[/size] The Tea Party... OK, we can't call em racist, but can we call em F**KING NUTS?[/font][/b][/size] [/center] Bob Inglis is a 19 year Congressman from the 4th District in South Carolina and one of the staunchest conservatives in the House of Representatives, having earned a 93 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union.
After losing in the primaries to a tea party backed candidate, Inglis revealed what happened shortly before the runoff primary election when he met with about a dozen tea party activists at one of their homes:[/size][/b] "I sat down, and they said on the back of your Social Security card, there's a number. That number indicates the bank that bought you when you were born based on a projection of your life's earnings, and you are collateral. We are all collateral for the banks. I have this look like, "What the heck are you talking about?" I'm trying to hide that look and look clueless. I figured clueless was better than argumentative. So they said, "You don't know this?! You are a member of Congress, and you don't know this?!" And I said, "Please forgive me. I'm just ignorant of these things."
And then of course, it turned into something about the Federal Reserve and the Bilderbergers and all that stuff. And now you have the feeling of anti-Semitism here coming in, mixing in. Wow.[/b] Alrighty then!!
If that ain't enough to scare your ass into action this November, then nothing will! __________________ 'S'

AP/Salon.com By: Alex Pareene August 9, 2010[Photo-Chopped] [Rand Paul - Tea Party Candidate]Drug-Crazed Rand Paul Kidnapped Woman In Reefer Frenzy. Back when Rand Paul called himself "Randy," while he was attending Baylor, he apparently joined a "secret society" called the NoZe Brotherhood, according to Jason Zengerle, [url=http://www.gq.com/blogs/the-q/2010/08/gq-exclusive-rand-pauls-crazy-college-days-hint-theres-a-secret-society-involved.html#ixzz0wDKCODGA ]Reporting for GQ. [/color][/url] [/center] This group was made up of Baylor's more liberal students, and they committed pranks and published a satirical newspaper, as college students will do.
They also, according to a fellow NoZe Brother, "aspired to blasphemy," which sounds pretty good to me but may not go over all that well in Kentucky, the state Paul would like to represent in the U.S. Senate.
I am unsure how this incident will play in Kentucky, however:
The strangest episode of Paul's time at Baylor occurred one afternoon in 1983 (although memories about all of these events are understandably a bit hazy, so the date might be slightly off), when he and a NoZe brother paid a visit to a female student who was one of Paul's teammates on the Baylor swim team.
According to this woman, who requested anonymity because of her current job as a clinical psychologist, "He and Randy came to my house, they knocked on my door, and then they blindfolded me, tied me up, and put me in their car.
They took me to their apartment and tried to force me to take bong hits.
They'd been smoking pot."
After the woman refused to smoke with them, Paul and his friend put her back in their car and drove to the countryside outside of Waco, where they stopped near a creek.
"They told me their god was 'Aqua Buddha' and that I needed to bow down and worship him," the woman recalls.
"They blindfolded me and made me bow down to 'Aqua Buddha' in the creek.
I had to say, 'I worship you Aqua Buddha, I worship you.'
At Baylor, there were people actively going around trying to save you and we had to go to chapel, so worshiping idols was a big no-no."
Rand Paul's campaign did not actually deny any of this.
Though his spokesman did say this to Ben Smith: "We'll leave National Enquirer type stories about his teenage years to the tabloids where they belong."
So, don't listen to New Republic senior editor Jason Zengerle's Enquirer-style reporting for noted tabloid GQ, about Rand Paul's "teenage years," when he was a 19- or 20-year-old college student who kidnapped a woman and forced her to smoke a bong and worship a false idol.[/b][/size][/color] A photo of a few of the NoZe Brothers published in a 1983 issue of The Rope.

The woman who sparked a national firestorm by recounting Rand Paul's youthful indiscretions to GQ magazine is now clarifying her account: She says she was not kidnapped nor forced to do drugs by Paul.
But she reiterated other odd aspects of her earlier story, including her claim that Paul and another college friend blindfolded her, tied her up, and told her to smoke pot and worship the "Aqua Buddha," even if they didn't physically force her to do these things._________ __ 'S'

Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle once partook in a campaign against a local high school's use of black football jerseys, arguing that the dark color was ungodly and wicked, she just might be on to something.
I wonder if she believes the same for black folks? ___________ 'S' [/center]

Tea partiers preparing to pour into DC for Glenn Beck's March on the capitol Saturday needn't worry about where to eat or how to get around -- thanks to a tea party leader in Maine, they have all the info they'll need about how to operate in the nation's capital.
But D.C. is a scary place, tea party activist Bruce Majors writes, full of "immigrants, frequently from east Africa or Arab countries." (They are most often found driving cabs and working in restaurants, Majors says, and "do not like for you to assume they are African Americans and especially do not like for you to guess they are from a neighboring country (e.g. Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia) with whom they may have political or military tensions."
Good to know.
According to his Blogger profile, Majors actually lives in D.C. -- so, you know, he knows what he's talking about. Majors' guide to visiting the city for tea partiers, snagged from his blog here, was posted to the Maine tea party site by a local activist named Andrew Ian Dodge.
Majors doesn't specify whether visiting DC is any scarier than being a tea party leader in Maine -- a job where being confronted by angry, threatening mobs seems to be the general order of things. He does say, however, that there are places tea party visitors to the city just shouldn't go:
Many parts of DC are safe beyond the areas I will list here, but why chance it if you don't know where you are?
If you are on the subway stay on the Red line between Union Station and Shady Grove, Maryland. If you are on the Blue or Orange line do not go past Eastern Market (Capitol Hill) toward the Potomac Avenue stop and beyond; stay in NW DC and points in Virginia. Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line. These rules are even more important at night. There is of course nothing wrong with many other areas; but you don't know where you are, so you should not explore them.
Don't feel like traveling underground? It's best to stay out of the city entirely, lest you run into undesirables:
If on foot or in a cab or bus, stay in Bethesda, Arlington (preferably north Arlington), Crystal City, Falls Church, Annandale, or Alexandria, or in DC only in northwest DC west (i.e. larger street numbers) of 14th or 16th streets, or if on Capitol Hill only in SE Capitol Hill (zip 20003) between 1st and 8th Streets, not farther out than 8th (e.g. 9th, 10th etc). (Or stay on the Mall and at the various monuments.) Again there are many other lovely places, from the Catholic University of America to Silver Spring, Maryland. But you don't know where you are so you cannot go, especially at night, unless you take me with you.As the AtlanticWire pointed out, one DC blogger discovered that, when plugged into Google Maps, Majors' tour guide for D.C. leaves visiting tea partiers with few places to go when they have downtime:[/SIZE][/B] [url=http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=111207520400454594369.00048e8057d3c05b76405&source=embed&ll=38.913743,-77.047806&spn=0.128226,0.219727&iwloc=00048e805e7662b64c969 View The Tea Party Guide to DC[/url] Back in Maine, visitors to the post at the tea party site have praised Majors for offering his travel tips.
"Great stuff," commenter Joe Elk writes, describing his 1998 trip to the city to visit Maine's senators and ask them not to support CARA and Kyoto because they are huge job killers in Maine." He then describes his harrowing night afterwards.
"While I was there I stayed in a cheap hotel and had the window open. I was on the third floor," Elk writes. "I called home and while I was on the phone there was a burst of 9MM automatic weapons fire in the street. My wife said it was pretty loud and was that the TV? I told her it wasn't the TV. It was live in the street in Washington, DC, which is more dangerous than Baghdad."
[Correction: The first version of this post incorrectly stated that Majors posted the guide to the Maine tea party site himself. The travel tips were indeed written by him, on his blog, but they were posted in Maine by someone else. This post has been corrected to reflect that.][/COLOR] ______________________ __ 'S'

August 25, 2010 By: E. GraySo this is a Tea Party hero? How EMBARRASSING! A recent study reveals that Glenn Beck is a highly regarded individual among Tea Party supporters, scoring an extraordinarily high 75 percent warm rating (very or somewhat), with 57 percent rating their feelings towards him as very warm.
And for sure, Beck has leveraged that very warm feeling that Tea Partiers have towards him to the tune of $32 MILLION a year between books, personal appearances and his radio and TV gigs.
Hey, it ain’t a bad payday for what amounts to a frat boy & morning zoo DJ, especially since most of the heavy lifting is done by millions of poor, middle class dopes like those in the Tea Party who follow blindly and open their wallets for any crap the self-described rodeo clown puts out there, most of which Beck really doesn’t even believe himself!! (and BTW, I’ll bet a lot of hard working, talented and highly trained Rodeo Clowns are insulted by being compared to someone like Beck).
On August 28th, Beck seeks to expand his celebrity and his fortune even more on the backs of the Tea Party proletariat by holding a rally in DC on the same date and site of Martin Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech.
In order to clearly delineate the difference between greatness (MLK) and deceit (Beck), we thought it would be interesting to contrast the achievements of these two men. (courtesy of The Other 98%). Need more evidence that Beck is a humiliation to any reasonably intelligent Tea Partier? Just watch the video: WOW!! Knowing that Glenn Beck, frat boy and Morning ZOO DJ, is your movement’s intellectual & spiritual leader must be damn embarrassing, dontcha think? __________________ 'S' [/center]

By: Amy Gardner | 2642+ Comments Washington Post Staff Writer August 25, 2010 Glenn Beck rally will be a measure of the tea party's strengthGlenn Beck, civil rights leaders spar over MLK anniversary.
Beck's decision to speak on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech leads to criticism by social activists and civil rights leaders. When Fox News and talk radio host Glenn Beck comes to Washington this weekend to headline a rally intended to "restore honor" to America, he will test the strength - and potentially expose the weaknesses - of a conservative grass-roots movement that remains an unpredictable force in the country's politics.
Beck, who is both admired and assailed for his faith-based patriotism and his brash criticism of President Obama, plans in part to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. as an American hero. He will speak on the anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech, from the spot where King delivered it.
Some "tea party" activists say the event, at which former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is also scheduled to speak, will have a greater impact than last September's "9/12" march along Pennsylvania Avenue. Though the attendance figures for that anti-tax rally are disputed, it was the first national gathering to demonstrate the size and influence of the tea party movement.
But with just a few days before the Beck rally, basic questions linger, including how big it will be and whether the event, which Beck says is nonpolitical, will help or hurt Republicans in November. Also unanswered is whether Beck can pull off the connection to King without creating offense - or confrontation with another event the same day led by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Beck said in a recent broadcast that he did not intentionally choose the "I Have a Dream" anniversary for his rally - but that he believes the coincidence is "divine providence."
"Whites don't own Abraham Lincoln," he said. "Blacks don't own Martin Luther King. Those are American icons, American ideas, and we should just talk about character, and that's really what this event is about. It's about honoring character." [/B][/COLOR]

By: Joe Gandelman August 31st, 2010 | Comments: 37+
[Cartoon by Randall Enos - Cagle Cartoons] The Day of Beck-oningIndependent’s Eye: Saturday August 28, 2010: Dear Diary: I’ve just watched part of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally and realize how wrong I’ve been! Here I thought that Beck was just another money-seeking talk show host, trying to get more attention than competitors, trying to build a synergistic empire of radio and television talk shows, books — even a university. Beck’s comments about Barack Obama being a racist who didn’t like white people made me think that Beck was a racist. I saw him as someone who became a multi-millionaire by delivering a big demographic for advertisers via polarizing and demonizing. But watching Beck, political celebrity Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party-like crowd made me realize that if this had been the1960s they would have been in the front lines with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. How could ANYONE doubt that these folks would be sending letters to LBJ, clamoring for the Civil Rights Act’s passage and organizing to defeat anyone who didn’t support it? I could envision Beck, Palin and the crowd, their chins thrust forward, arms firmly locked with Dr. King’s, bravely walking into spraying water hoses (perhaps screaming: “Hey, aim that water a little more to the right!!”) while singing “We Shall Overcome.” I realized that if King was in the audience, King would be applauding, would buy Beck’s books and enroll in Beck’s university. I know J. Edgar Hoover would. How could anyone watch that rally and doubt that Beck shares just as much a right to claim King’s heritage (or as Sean Hannity might eventually argue more, since Beck’s a Republican) than Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or Andrew Young? Or that the 2010 crowd had as much a right to claim King’s heritage as the 1960s crowd that included civil rights workers? I mean, the Lincoln statue was the same. So what more proof do you need? I listened to Beck plead that we need to remove the “poison” from our dialogue, think more about God, more about American values, be more unified and realized: this man is an American moral and spiritual leader. Monday August 30: Dear Diary: Oh what do I do now? Less poison, more unity-advocate Beck just criticized Obama’s religious beliefs. Beck told Fox News that “People aren’t recognizing his version of Christianity.” (Diary entry ends…) The bottom line: Glenn Beck’s rally was theater – a movie set packed with extras to frame its star — the next opening salvo in a new synergistic piece for his empire. Beck has now just-coincidentally-mind-you announced that he’s launching a new conservative, Huffington Post-like mega website The Blaze.Beck is about product, image and ratings. He has stressed that his company is an “entertainment company” and has said he could “give a flying crap about the political process.” Those who agree with him insist he’s far more than a talk show host. But he’d lose his ratings and audience if he made nice with Obama, Democrats, liberals, moderate Republicans and stopped pushing the fear and resentment hot buttons. He’d have ratings like CSPAN. Meanwhile, the event spoke volumes: Beck got massive coverage, sparked lot of commentaries and had people seriously arguing that he and those in the crowd in fact had a real…authentic…no-joke..not kidding…claim on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s legacy – a terrific build up to Beck’s just-announced new major conservative website.[/size][/b][/color] ____________ __ 'S'
