A Tea Party group objects to to the way a private property owner is using it, and they want

the help of the government to stop him.

From 'Southern Beale':
<snip>
Nashville car dealer Lee Beaman has donated land he owns out by Hickory Hollow Mall to serve as a temporary “Tent City” for the homeless. It replaces the one down by the river that got washed away in the flood.

Lee Beaman is someone I’ve picked on a lot here, so this is probably the only time you will ever see me write something nice about him, but props to Beaman for at least giving the homeless a place to live.

But Beaman’s action, while temporary, has sparked the usual NIMBYism, including this:
"But all is not well in Hickory Hollow. As word leaked out early Wednesday that a new Tent City had emerged near the Target on Bell Road, some neighbors took to mass emails with their complaints. A tea party-affiliated group appeared ready to mobilize against the landowner who donated the plot (no word as of press time on the lasting effects of the cognitive dissonance in self-proclaimed libertarians telling a private landowner what to do with his property). Worries of increased crime and concerns about safety swirled."

That’s so priceless. A Tea Party-affiliated group going after Lee Beaman, the Tennessee GOP's big moneybags? Oh, my.

So just to recap: a Tea Party group objects to what a private property owner is doing on his own property and they are calling on the help of the government? Wait a minute. I thought you people hated the government? I thought you wanted the government off the backs of private property owners?

1. Oh, it's all a matter of degree...

Teabaggers hate the government, but they hate homeless people more than they hate the government, and they hate brown homeless people more than they hate homeless people, and they hate atheists more than they hate brown homeless people, and they hate GLBT people more than anyone.

Teabaggers are a multi-group hate machine. They hate you, too, by the way.

2. yeah that's pretty accurate

Not every tea-partier is motivated by exactly the same mixture of hatreds - but in the aggregate that sums it up.

4. I never doubted for a minute that they hated me.

There have been people in SC for years who were never labelled 'Teaspitters,' but in essence they were. Some of them are my relatives. I have never been a favorite.

3. yes the hypocrisy is strong

5. The Tea Party movement is an incoherent collection of people and ideas

connected only by anger and hate.

6. All the Teabaggers want is what's theirs

and whatever is touching it.

7. I am so shocked....these religious, Christian tea bags

are complaining about a person showing compassion for the homeless. Gee what are Christians coming to?

8. I guess the homeless must all be communistic, fascistic "socilists"

Now the teabaggers want to take their country back from the homeless? I wonder who is NOT on their enemies list....
