Tea Party Leader Warns GOP Pols: We're 'Turning Our Guns' On You
US News | Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 11:38:30 am PST

Man. This is just classic. The Washington Times reports that “tea party leader” Dale Robertson is warning the GOP that the teabaggers are “turning their guns” on Republicans who aren’t far enough to the right.

A founder of the Tea Party movement said Wednesday he had a warning for Republican leaders: Back conservative candidates or else other states will suffer the same backlash that toppled Florida’s Republican Party chairman this week.

“We are turning our guns on anyone who doesn’t support constitutional conservative candidates,” said Dale Robertson, who operates TeaParty.org out of Houston and helped start the movement nearly two years ago.

He declined to say which states are next on the Tea Party’s hit list. He said party leaders in those states would be warned privately, but the movement’s wrath “will be very clear publicly” if they don’t listen.

“If they continue to do things like they did in Florida, it’s not going to be good for them,” Mr. Robertson said. “If they don’t get that and their party chairmen don’t get that, they are going to be ostracized.”

If the name “Dale Robertson” sounds familiar, it’s because we featured him just last Monday, for showing up at the February 2009 tea party in Houston with this sign:



The Washington Times doesn’t mention this little embarrassing incident, of course.

These are the people who think they have the GOP by the short and curlies. And the sad, pathetic fact is that … they do.

1. Fire away boys

Hopefully a real live example of a fringe group destroying a major party for not being pure enough will point out the silliness of trying to do the same on our side.

2. "NIGGAR"?

5. Oh my...

Life imitates art.

[Arkana]

13. Dave Chappelle was truly a visionary.

[Duke Newcombe]

12. Brought to you from the "MORAN" sign makers n/t

[dogday]

23. Also from those who sponser the "Moran spelling software".

[jenmito]

3. I don't think "turning our guns" should be in quotes. They probably mean it

literally.

[Kolesar]

4. Congress members got death threats during the "immigration debate"

The short-lived "immigration debate" back when bushler was in the White House.

[jenmito]

9. Exactly. They obviously will literally turn their guns on

anyone who disagrees with them.

[Bitwit1234]

17. I agree with you there. I think everyone should watch out for these creeps

they will turn their guns on anyone who stands in their way for sure.

[southernyankeebelle]

6. Wow what threats he makes. These guys call liberals nazi, commies. I

say he is project his teabaggers. Don't you all. Yes keep pushing them to the far right. So far right they fall off the cliff. Not every state is like crazy FL.

[StreetKnowledge]

7. Yikes.

If that's the future of the GOP, no wonder we have to deal with the God damned Blue Dogs, if that is the alternative I'm not surprised some conservatives choose to be a Dem.

[WeDidIt]

8. Between the inmates running the asylum in the GOP

and their money woes, those who claim the GOP will make major inroads this year are probably full of shit.

[CakeGrrl]

10. And those who don't recognize the underpinnings of the GOP and do nothing

at the voting booth to counteract it will reap whatever may be sown.

I'm tired of hearing all the doom and gloom about low Dem turnout. If they don't get off their asses of their own free will to counteract these nuts, then that's their fault.

If they don't think the current Administration is any better than these extremist loons, then that's on them.

But low voter turnout isn't anyone's responsibility but the people who are too passive to go to the polls.

[fl_dem]

11. let the implosion begin

I'll get my lawn chair, Miller Lite and popcorn!

[LiberalFighter]

14. I hope the teabaggers do make the GOP increasingly far right.

Will the teabaggers be foolish enough to believe current GOPs will change their ways to better fit the wishes of the teabaggers?

Or will they line up challengers for anyone that doesn't line up behind them?

[LiberalFighter]

15. If the guy is so unhappy with his representation then why doesn't he run?

[Born_A_Truman]

16. Nice ...

This is the GOP legacy.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. juicy

[Randall Flagg]

19. I guess since they can't get their way with elections they're going to use guns?

Intimidate at the polls, threaten bodily harm and then scream for their convoluted idea of "democracy?"

I feel like I'm living in the twilight zone. Where's that young Dennis Hopper?

[mstinamotorcity]

20. Well those tea baggers are like

animals in the wild. they eat their own.they have an agenda and it has nothing to do with small government,big spending,government run health care,nor any of the other crazy things that they spit out their stagnant filled mouths.Anything that will de legitimize this President.and do any of these trolls use spell check?

[dogday]

24. From the Moran Spelling Software checker n/t

[Lucky Luciano]

21. White trash redneck piece of shit (re Dale Robertson) nt

[tanyev]

22. Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes, OK?

[zbdent]

25. why can't it be like the old joke ...

(inserting "teabagger" in place of alleged "dumb" ethnic group)

A teabagger comes home early from work (okay, the unemployment office).

Finds his wife in bed with another man.

Pulls out a gun, puts it to his own head.

His wife and the "other man" start laughing.

The teabagger says "SHUT UP! You're next!"
