The Tea Tantrum Movement ( simpleton Andrew Sullivan shows his ignorance)
The Atlantic ^ | April 10, 2009 | Andrew Sullivan

Posted on 04/11/2009 10:15:12 AM PDT by jmaroneps37

Here are some excerpts from a pile of crap dropped by this drooling half wit and my responses:

"I spent the better part of an hour earlier today scanning the various sites and blogs to try and understand ... tea parties are about. I have to say I'm still befuddled.

Hey dummie these demonstratioons are American responses to unAmerican government.

It's a protest of the bank bailouts orchestrated by Bush and now Obama.... So because Bush gave us some bailouts we should watch while comrade Obama nationalizes industry after industry?

It's a protest against tax hikes. But there have barely been any!.. Stupid obviously doesn't read the papers.

It's a protest against illegal immigration. Ok, so why the tea? Weren't all the original tea-partiers illegal immigrants? So dimwitted as to be pitiful.

It's a protest against government debt. Yay! I will leave aside the somewhat awkward fact that Fox News and Pajamas Media barely covered the massive debt racked up by the Republicans and stupid doesn't understand jis Dear Leadcer has incresed our debt by a factor of NINE times what Bush left.

.. the only word for that is: tantrum. The word for this fool is uneducated. He doesn't understand how and why America became great.

These are not tea-parties. They are tea-tantrums... Little men think little thoughts.

A drooling half wit proving how liberal he is to his editor by making believe he doesn't undestand TEA parties. This jerk is like the guy who jumps from 40 stories and when he passes the 2nd floor shruggs and says, "So far so good. Nothing to worry about!"

Andrew Sullivan is a self-appointed, brilliant, all-knowing, holier-than-thou liberal who is seventeen steps higher than the rest of us on the evolution scale. He can’t understand how anyone could be so stupid as to want lower taxes and to be left alone.

Dontcha know?

IMHO

Well, this is no surprise.

When you are saddled with a disease like Homosexuality, it’s no wonder you can’t think straight when it comes to such matters as ethics, principles, and morality.

It really makes it hard to think straight when your whole life centers around your self and your selfish desires.

There has been a lot of MSM attention lately to these tea parties, but not the kind where they are newsworthy and the protests of the participants are discussed. NO, instead the coverage is all about how these are merely temper tantrums from poor loser Republicans who don’t want to pay any taxes.

I have seen several commentators and they are all dismissing the tea parties.

This tells me they are effective in getting the message across. Otherwise, the MSM would just ignore them.

It’s protesting turning future generations into tax slaves.

Befuddled? Befuddled is trying to understand why a guy would want to poke another guy in the behind.

Oh that is funny that the left is in full discredit mode and have resorted to juvenile insults to try to cut down on turn out? Sorry but if you don’t get it then you are the stupid one not me.

Yes, the unhealthy preoccupation with one's own genitalia and that of others, has proven to be a serious impediment to reason and logical thought. Consider, if you will, this bizarre specimen:

Golly, the "better part of an hour?" Just wow.

And therein is the answer. But of course he can not see it and I am not surprised. It is not contained within a 15 second sound bite info-speck.

It requires somewhat longer than one hour to understand, more like, oh, growing up to adulthood.

It requires the desire to be someone a bit more resourceful than a infantile, instant gratification whiner that falls for the rhetoric of the left.

Absolutely worst of all for Mr. Andrew Sullivan is that being something other than a mediocre, relatively unknown commentator of communist opinions is not only beyond his capacity, it appears to be beyond his aspirations.

The whole tea party thing has hit a nerve.

Lib talking points are to Alinskyize: ridicule is your most potent weapon.

Nobody ever accused libs of being original thinkers.

This sounds like it could have been taken directly from Daily KOS....

OH WAIT!! It was!!

We “Teabaggers” as the left has been calling us “are just uneducated, gun-totin’, bible-thumpin’, gay-hatin’ crazies, doncha know.” has been the party-approved line at KOS for a couple of weeks now.

I do wish that conservatives had started organizing and protesting a year or two or three ago, when the Bush Administration and Republicans in Congress were increasing the debt willy-nilly, all while claiming that they were true fiscal conservatives. It would have given this movement a lot more credibility. Everything that people are pissed about now has been going on for a while, but by only forming up now that Obama is in office, it makes it look more partisan than principled.

Oh well, better late than never, I suppose.

So I say we ramp it up! We all need to be sending out press releases to our local papers/TV news stations.

Hit the blogs, write letters to the editors.

Remember, anytime you leave a lib sputtering with rage, we all win.

“...and Republicans in Congress were increasing the debt willy-nilly, all the while claiming that they were true fiscal conservatives.”

Compared to the recent Democrat spending and proposed spending, the Republican “spending spree” seems to have been the height of responsiblity.

The Democrats seem to be getting their permission for their money-printing, money borrowing binge from prior Republican behavior, saying, “they started it”, just like the children-in-the-sandbox that they are. (Did the Republicans give over four bilion dollars to acorn-like organization with no strings attached?)

The Republicans tried to play the role of “Compassionate Conservative” and did nothing but become liberals, only without the psychosis and the ulterior motives.

IMHO

Yep using that excuse is very empty by the dems. They have effectly triple the debt they “inheirted”. I’m sorry but Obma did not “inheirt” this he voted while in Congress for this! It’s time we set the recond straight. We might’ve just been grumbling during the Bush years but now that we’ve found our voice WE will not be silensed just by name calling and ridicle!
