The Racist Tea Party Signs Thread

[pimpdave]

I just had a ton of fun reporting pimpdave's pages of spam. Sorry for whichever mod has to handle all of his spam.

Uh oh, you might get banned for filing too many reports, the way owenshooter did! You're commiting the same offense! Quickly mods, do the job we pay you for!

And it's not spam if it's in this thread. First of all, aside from Frigidus, I'm the only one actually staying on topic. Secondly, I started the thread. If you don't like it, go start your own thread providing examples of racism in Tea Party rally signs. I'm not derailing your threads. I'm not reporting you in your threads. Why don't you just avoid this thread, since it apparently bothers you so much?

Or is that advice impossible for you to follow? Since, you know, you used to dole it out back when you were abusing your mod powers back in the day.

EDIT: So is killing.44, since he has provided evidence of racism in the Tea Party.

[pimpdave]

Quoting from the link killing.44 posted:

Last week we reported on a photograph of self-proclaimed Tea Pary founder Dale Robertson holding a sign featuring a racist (and misspelled) slur. In an exclusive interview with Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher, Robertson claims that the photo was a fake. I was asked to take a look at the now-infamous photo of Tea Party leader Dale Robertson to assess the likelihood that the word ‘niggar’ was added at a later time.

He's even the founder of your glorious party. Wow.

Your posts fall into half the items listed in the definition of spamming.

Double/triple/multiple posting.
Posts that add nothing to the current topic.
Posting rapidly in a short time.
Posting the same thing over and over in the same or other threads.

Spam posts are spam.

[pimpdave]

You're trolling and derailing, Night Strike. I'm not derailing and trolling your threads, nor am I spamming them, now am I? Also, I am not spamming this thread, I am merely reminding people of what the topic is and to please get back on that topic.

If this thread is so bothersome to you, you can feel free to avoid it. How many times have I said that now in this thread, yet you continue to troll and derail, along with your wing nut friends. I haven't reported you up till now.

Also, most of what you post is spam, based on that definition. It's just the same thing, over and over and over again, in the same or different threads. Give it a rest.

WILL YOU ALL PLEASE QUIET DOWN! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP.



One tiny, tiny correction at my own peril ... ol' Saxi does have a subscription to Popular Photography and is quite the shutterbug. I teach a digital photo class at the Santa Barbara senior center and it's not uncommon - in fact it's very rare - that ol' Sax finds people who have set the date on their cameras after purchase. A Canon EOS is an entry-level DSLR and it wouldn't surprise me if the person using it would fall into that camp. Metadata from an image is a very tenuous method to establish image authenticity.

Ol' SAXI ain't weighing in on this thread one way or the other --- it's noisier in here than when Es and Cilantro are in the garage at my house playing LEGO ROCK BAND -- just saying - the metadata ... it's ...

The reason I won't personally avoid this thread is because I think it is an attempt to smear the main principles of the tea party movement. Anyone who objectively follows it knows it's mostly about stopping out of control spending and income taxation. Instead of debating those two points this thread tries to make it look like opposing them is equivalent to being a racist. So your thread deserves to be debunked.

Now it is true that some of those signs are in poor taste and degrading. The first lady should not be morphed into a monkey or ape. It's extremely disrespectful to show Obama as a pygmie. There are better ways to make the point that we oppose the President's policies.

[Woodruff]

Since people like Woodruff, AAFitz and jimboston like to do the old multiple post game to move a thread to a new page, I can play the same game.

What the hell are you babbling about? I have never done this intentionally...quite honestly, it wouldn't have occurred to me to do so.

I love how Woodruff (that bumbling old hypocrite) is trying to tell me to not multiple post when he does it in EVERY THREAD.

I certainly have done it (though certainly not SEVEN IN A ROW THAT ARE FUCKING IDENTICAL)...though certainly not in any resemblance to "every thread".

So, since people want to hide away all of the evidence of racism in the Tea Party, I'll be sure to put it right back in your smug, fat faces. Tea bag you with it, so to speak.

I don't understand why you believe that "trying to hide away any evidence of racism in the Tea Party" has been particularly common amongst the members of these fora.

On topic, I just realized that the n-word was photoshopped into the picture.

I don't think so...if it is, that's one of the worst photoshop jobs EVER. I suspect the guy with the sign paperboard-shopped it, actually (that's what it looks like).

Night Strike has shown his bias behavior on the threads concerning the Tea Party. He's now trolling and spamming Pimpdave.

I feel sorry that Pimpdave will be warned or worse. The moderators or whoever from C.C. will come to the rescue of Night Strike's feeble attempts to derail this thread as he did in Doc Brown's thread.

Political heresy will be dealt with severely, especially if you may be a Democrat, Socialist, Communist, Progressive, liberal or other anarchist who are destroying America's ideals!

I can't even moderate this forum, so it's impossible to act on any bias. All I can do is report what I believe to be a breaking of the forum rules and let an independent forum moderator or an admin make a decision. I don't need rescuing from any other moderator.

whoa, that image was at a Tea Party? (M.O.)

As I have said a few times now, the first tea party in 2009, We made sure the 9-11 truther understood that his message was not welcome at our rally. We knew what to do, automatically. We did not need someone to tell how to act, or the right way to act. I know it would be the same way at most other tea parties too. Now, granted we are from Minnesota, and "Minneota Nice" is a very real thing, me and my buddy, along with random other Tea Baggers, immediately blocked out his sign, and followed him wherever he went (to the top of the steps of the capital).

Now

As I have also said before, if it were a racist sign, we would have done the EXACT SAME THING, with even more fervor. IMO, people with racists signs are TRYING to ruin my movement and my beliefs. I would act immeditately.

This simple truth is the reason why I have 0 respect for the position against the Tea Party. They don't want to talk about the issues. I would bet my left nut against an opponent with so much fear, and that is the truth, and that is exactly what the author is afraid of.

It's just a couple of economic issues.....Geeeeezzzzz

Sorry Phatscotty, but the Tea Party is just not about a couple of economic issues. It's obvious that you're a bit ignorant about the ideals of the many Rednecks who populate this huge WHITE umbrella group.



The Tea People are a group of xenophobic, panic stricken white people that want their country back. They want to pay fewer taxes, even though they are paying fewer taxes now. There’s a real WTF moment.

Anyhew, YET ANOTHER SIGN THAT WAS NOT AT A TEA PARTY!!! I was in some East Coast Newspaper. This is getting comical now. Libs taking all forms of past racism and projecting it on the tea party?!?!

The only thing that is clear is that your position is built on name-calling. Pretty strong position which demands respect. That Image you showed has nothing to do with the Tea Party and Everything to do with the Monkey that ripped off the womans face.

Wow, another Liar, BUSTED red-handed. How does bringing that racist crap here and mis-representing such a racist picture help reduce racism? If you are intentionally trying to fan flames of racism, GREAT JOB!!!

[Phatscotty]

How are these tied to the Tea Party? (just asking for a clarification).

That is the wrong question in a Gimp thread!

[notyou2]

[notyou2]

This is no worse than posting images of George Bush as Alfred E. Newman (from Mad Magazine). Just because Erkel is black does not make this racist. If you are going to use pop cultural images to insult a politician you kinda have to use someone from the same race. No?

Not racist in any way.

Sure it is. Jim do you see any people that aren't of caucasian extraction? It's obviously a party for whites only. Oh, and religious white zealots are preferred judging by Dale's hat as he is a founding member I understand.

Nobody should assume this sign is racist. Obama is not patriotic and his wife has said Dixie Chick type comments. He has roots in Kenya. If he had roots in Spain, the sign would likely say Spain.

Sorry Dave, I'm breaking your rule apparently because the rightwing can't follow simple instructions.

Viperovershoe, Bush had roots in England, did you see signs during the Iraq war protests telling him to return to England? No, so why should there be signs telling Obama to return to Kenya? Is it because he is black? YES, you overlord snake, it is because he is black. Now, how is that not racist?

Ummm, maybe they didn't tell Bush to go back to England because he wasn't born there? Just a wild guess . . .

Bickering over who's the bigger wanker between the two is stoopit - there is no question that Bush was a more prolific wanker. So where does that leave us? With a second-rate wanker for president i guess.. Lucky us.
