Title: PROPAGANDA: Off the Deep End: A Teabagger Tradition

Teabaggers like to believe they’re a new political movement, but there’s nothing new about them. Their right wing extremism, ignorance, racism and reactionary self-righteousness are as old as humanity. There were Teabaggers in ancient Israel, they were known as the Pharisees. There were Teabaggers in Spain, they burned heretics at the stake for the Inquisition. There were Teabaggers in South Africa during the days of Apartheid, they imprisoned Nelson Mandela for 28 years. There are Teabaggers all over Afghanistan, they’re known as the Taliban. There are even Teabaggers in the animal kingdom, they’re called Parrots.

Right wing extremism, ignorance, racism and reactionary self-righteousness have never been a good combination, but they are all on full display everywhere the Teabaggers of this country gather. It doesn’t matter where they meet to celebrate their hypocrisy, it doesn’t matter what their misspelled signs say, it doesn’t matter who or what they’re babbling about, the spectacle is always the same. They profane democracy with their irrational tantrums about Obama, they parrot the right wing propaganda of those character assassins at Fox News, they debase reality itself with their paranoia, they parade around as patriots, but they don’t have a clue what patriotism is.

The lies of Limbaugh and Hannity and Beck are their weapons, their Teabagger fingers are always on the trigger, they fire their lies and reload, fire and reload, fire and reload. If you’re a progressive you’re a target, if you register minority voters you‘re a target, if you’re in a union you’re a target, if you warn about global warming you’re a target, if you don‘t bow down and worship at the Altar of Fox News, you‘re a target.

They aren’t patriots, they’re right wing extremists. They have no respect for democracy. When Democrats win elections, Teabaggers call it tyranny. The lights went out in their attics long ago, but we’re all supposed to listen to their tedious tantrums. They say they want to take America back. Well how far back do you want to take it, Teabaggers? To 1950? To 1850? To the 12th Century? To the Stone Age?

America is paying a very heavy price for those right wing policies you love so much. Deregulation and tax cuts for the rich have shattered our economy. Endless wars have shattered our military and bankrupted our Treasury. Oil company profiteering has savaged our Gulf Coast. The Bill of Rights has been burned to ashes except for your blood-drenched 2nd Amendment, which you wave in our faces as you incite sedition and call it patriotism.

Tell me no more of your Tea Party stories, tell me no more of your Hannity lies, your leaders are frauds, your words are just noise, your eyes cannot see and your ears cannot hear. Don’t bother replying, it would just be more lying, your minds are filled with irrational fear, of Blacks and Hispanics, of Asians and Muslims, of all of God’s children who look different from you.

Put away all your signs and spare us your slogans, stop pointing your finger at everyone else, that ideology you’re so proud of has brought us this nightmare, of bankers and profiteers out of control, of oil on our shores and blood on our hands, from torture and bombing and Middle East wars. You deserve no attention, you deserve no respect, you deserve condemnation and so does Glenn Beck. He lies and deceives, he smears and he slanders, he‘s gone off the deep end, but that’s nothing new, like Palin and Bachmann, like Gingrich and Cheney, your heroes all do that, that’s all that they do.

Skippy you claimed that the Parsons wasn't listed as having splashed any Migs. That's a straight up LIE skippy boy, because as I have already stated, there is no such list, you foul cowardly little lying BLEEP.

It would be easy to prove that I'm wrong about such a list skippy boy, just cite "the list". LOL! Of course that would be impossible, since no such "list" exists you foul cowardly little lying BLEEP.

You are just another miserable little slack jawed brain dead chickenhawk BLEEP commando posting from your mommy's basement before catching your shift at the drive up window.

You hate me so you'll just keep posting your specious LIES in an attempt to slur me. LOL! Too bad you can't even do that properly BLEEP boy, you are a WEAK, COWARDLY little lying BLEEP skippy. You don't even have the b@lls that most GURLS today have!

LOL! You SUCK little BLEEP boy. The reason that you stink is so that even blind people can despise you. Your mommy had to tie a pork chop around your neck to get the dog to play with you. I have bad news, you have been passed over for that promotion to fries, they promoted that half wit co-worker of yours over you. Hey he has half a wit, which WAY more that you ever will have after all.

That's complete bullshit, and no matter how much you try to obfuscate it with your insane rants, you're still a world class liar.

Scare? Bore is the right term, Pansy. Old drunks like you are always boring because all you do is repeat yourself, and you've yet to say anything worth hearing twice.

Frankly stone, that somehow lacks the weight of my total contempt for these scum bags that I'm attempting to convey to them. Unfortunately they'd never have the b@lls to speak face to face that way to anybody.

LOL!

WEAK, bird boy just like YOU are, WEAK!

WHERE is the citation from the official USN/US list bird boy?

Cite your source bird boy. LOL!

CITE the source.

Show us all where it is a complete and "official" USN or US list of what ships and units splashed Migs during the Vietnam WAR bird boy!

You CAN'T, because such a list does NOT exist, anywhere, and it never did.

You pitiful hate filled little LYING creep. You TRY to use some random emails allegedly from USS Parsons crew, from an uncited source, that do not mention splashing any Migs, as "proof" that the Parsons NEVER splashed any Migs?

You are truly a hate filled mental defective, and a vile little LYING COWARD you miserable POS MORON.

You are just another chickenhawk pitiful creep, and an ignorant LYING moron.

I guess you CT's really are mentally defective, if you think THAT cr@p is "proof" of anything creep.

Do you even know what a "CAP on our vector" means you lying piece of filth?

You really are a pitiful hate filled LYING POS bird boy.

Parsons was one of TWO ships I served on COWARD. Where's you "research" on Horne creep?

Want to tell us ALL, again, which branch YOU served in bird boy? Where? When? What was you mos/nec again bird boy?

You are a vile hate filled foreign coward, who never had the courage to serve even an instant in ANY military, who hates me so much that you would say anything and do anything to "get me" LOL! You really are beneath the contempt of ANY and all men. My dogs cr@p out better "men" that YOU will ever be every day creep.

You dishonor your ancestor's names creep.

I'd like to be king of the USSA for a while.

It would be quite different at the end of my reign.

The Founders would recognize it.

You don't even know where Hiroshima or Nagasaki ARE do you asswipe?

Sure I do. They're in Kansas.

on board the "Enola Gay"

Was that the "Don't ask, don't tell" aircraft? And that's no way to talk about Enola. Sure, there are those photos going around on the internet, but she was young, and needed the money.

my second ship

Wow. You owned two ships?

I'll bet you type your response to this with a bayonet clenched in your teeth.

(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not?

(Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care.

Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.

You should show the Pussy more respect. Didn't you know he's been to the Arizona memorial? How many people can truthfully say that?
