So my cousin in the UK wanted to know what teabaggers look like, so I sent her this picture

She was curious about the debt ceiling fiasco. I told her that these are the bigots that want to take down the entire world economy because there is an African American in the White House.

This is what your average teabagging piece of shit looks like:

Most of the Confederates were the descendants of Scots Irish, and the Klan part of Ku Klux Klan was based on Scottish clans....

15. Europe is still awash in casual and institutionalized racism

The most anti-semetic place in Europe is Paris, not Berlin

They never had a proper Civil Rights Movement, and as a result, there is much more antagonism between immigrants and Europeans than there is between immigrants and Americans

The head scarf ban is just one example

Yes, I don't like religion any more than the next atheist, but anytime a government tries to restrict or legislate what one wears on their head, they are practicing tyranny

You can bludgeon them with argument and fact yet they blissfully goose step forward in their ignorance. Bush made dumb a badge of honour!

He's more the younger KKK element than the core tea party.

What's up with the flag poles?

Stick a rebel hat on his head, and set him down at Fredericksburg in 1862. He'd fit right in.
