Is that a confederate flag I see? A shameful symbol of slavery and segregation, the confederate battle flag has been appropriated by the Ku Klux Klan and other racist hate groups.

Teaparty crackers remain incensed that our country has twice elected an African American to the highest office of the land.

Return To Sender. Watch As Hundreds Return Barrycards to Spite House





Take these Barrycades and stick 'em where the sun don't shine, Barry!

Pay attention to the little African American lady cop. She lunges at them several times with her baton.

She may be a female but she sure ain't no lady...

one of the most amusing things i've noticed over the past week or so is that the t-hadists and GOP lackeys have been expending considerable effort highlighting that the national parks and other govt services and agencies are closed due to the shutdown.
and yes, the average voter does get upset that these things are shut down....but the average voter is not blaming it on the president.....he/she is putting the blame on republicans...where it belongs.

so, keep digging your own graves suckers!

^Failing the legislative strength to get Obamacare defunded through legitimate processes they hold a gun to head of America and then have the audacity to blame the results of the very tactics they employed on the White House and senate. As the party slides inexorably to the extreme right the public abandons them en masse.
Losers.

Every vet knows that it doesn’t matter what political party a president is from, they are still the Commander in Chief. The organizers of this event may or may not be conservatives, but it is clear that they didn’t want the tea party mob, or Palin and Cruz’s grandstanding at their event.

The want to bring back the Confederacy to make sure that doesn't happen again.

who's shutdown again?



During a floor speech on Saturday, drew attention to the quietly passed rule when he attempted to present a motion to accept the Senate's clean continuing resolution and reopen the government.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), presiding over the chamber, told Van Hollen that the rule he was asking to use had been "altered" and he did not have the privilege of bringing that vote to the floor. In the ensuing back and forth, Chaffetz said the recently passed House Resolution 368 trumped the standing rules. Where any member of the House previously could have brought the clean resolution to the floor under House Rule 22, House Resolution 368 -- passed on the eve of the shutdown -- gave that right exclusively to the House majority leader, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia.
"The Rules Committee, under the rules of the House, changed the standing rules of the House to take away the right of any member to move to vote to open the government, and gave that right exclusively to the Republican Leader," said Van Hollen. "Is that right?"

"The House adopted that resolution," replied Chaffetz.
"I make my motion, Mr. Speaker," said Van Hollen. "I renew my motion that under the regular standing rules of the House... that the house take up the Senate amendments and open the government now."
"Under section 2 of H.R. 368, that motion may be offered only by the majority leader or his designee," Chaffetz said.
"Mr. Speaker, why were the rules rigged to keep the government shut down?" Van Hollen asked.
"The gentleman will suspend," Chaffetz interjected.
"Democracy has been suspended, Mr. Speaker."

This is a complete non-sequiter. By what "logic" is that any standard of comparason for anything?

It's the flag of an army of turncoats who declared war on their own country for political/economic reasons. Sound familiar.

Tea Partyers shout racist slur at White House cops: “Looks like something out of Kenya”

Wow. I’ve been to many a protest at the White House, and I’ve never seen people belittle the police like the Sarah Palin / Ted Cruz Tea Party protesters did today. There’s video, and it’s awful.

Calling the police protecting the White House “brownshirts,” laughing at them, and then one guy says “looks like something out of Kenya.”

The fanciful notion that President Obama was born in Kenya – he was in fact born in Hawaii – is a common racist slur that Tea Party adherents and other conservative Republicans use against the President.

Keep in mind these are the same people who brought confederate flags to the protest. As Peter Sylwester noted on Twitter, “Perhaps the Confederate flag mob will move next to reopen the Lincoln Memorial.”

At least their soul mates in the KKK know how to put on a decent demonstration. Washington 1928-

But blacks kill more blacks in a fraction of the time. These are the stats that certain people don't want us to see.

Lots of misnomers and over-generalizations being made.

Dude, sorry, but a bunch of angry white people flying the Confederate Flag in front of an African American's home is about as offensive as you can get. The only thing missing were white sheets and a burning cross.



Conservatives agree-

davidfrum @davidfrum Pro tip: If you want to express your love of US Army & its monuments … leave the Confederate flag at home.

Ironic that GOP is "respecting our vets" by proudly waving the flag of an enemy that killed 500,000 US vets

They never seem to display their hate flags at the Lincoln Memorial.

I have been saying this for some time. The Tea party is the modern day KKK. See here;

For the past 21 months, and during this election cycle, there is an increase in hate and vitriol from groups like the Tea Party (led by Jim DeMint et al) that are directly tied to the Ku Klux Klan‘s ideology. There are members of the Tea Party who are not blatant racists, but for the most part, teabaggers espouse a return to a white-only America that is in direct contrast to the Constitution and freedoms it guarantees for all Americans.

Unlike the KKK, teabagger groups mask their bigoted philosophy with notions of protecting liberty and returning to the strictest interpretation of the Constitution. Regardless the teabag rhetoric, at the core is a hatred of gays, immigrants, Jews, people of color, and non-Christians, which is exactly the same philosophy of the KKK.

The “birther” movement that denies President Obama is an American citizen and the 14TH Amendment revisionist movement are a direct response to a black man in the Oval Office. Like the Ku Klux Klan, these bigots insist that America is a whites-only nation, and a black man as President is unacceptable; and in their opinion, illegal. The birther movement and the KKK share the belief that our first black president is not a real American.

There is an alarming movement in some states to deny citizenship to immigrant’s children in violation of the 14TH Amendment, and it is aimed primarily at Hispanics. The KKK hates immigrants and minorities, and now they have agents in the teabaggers who are trying to drive minorities out of the country. It is a step to denying citizenship to any person of color, and like Nazi Germany, people are getting caught up in the herd-mentality and joining the battle against non-white Americans. It is no coincidence that the KKK uses the swastika as their symbol, and it is ironic that teabaggers accuse President Obama of being a Nazi when they follow KKK ideology.

People who live in the southern United States understand that the culture of bigotry is ingrained in many from the South, and many southerners condone the KKK and teabagger philosophy. If the South had the assets, they would fight the Civil War again for the sole purpose of banning immigrants, people of color, Jews, gays, and non-Christians from being American.

Politicians like Jim DeMint, Ken Cuccinelli (VA-R), and many other Republican/teabaggers from the south are imposing their Christian morals on the American people by demonizing gays and Muslims. Teabaggers believe America is a Christian nation, and like the Ku Klux Klan, campaign to purify America by enforcing archaic biblical laws to purge non-compliant citizens from the country.

The Ku Klux Klan burns bible-crosses to glorify Jesus Christ and openly declare their hatred for Jews, Muslims, and Catholics. It is not far removed from Daniel Webster’s (FL-R) wishes to make biblical stoning punishment for heresy. In the case of Webster and the KKK, heresy is any teaching that is NOT evangelical Christian, and their beliefs are those of the Christian Reconstructionist movement.

This week the NAACP released a report showing the connection between 6 Tea Party groups and extremists like the Ku Klux Klan, supporting the idea that teabaggers are racially motivated. Observers have felt the teabags are racist based on the representation of white people at teabagger gatherings, and their hatred for immigrants; the NAACP report substantiates that belief.

With the rise in popularity of the teabag movement, the true bigoted nature of many in America is made manifest and one has to wonder just how prevalent the KKK’s influence on American politics will become. Obviously, the KKK and teabagger mentality is not confined to southern states and shows the scope and breadth of bigots all across America.

Hopefully, exposing the connection between the Ku Klux Klan and the Tea Party will alarm and anger decent Americans enough that teabag candidates and their racially motivated policies will be shunned. However, with the mood of the country becoming more hateful and bigoted toward minorities and non-Christians, it looks like very dark days ahead for everyone in America. Because just as hate and frenzy steered Nazi Germany, it is having the same effect here in America…land of the free, home of the bigot.

i would like to think/hope that the majority of tea baggers aren't racist....but i would wager a considerable sum that most racists identify politically as teabaggers.

Now, whether it were the Vets or the Park Police leaving their trash behind, it don't matter to this guy...

I know a guy who hired John Boehner to represent him in a civil dispute over building a driveway.

He's now doing 10,000 years in a Federal Supermax "married" to Big Silky.

Wasn't the Sedition Act repealed about 200 years ago?

Heh, maybe that's the joke - convict teabaggers with post-revolution era laws!

both you two don't seem to get it (but that doesn't seem to be anything new), this park shut down wasn't outa spite, it was because of the Anti-deficiency Act.

The Anti-deficiency Act was what was keeping the Vets from respecting their Memorials?

What you been smoking, boy...
