So... I was just called a racist... by my family.
Political Lore Blog ^

Posted on 09/18/2009 8:39:40 AM PDT by DecoyJames

“Are you a teabagger?,you must be a teabagger?” In which I respond “You must be watching some Rachel Maddow”, “Nope, are you a teabagger? That’s what you are called, right?”

I was then told that teabaggers were racist, and the protesters at the rally only came out because they hate blacks. WTF!?!

Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
—Mark 10:28-31

Next time ask her if she believes in paying higher taxes and when she says yes, ask why she doesn't voluntarily give extra to the government right now to show she really believes in their policies?

When she says the rich should pay more, ask her if she wants to pay more for gas, food, clothing, insurance, electricity, movies, music downloads..... because it trickles down, just like a little acorn falling out of a big government tree.

My bro in law is a big lib. And he went beserk last week on the phone (he called for a recipe - I mockingly asked if he was on “food stamps yet with all this hope and change going on.)

He ended with it, “Yeah, it’s all the n*ggers fault.”

Who said that? Racism drives people. They’re the racists.

I have a liberal arm of the family. I do not EVER contact them for anything. Rabid libs - I do not need the grief.

Not realizing that they are calling their liberal paragon, Barney Frank, a racist!

>>Are you a teabagger?

How about this response?

If you’re capable of describing to me the definition of the word “teabagger” in specific terms, I’ll attempt to answer your inquiries on a case by case basis. But let it be known now that the likely answer to your question is that I love liberty more than I love comfort.

My Lib friendships are falling faster than an Acorn Ho at a Democratic convention. Anyone who is an ZerOWE(Acorn, Nazi P. Dirty Harry, etc) supporter is not taking their meds or seriously deranged.
I was supposed to have a “date” with a supposed “Conservative” who voted for Bam and is “open” to hearing all sides and supports the “person” rather than the “party”.(all air quotes) Oops, I forgot my keys in the car: be right back.
So out with the Lib friends...you don’t want to hang with people who are that stupid and out of touch with reality!
Family is a little tougher but they are expendable too.
You could try to talk about politics. It’s impossible for me. So I continue to alienate, annoy, and defend my core principles and pro American values. Whoo Hoo!
Libs don’t have any.... and that’s sad.

I wouldn't pursue it, frankly, it isn't worth your time, but what I do when that happens is immediately ask "where's your evidence?" They inevitably slide back into some sort of group argument - IF you were at the demo, IF you are a member of FR, all that - keep pounding at the "where's your evidence that I'm a racist? What did I do specifically? At whom was it directed?" Keep it focused on you, not on some group you can be accused of being a member of.

Keep pounding until they drop it, and then pound some more to make sure they don't do it again. Bring it up later. Be obnoxious about it. "Oh, yeah, you're the one who likes to make false accusations of racism. Made any lately?"

The reason you want to be persistent is that this is largely a hit-and-run tactic that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Make them pay for using it. If they start to avoid you, so much the better.

If you haven’t been called a racists at least once in the last decade for standing up for your Constitutional rights or making legit criticisms of some non-race related government policy, then you’re not living in America.

My response is always, no I love my fellow man, but I am no longer willing to accept the fact that the majority is under-represented so that 13.5% of the population can control 100% of the national dialogue.

Time to cut the cord - to emotionally divest yourself from their opinion of you.

Once you do that, they are merely another person in this world who has their head stuck up their butt.

I tried it, and a weight has been lifted off of me. Plus, I moved far away to an awesome state that does not put up with a lot of liberal nonsense, so the random man on the street tends to have the same common sense as me.

The one thought in the back of my bitter mind is "If something bad happens in California like an earthquake, my family is not coming to stay with me. They are on their own."

Bitter and hateful? Maybe, but as an adult I have a responsibility to surround my immediatefamily with folks I can count on in a bind (like a post-hurricane period when defending the homestead takes on a higher importance) and who share common values. Many in my family have proven themselves to be moonbats with whom I have nothing in common. Their irrational fear and hatred of guns is one glaring example, plus the long-held belief in the gay and leftist communities that Ronald Reagan is partially to blame for the current AIDS crisis.

That’s how I deal with it - I don’t bother w/them. Otherwise, I’d be handing over my sanity and peace for grief - I simply won’t allow it. Same reason I don’t listen to the lame stream media.

Anyone calls me a “teabagger” gets the, “So why are you so obsessed with homoerotic activity? Are you soliciting teabagging? What kind of perv are you?” response.

Just tell them the old true statement regarding debate. Whoever resorts to name calling first, has lost the debate. Intellectually, they’re either lazy, or they’ve hit their limit. Either way, you win.
