Tea Party Protests: 'Ni**er,' 'Fa**ot' Shouted At Members Of Congress

[ironsides]

So, what's the long-term projections for how this changes health care expenditures? How much is too much to provide health care to more Americans? By when do Americans need to have insurance?

The macro issues are more important.

Ask Obama, he Reid and Pelosi have admitted they do not know what is in the health plan. No one does, they said get it thru and we can work out the details later. Huh??

Sure accept anything big brother knows best.

To quote you: " The macro issues are more important" I think knowing what you are voting for is important, more important than getting you name in history books.

I don't think you understand how it works. But that's ok, I still luv you man.

No, I'm asking you, the one who brought up the price tag. Of course there are costs, investments generally work that way...CBO projections range from a net reduction of debt, equal to about one half of a % savings, to one quarter of a % increase in budget deficits by 2019.

Sure accept anything big brother knows best.

You accept whatever you like.

To quote you: " The macro issues are more important" I think knowing what you are voting for is important, more important than getting you name in history books.

Sure. But it's not clear that this is the case. So your comment is pretty much irrelevant.

The Tea Party. Named after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, I assume.

The American War of Independence was a strange era of world history, when North American slave owners, of all people, demanded their "freedom" from Britain and then, 230 years later, making a movie known as "The Patriot" portraying the British as intrinsically evil (despite the fact that Mel Gibson's character is based on Francis Marion, a serial rapist who hunted Red Indians for fun) just because they had the audacity to ask the North Americans to pay for a war that the British fought against the French on their behalf and portraying the above mentioned slaves as "free people."

Meanwhile, Britain had only abolished slavery four years before - in Britain. How many of the Empire's indigenous people had to bow to Brit masters?

Just because the Tea Party is against what President Obama is doing and trying to do it of course must be supported by the corporations. The U.S. was suckered when Obama was elected, he said things that some thought had to be done, not realizing that what he was proposing that we become a socialist state like those that seem to be supporting him. He is now getting good marks from the likes of Castro, Chavez, geez we are even starting to ease up on sanctions against Iran.
Yes, the American people were dumb when they elected Obama to the Presidency, but the Tea Party is awakening us up. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue, it is a issue about do we want to be socialist or not.

Why is it misery loves company. (some of you will understand that statement)

Obama ran on the platform of health care reform and that is just what he has done. When people voted for him, I assume they expected him to carry out the health care reform. I don't think American people were dumb. They wanted health care reform, so they voted for Obama.

And it is very much a Democratic and Republican issue. The Tea party is mostly the far right base of the Republican Party. Whenever they have a meeting, invariably all the speakers are Republicans, I have never seen a Democrat speak at these parties.

The agenda of Tea Party is to get Republicans back in power, no more, no less. If Republicans do come back to power, Tea Party will disappear. They then will be calling the shots in DC, as they did during the 12 years that Republicans controlled the Congress.

The freedom to keep slaves..it isn't much different these days, except most slaves work at Timmy's or McDonalds.

The window of the office of Republican whip Eric Cantor was shattered by a bullet. It was explained on MSNBC that it was not aimed at his office, but it was a bullet shot straight up, and by some coincinence it fell into Mr. Cantor's office window.

That gives you an idea about the credibility of the left-wing media, and the chip-on-the-shoulder crybabies like Lewis and Franks.

It was a result of random shooting. His office is located in a rough neighbourhood, and drive by shootings are apparently common.

Republicans made a big deal of the fact that he was shot at. Now it turns out that it was just a random shooting. The real threats and real attempts to cause bodily harm have been directed against Democrats, not against Republicans. The general impression of course, is that Tea Party is to blame.

Ironsides, I've seen with my own eyes how these things work. There is no way on Earth a grassroots lobby can organize like this without corporate money and related resources. It's impossible.

And with considerably Republican support. I remember seeing a poll that around 70% of teabaggers call themselves Republicans. This is very much the far right Republican Party base.

 

[YukonJack]

"You have not stayed on topic, YJ. You have talked of everything except the behavior of tea baggers. Show me even one post in this thread by you, where you discuss the racist and homophobic behavior of tea baggers."

There is nothing to show, because there never was any epitaphs shouted or whispered at Lewis or Franks. Both of these two worthies, along with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton etc. are known as overly sensitive fabricators of lies and and overly sensitive mimosas.

And of course, both of them - Hell ALL of them - are protected and shielded by political correctness.

But perhaps YOU can come up with a video or any other proof to prove me wrong.

"Ironsides, I've seen with my own eyes how these things work. There is no way on Earth a grassroots lobby can organize like this without corporate money and related resources. It's impossible."

Of course, Kreskin!

The French Revolution, the American Revolution, even the Bolshevik Revolution were ALL organized, supported and run by big corporations.

So, are you saying that teabaggers are going to launch a revolution? Funny, I thought the agenda was to get Democrats out of power, put Republicans in power and it will be paradise in USA. Now talk has progressed to a revolution, has it?

 

[SirJosephPorter]

"I realize you guys live in the 1700's with the founding fathers and all but the world has changed and things work a little differently from the days of Johnny Appleseed."

I think you are under the impression that I am American, based on your "you guys" and "founding fathers" comment.

You may as well be, YJ. You have a slavish adoration, adulation for anything American, a visceral hatred for anything Canadian. It beats me why you don't move to USA, since you apparently seem to think that it is the perfect society, while Canada is plainly Sodom and Gomorrah (at least according to you).

 

[SirJosephPorter]

According to you, and your 'reasoning', the Velvet Revolution of Czechoslovakia in 1968, the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 and the revolution that resulted in the break up of the Soviet Union were - had to be - sponsored by corporations.

They did not result in breakup of Soviet Union, where did you get such an absurd notion? Both the revolutions were ruthlessly crushed by the Soviets. Soviet union did not break up until much later.

That is as absurd as claiming that the Cuban Missile crises resulted in the break up of Soviet Union.

 

[SirJosephPorter]

Here ya go, check the Tea Party out. I don't see what corporations have to do with anything, they will make out no matter who wins. With the new law covering contributions, if the "Tea Party" was getting corporate money, they would be richer than either the Democrats or Republican.

The tea party movement is a far-flung coalition of conservative groups angered by Washington spending, rising taxes and the growth and reach of government.

I am glad you mentioned conservative groups. That is what I have been saying all along, it is the far right base of the Republican party, who is mad because they don't have any power in Washington after 12 years.

They are addicted to power, and they just cannot stand the thought that they don't call the shots any more.

You have already been proved wrong. Most of the press reported the story as true.

I don’t have to prove anything to you. And I doubt a video, however explicit will convince you anyway. But the entire press, both of left and right (FOX News, CNN and several others) have reported that racial and homophobic slurs were made, and I see no reason to doubt them.

And I have read on the internet that one teabagger actually admitted that she saw a man approach Barney Franks and called him ‘fagg*t’. She showed uncommon honesty for a teabagger.

So video notwithstanding, I see no reason to disbelieve most of the press. As for you, you are a strong sympathizer of the Tea Party; they represent the same extreme right wing politics as you do. So I don’t think any video, any proof will convince you of any wrongdoing on their part anyway.

Wrong again, as usual OH Mighty One.

I am nowhere near as slavish in my sympathy towards the United States as you appear to be in your slobbering idolization of Barrack Obama.

And you seem to forget that the United States has been here for 234 years, has been the beacon of freedom, and the most desired destination of immigrants from all over the world and for all those years has been the unmatched example of Democracy. Obama is here for the next two and a half years and then he will find his well-deserved place in the ash-heap of history, along with your other idol, Jimmy Carter. Unless he gets impeached first.

If you find it offensive that I am not blind enough to deny centuries old fact in the name of pseudo patriotism, that is your problem.

And PLEASE, stop the crap about wishing me to move to the States. If that is your last resort in a debate, you are even more pathetic than most of the posters here think you are.

Re post #173.

If you had read my post like an intelligent person you claim to be, you would not have made that absurd post.

READ MY POST AGAIN.

 

[YukonJack]

Re #175.

You always insist on demanding suppoprting links/videos when someone disagrees with you.

You say "most of the press". So, who were those who did not?

Can you name the female who allegedly saw or heard your nonsense?

Whatever anyone might have called Franks and Lewis (and you still have to prove that anyone EVER did) is not as offensive as tagging regular, honest, hard-working Americans with the most repulsive homosexual tag, "TEA-BAGGER".

Or even more so all, the names the oh-so-loving-and tolerant liberal called George W. Bush.

The far Right, the Right, Republicans, conservative Democrats, regular Democrats, Independents, even some far left who think they were used by him. Quite a lot of people are against his policies.

Then he's probably doing the right thing.
