Teabagger vows to "re-educate" Americans
Asked what innovative ideas he might push in office, (Wisconsin Republican Ron) Johnson didn't talk of tax reform or private Social Security accounts, or of anything a conventional senator might do.

Instead, he committed himself to a "re-education of America" and talked about how expectations of government help are spinning wildly out of control, creating “a culture of dependency" that has little appreciation for what it takes for individuals and businesses to thrive.

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2010/10/15/910624/-WI-Sen:-Johnson-wants-to-re-educate-America

"Yeah! Unless you're rich or a corporate entity then the only thing you should expect from the government is it making sure you're not in a loving relationship with a person of the same gender or trying to control what goes on inside your uterus!"

I think I've got my teabagger imitation down pretty well, don't you think?

1. Rush Limbaugh thinks he's 'educating' America, too.
So does Beck.

4. First, let's begin with spelling.
Let us know when you've mastered it and we'll get back to.

21. Of all the races......
....this one is the most important. We CANNOT lose Russ Feingold, especially to a teabagging scum like this. He is far more dangerous than O'Donnell or Pallendino or any of the other more obvious nuts in the media echo chamber.

What makes them think they can show informed Americans anything more than their bigotry and primitive grasp of the obvious?
