Texas Democratic Chairman calls teabaggers "fools"
The Dallas Morning News ^ | Sep 10, 2009 | Wayne Slater

Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie told national Democrats on Thursday that anti-tax tea party participants and those who question President Obama's citizenship are "fools" that get too much media attention. Richie said the president's critics are riding a tidal wave of anti-government sentiment. He said fielding strong candidates and winning local and statewide elections next November is the best way to silence the president's most outspoken critics.

"We will no longer have these fools who call themselves teabaggers and birthers and others out there garnering the press," he said. "Instead, we will have people saying, our government does work for me."

I suppose people who railed against Bush were heroes then.

More insanity from the Left.

We know the thugocracy you call a government works for you a$$hole, what is at issue is whether or not it's constitutional.

You might have to look up that last word, Mr. Richie.

I agree with him. Hopefully, next year we will have people that will recognize that government is supposed to work for us

Excuse me? We have the First Amendment and it was specifically made for this type of speech. If you believe otherwise Mr Boyd Richie, that makes you a tyrant.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

Thanks for telling us where we’re hurting you, Chairman! I guess we know where to concentrate our forces now.

Feel free to call us fools whenever you like!

our government does work for me

This guy clearly doesn't get it.
The road they are on will have us all working for the government instead. What we WANT is a government that actually works for us, is responsible to us, and stays out of those things about which it has no business.

I see those idiots in the MSM don’t realize that “teabagger” is a derogatory and sexual reference.

Proper English is a dying form of expression, especially in “journalism.”

So people who voice their opinions and concerns are now fools? Tells you what the Democratic party is all about. They best look in the mirror and see who was fooled.

It’s the DMN. Consider the source. The DMN and the Houston Chronicle are both dying rags and they try to stir as much as they can. This democrat chairman is a loser. His mother is a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries.

He’s got that Texas look though, that’s for sure. Even the name is pure Texan.
