Does anyone else think the tea-party crowd is being rude...
by rallying on the 4th of July and September 11th?

I mean isn't that kind of out of line even for protesters?

I might be able to understand the 4th. But I don't get why they would want to make a mockery of such a tragic day like 9/11. It's really quite disgusting.

16. Wingnuts like a little teabagging
on their patriotic holidays. Dip those teabags gently, kidz! :evilgrin:

2. It makes it easy to remember the dates.
Now if they could only remember what they're protesting.

There is a serious group mental illness rampant among this mob.

6. Hypocrits think they own the right to be rude and to break with manners they probably never learned
in the first place, because, afterall they are God's Warriors and

BLASPHEMERS

7. And they're normally so polite!
:P

Seriously, when has the right wing crowd ever not been out of line? They're brains function on only one frequency: Extremism.

9. It just annoys me when they claim to be SO American...
When they don't even bother to give a shit about the date when 3000 Americans died.

I want to run up to them and scream at them for being so fucking hypocritical and dumb.

13. Completely understand. Hey, I live in Arkansas.
Sometimes it feels like the mecca of hateful intolerance.

15. It wasn't just Americans who died on 9/11.
More than 90 countries lost citizens in the attacks on the World Trade Center.<5>

8. "Even for protesters"?
Edited on Sat Jun-13-09 04:26 PM by WorseBeforeBetter
You don't support freedom of assembly?

I'm not surprised at their choice of dates, considering they're proud to refer to themselves as teabaggers.

11. that day was their great 'enabling' moment
and given they celebrate death and destruction, it makes sense to me.

14. There's a freakin ad at the bottom of this thread: Lose weight without dieting
And there's this obese guy on one side and some skin and bones on the other.

Do only fat dudes attend tea parties?
