Someone has started a page of photos of Tea Party signs using "creative" spelling and grammar. They call it Teabonics.

My favorite so far is
"Make English America's offical Language"

(offical is underlined twice)

They seem to have trouble with "ial". Several spell socialism as

Tea Party people didn't give a flying fuck about taxes when George Bush was the president...

(But he was a Republican and white, BOberdz...)

My point, exactly...

But back to Tea Party people... Look at the rallies... These are the same right winged base that the Repubs have always taken for granted and either vote or don't vote depending on their mood... They ain't the folks who got the big tax cuts under Bush... They ain't the upper 5%ers... No, they are the Joe the un-Plumber (what does he really do???)... So ya'll can take the tax argument and flush it... That dog don't hunt... Oh, BTW... 95% of them have had their taxes go, ahhhhhhh, down under Obama so ya'll just quit with the stupid arguments and get to meat of the problem: Obama is black and he is a democrat... That's ths tory here... The rest are lies piled upon lies...

Perhaps the truth might at last start to trickle through to the demonisers of Obama that,far from being a radical of the extreme left, he is a decent moderate politician, who would be quite at home politically in the centre-right in most democratic countries.

"These people could be anybody. I wouldn't put it past the Democrats to plant somebody there. They're trying to label the tea party, but I've never seen any racial slurs."

-- Dale Robertson, self-proclaimed founder of the Tea Party, quoted by the Washington Times.

The only problem? The Washington Independent caught Robertson at a Tea Party rally last month holding a sign with a racial slur. Story here> "Dale Robertson, a Tea Party activist who operates TeaParty.org, is getting stung for an old photo Ñ taken at the Feb. 27, 2009 Tea Party in Houston Ñ in which he holds a sign reading ÒCongress = Slaveowner, Taxpayer = Niggar.Ó

After the ResistNet listerv promoted ÒLiberty ConcertsÓ to be held by TeaParty.org, a source passed on this photo of Robertson, after the jump.

Update: Josh Parker of the Houston Tea Party Society tells me that Robertson was booted out of the event for this sign."

he said he recognizes that the movement involves people with "mainstream, legitimate concerns" about the national debt, government expansion and big spending.

"I wouldn't paint in broad brush and say that everybody who is involved or have gone to a tea party rally or meeting are somehow on the fringe," Obama said. "I think that there's a broader circle around that core group of people who are legitimately concerned about the deficit, who are legitimately concerned that the federal government may be taking on too much."



That is what Obama said- I guess some here need to tellhim how wrong he is...

Students riot, terrorize the Chancellor and his family, set fires, battle with police and destroy personal property to protest higher tuition and they are Angels.

Unhampered speech means you can terrorize people by attempting to burn their house down with them inside and left wingers will give you a pass.

All political movements are of necessity "terrorist".

Organisation of humanity is a terrorist act.

All governments....especially "democratic" governments engage in terrorism, against their own people and against the people of other nations whom they perceive to be weaker, but an ideological danger.

Once again we are being diverted into splitting hairs, the enemy is obvious but we continue to tolerate it because we fear we may lose what we have gained through terrorism.

Students protesting for greater access to education is at least a worthy goal, even if the mob got out of control and resorted to property damage. I don't know if I would even call them an organization, let alone a terrorist organization. You keep bringing in these sketchy associations to divert the thread from its original subject, Sawz.

Are UC Berkley students a terrorist organization??

Overnight, an impromptu riot to protest budget cuts and tuition increases at the University of California-Berkeley snowballed to include more than 200 people and resulted in flaming dumpsters, broken windows and dancing in the streets.

The Daily Californian reports that the riot emerged from a campus dance party and metastasized into an all-out fiery clash between students and police.

    Officers physically pushed the crowd back so that Berkeley fire personnel could extinguish the flames. Sporadic fights broke out within the crowd, causing police to advance their line on the growing mob and use batons to push it back.

    Members of the crowd hurled glass bottles, plastic buckets, pizza and other objects at the police line. The crowd's size and intensity fluctuated as the police and protesters clashed and multiple members of the crowd were detained by police.

Mob attacks UC-Berkeley chancellor's home

BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 12 2009 (UPI) -- An angry mob descended on the home of University of California-Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau, breaking windows and throwing torches, police said.

Eight of the estimated 75 people who took part in the Friday night attack were arrested on a variety of charges, including attempted arson and assault with a deadly weapon, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday.

The crowd voiced anger over student fee increases and budget cuts.

"No justice, no peace," they chanted before smashing planters, windows and lights, the newspaper said.

Campus spokesman Dan Mogulof said several threw torches at the home, where Birgeneau was awakened by his wife, Mary Catherine.

"These are criminals, not activists," Birgeneau said in a statement Saturday. "The attack at our home was extraordinarily frightening and violent. My wife and I genuinely feared for our lives. The people involved in this action will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I want to emphasize that they represent an extreme minority of our students."

The attack came a day after university police arrested 66 people tied to a four-day protest this week at the school's Wheeler Hall, which also was the site of a Nov. 20 occupation and clash between students and authorities."

Is Moveon.org a Terrorist Organization??

An opponent of government healthcare programs had part of a finger bit off during a fight at a pro-healthcare-reform rally this week in Thousand Oaks. William Rice, 65, of Newbury Park was with a small group of counter-protesters at a vigil Wednesday night organized by Moveon.org when a man bit off part of his left pinky finger during a scuffle, authorities said. Doctors were unable to reattach Rice's finger. Sheriff's detectives Thursday were still looking for the man who bit Rice. Investigators also were sifting through conflicting accounts of the incident, but Rice acknowledged that he threw the first punch. "When he got in my personal space, I popped him in the nose," Rice said in a phone interview Thursday. "I felt like I had no choice other than to defend myself." The incident was reported at 7:26 p.m. Wednesday at Lynn Road and Hillcrest Drive, where more than 100 people gathered for the pro-healthcare-reform vigil.

About 15 people opposed to President Obama's healthcare reform stood across the street from Moveon.org's group. Members of Code Pink: Women for Peace also were there, authorities said. Rice got involved in a heated discussion with a member of Code Pink, said sheriff's Capt. Ross Bonfiglio, a department spokesman. After the argument, Rice returned to where his group was standing. An unidentified man then walked from Moveon.org's area toward the opponents and verbally confronted Rice, allegedly calling him names and acting aggressively, Bonfiglio said. Rice told investigators he felt threatened by the man and punched him in the nose, Bonfiglio said. A fight ensued, during which part of Rice's finger was bitten off, Bonfiglio said. Rice drove himself to Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. Another man found the bitten-off portion of the finger and took it to Rice at the hospital, Bonfiglio said.

Doctors told Rice the pinky, severed near the second knuckle, could not be reattached because of high bacteria levels from a human bite, he told the Ventura County Star. Rice said he did not initially plan to participate in any demonstration Wednesday. He was driving by when he spotted Code Pink members, and he stopped to see if they were protesting the military, he said. Rice has a son who is an officer in the Marine Corps. After a brief exchange with Code Pink members, Rice said, he was satisfied they were not protesting the military. He was leaving when a man who seemed "deranged" approached and called him an "idiot," he said. Rice said he felt like the man had singled him out because he was the "easiest target." But the incident happened quickly, he said, and he doesn't clearly remember everything that preceded the altercation.

Scott Bush, 43, of Thousand Oaks said he was standing with Rice in the group opposed to healthcare reform when the man walked over from the Moveon.org group. Bush said the man asked the group if it supported a public health insurer option, and members responded "no." The man then singled out Rice and asked him why, according to Bush. When Rice responded that he didn't want the government involved in anything, the man moved toward Rice and yelled, "You're an idiot," Bush said.

Bush said Rice then hit the man in a defensive move. The man then pulled Rice into the street, according to Bush. After a fight that lasted only a few seconds, Bush said, he heard Rice say, "He bit my finger off," and he saw a stump. Several witnesses said Rice's shirt was ripped during the scuffle. Bush said he later found the roughly 1-inch piece of finger about 20 feet away and took it to Los Robles Hospital. The suspect left before police arrived, authorities said. He was described as a short man with a medium build, wearing a blue cap, black shirt and black shorts. Detectives were still trying to determine much about the incident, including whether the man intended to bite off Rice's finger, sheriff's Detective Eric Buschow said. Rice said he thinks the man intended to harm him but not bite off his finger.

Authorities did not consider the man a criminal suspect Thursday and were not looking to arrest him, Buschow said. "We want him to come forward so we can talk to him. We want to hear his side," Buschow said. "He's part of the puzzle." The man did give an account of the incident to people at the Moveon.org gathering before he disappeared, said Joanie McClellan of Thousand Oaks, an organizer of the vigil. The man was visibly shaken, with his glasses askew and a lens missing, she said.

McClellan said no one at the gathering knew the man, who never gave his name and said he wasn't on the Moveon.org list. McClellan, also involved with Code Pink in Ventura County, said she did not see the altercation. The man told McClellan he was on his way to the healthcare vigil when Rice heckled and then hit him, she said. The man acknowledged he had bitten Rice's finger, she said. "We had asked him to go and sit on the grass so he could calm down, and I never saw him again," she said.

Although he did not plan to protest Wednesday, Rice said, he's opposed to government involvement in general, except for mail service and the military. "It doesn't have any business in anybody's healthcare," he said. Rice acknowledged he used the Medicare he gets as a senior when he went to the hospital Wednesday. He said it was the first time he used the program, to which he remains adamantly opposed. "If I had any other options, I would not have used it, even though I pay for it," he said.

Emily Kryer, spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Lois Capps, said the incident will not affect plans for a healthcare forum Friday night in Oxnard. The congresswoman will co-host a community information session at 6 p.m. at Bethel AME Church. Kryder said Oxnard police officers will provide security. Anyone with information about the biting incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.

Killer liberal government haters doing illegal things:

Pentagon Gunman was busted in Reno for Pot

Reports say that Bedell was calm Thursday when he coolly drew a 9-millimeter handgun from his pocket and started firing during the point-blank attack that turned into a four person shooting spree.

A distrust of the federal government was apparent on Internet social networking blogs that officials believe were authored by Bedell

On Feb. 5, Bedell posted $2,080 cash bail in Reno on charges of driving under the influence of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance, records show. He was given a March 2 arraignment date in Reno Justice Court and failed to appear.

Bedell was arrested in Reno at South Virginia Street and Longley Lane about 9:30 p.m. Feb. 1 following a traffic stop. A deputy suspected he was intoxicated due to the vehicle drifting across travel lanes and stopping 50-feet before approaching a red light.

Inside Bedell's car was a drug pipe with marijuana residue and three plastic containers of marijuana, the report said.

"I could smell a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle," Deputy John Schuette wrote. "I explained to Bedell that I could smell marijuana and asked him to hand it to me. Bedell retrieved a pink colored metal pipe from his right pants pocket and gave it to me."

Schuette wrote Bedell told him the last time he used marijuana was "a couple weeks ago," and later revised his answer to "a couple hours ago."....

I love people in the streets to oppose Jim Crow (my own first). I loved kids in the streets against the Vietnam war. I loved people in the streets for peace.

But, Bobert, I love them all. Not just the ones that agree with me, or the ones where every signmaker can spell. I love them all.

I hope you took the opportunities you had to speak. In the streets if you felt that call.

These people say they feel threatened by their government. I have felt that way myself. Sometimes I went into the streets and spoke, sometimes I didn't. If they feel that way, then no wonder they are speaking. I love them for it.

Grace in the face of political opposition is one of the things that defines the good part of American politics. It pleases me when I see and hear Americans who show that virtue. I try to show it toward my opponents.

My opponents are not usually villains or idiots, they are heroes for their own values. To call them nasty names does me no credit at all. It is especially abhorrent to me to suggest that a crowd of thousands must all be villains and idiots, because I have been told that some of them are.

Frank Rich of the NYT writes:

What made that kamikaze mission eventful was less the deranged act itself than the curious reaction of politicians on the right who gave it a pass Ñ or, worse, flirted with condoning it. Stack was a lone madman, and it would be both glib and inaccurate to call him a card-carrying Tea Partier or a ÒTea Party terrorist.Ó But he did leave behind a manifesto whose frothing anti-government, anti-tax rage overlaps with some of those marching under the Tea Party banner. That rant inspired like-minded Americans to create instant Facebook shrines to his martyrdom. Soon enough, some cowed politicians, including the newly minted Tea Party hero Scott Brown, were publicly empathizing with StackÕs credo Ñ rather than risk crossing the most unforgiving brigade in their base.

Representative Steve King, Republican of Iowa, even rationalized StackÕs crime. ÒItÕs sad the incident in Texas happened,Ó he said, Òbut by the same token, itÕs an agency that is unnecessary. And when the day comes when that is over and we abolish the I.R.S., itÕs going to be a happy day for America.Ó No one in KingÕs caucus condemned these remarks. Then again, what King euphemized as Òthe incidentÓ took out just 1 of the 200 workers in the Austin building: Vernon Hunter, a 68-year-old Vietnam veteran nearing his I.R.S. retirement. Had Stack the devastating weaponry and timing to match the death toll of 168 inflicted by Timothy McVeigh on a federal building in Oklahoma in 1995, maybe a few of the congressmanÕs peers would have cried foul.

It is not glib or inaccurate to invoke Oklahoma City in this context, because the acrid stench of 1995 is back in the air. Two days before StackÕs suicide mission, The Times published David BarstowÕs chilling, months-long investigation of the Tea Party movement. Anyone who was cognizant during the McVeigh firestorm would recognize the old warning signs re-emerging from the mists of history. The Patriot movement. ÒThe New World Order,Ó with its shadowy conspiracies hatched by the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. Sandpoint, Idaho. White supremacists. Militias.

Barstow confirmed what the Southern Poverty Law Center had found in its report last year: the unhinged and sometimes armed anti-government right that was thought to have vaporized after its Oklahoma apotheosis is making a comeback. And now it is finding common cause with some elements of the diverse, far-flung and still inchoate Tea Party movement. All it takes is a few self-styled ÒpatriotsÓ to sow havoc....

And here's the earlier story on the Tea Party which he called "chilling".
