Tea-Party Wants USA Circa 1860 [Grade A Authentic Leftist Gibberish]
Black Star News ^ | November 13, 2009 | Eric L. Wattree

Posted on 11/15/2009 9:49:21 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

I just saw another one of those videos.

You know the ones - the kind that Fox "News" loves to show; of the clueless teabagger with tears in her eyes, complaining that she wants her country back. They're designed to tug at our heartstrings, but they have just the opposite effect on me.

What I see is a social bigot who thinks the world is about to come to an end because Barack Obama is the president instead of the White House butler.

The complete irony of that clip is the fact that, the very Black man that she's complaining about is actually the one who's trying to give her a country that she can call her own, while the Republican that she's crying to secretly looks upon her, and her kind, as ignorant trailer trash, that's only good for contributing to their wealth and power, pumping out babies that they can grind up in their war machine, and making a fool of herself in their staged videos.

The man can barely disguise his disgust as he's looking at her. I find myself making the very same point article after article, but what else can I do when such a large part of the population has been so thoroughly brainwashed that they can't see what's right before their eyes?

Let me amend that. I think they can see it, but they refuse to recognize a reality that they don't want to accept. Not all, but many of these people know that it's driving them crazy that a Black man is in the White House. But since it's no longer socially acceptable for them to be blatantly racist, they have to disguise their racist attitudes by couching them in other issues with a wink: "It's not that I hate that Black man in the White House, it's just that I hate everything he represents, even if what he represents directly benefits my family."

These people are indulging in a classic example of cutting off their nose to spite their face. One might argue that many people were also against health-care reform under President Clinton, and he was White. That is true, but they hated Bill Clinton, liberalism, and the Democratic Party almost as much as they hate Obama, because all three advocated the "slippery slop" that led to Obama.

The GOP is very good at marketing, and they mounted a brilliant campaign to demonized the word "liberal" in the political lexicon. During the sixties they mounted a campaign against liberalism by equating it with: the push for civil rights; being "soft on crime"; and, promoting welfare - which was politispeech for coddling Black people.

Then by repeatedly combining these concepts, the word liberal became associated, at least, in the uneducated mind, with "those who coddle Black people, who are criminal, lazy, and want to take your money while they sit on welfare, and take drugs." Through the use of that tactic the GOP successfully turned the word liberal into now, what is essentially, a racial slur.

So it's no wonder the Tea baggers are up in arms. As far as they're concerned the country is being run by a criminal –who's probably taking drugs in the White House— who wants to take their money so he can set up his lazy people to lay-up on welfare and have babies at their expense.

Many of these people have been programmed all of their lives to believe that propaganda, so that Mindset is as much a part of them as their religion - and the Republican Party is continuing to reinforce that belief with every sound bite. So in short, with every teabag rally, the GOP is purposely trying to incite insurrection.

Am I overstating my case? Is it possible that the GOP is legitimately concerned about the plight of the American people? I don't think so.

The Republicans have become so blatant in their attempt to manipulate the people that they've become predictable. I did an experiment. Right after I heard about the Fort Hood shooting I rushed to Twitter to record my prediction that GOP supporters were going to find a way to twist the facts to involve President Obama as part of their demonization campaign:

Twitter: Let's see how long it takes for the Republicans to try to twist the Fort Hood Shootings into a political attack on Obama. 12:39 PM Nov 5th from web. The next day's entry:

Yesterday I said let's see how long before wingnuts blame [the fort Hood] shooting on Obama. Well... http://bit.ly/uLhxS, 6:31 PM Nov 6th from web. Just as I predicted an article was published in the WorldNet Daily, a publication founded by arch conservative, Joseph Farah, claiming that the shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was an advisor on President Obama's transition team. But of course, it was a lie.

And Farah's not just some blogger who didn't get his facts straight. He's a life long "journalist" and long time conservative operative. Prior to founding WorldNet Daily, Farah was executive editor of the now defunct Los Angeles Herald Examiner, and later, the editor of the Sacramento Union.

While at the Union, he persuaded Rush Limbaugh to write a daily front page column. He also collaborated with Limbaugh on the book “See, I told You So,” in 1994.

Farah is also a prominent birther, who's quoted as saying regarding the birther's claim that, "It'll plague Obama throughout his presidency. It'll be a nagging issue and a sore on his administration, much like Monica Lewinsky was on Bill Clinton's presidency," and, "It's not going to go away, and it will drive a wedge in an already divided public."

So there you have it - not in my words, but in the words of a prominent conservative operative. The Republicans' primary agenda is not to pull the people of this country together in order to weather two wars, the loss of homes and jobs, and the deepest recession since the Great Depression, but to "drive a wedge in an already divided public."

What a fine bunch of patriots, these Republicans. Every time the word America" comes out of their mouths, it makes me want to throw up.

This is code-speak for not letting the leftists have their way. They are the masters of the strawman argument.

That is an incomplete and meaningless sentence.

Which doesn't surprise me. Who is "he?"

Do DNC operative trolls with catchy patriotic games alwas post while drunk?

What exactly, is the purpose of this post?

Barf alert missing?

Can’t Wattree tell that if you lined up all the black people in America in order of their competency to be President, the Bummer would be in the bottom 1 or 2 percent?

How so? I don't understand your complaint.

"He" obviously refers to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. "Eric" is Eric L. Wattree, the author of the article on Black Star News that 2ndDivisionVet posted.

BTW, I do not know if Maj. Hasan was a member of Obama's transition team or not, but I had no trouble understanding the sentence.

Here is a document relating to the transition which mentions Dr. Hasan. His exact involvement seems to be hotly disputed.

It’s always amazing to me how the left is so sure how we think. This one thinks we look on this woman as “trailer trash”.

Ummm, it’s the left that loves to look down on whites calling them “rednecks” and “crackers”. They just give themselves aways with garbage like this.

And as for the “black man in the white house” bit, I love to look at their faces when I tell them I probably voted for a black man for president before they did, i.e. Keyes in the primary. And when they start on Keyes, usually some kind of comment like, “Oh, he’s not the right kind of black man. He’s not on the Democrat victimization plantation” sort of sends them nuts.

Eric L. Wattree

Feel the love.

"While the color of your skin may suggest a common heritage that makes it likely that you can bond as brothers, that’s not always the case–people like Clarence Thomas and Larry Elder immediately comes to mind, in that regard. Therefore, the lesson that must be learned, is your brother is not always the one who looks like you; your true brother, is the one who thinks like you. [Eric L. Wattree, Beneath The Spin, July 21, 2008]

Ditto for Conservatives, Eric. Duh!

"What I see is a social bigot who thinks the world is about to come to an end because Barack Obama is the president instead of the White House butler."

Can't stop with the race card. It's the only thing that works when when the facts are really against you. Did anybody really think this would change?

"The irony of that clip is the fact that, the very Black man that she's complaining about is actually the one who's trying to give her a country that she can call her own..."

Funny..I never saw or heard anyone mention race except the author.

"while the Republican that she's crying to secretly looks upon her, and her kind, as ignorant trailer trash, that's only good for contributing to their wealth and power, pumping out babies that they can grind up in their war machine, and making a fool of herself in their staged videos.

May be true but Obama and this Congress are doing a pretty good job of giving that impression as well.

"The man can barely disguise his disgust as he's looking at her. I find myself making the very same point article after article, but what else can I do when such a large part of the population has been so thoroughly brainwashed that they can't see what's right before their eyes?"

Both parties are for big government control and enslaving the people...who is the brainwashed one again?

"Let me amend that. I think they can see it, but they refuse to recognize a reality that they don't want to accept. Not all, but many of these people know that it's driving them crazy that a Black man is in the White House."

I think you already played that card once. Thank you very much.

"But since it's no longer socially acceptable for them to be blatantly racist, they have to disguise their racist attitudes by couching them in other issues with a wink:

Never saw a person do such intellectual gymnastics to make their point seem reliable before. I'd like some evidence for all this "winking" going on....oh you say you got none? I thought so..you pulled that one right out of your butt.

""It's not that I hate that Black man in the White House, it's just that I hate everything he represents, even if what he represents directly benefits my family."

He's Black...oh my God..America didn't know that when they voted for him..heck, I didn't even know that until you mentioned it three times already. WOW. Yep..all those benefits the Congress and Obama are gonna give us all will be so wonderful, jail time for no healthcare, crappy cars, taxed from cradle to grave, can't ever be successful whether you are black, white, gay, a woman or an alien without someone telling you how to live your life and having half your stash stolen from you. Yea...looking like we will all be movin' on side ways, that's if the government decides it's ok for us to live at all.

"These people are indulging in a classic example of cutting off their nose to spite their face. One might argue that many people were also against health-care reform under President Clinton, and he was White. That is true, but they hated Bill Clinton, liberalism, and the Democratic Party almost as much as they hate Obama, because all three advocated the "slippery slop" that led to Obama."

Who knew Obama was coming along when Clinton was in office? Wasn't Obama in diapers or something then....oh yea, now I know...It's back to "the spooky BLLLAAACCKK man" in office. Four times we get the race card. Isn't there a rule about how many times you can mention this in one article?

"The GOP is very good at marketing, and they mounted a brilliant campaign to demonized the word "liberal" in the political lexicon. During the sixties they mounted a campaign against liberalism by equating it with: the push for civil rights; being "soft on crime"; and, promoting welfare - which was politispeech for coddling Black people."

Well..there you go again..it's was all about race, but now we got so much crime that the liberals say we have to have our guns taken away. Amazing isn't it?

" Then by repeatedly combining these concepts, the word liberal became associated, at least, in the uneducated mind, with "those who coddle Black people, who are criminal, lazy, and want to take your money while they sit on welfare, and take drugs." Through the use of that tactic the GOP successfully turned the word liberal into now, what is essentially, a racial slur."

I was pretty sure liberal moonbats came in all colors but if you say so...you are on a roll..what is that five times now..it's all about race?

I'm done..I know what the rest will say..the sun comes up in the east because teabaggers hate white people and they don't want to tell the government what kind of toilet they have because they hate Black people and they don't want to give up red meat because they hate Black people and they don't want to give up their freedoms and let the Federal government crooks wipe all our butts for us because we hate Black people. Wow, Am I smart or what?
