Question for Teabaggers, Why Obama?

[ginwilly]

Sorry Pie, not only are you a teabagger for disagreeing with Him, but you are also racist. It's not your fault though. Obamacare is going to lower health care costs, reign in the evil insurance and pharma companies and insure everyone without insurance. No need to actually read it. We told you what was in it.

First national protests


Ron Paul


On February 19, 2009,[SUP][79][/SUP] in a broadcast from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, CNBC Business News editor Rick Santelli criticized the government plan to refinance mortgages, which had just been announced the day before. He said that those plans were "promoting bad behavior"[SUP][80][/SUP] by "subsidizing losers' mortgages". He suggested holding a tea party for traders to gather and dump the derivatives in the Chicago River on July 1.[SUP][81][/SUP][SUP][82][/SUP][SUP][83][/SUP] A number of the floor traders around him cheered on his proposal, to the amusement of the hosts in the studio. Santelli's "rant" became a viral video after being featured on the Drudge Report.[SUP][84][/SUP]
Overnight, websites such as ChicagoTeaParty.com (registered in August 2008 by Chicagoan Zack Christenson, radio producer for conservative talk show host Milt Rosenberg,) were live within 12 hours.[SUP][85][/SUP] About 10 hours after Santelli's remarks, reTeaParty.com was bought to coordinate Tea Parties scheduled for Independence Day and, as of March 4, was reported to be receiving 11,000 visitors a day.[SUP][85][/SUP]
According to The New Yorker writer Ben McGrath[SUP][79][/SUP] and New York Times reporter Kate Zernike,[SUP][69][/SUP] this is where the movement was first inspired to coalesce under the collective banner of "Tea Party". By the next day, guests on Fox News had already begun to mention this new "Tea Party".[SUP][86][/SUP]
As reported by The Huffington Post, a Facebook page was developed on February 20 calling for Tea Party protests across the country.[SUP][87][/SUP] Soon, the "Nationwide Chicago Tea Party" protest was coordinated across over 40 different cities for February 27, 2009, thus establishing the first national modern Tea Party protest.[SUP][88][/SUP][SUP][89][/SUP] The movement has been supported nationally by at least 12 prominent individuals and their associated organizations.[SUP][90][/SUP]
Fox News called many of the protests in 2009 "FNC Tax Day Tea Parties" which it promoted on air and sent speakers to.[SUP][91][/SUP][SUP][92][/SUP] This was to include then-host Glenn Beck, though Fox came to discourage him from attending later events.[SUP][93][/SUP]

Dude he failed so hard you don't need to type/copy and paste that much info.

When you look up loser in the Oxford Dictionary now it just reads "Ron Paul ?-TX".

 

[nitro harley]

perhaps the stupidest thing anyone has typed, ever.

Stupidest thing ever...I will have to agree who in there right mind would want to dip there shit smeared ball sack into someones coffee cup?

 

[Mr Neutron]

there is no need to play dumb because you are dumb.

go to google. seqarch for tea party. click news. set the search interval for 12/2007 - 11-2008, and tell me who ALL of their complaints were against.

it is not accurate to say that the tea party was formed when W was a year from being gone, it is accurate to say that the tea party was formed when obama (or hillary) were months away from taking the presidency.

now shut the fuck up with your revisionist history, mustachioed hooker lover.

hell, you can even go back into the archives of RIU if you want to try to prove me wrong.

pro tip: you can't because you are a horrible liar and recorded history does not fit your revisionist history.

now go sit in the corner you fucking dunce.

I was starting to wonder when the REAL buck would reappear.

 

[Rak on Tur']

bullshit.

the emergence of barack obama is what gave birth to the tea party.

go find some archived news that proves me wrong. you can't.

stop trying to rewrite history.

I won't disagree with you, if the tea tards were around during George The Lesser they sure where quiet.

Rawn Fucking Paul is dead, let the fucker rot in peace.

He only supports the good standard cos he has interests in gold/silver companies, he's a faux libertarian and he truely needs to go fuck himself.

You should've voted Gary Johnson in 2012...

Actually I did vote for Johnson, I've never been a Ron Paul supporter. But that's besides the point.

Dude, Hitler had more solid policies for running a successful country than Ron Paul.

And Hitler was a fuck-tard, we all know this...

 

[ginwilly]

I think the best thing about the tea party was they targeted many RINOs and got a lot of shitty incumbents out. I wish there were a movement from the left that did the same thing to the shitty incumbent dems.

Johnson voter here too Rak. I think all three of us posted in this thread.

Nice rant, what's your point? Comparing hitler to any elected politician is a bit of a stretch of reality.

 

[UncleBuck]

i wait for morons like you to try to spread debunkable lies before i bring out the smackdown.

go ahead and check the archives. the tea party emerged in anticipation of obama/hillary, not in response to shrub's horribly failed tenure, massive deficits, attacks on civil liberties, or anything else.

you are an unremitting failure.

 

[ginwilly]

Mostly true Buck. The Tea Party took off in response to Obamanomics but the Campaign for Liberty was founded as a protest against the old guard republicans. Ron Paul's little section of the tea party had nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with what the republican party was doing.

So not all of us waited until the black guy did it too, but some did, yes. The difference between us and you is that while we are complaining together back then, you guys left us when your team doubled down on the same shit we were in agreement was bad before Him.

So, in all the earlier threads where you were acting like an adult, you were just waiting for the right moment for your inner child to throw a tantrum?

Where did I say that the Tea party emerged in response to ANYTHING that W did?

That describes our main problem, "as long as our team wins". I've been a independent all my life, you couldn't pay me to register as a republican. I'm not to fond of the new age democrats either. I do hold some conservative views, but I'm not against government spending.

It's odd how people's views change with who is in charge. Nader got it right, the man I voted for in 08. Obama is just a black John Kerry.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Do you think the German electorate just said "Fuck it, lets turn a blind eye while all the Jews disappear" ??

Hitler was an excellent politician and an extremely adept Govt leader...he slowly poisoned the German people by being a (seemingly) successful motherfucker and giving them shit...

Sound like anyone?

I guess you were right, sounds like the majority of republicans and democrats to me.

 

[Harrekin]

Hence why both parties are now supported (in the majority) by both left and right wing (retard) extremists.

When both left and right die off, we can all live happily in the center.

 

[UncleBuck]

The Tea Party Movement was born on Dec 16, 2007... so W was a year away from being gone. If you didn't hear any complaints from them about W, you weren't listening.

Where did I say that the Tea party emerged in response to ANYTHING that W did?

unremitting failure.

archives go back to 2006, i dare you to try to find a single complaint from the righties about shrub.

pro tip: i've checked before. your move. make my day.

I almost feel sorry for you man.

Is the Cato Institute right wing? I thought they were but I can't tell by your delusions. You might want to check the date on that article too. It's from 2003, some of us were bitching every stupid step.

This is the Republican Party that has embraced as its own every liberal initiative, from Lyndon Johnson’s Medicare to Jimmy Carter’s Department of Education to Bill Clinton’s AmeriCorps. This is the Republican Party preparing to enact a Medicare drug benefit that would represent the largest expansion of the welfare state in 40 years. This is the Republican Party that is increasing federal education spending as if doing so had something to do with the quality of local schools. This is the Republican Party that is increasing spending faster than during the Clinton years. Right-wing extremists? For the Left, liberal means centrist, and moderate conservative approaches fascist. Really conservative is off the spectrum.

But this president deserves to be criticized. Sharply. By anyone who believes in limited, constitutional government.
First, George W. Bush, despite laudable personal and family characteristics, is remarkably incurious and ill read. Gut instincts can carry even a gifted politician only so far. And a lack of knowledge leaves him vulnerable to simplistic remedies to complex problems, especially when it comes to turning America into the globe’s governess.


Second, despite occasional exceptions, the Bush administration, backed by the Republican-controlled Congress, has been promoting larger government at almost every turn. Its spending policies have been irresponsible, and its trade strategies have been destructive. The president has been quite willing to sell out the national interest for perceived political gain, whether the votes sought are from seniors or farmers. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 encouraged the administration to push into law civil-liberties restrictions that should worry anyone, whether they are wielded by a Bush or a Clinton administration.


The president and his aides have given imperiousness new meaning. Officials are apparently incapable of acknowledging that their pre-war assertions about Iraq’s WMD capabilities were incorrect; indeed, they resent that the president is being questioned about his administration’s claims before the war. They are unwilling to accept a role for Congress in deciding how much aid money to spend.


Some of Bush’s supporters have been even worse, charging critics with a lack of patriotism. Not to genuflect at the president’s every decision is treason. In two decades of criticizing liberal politicians and positions, I have rarely endured the vitriol that was routinely spewed by conservatives when I argued against war with Iraq over the last year. Conservative papers stopped running my column; conservative Web sites removed it from their archives. That was their right, of course, but they demonstrated that it was not just the Clintons who were fair-weather friends.


The friggen Cato Institute when you asked for one righty. That's checkmate in one move, you really suck at this game.

 

[ginwilly]

There has been a movement from the right that was appalled at the republican party in the aftermath of 9/11 but we were ignored.

When the things we warned about started happening people joined our cause and gave it names. When Sarah Palin joined the crazies tagged along and the circus came to town.

This doesn't change the fact that many many people on the right have been against the massive expansion of government, the runaway spending and borrowing, the lies, the intrusion into our lives and infringement of rights before Obama

For you and Cheesus to say the only reason we are complaining now is because there is a black man in office shows your ignorance, and well, fuck you for that. You guys were complaining with us until the black man was in office doing it. What's that say about you? Are you afraid to treat the black man the same way you do a white man? Of course you are, you've admitted that we shouldn't. "yeah, but because...."

decent, but i asked for the tea party from 12/2007-11/2008, not the cato institute (glad to hear you admit they are nothing but a right wing cheerleader of the party though).

and there is nothing in the RIU archives remotely close to what we are seeing here nowadays.

wanna know why? it's because the tea party is nothing but an astroturf organization. just like with benghazi, you guys need to be told what to be angry about and what to bitch about. yet history records none of the same (fake) outrage from similar events in the past.

so transparent, so pathetic, such followers you guys are.
