Letter from Washington State Representative Geoff Simpson (Dem) in response to a apology demand for using the term teabagger......
quote
Dear Jim "I don't think it's patriotic to fly airplanes into buildings as one of your tea party members recently did. I find your movement to be infected with the same selfish, hate-spawned and dangerous ideas that have plagued civilization from time to time, only to be quelled when appeals to man's more patriotic attributes of selflessness, kindness, compassion and peace have prevailed.
I was puzzled by your objection to my recounting the words of my 90 year old decorated WWII veteran constituent until I heard the more obscure alternate meaning associated with the term teabag. I believe my friend was using the term to describe angry, predominantly white, anti-government individuals who have recently been made prominent by the media highlighting their hate-filled rhetoric toward all things progressive.
Indeed, it is well documented that the originators of your movement themselves adopted the names "teabag" and "tea bagger" to describe their anti-government antics. Your manufactured outrage toward me for using the term that the fathers and mothers of your movement coined for themselves is tiresome.
I will apologize to you for recounting my friend's puzzlement about the selfishness of your movement when you apologize for your hatred, your selfishness and your lack of compassion toward others.
Thanks,
Geoff

Write him back and ask him what liberalism as to do with compassion.
Hey Geoffy! KISS IT! The IRS guy was an anti-capitalist who was pissed off about KenyanCare being stalled in the Congress. In other words, he was one of YOUR comrades, Geoffy boy.
A lot of that letter is identical to the letter that he sent to radio host Dori Monson. It seems that Simpson has cobbled together something of a form letter on this topic to send to people he hates.
Take a look-see at his Wikipedia. Some interesting stuff there. Sounds like a man without much control of his temper.
They are coming unhinged ya’ll.
If they are dumb enoughe to poke a rattlesnake, they may just get bit.
He is an ignoramus. No one should pay any attention to him. On the other hand, I would keep a sharp eye on this legislative activities, he sounds like the kind of politician who is eager to seize the wealth of others.
Probably straight from this week’s DNC talking points?
I’m not understanding why this is considered the behavior of an “unhinged” Democrat. I have not seen any “hinged” Democrats recently. “Unhinged Democrat” is a redundancy.
Let him open up his mouth and reveal what an idiot he is, voters take note.
He writes like a drunk FReeper on a Civil War thread!
Of course. They cannot think for themselves.
LOL!
Good grief...what a lying idiot.
Oh yeah, he would vote for DADT
Man, that guy looks gay.
They have the creative intellect of **red** ant. ( Sorry to insult ants.)

This man is psychotic.
Why are we not hammering the public with this crazyass pilot’s Communist rant at the end of his screed? Letting the MSM get away with such a clear, 180 degree wrong portrayal is nuts. This guy was no conservative, he was a Looney Leftie of the first order.
