Tea Party n-word sign rebounds

[icymist]

Dale Robertson, who claims to be the "president and founder" of the Tea Party might not be able to spell very well, but he sure knows how to offend. Robertson owns TeaParty.org, an online clearinghouse for conservative rhetoric that aims to turn America away from the alleged brink of socialism. As the Tea Party gears up for a "national strike" on January 20 to protest the one-year anniversary of Barack Obama's inauguration as president, a photo of Robertson on the Houston Tea Party's website taken nearly a year ago equates his movement to one of the most painful times in American history -- the slavery of African-Americans. Robertson holds a sign reading, “Congress = Slaveowner, Taxpayer = Niggar.”

If you are thinking this is the sort of sign an uneducated person in America's hinterland might fly, think again. Robertson, a military veteran, also claims on his site to have "extended training in theology, as well as excelling in the field of Engineering at Southwest College, San Diego, California. He went on to earn a second degree in Political Science at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington."

1. Do you think he means "extensive" training in theology?

And speaking of theology, what part of the Bible authorizes us to use the word "nigger" even if it's spelled wrong?

Final thought: if you study engineering at Southwest College in San Diego, can you truly be said to excel in that field?

2. His "extended" training involved reading the epistles

of Paul twice.

3. Extended is the correct term. He had to take the class eight times before finally passing it.

4. Ah, so he's only PRETENDING to be brain-dead racist moron

Very clever. Sure had us fooled.

5. "Talking down," as it were.

6. Dude can make any claim he wants

That doesn't make it so. Anyone can write a fake bio.

Doesn't matter. He knows that his little sign was disgusting. So much so that he tried to cover it up with the world's crappiest PhotoShop MS Paint job ever:
