I think those racist tea baggers shouting epithets today did a world of good

[CatWoman]

for moderates, independents and progressives.

Such behavior makes reasonable people want to get as far away from that filth as possible.

That applies as well to congressional Republicans who try to defend them. And you know they will. It's their "base".

Those same Republicans who want to coddle bankers.

Just keep doing what you're doing, Fellas. It's all good.

The mask has been completely lifted off. Everyone knows who and what you are. And they don't like it.

1. I was thinking that myself...

But, it is the threat of violence that has me tremendously concerned. It only takes one of these nuts to "go off."

[Lilyeye]

2. I agree with you fully. They need and should be exposed.

However, I think some will still be blind to it. I saw one poster here on DU say it was probally staged to make them look bad. :eyes:

[kestrel91316]

32. Then why didn't the people around them call them out and shout them down?

That's what Dems would do if some fool started spouting nonsense that made everybody else look bad....

[Lilyeye]

43. Exactly. One report said the people laughed when Frank was called a faggot.

Staged my fucking ass.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. I agree completely

They spit on Cong Cleaver. Disgusting piece of garbage racist teabaggers.

[opihimoimoi]

4. Brown Shirts covered with white sheets/cammys.....Evil Pig Pubs who wish to OWN ALL OF US

via control...

WASPy as they come....they self destruct with outdated crap....

GOP is the new dinosaur of Am Politics...

[xultar]

5. Exactly, the same goes for batshit crazy bachmann. People will have to decide

if they want to vote for people who behave like that.

if those tea party candidates start winning then we can see how racist america is...

if those tea party candidates start losing then independents and moderates have decided that they don't want to be associated with such people...

only time will tell.

[Shandris]

6. I've been watching Traffic tonight, did anyone in the media actually show the shots of this?

I hope so. The amount of positive coverage these imbeciles get is enough to make me start drinking again.

[mrcheerful]

7. Sadly it doesn't do much to change folks minds, our side already knew what tea baggers were

and the right wing has already made up their talking point on the matter, it was just some skin head's that "showed" up behind this behavior.

[CatWoman]

14. Of course we already knew

but they were being covered for via the press and those jerks in Congress.

However, today's events was a real game changer.

On video, too!!

[Swamp Rat]

8. More proof that they ARE the Ku Klux Klan, wrapped up in a new, made for TV package

[HughMoran]

10. I didn't want to say this out loud

...but I'm glad you did.

[CatWoman]

11. you know we have that mind meld thing going

:)

[bobbolink]

12. Hold on to your hat--I agree totally.

It shows that our claim that racism is gone is bogus.

It shows that we have much work yet to do.

It took our denial out and displayed it for all to see.

NOW, are we up to the challenge of actually DEALING with it this time?

[highplainsdem]

13. I agree. K&R.

[RKP5637]

16. They are our best weapon against them!!! n/t

[Cha]

19. Ignorance is always one's own

worst enemy.

[RKP5637]

21. Yep, very well said!!! n/t

[Cha]

17. That's exactly been my thoughts on

this vicious display of bigotry today.

It was always there for anyone to see but today instead of confining it to their ignorant signs.. a Congressman was spat upon and others were slurred with racial and sexual epitaphs.

The teabaggers' insanity was in full throttle and I read the corporatemedia isn't showing that much of it..I hope that isn't so.

[CatWoman]

20. patience, Grasshopper

The teabaggers' insanity was in full throttle and I read the corporatemedia isn't showing that much of it..I hope that isn't so.

Keith, Dylan, Rachel, Tweety, David et al will be all over it.

:)

oh yeah, let's not forget the blogosphere

:)

[Cha]

26. Yeah, our troops! The corporatemedia is

covering for their own..they know the Indies, etc would not condone the viciousness.

:)

[Cha]

29. The blogosphere..

[eleny]

22. They jumped a shark with that business

[CatWoman]

24. great analogy!!

:hi:

[MindandSoul]

23. Yes! Between what happened today and what happened to the man with Parkinson. . .!

It leaves no doubt of the level of intelligence, morale, and fairness of those people!

[CatWoman]

25. not "level"

"absence"

:)

31. hi baby

:hi:

[Common Sense Party]

33. The video of this should be widely distributed, linked, go viral.

I'd like to send it to some teabaggy friends.

Who has the link?

[CatWoman]

34. there's probably some in the DU video forum.....

[Common Sense Party]

35. Not yet.

So far, the only one there has no spitting and no epithets.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

39. Unless there is a better video than the one I saw they won't be impressed.

[Common Sense Party]

41. I agree. There aren't any epithets to be heard in the video I saw

and no visual of spitting, either.

There must be video evidence of this somewhere. In this day and age, EVERYTHING that happens in public is recorded (and quickly posted to YouTube).

[Takket]

36. truth comes out

well it is on the front page of cnn.com now! The world is going to know that the teabaggers only motivation is hate, and the reason why they don't want this bill to pass is because they can't stand the idea of government doing anything for anyone other than the baggers themselves

[prolesunited]

37. Not that I doubt this happened, but is there video.

Turns it into a real "macaca" moment.

[Common Sense Party]

42. Not yet.

There are videos of baggers yelling "Kill the Bill!" as the Congressmen walk by. But so far no spitting, no slurs.

I can't believe no one has posted the actual incident yet.

[TexasObserver]

38. Recommend. Nothing labels them like the words outta their mouths.

[name not needed]

40. That mask has been off for some time now

And we all know what happens when the far right doesn't get their way.

[Hekate]

44. Right you are, CatWoman. Let them be seen for what they are.
