Honestly, with the proof happening on 8-28, will Beck's rally be a big event?

Let's hope a downdraft of all his hot air lays them to waste.

i just hope they have enough medics to deal with all the old people out in the sun for 3 hours.

But if there are no medics Health care cost will go down as the expensive old people pass.
Beck's health care bill finally comes to light.

Yes, I tend to enjoy marginalizing idiots. I think they should be marginalized and ridiculed. The entire movement is fucking dangerous and represents elements which would turn the US into a Theocratic police state. I won't silence them, but I also will not spare them from the ridicule the idiots so deserve.

Your opinion certainly doesn't seem irrational to an outsider observer like me. They as a faction do seem to represent xenophobic, historical revisionist, nationalist ignorance in the USA.

Zephie wrote:Calling them ignorant buffoons shows to me you are justifying calling them teabaggers.


I justify calling them tea-baggers because the movement had pledged to engage in tea bagging as a form of protest. That they did not know the connotation associated sith "tea bag" as a verb is not my fucking problem, and my continued use is merely to continue to remind my audience how ignorant the movement is.

Zephie wrote: The media started calling them "teabaggers"


Which is accurate in conjugating their self assigned verbage back to use as a noun to associate their activity. And we knew the sexual overtoned to it, so it allowed for an accurate re-portrayal of their own ignorance and stupidity.

Zephie wrote: Then they started embracing the title, since the Media kept using it to ridicule them, which led to videos of them turning around the mockery.


Point?

Zephie wrote: It wouldn't roll so well if every neocon was called a fudgepacker.


Well, that would not be an accurate equivalent unless Neocons ran around with protest signs encouraging people in the movement to pack fudge... If they did that, then they would deserve every bit of ridicule being labeled as "fudgepackers". Just as the Tea Party movement deserved every bit of ridicule at being labeled "teabaggers".

The whole point of calling them teabaggers is so people won't take them seriously and find them stupid. Apparently, it worked on you.

You've got that backwards. We don't find them stupid and not take them seriously because we call them teabaggers, we call them teabaggers because we find them stupid and think they shouldn't be taken seriously.

Uh, being religious does not mean you are a theocrat, just like how believing in some social programs does not make you a communist.
When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.
