Devin Nunez(R - CA) thinks they only shouted those things because the Democrats were acting totalitarian, not because they were racists and bigots. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/03/republicans-denounce-racist-an.html?hpid=topnews
And he didn't even get that right... Totalitarian - A type of government that has total control over all aspects of its citizen's lives.
The way I feel about it is not good. I'm fairly moderate but lean to the right on some core beliefs, and I believe name calling exists on both sides...But leave the racial name calling away. In fact what should be done away is all these ethnicity check boxes we are told to fill out such as the Census...Heck, many of us are mixed. This only helps foster division. That should be done away with as well as name calling...Besides Obama is truly likeable unlike Gore or Kerry who probably deserve to be name called, but my mantra is call them all idiots, or diddly poo-poo heads but leave racial out. Unfairly it reflects on others who are your side in the group...You win the game other ways.
Democrats: Police Your Own Hard to believe that all Democrats were overjoyed about this guy getting his teeth kicked in out in Vallejo, but hey, no one has come up to me and personally said they were against the beating, so I can only assume they condone it.
Is there any evidence that Democrats had anything to do with this terrible incident or even if politics had anything to do with this?
What a bad analogy. Had there been Democrats speaking to those that participated in the beating the same day? Were there democrats cheering them on at any gathering of the beaters? Did any Democrat come out after the beating and say that if people act the way the victim did they should expect a beating? Your analogy just didn't cut it.
Who cheered on the guy(s) hurling these epithets? I haven't heard any evidence of that going on... It's a good analogy in that it demonstrates that two disconnected things don't necessarily connect! BTW, don't wear a white dress shirt today because most of those Republican congressmen were wearing white dress shirts... not sure about the ladies.... or that motley crew of Democrats who voted against the bill.
Vocabulary fail aside, rimrocker has provided ample evidence in this thread that claims of "disconnection" between the GOP and tea party loonies are fanciful at best. Only disengenious goofs such as thumbs or yourself would attempt to logically depict otherwise.
I am not approving of what a few people did but lets see... Should all Democrats send an apologize for comments from Rahm Emanuel calling Liberals "f** r****ds"? Maybe when a certain someone calls cops acting "stupidly" and not apologizing for his own actions when he himself did not know the full story as he said a moment before his own statement? These actions do not represent Republican nor does it for the Tea Party. The hypocrisy is beyond believe.
get real. Republican congressmen were cheering the crowd on. That demonstrates the connection between the tea party and REpublicans. The jerks that yelled the racial and gay slurs were part of the tea party crowd. Nobody said all Republicans or even all tea baggers were racist. The point is that conservatives always come out and call on moderate muslims to speak out against the radicals. It isn't any different to call on tea partiers and Republicans to speak out against their radicals. The story posted trying to somehow say Democrats might be responsible was just stupid. There was no connection between Democrats and that story. The same isn't true of Republicans and the tea baggers. The connection has been shown. Do you get it now?
By denigrating others who do not share your beliefs, i.e. "disengenious goofs," are you not doing the same thing as those you currently are excoriating? Why not just call me a "beaner" or "wetback" or some other vile label?
Then why do you do it? If you want to take a personal shot, then why not man up and go all the way? Attack the idea, not the person.
