Teabaggers Expose Once Again Of Their Racial / Hateful Based Ideologies
The truth just constantly keeps coming out doesn’t it. The Teabaggers cannot help but expose themselves for what they really are. Bigoted Racists who resorted to racial slurs that were yelled at some black lawmakers and even spitting on some lawmakers by the Teabaggers protesting Health Care Reform as the lawmakers headed for a procedural vote at Capitol Hill Saturday.
Any stable, sane, and self respecting Republican would denounce this Right Wing Extremist Teabagger group. They are nothing more than John Birchers, Neo-Nazis, and Klan members posing as God Fearing Christian Republicans under the guise of protecting American Citizens’ rights. Now good “O’l Uncle Tom” Steel rejected the notion that the racial slurs and spitting incidents may make any association with the Tea Party Movement a danger. To reiterate, Republican Chairman Steel still supports the Teabaggers and keeps them welcome within the Republican Party.
The incident occurred Saturday after thousands of Tea Partiers descended upon Capitol Hill to rally against Sunday's major vote on Health Care Reform.
Some of the protesters targeted a handful of black members of Congress and one gay lawmaker as they walked from the House office buildings to the Capitol to make a procedural vote.
Reps. John Lewis, D-Ga, and Andre Carson, D-Ind., both members of the Congressional Black Caucus, said that a group of protesters hollered at them and called them the N-word.
Kristie Greco, spokeswoman for Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn, said a protester spit on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver who is black and said police escorted the lawmakers into the Capitol. Clyburn, who led fellow black students in integrating South Carolina's public facilities a half century ago, called the behavior "absolutely shocking."
"I heard people saying things today that I have not heard since March 15, 1960, when I was marching to try to get off the back of the bus," Clyburn told reporters.
Lewis was one of the most pivotal figures of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. He spoke alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King at the Lincoln Memorial during the "I Have a Dream" speech. And Alabama State Police fractured the congressman's skull as he led a march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on what became known as "Bloody Sunday" in 1965.
First elected in 1970, Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., is one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus. "You don't see any black folks in these groups," said Rangel. "Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever." Rangel suggested that some of the protesters knew Lewis' story and deliberately went after him.
Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., said nothing would surprise him from some of the bands of health care protesters. "I have never heard anyone campaign for their freedom to be uninsured. I've never heard anyone campaign against Medicare," said Scott. "That's what you're dealing with."
But black lawmakers weren't the only targets of the protesters' invective. Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., related that some of the demonstrators also castigated Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who is gay. "I don't even want to repeat it," said Crowley when asked what they said to Frank.
I want to conclude this posting by saying that as a self respecting member of the Republican Party, I am totally outraged and ashamed that my once Grand Old Party that I have been an active member of for 35 plus years has sunk to this low of a level. I put all of this blame on the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Glen Beck, Bill O’Rielly, Shawn Hannity, Michael Savage, and the likes of this group in general. The shame and black spot on my Republican Party during this period in time will be looked back as unforgivable.
I resigned from the Republican Party 2 years ago, after a life time of voting Republican. I'm now an Independent. I voted for Obama, the first Democratice vote for president I ever cast.
ReplyDeleteI could no longer reconcile their hate, prejudice, religious ignorance, suppression of scientific advancement, and all the other baggage that comes with a religiously controlled Party of God.
I should have recognised it earlier, but being a rabid pro-gun advocate and fat cat executive who didn't much care about anyone else but himself, I over looked what the GOP had become. It's no longer the party of Lincoln, if it ever was.
I recently got another letter from them asking for money and wondering why if I had left the party. I wrote on it that THEY left me, with their obstructionism, war mongering, and religious fanticism. Then I put it all back in the pre-paid return envelope and mailed it back to them.
I've done that numerous times. They don't get it.
Hump my friend, you have said everything I too have been thinking of. I am about ready to discontinue my Republican party because it was THEY who left me with their religious nuttyism, prejudice hate, and most of all The Suppression of Scientific Advancement. This is where I really come from as you well know from my post writtings.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I stay and put in my 2 cents worth is because.....IT PISSES OFF ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE!!!!!
I was here first, it is them who have to leave and I intend to be the BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS pointing out their stupidity.
Thank you for your comments as they are spot on from my viewpoint my friend. Good Job!!
Any stable, sane, and self respecting Republican would denounce this Right Wing Extremist Teabagger group.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Engineer, nearly all of these 'stable, sane and self respecting' Republicans have been summarily purged from your once Grand Old Party.
I do have a great deal of respect for you, personally, for sticking in there and working hard to rescue your party back from these thugs who kidnapped it.
