Joe B. in response to the Is Someone You Know Part of an Angry Mob? post from yesterday:
Notice the tea-bagger mobs are all older, even elderly, white folks who’ve been given pitchforks and torches by major corporations and told to rabble rouse against the “evil black president”. They couldn’t care less about heath care, in fact many of them love their government funded Medicare! It’s about racism, plain and simple. Showing a tea-bagger a black president is like showing fire to Frankenstein’s Monster.
This is the rump of the Republithug Party. This is what’s left of the aging, white, racist American culture of the Old South and rural America. As they die off they will be relegated to the trash can of history and tolerant America will progress forward happily without them.
Why can’t you all be more like him? He sounds so smart and happy! I’m just glad he deigned my site with a visit.
He dresses too well. He’s obviously a plant. Maybe a petunia. Or a pansy.
He doesn’t know what he is talking about….Medicare is NOT free. Each person who is eligible for Medicare is charged $96.00 per month for the privilege. Don’t worry about missing a payment because the government automatically takes the money out of your social security payment. So much for “free” Medicare.
Yo, Joe! Presumably, you’d prefer we were more tolerant and progressive like the SEIU goons that beat up the black guy in St. Louis yesterday.
If that’s what passes for “tolerance”, I’d rather be labeled a racist.
Hey! Fun with party names! I love this game. I’ll start:
Dumbocrat
Dhimmicrat
Donkeycrat
Marxocrat
Surrendacrat
Weasel
“…tolerant America will progress forward happily without them.” As they merrily follow http//manyfacesofbarack.com/2009/03/23/pied-piper-obama/ into the abyss.
What is so hard to understand? If you disagree with the government’s policies, you are allowed to exercise your 1st Amendment rights in a “free speech zone”: a chain link cage three blocks away from the public hearing.
That’s what I learned under the Bush regime. Why don’t conservatives want to play by the same rules?
If I was a racist I’d have another reason to oppose Obama-
besides his arrogance, socialism, fecklessness, and prodigal spending.
“Showing a tea-bagger a black president is like showing fire to Frankenstein’s Monster.”
WOW, Joe B. has a way with a simile doesn’t he?
He’s like a guy who,
is really good with making metaphors and similes.
Joe B. lives in “Tolerant America” among those happy people who relegate whites and Southerners to History’s trash can, after beating them up at town hall meetings.
Memo to Joe (hopefully you are still out there):
I can understand why you are so angry. After all, Obama’s approval ratings are dropping steadily week by week, Obama’s “stimulus” bill has not accomplished anything other than giving us the highest deficit in American history, unemployment is higher than even the worst projections from six months ago, Obama’s big energy bill is stuck in the Senate and probably dead, Obama’s big health bill has freaked out so many people so much that a CNN poll (CNN!!!) gives him an “F” in every state in the union, and even RINOs like Peggy Noonan are feeling “terrorized” by Obama’s heavy handed tactics.
Yup. I’d be worried if I were you. But, don’t get angry. Toss down a couple beers and watch this.
And notice please, nothing I said was racist.
ME, pick Me, I want to be a part of the vicious, angry, mob.
Here’s the thing though, after this life when we’re all standing at the bar (and I mean judgement not the other kind with chips and drinks) I wonder whether ACORN, Code Pink, Peta, Greenpeace, Moveon.org et al will be disrupting things? I mean since they mostly don’t believe in anything but their own existence and superiority will they heckle God and isn’t that idea deliciously entertaining.
I wonder if it will mean a new definition to the word SMITE?
Just sayin’
hmmm. Joe B.? Makes me wonder if the B could stand for Biden. Can you check if the comment was sent from the Naval Observatory?
This post is a logical fallacy (Poisoning the Well, but let’s be fair, there is the classical way to look at it and the liberal way to look at it. Observe:
Classical:
1) Person A is accused of being/doing unfavorable things (the accusation can be true or not)
2) Therefore, any arguments/claims/beliefs made by Person A are inherently false due to previous accusation
Example:
Senior Citizen: “I’m not sure I agree with every component of the health care bill.”
Nancy-Boy: “Well then that means you’re a racist, thus any objection you have is automatically invalid.”
Why this is a fallacy:
Simple – even if someone is a racist, it doesn’t discredit the arguments one brings forth. If a black history teacher is debating a white student on if Custard died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and the teacher says, “Look you stupid little white boy, he died. This is why white people should be rounded up and put away!”, the teacher’s blatant racism, though abhorrent, has no bearing on the facts of his claim; Custard certainly did die at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, regardless of the teacher’s racism.
Likewise, in the health care debate, the main voices of the opposition might be racist, might be old, and might just hate that we have a black president; but they’re putting for substantial claims (substantial in that they have substance behind them) that may or may not be true, regardless of their claims.
Now for the liberal view of this fallacy:
Liberal
1) Perzon A (man or womyn) iz Obama hater and rasist!
2) Teh bad
Example
Racist whacko: “All your town hall are belong to us!”
Nancy Pelos: “I lawlz u! Rasist!”
Why this is a fallacy
Iz nt fallacy! Only fallacy whn republithugs attak teh commucrats! LOL!!!11!1!!!
I hope that this sums it up.
Umm. All Republicans are racist and hate black people. He does know the Republicans are run by a black man, with an awsome sence of humor?

Now, I have to explain first that I’m a Buddhist and our cosmology is way different from that of Christians; that said, suppose there is some sort of afterlife after all, and suppose this dude meets George Washington, T. Jefferson, et al. there. I can imagine them saying stuff to this ‘dissenting patriot’ like, “We guaranteed your freedom of speech, of association, of thought: everything, and the best you can come up with is ‘Republithug’?” Also, “By the way, just what is your issue with using tea as a protest symbol, again?”
Anyway, my vote for Republithug of the week is Rep. Michele Bachmann (don’t know if links are allowed here, but if so:
http://motorcitytimes.com/mct/michele-bachmann-reading-the-words-of-ezekiel-emanuel/ )
That puts the problems older people have with this health care plan pretty much into context. Frankly (no pun intended), I’m surprised they’re *not* at the pitchfork stage just yet. Probably because this is America, and people who disagree with the President and some Congresscritters/leadership are still and will always be allowed to express themselves freely, without fear of reprisals. America, even whatever part Joe B. came from, is way cool.
I can’t comment! All I can do is sit and marvel at his brilliance and then apologize to Frank J. that as a regular at his site, that I am not at Joe B’s level (hang’s head and kicks nearest animal or small child)! All I can do is try to become better but I know that you and Joe B probably don’t want to hear from us rubes so…
Comon’ comet!
No one else seems to want to say it so I will—- If THE OBAMA were white , had all the same policies, and all the same socialist ideas— He would have never been elected. The left voted for a black man –not any ideas or policies . I was recently in a civilized argument with a liberal douche bag. He said to me “We should all be proud that this country voted a black man into office”. I told him that statement proved he is the racist. Skin color should mean nothing , but the libs wont let go of the race card.
I got my pitchfork from GM and the handle broke the first day!
I thought Boxer said it was Brooks Brothers suit types. No self-respecting Southern redneck would be caught dead in one, particularly after Obama wore one at his inauguration.
No, the problem is the gray hair. Anybody old enough to have it remembers when we used to have a constitution.
I’m starting to think that people who call the tea party protesters “Tea-Baggers” just want us to drop our testicles in their mouths
I live in Indiana so the vast majority of people I know are part of an angry mob.

#18 Eric: To conservatives a “Teabagger” is someone who drinks a lot of tea. The liberals have a different definition!
liberals are like a cancer.
Eric…very homophobic!!! Very excellent funny too!!! Some people just can’t get enough of that fresh balls taste in the morning…
SMITE? Smote. Geschmoted.
Oh, and #9, after the bar, I’ll see you at the bar. The other bar. 😉
little bitches that post stuff like this Joe B. joker are why I picture intolerant, un-american, commie pinko retard liberals in a blender. You can’t fix stupid and liberals are just plain stupid.
Wouldn’t heaven be a lot cooler if it was actually a drinking bar. Not a lame college bar, but a rowdy biker bar with lots of free beer, red meat, and tons of fighting. Oh and there would be busty wrenches, tons of busty wrenches. And after people were killed in battle, they would come back to life so they could fight again.
That heaven would be awesome. I wonder why no religion ever had a heaven like that?
Someone hasn’t gotten his free unicorn yet.
In the long run we all pay for ‘free’ unicorns.
He’s so right. Old people don’t care at all about healthcare…this despite the fact that you can’t have a conversation with one that doesn’t include all their current health problems, including intricate details regarding their last bowel movement.
Nope, obviously plants with no dog in the hunt.
#24 You know I don’t go to bars. Pubs maybe but since I don’t think fire water is going to be necessary in heaven maybe we should meet someplace interesting. I’m thinking Alpha Centari or mayhaps in the bowl of the Big Dipper.
Wouldn’t that be just too cool.
I thought we were all going to have a IMAO class reunion at Fiddlers Green, then we could sail over to Valhalla to watch Frankj and Marvin try out for positions on the varsity fightin’/drinkin’/and wenchin’ team.
(Until Sarahk rides in with a squad of Valkiries and tells Frankj, “Don’t give Me that ’till death do us part’ BS!)
I’ll be ridin’ with Miss Sarah. We rightwing, angry, vicious, nazi, racist, subjugated members of the vast conspiracy need to stick together. I really want our theme song to be Wagners RIde of the Valkyries.
Well, Celtic angel, you never know what exotic drinks there are up there ! A fellow student once asked our teacher (a Catholic nun): “Sister, will there be milkshakes in heaven?” “Of course there will be. And everything else you can think of.” 😉
