Republicans are vile, vile people. Attacking children, mocking the poor, and now reaming out a Parkinson’s patient for cheap laughs. Link is to the full video, here’s a taste of their hate:

A good article on salsa and it’s place in America. Plus some decent recipes.
Climate Change Presents A Burr For Coffee Growers : NPR
Well, you can’t get any of the rabid Republicans to admit there is such a thing as climate change going on, but they’ll soon know the problems it creates when their coffee changes due to the new environmental challenges created by the world getting warmer.
Bonus coffee story on why dark coffee is better for you.
The Great Thing About the Health Care Law That Has Passed? It Will Save Republican Lives, Too (An Open Letter to Republicans from Michael Moore)
Some tongue-in-cheekiness from Michael Moore on the passage of the Health Reform Bill.
Which brings me back to what I fervently believe. At least half of the folks that are gonna benefit from this are the tea bagging racists who have been screaming racial epithets and secession the whole time. I hope they can get their meds past the big ol’ honking hypocrisy pill they’ll have to swallow.
Racism, Homophobia Dominates Tea Party Protest Over Health Care Bill
This is not a spontaneous uprising of disaffected citizens who are angry about bailouts. This is the base of the modern Republican party, same as it ever was.
– Digby on the Tea Party Racist Traitors
I’d love to say I’m surprised but I’ve lived in the South and in the rural Midwest. Racist Republicans are nothing new to me.
However, you used to find that the most vile woman-hating, minority-loathing, gay-bashing language was kept at home. Now it is out in the open. The secessionist bullshit is in the open. The violent revolution is on the table.
Why? Because they lost a couple elections. That’s it. People, in the main, got tired of their lies and bullshit and voted a lot of Republicans out of office. Then, we the people, elected a black man president. And these cretins went insane.
You have a better explanation? Pop me an email, because nothing else looks plausible.
Our nation is progressing. Moving forward. We just now got a health insurance system that is on par with other free nations of the world. They got their’s in the middle of the last century. We’ll get a portion of our’s in four years time. Progress. Kind of.
But this is horrible for the conservatives. Let’s see what passes for compassion with them.
Reverting to time honored racism, calling black Congressmen “nigger“. Spitting on Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver.
Talking Points Memo has a nice roundup on both the racial element, plus the blatant homophobia by calls of “faggot” directed at Rep. Barney Frank.
Once again, so “compassionate” these conservatives.
Here are Reps James Clyburn and Elijah condemning the Rethugs:
Weak tea? Partiers fear fallout – Kenneth P. Vogel – POLITICO.com
In theory, some of the Tea Bagging Traitors fear a backlash from all the racist and treasonous bullshit their kind spews. Granted, I’m supposed to believe these morons don’t know they traffic in treason. That’s a big leap of faith to be honest.
Cases in point follow.
Pastor Randy Neugebauer, who was on the ticket with Alan Keyes, is calling for the death of all 219 representatives who voted for health care reform. Now THAT is compassionate conservatism in action! And he’s supposedly a “man of God”.
ConservaTwit Solomon “Solly” Forell is in deep shit for tweeting about assassinating President Obama. So much for democracy; not that the GOP has been a fan of it anyway.
And then there are the Tea Bagger protest signs. Here are some, plus some more here.
– Bonus points for using a LaRouche sign
There’s protesting and then there is pissing on the concept of America. This is the latter. They voluntarily chose to no longer be my countrymen.
Waterloo | FrumForum
David Frum is a diehard conservative. He uses their talking points, their stupid names for honest legislation, and I probably would check outside before believing his assertions that the sky was blue.
But he isn’t an idiot. Misguided, but not a fool.
So, when he reads the tea leaves over the end of the health care bill, it may behoove other conservatives to pay attention when he pronounces doom and gloom for the GOP.
For once, I hope he’s right.
The Misinformed Tea Party Movement – Forbes.com
Only the source is surprising. Here is a Forbes article pointing out that the Tea Bagging Treason crowd doesn’t have a clue about how taxes work in this country.
I mean, when freaking Forbes is calling you out as dangerous, misinformed dolts, you pretty much are. These guys, while doctrinally fair, aren’t ever getting confused as liberals.
If you are anti-tax, have your facts dead wrong, and are getting mocked by conservative economists, you can take it to the bank that, yes, you’re a moron.
