The 12 Most Offensive Signs From Bachmann's Tea Party
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/05/the-12-most-offensive-sig_n_347398.html

Michele Bachmann held a rally on Capitol Hill Thursday to try and "scare" lawmakers into voting against health care reform. Will it work? Probably not, but at least she got all these interesting signs out of it.

Vote for the worst:

5. What the hell is wrong with those people?
What went wrong in their lives that made them so vitriolic? It's repulsive.

9. They've been shafted
just like the rest of us but these are the people who are so fucking stupid they need to listen to Pox News spoonfeed them all the lies about who to be angry at.

Stupid people will always very obligingly hate whoever they've been told to hate. Don't tell them to think anything through because they're too stupid to do that and too stupid to know just how stupid they really are.

7. Teabaggers are now exempt from Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security

Can we wright that into the bill, too?

It seems those on the other side of the aisle would embrace it.

What do you think?

and only looked at a few more before I left the page. Today, Andrea Mitchell, beast that she is, asked a repub lawmaker if it was a good thing that these people brought these signs. She asked if that was the message that the tea party wanted to convey.

He avoided the question.

10. I think the truck with the heaven/hell sign has made the rounds...
Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 09:29 PM by CBHagman
...in D.C. There was something similar parked on Rhode Island Avenue NW a few weeks back -- a truck plastered with signs depictingt Terri Schiavo, an elderly woman in the coffin, aborted fetuses, etc.

The reference to Nancy Pelosi having to choose between heaven and hell, and the suggestion that money leads to hell, is highly ironic because of course the U.S. right wing is brought to us by the monied interests and a rabid adoration of capitalism to the exclusion of all else. If the the person who put together that truck had actually read the Gospels he/she would know that Jesus did a lot of healing, never asked about preexisting conditions, and of course said you cannot serve God and Mammon. Rupert Murdoch, Dick Armey, the insurance companies, et al are, well, just a tad in the Mammon camp...

11. Incredible. The worst humanity has to offer.
These are the people who WOULD operate the Zyklon-B controls at Dachau.

13. I don't know what amazes me more . . .
. . . the fact that the media can't see or doesn't really CARE that these people are BATSHIT FUCKING LUNATICS without a modicum of intelligence or ability to connect dots or that there's an incredulous lot of people possessing such a selective memory.
