Teabagging Hatriots = UN-American Patriots (Update)

UPDATE: As you all know by now, Palin’s “speech” was broadcast on C-span and MSNBC last night…initially they had announced that it was going to be a Press blackout. So my reference below is outdated, but it is a common desire by Palin and her “handlers” (ewww) to always strive for private closed door gatherings…she is just that special!

Speaking of hands…that is where her speech was literally written! LOL And they all berate Obama for his teleprompters???

Hatriotism is alive and well in Tennessee! The Teabag Nation is packing heat and the racism and vitriol is cold blooded…I can’t help wondering if the “musak” playing in the background at this gathering is variations on banjo music. They are kinda pushing for a deliverance message, actually.

White Racial Resentment Bubbles Under the Surface of the Tea Party Movement

By Rich Benjamin, AlterNet

Posted on February 5, 2010

And they think this is appropriate!

Editor’s Note: Rich Benjamin’s commentary on the underlying “white grievance” currents in the Tea Party movement were buttressed Thursday by the statements of Republican Tom Tancredo, the opening speaker at the Tea Party convention. Tancredo told attendees that President Barack Obama was elected because “we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country,” an allusion to how Southern states used literacy tests as part of an effort to deny suffrage to African American voters before the civil rights era.

The depth of ignorance is bottomless! In his racist remarks he so lacks clarity as to who his followers are that he misses the mark by a mile. These people truly don’t get that had there been a civics test…it’s not the African American population that would have been denied the right to but rather the Teabagging Hatriots…his very own supporters! What an ass! The article goes on to say…

[...] The simmering movement is the whitest phenomenon on the national scene, evident not just in the millions of Caucasians committed to its cause, but in the bedrock beliefs stirring its anti-government contempt.

How fitting, therefore, that Sarah Palin keynote the movement’s first organized confab. Neglected in all the fevered conversation around the movement’s meteoric rise, and Palin’s selection, is any useful reflection on what the cause and this figurehead stand for: white racial resentment. Packed beneath her beehive is a spitfire brew of optimistic, yet aggrieved, whiteness. Palin embodies a bizarre, sometimes alluring, combination of triumph and complaint that many Caucasian Tea Partiers identify with through and through.

It's ALL about the "Almighty" dollar

Okay…time out. So wrapped up in all this one race, bible-belt battle cry there is the ongoing rhetoric about money, conservative budgeting, responsible spending,  and so forth. So I just want to get this correct. To attend this Hate-Fest filled with angry white people, you are looking to lay out a whopping $549.00+9.95 fee, of which $349.00 of that is solely to get you in to hear the word salad Queen give her speech.

These people are having far fewer problems than the rest of us “true Americans” to afford that kind of expenditure! Her speaking fee is $100,000 and she has these sheeple convinced that she is just one of them…a simple homespun gal from the backwoods that don’t know nuthin’ and is proud of it. And in all her proclaimed passion for her fellow extremists of every ilk…it would just simply be beneath her to speak to them for nuthin’….

[...]Palin voices the right-wing drumbeat warning Americans that “government is on your back” and “you should keep your own money.” Alongside other avid Tea Party supporters like Tom Tancredo and Glenn Beck, Palin gins-up conservative whites’ existing resentment over race, carping over the “high taxes” for public services assumed to be wasted on “illegals” and minorities.[...]

These are “Palin-folk”…plain and oh so simple. But I have to say…Palin walks her talk! When she says she takes a stand against taxes, by god she means it! I can hear her saying….“Cabins? What cabins? Hey, if they didn’t catch I’m not tellin’. I’m a ‘rell’ American, and us patriots are above taxes…oh, and the law.”

Pesky Reality

Denouncing government assistance and free school lunches at a town hall meeting in late January, South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer, a Tea Party supporter, said: “My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that.”

Really? She wasn’t highly educated? NO! And yet someone provided ample food supply enough that she reproduced and isn’t the world lucky to have loving Christian Americians like Andre Bauer! Does this make you as sick to your stomach as it does me? His comments were about Haitian refugee assistance and free school lunches! And this inbred politician suggests that starving the needy is a genocidal answer. What in God’s name is going on?

And the capper? Queen Esther of the High Order of the Common Teabaggers has of course, demanded that her nonsense is closed to the Press. You know all that talk Palin spews forth about “change” and “beltway transparency”? Hmmm…do you suppose this is what she means?

I guess when you are colluding with armed wingnuts to plot an insurrection of the very country that you profess such undying love for…it really is best to do these things behind closed doors.
