Great Moments in Teabagger Tolerance (tolerance for misspelling racial slurs, that is).

‘N-Word’ Sign Dogs Would-Be Tea Party Leader

Dale Robertson, a Tea Party activist who operates TeaParty.org, is getting stung for an old photo — taken at the Feb. 27, 2009 Tea Party in Houston — in which he holds a sign reading “Congress = Slaveowner, Taxpayer = Niggar.”

After the ResistNet listerv promoted “Liberty Concerts” to be held by TeaParty.org, a source passed on this photo of Robertson, after the jump.



I emailed Robertson’s group for comment, but haven’t heard back yet. Here’s the email that was sent from ResistNet to members of its list.

Tea Party Taking The Next Step

“We are setting the tone for taking back America with Liberty Concerts. We are not waiting until the first quarter of the year, we have already begun.” Dale Robertson, President and Founder of the Tea Party – TeaParty.org

‘Liberty Concerts’ is a venue designed to be the key to create a model for our Nation to Take Back America. The Tea Party does not intend to waste their time simply rallying. The Plan is to optimize the events, they will be fun and Citizens will be asked to run for office, with the focus of Restoring America, and thus, putting it on the Conservative track.

And that looks like his SECOND draft of the sign (not how he taped another piece of paper over the bottom).

I wonder what it said before he changed to to "Niggar?"

1. We should join ranks with them!

10. No, but we should understand that anger at a gov't not responding

to the people it serves is the root of the anger on both sides of the aisle. Now ours is based on reality, while their's is based on whatever propaganda Beck, Limbaugh, et al have managed to convince them of - but if they understood the truth about how they get used for Big Business, they'd still be just as angry, it would be directed better.

The racist shit isn't going to go away for a while, but it's partly that same anger that causes that fear of others. Too many in my family have found it easier to blame their shortages in life due to things like affirmative action rather then their own short-comings. And there will always be those who use that anger to fuel their own personal power - be it a KKK leader, bad manager at work or someone like Palin.

But I do think recognizing that most of the anger is really directed at the same thing is a way of opening a dialogue to begin to get them to understand why they stand on the wrong side of ever having meaningful change in their life

2. Nice "Man of Faith" hat, dude

:eyes: Who would Jesus hate?

And WHY would any thinking progressive want to form alliances with these people?! :wtf:

If I had time, money and inclination, I would publish a photo essay on Palinites, PUMAs and Teabaggers, and their wonderful protest signs.

4. LOL...I totally missed the hat.

[Electric Monk]

3. The hat really completes the outfit. "Man of Faith"

Nice job representing Christianity so well.

6. I like the way the "MF" stands out.

one could draw a different conclusion from that.

9. "People who annoy me"

BZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!

[Initech]

11. ...

:rofl:

[name not needed]

12. "niggar" looks like it was tacked on there at the last minute

which leads me to believe he misspelled it twice :rofl:

[formercia]

13. ... and it took too much mental effort to make a new sign.

Just think, the new one might have had even more errors.

15. It's just not a tea party until the white hoods come down

Oh, and then, liberals get accused of playing the "race card" the next day.
