1. What did Breitbart say about Keith, that he was disturbed?

I'll take Keith's brand of "disturbed" over Breitbart's brand of "well-balanced" any day of the week.

[quiet.american]

2. Excellent. Thank you, Keith. nt

[vaberella]

3. He said something I've always argued. Why do teabaggers quote & want to go back to the forefathers?

It was the forefathers who would be raping me and insuring that me, my family and children were nothing but property to which they could do whatever they wanted. To which I was nothing of value or even of consequence. That in and of itself confirmed to me they were racist and it disgusts me when people on DU support these buffoons.

[ScottLand]

5. Amen to that. I have the same sentiment.

They always tout the "vision of the forefathers". How would those forefathers react to women and people of colour voting? I wish they could all be transported back for a single day. Might not feel the same after that.

[tsstranger]

7. Way back when.

Back in the time of the founders, only white, rich, land owning males could vote. That's what the 'Baggers want?

[ScottLand]

10. Apparently. Before they start wishing us back to a

"better time", they should think about what they'd lose by doing so. The reality is that our lives today are not much like those of the people at that time. I don't believe they could handle the difference.

[vaberella]

13. Which is funny because majority of them aren't rich. But 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I guess. n/t

[vaberella]

14. You're assuming that they aren't just racist.

I think they actually might like it a bit. Okay until they realize they'd be aligned with the indigent whites at the time. ^_^

[ScottLand]

15. On the contrary. I think they're very racist.

Just my opinion, but I'm sure they wouldn't want you to hear what they're saying in private.

[vaberella]

16. Understood.

I think I was just confused by what your were saying then. I just don't know what would trigger them to change their minds. I know that for me it's the whole no plumbing thing and functional sewage system that would kill me. :D

[Number23]

4. Rec'd. That was absolutely phenomenal.

[Karenina]

17. He went THERE!

:rofl:

[tsstranger]

6. Great comment, KO.

KO is right. Have you seen any black faces at the teabagger events? Latino? Asian?

How about gays? Non-Christians?

This is a very racist movement, this teabagger movement.

[JBoy]

8. K&R! Spot on.

[Spazito]

9. Excellent commentary!

Mr. Olbermann nails it.

Recommended.

11. Speaking of all white, anybody take a look at MSNBC's entire daily lineup? LOL. And does that mean

La Raza and the NAACP are racist too? After all, their made up of people that all look the same. Just using Keith's ridiculous logic.

[AlbertCat]

12. Just using Keith's ridiculous logic.

Um...Keith's logic is quite sound.

Your comparison of apples and oranges on the other hand....


The Teabaggers are the same as the NAACP? Oooooooh Kay..... :eyes:

[PSzymeczek]

20. There are lots of people of all races

in the NAACP.

[NOLALady]

21. But, there are white people in the NAACP.

A white woman was President of the Covington, LA. NAACP.

Also, white people were co founders of the NAACP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_for_the_Advancement_of_Colored_People

18. Love the pic of Bill-O with the telepromter, too!

Nice jab! :rofl:

[firedupdem]

19. Excellent n/t
