Ed Anecdote to liberal reverse racism

[Shalamar]

Indeed. For some reason the Tea Party didn't exist before January of 2009, even though there were huge deficits for several years beforehand.

Huge Deficits are Patriotic and American if s True Blooded Conservative does them.

On the left, Deficit spending is caused by America Hating secret Muslims.

 

[Gazpacho]

In 2005 there was one riot against Bush's election, at the inauguration, by college kids rather than negroes, which didn't break out and didn't burn anything.

Sooo... still waiting.

... who cheered George W. "Borrow and Spend" Bush every single step of the way, but turned into deficit hawks the second that dark-skinned guy was elected.

Some naive future Tea Partiers voted for The Anointed One in rebellion against profligate spending of Bush administration, believing in the blank slate of "Hope and Change" only to find to their dismay that the smooth talking community organizer would betray them with Trillions of even more debt.

 

[Travis]

The Tea Party is nothing but a loose, voluntary coalition of patriotic Americans who are horrified at government spending and debt.

Did anyone ever try to educate these people so that they would know that their fears are unfounded?

I mean when I find someone that is "horrified" at something harmless I feel a need to educate them on the matter.

So he was just supposed to let the economy totally tank and all the banks and companies to completely go under?

Don't bother, they like being "Horrified." it gives them an excuse to justify their hatred.

 

[A Laughing Baby]

I mean, seriously, how can you say this:

If a white Republican wins the Whitehouse, there is bound to be claims of racism and a rigged election. And the Left may well incite riots the burning of cities.

And then follow in the very next sentence with this:

Now, even Morgan Freeman claims the "Tea Party" is racist (with zero evidence).

And not have a moment of reflection?

 

[PGH]

He's just basing his statement off the well substantiated history of progressives rioting and burning cities when white presidents are elected. C'mon guys...

Well, I have to admit, the zero times that it happened so far, it was absolutely ghastly... entire cities burned to the ground, streets running red with blood...

 

[A Laughing Baby]

Well clearly, if the tax rate is raised, even pets will rise up and realize what a socialist hellhole this world has become. The day of reckoning will be upon us as the Dog Army marches ruthlessly toward Washington. Screams of God-fearing capitalist babies will be cut short as the teeth of the Dog Battalion find their throats. Pets, companions, all reduced now to snarling drones of the Dog Emperor. All thanks to Obama. None of this is in dispute. It is not only a possibility, but likely. You have a choice, America. Keep taxes at the lowest point they've been in years, or face the endless mangle of claws and teeth, blood and godless bone of the Dog Army.

And yet, Morgan Freeman says the Tea Party is racist? With no evidence, mind you. What an idiot, right?

You are presuming a level of self awarenes that is not in evidence.

All hail Mr. Puddles, our new canine overlord.

You know I was being sarcastic, right Chaos? I've been trying not to use sarcasm online but I thought this time I laid it on thick enough...

 

[A Laughing Baby]

There is nothing sarcastic, nothing amusing about the waves and waves of the Dog Fleet, led by Rear Admiral Shnookums.

Cuz it's only a problem when the other side does it, obviously.

Calm down. I noticed it. I hope you noticed I was being sarcastic as well.

If you apply this quote on a broad scale without context, it perfectly sums up every debate in modern American politics for, like, the past 50 years.

Well, talk is cheap. Enlighten me.

Uh, 2000? 2004? Short memory, eh?

What are you babbling about?

My memory's reliable enough that I wasn't surprised by the results that came up when I searched for [2000 election riot].

Obviously, Grizzly typo'ed a bit. I'm sure what he meant to say was "Uh, 1874? Short memory, eh?"

Yes, those were bigoted conservative Democrats rioting in response to an election. Man, you people have conveniently short memories. That was only 136 years ago!

In 2005 there was one riot against Bush's election, at the inauguration, by college kids rather than negroes, which didn't break out and didn't burn anything.

Sooo... still waiting.

He is clearly referring to the Brooks Brothers riot^WP. I'm sure Grizzly was appalled at this mob of thugs and the subsequent circumvention of states rights.
