The Tea Party's hate list
It's a very long list, so perhaps it's easier to just sum it up.

They hate everyone and everything who isn't a white "Christian" American, and who doesn't believe in each and every thing they believe in. Even the slightest deviations from their beliefs are not permitted.

A handful of these cretins are using the House of Representatives to stop anything that may benefit anyone or anything on their hate list.

Try to imagine what this country would be like if these people had even more power than they actually do.

I wonder how long it will be before they start kicking and beating on homeless people sleeping on subway gratings?

1. In a few words -
they hate everybody but themselves.

8. Actually, a case could be made that they hate themselves most of all.
Just sayin' }(

2. Scapegoating is a frightening trend
They blame society's problems on a variety of groups. Races, religions, social classes and now teachers and union workers. We're all getting weary of comparisons to Nazi Germany, so name your own parallel. The French Revolution comes to mind. History seems to have a certain wavelength.

3. As something a colleague at work sent out yesterday about Teabaggers-
if you rearrange the letters in "Tea Party Republicans," and add just a few more letters, it spells: "Shut the fuck up you progress-blocking, benefit-cutting, resource-sucking, gun-toting,radical hypocrites, and deal with the fact that you nearly wrecked the country under Bush and that our president is black, so get over it." That about sums them up for me.

6. One launched on my friend
My friend is a state employee, a class of person considered sub-human by the tea party. A guy made a request for some information from her department and this information was provided, but since he couldn't make himself clear on EXACTLY what he needed he felt he received too much information, AND, they dared to present it in electronic form. His next move was to launch on one of my friend's employees, and when she came to her defense (after the guy got over his disbelief that the "supervisor" could be a female) he launched on her and ended up calling her a bitch and suggesting she must be on her period and talking about how lazy and useless all state employees are and how they would all be fired in private industry where he worked (though he couldn't deal at all with anything on the computer, obviously, and said the printed material was "too much"). He was horribly abusive. His rhetoric was tea party from the very beginning, giving himself away.

This is what the tea party members feel they have the right to do to people who are just doing their jobs. They feel superior to others they target as "not them" and they think they have the right to belittle and abuse them. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they started beating homeless people.
