What a disgusting visual to have in my head all day. Bunch of racist pigs! Thanks, shooz for outing these creeps.

If the shirt fits, wear it.

You can bet this fat slob wouldnt go walking through the hood with that on.

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 11 years ago

Well, it isn't like saying..............they are saying. Racist monsters.

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

The GOP has been playing the race card for four years now.

In every way they feel they can get away with.

It's just one more reason to toss them out, teabagge(R)s first.

[-] 0 points by Anarcat (42) 11 years ago

Oh My God, I'm sorry but when I actually sAW THE shirt it made me laugh really bad. No it's not racist.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Yes.

It is racist and it's just the latest in a long line of such things at teabagge(R) "events". Did you find all the others comical as well?

Fact is they KNEW it was considered racist when the design was fist shown.

They wore it anyway.

That's what makes it in arguably racist.

Good demonstration of Stinking Thinking on display.

[-] 2 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

The ones that pretend it isn't really bug me.

[-] 0 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

Actually should not all racist shit like that be considered a hate crime - just for displaying and spreading the disease?

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

The thing is, although that's the first one I've posted in a while, there's a lot that happened that I didn't, and that one guy was correct, this is one of the milder ones.

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

Mild or not it is wrong as it promotes hate.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

The thing about them is, they know it is.

It was called that a while ago when it was first used.

It's bigoted belligerence.

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

And should only be allowed displayed at a regular White Superamacist Sunday go to haten . . . um go to meeting. But not out in public.

They did a funny scene on the white sheets in Django.

They were bitching about not being able to see out of the holes.......:)

Perhaps - I often times wait until they hit the 5.00 shelf at the store.

You don't rent 'em?

We sometimes wait for the $2 cheap show.........:)

Nah - when they get cheap enough I add em to my collection - have to rebuild - sold my last collection when I lost the house.

Yo ho ho and a bottle 'o' rum...............:)

Yep.

It's what they are.

Plus they raised my taxes.

Glad a few were voted out & their main orgs are in chaos.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Do it again in '14'.

There's still too many of them and Demint is at heritage.......plotting.

[-] 0 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

It's true. The whole country is slowly moving away from the right wing extremist tea party. Most repub house seats are gerrymandered unfairly but if occupy keeps progressive momentum going '14 will be a continuation of kicking out tea partiers, and adding progressives.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

By '14' Occupy may have a few of their own as well.

We can hope anyway...............................:)

[-] 1 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

That may be. Certainly if Occupy continues as they are (outside the political process) they will still influence the political direction of the country, And as such push the progressive momentum forward. And give birth to more successful progressive candidates who run on agendas Occupy has developed.

At the same time our efforts will continue to chip away (& defeat) more right wing extremists.

It is inevitable, and unavoidable.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

All I can do is hope they make good on their initial promise to do so.

Fear of co-option needs to go.

[-] -1 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

Agreed. W/ a growing Occupy a better future is possible. Without, the future is dismal.

[-] 0 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

Actually, that is pretty damn funny. You could replace the african witch doctor for an indian shaman, wiccan, etc and the point would be the same.

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Yes I know teabagge(R)s are bigots and racists, and YOU find that funny.

Here's SOME of the rest of the story for you

If, by racist, you mean that I do not believe in affirmative action; that I am against race-based preferential treatment, then, yes, I am a card-carrying member. this comes from an individual that has had 2 black supervisors, several black professors in college, and a number of black colleagues in my pharmacy class.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Good to know that you admit that you are.

Thanks for being honest...................:)

Has it ever occurred to you that someday it may be Caucasians that might be in need of a little affirmative action?

And just so you know.

It's attitudes like yours that are bringing that day closer.

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

Over 150,000,000 individuals in the USA alone could benefit from affirmative action.

You know I do.......................:)

[-] 2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

Yes - Yes - I could not imagine different from you on the issue - anyway. {:-])

[-] -1 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

I have honestly thought about scenarios. You know, it is easy to have an opinion about an issue when one is not in that particular predicament. How would I handle waiting in line for unemployment? How would I handle discrimination? I believe, I would perhaps go down with the ship. I do not know exactly how I would cope; what steps to take. But I believe I have it in myself to cope. With that in mind, I do not see it in myself to go back on my principles because I am on the other side. I would do anything and everything, including selling my kidney and getting by on one meal a day, to not depend upon the government for assistance or affirmative action. Part of it is principle; part of it is that good old fashioned ultimate sin known as pride

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Artificial sacrifice, from an artificial guy.

Sell a kidney, eh?

[-] 2 points by Gillian (1842) 11 years ago

A kidney is probably worth more than a pint of plasma. Plus it is probably tax deductible if you earn more than 50,000/year

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

I think he should sell all his organs, internal and external, before he collects unemployment insurance. Or any insurance claim for that matter.

It could only help profits.

[-] 0 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

I would feel like the lowest form of hypocritical shit if I took the stand of low government assistance, and then look to the government when the chips were down.

[-] 1 points by MattLHolck (16833) from San Diego, CA 11 years ago

the money is there

it must be extracted through tax

robinhood is a fantasy

the poor never had any money to be taxed in the first place

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

Yep - what they basically had was the fruits of their labors =

Fruits - Grains - Tanned leather - Live stock - furniture - etc

I happy for you, never being on unemployment.

Be sure and sell a kidney first.

Keep your lungs, you're an obvious blowhard.

[-] -1 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

Would I be considered a blowhard if I, quietly, tried every avenue possible before sucking on the government tit?

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Your damn sure sucking on something.

Not sure what.

You should tell us.

BTW. Is this your first recession?

[-] 1 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

Nope. 1990-91 was the first one. Departments got cuts; my profession got cut. the key, which is lost on Americans, it to keep ahead, look ahead, and be prepared.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

That doesn't even count. That was just right sizing.

You should have been in the Great Reagan recession, it lasted up to 10 years in some segments.

Or the one back in the 70s.

[-] 1 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

My only experience from the Reagan recession (I grew up under Reagan - I am 42.) has to do with my father retiring from Ma Bell after it was forced to break apart. At 50, he started his own business. It failed after two years. he then went back to work and worked for another 10 years. No government tit sucking from my family.

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

OK I guess you really are this naive.

The corporation you used to work for paid into unemployment insurance.

So if YOU'RE too proud to collect on it, your the fool, not me.

[-] 0 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

I guess there were other people out there who needed it more than me.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

So just suck the corporate tit even harder for you?

[-] 0 points by highlander (-163) 11 years ago

It is simple. It is called working your ass off. Government aid is simply the ax behind the glass in case of fire

[-] -2 points by aville (-678) 11 years ago

aa is racist,.......its about quotas, skin color ( black), and has nothing to do with qualifications.

[-] -1 points by factsrfun (8342) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

How can there still be people confused about the need to defeat the TEA Party and their GOP goons, oh here's an interesting tidbit, the Boston Tea Party was the result of a corporate tax loophole, it seems the East Indian Tea Company had gotten the King to relax their taxes giving them a competitive advantage over their American competitors, this sparked the Tea Party (the real one).

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Shhhhhhh.

Don't tell them that. I have yet to find a "right" winger who knows this tid bit of truth.

The Boston Tea Party was actually over lowered taxes.

[-] -1 points by Coyote88 (-24) 11 years ago

This is what you are reduced to crying about?

[-] -1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Racism?

You should be crying about it too.

It's racist.

There is of course, a LOT more where that came from and you know it.

[-] -1 points by Coyote88 (-24) 11 years ago

You just keep on spouting that shit sweet cakes. Grow up.

[-] -1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Oh, sweet little poopie.

There's more where that came from.

It's you who needs to grow up.

There's even a whole lot more than that.

I can keep it up a lot longer than you can deny it.
