Tea Bagger Bigotry Exposed

September 19th, 2009

by Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy

The GOP has either allied themselves with the bigot-based 'tea bagger' movement or it is the instigator of it. Just when I had come to believe that the GOP could not possibly sink lower, it is now clear to me that this endemically bigoted party is positioned to exceed all previous lies, idiocy and hate talk that has been spewed on that party's behalf by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and a legion of hate spewing wannabes. Indeed, the GOP --apres Bush --is a deluge, jack-booted army of right wing hate mongers.

Another racist photo [seen at left] showing Obama as a witch doctor is making the rounds with Tea Party activists. We'll bring you the story.

Republicans accuse Speaker Pelosi of inciting racism with her health care comments. We'll talk about it.

Democrats are unhappy with proposed tax in the Baucus health care bill. We'll give you the details.

Ed Schultz Rips the Bigots

Rep. Pelosi said:

    I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco.

    This kind of rhetoric was very frightening" and created a climate in which violence took place.

    I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.

    She said some of the people hearing the message "are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume.

    Our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe.

    But I also think that they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause.

    --Nancy Pelosi, Statement

Mob scenes are now the GOP modus operandi. Paul Krugman asks: "What's behind it?" The answer to that is as clear and present as is the danger to the American republic and every freedom loving American: the leadership of the GOP, the GOP in Congress, the GOP at large:

    Some commentators have tried to play down the mob aspect of these scenes, likening the campaign against health reform to the campaign against Social Security privatization back in 2005. But there’s no comparison. I’ve gone through many news reports from 2005, and while anti-privatization activists were sometimes raucous and rude, I can’t find any examples of congressmen shouted down, congressmen hanged in effigy, congressmen surrounded and followed by taunting crowds.

    And I can’t find any counterpart to the death threats at least one congressman has received.

    So this is something new and ugly. What’s behind it?

    Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, has compared the scenes at health care town halls to the “Brooks Brothers riot” in 2000 — the demonstration that disrupted the vote count in Miami and arguably helped send George W. Bush to the White House. Portrayed at the time as local protesters, many of the rioters were actually G.O.P. staffers flown in from Washington.

    --Paul Krugman, The Town Hall Mob

Like pre-war Nazis, the American GOP exploited the mob mentality most prominently in the so-called 'White Riot' --in fact and by law a treasonous 'coup d'etat' stole the election for George W. Bush. In fairness to the rank and file extremists, however, it is clear that in the year 2000, it was the GOP leadership that bussed to Florida a white-shirted, button-down mob of extremists whose purpose, whose assignment was to disrupt the election process, to stop the vote cound while Bush was still ahead.

Typically, Antonin Scalia would issue the absurdity of the decade: "Count first and rule upon legality afterward is not a recipe for producing election results that have the public acceptance democratic stabilty requires." Just words from an idiot. That 'recipe' is how every election had worked since the investion of Democracy in Ancient Greece. Scalia is a not an intellectual. He is a dumbass who has learned a 'trick'. The American west was peopled with itinerant 'snake oil salesmen' who had learned a few big words and how to impress the local yokels with them.

GOP mob mentality was again in vogue when Sarah 'Wolf Murderer' Palin purposefully appealed to a 'base' which revealed itself to be most responsive to messages of hate and prejudice.

As Sen. Lloyd Bentsen famously told Dan Quayle, 'there you go again'! Certainly, the GOP has resorted to form --exploiting ugly mobs, encouraging them to disrupts legal democratic town hall meetings. I urge that the town hall meetings be defended by arms and armor. Enough is enough. The Democrats have a right to meet and they have a right to defend themselves against felony violence.

The 'tea bagger' movement is the 'enemy withing', the anti-democratic, pro-fascist brownshirts who may have already destroyed the US ideal of a free and democratic republic --something that we have most certainly NOT seen since the rise of Ronald Reagan.

Already losers, a desperate GOP has made a Faustian bargain with bigots. It is significant that the so-called GOP 'leadership' has yet to issue a tepid reproach, let alone a strong worded condemnation of a movement is 1) un-american 2) bigoted 3) made of liars to a person!

Until the GOP leadership steps forward and condemns the 'tea bagger movement', I remain confirmed that the 'tea bagger' movement is encouraged by the highest ranking members of the GOP embittered by the legion of failures chalked up by their party since the inauguration of Ronald Reagan.
