The Teabaggers, by their silence, PROVE they are RACISTS regarding the Arizona Immigration law

[zulchzulu]

Just barely a week ago, the Teabaggers were out protesting against the government intruding in their lives and felt there was a creeping government takeover of their rights as citizens to be able to live out their lives, albeit as free-loading jackasses who don't want to pay taxes but want all the benefits.



With the draconian, unconstitutional Arizona immigration law passed that essentially tells the police to knock down the door, arrest on suspicion and even be sued if they don't comply with the law in regards to BROWN PEOPLE, the Teabaggers (as they should have been protesting the Patriot Act and other Bush policies) have remained silent. Quiet. Not a goddamn peep.

It can only be a confirmation that the whole reason why the Teabaggers hate Obama is because he has brown skin. If they had any tangible, consistent set of principles, they would have had their supposedly strong grassroots efforts out in support of fellow Americans that were being accused of guilt before innocence.

Freedomworks.com, Sarah Palin and Dick Armey, if they had a molecule of intelligence in their craniums, would have made a statement about the draconian law. After all, the government was picking on people based on their skin, let alone their dissent.

Why have they been silent? They are scum-sucking racists. Game. Set. Match.

[jenmito]

Exactly. What's the most glaring hypocrisy is they always call Obama "Hitler" yet when

a law takes effect that has rules that uses language Hitler/his men actually USED, "Let me see your papers," they are silent (or even FOR it).

[leeloo]

1. The state and the Federal Government are two different things,but continue

on with your rant..

[jenmito]

2. What does that have to do with anything? Are you sticking up for the teabaggers? n/t

[jberryhill]

8. LOL.. Teabaggers are against fascist FEDERAL gov't

They lurves fascist STATE gov't

[leeloo]

14. I believe the tea baggers are pissed at the Federal Gov not States.

[jenmito]

16. That makes NO sense. So you think they're ok with 50 mini-Hitlers? n/t

[leeloo]

18. I am sorry i have no idea what you are talking about?

[jenmito]

22. You think teabaggers don't care about STATE govts. asking for people's "papers"-taking

away people's "freedoms" like Hitler did.

[leeloo]

25. GODWIN...

[jenmito]

26. What ABOUT GODWIN? n/t

[leeloo]

27. Google is your friend....

[jenmito]

28. I'm not going to google Godwin. You posted the name-YOU tell me what you meant by it. n/t

[leeloo]

29. I don't want to play anymore you are no fun..Bye

[jenmito]

30. You've been here a couple weeks. I'm not playing games with you. Just tell me what you meant.

[WheelWalker]

37. I've had the same frustration.

It'll either get better or it won't. We'll see.

[Bobbie Jo]

35. How convenient.

Sadly, they really don't know WHAT they're pissed about. Beyond what is obvious to the rest of us, that is.

[Cha]

5. The OP knows that and doesn't need your

permission to call out the hypocrisy of the ignorant teabaggers.

[jberryhill]

9. I see... So if citizenship is determined by federal law, then, um..

...what's your point?

[Lilyeye]

19. So?

They can't protest against the state government either? Esp when those rights (they oh so love to protect) are being taken from others?

[political_Dem]

3. You hit the nail on the head.

By the way they've been "hollering" about being oppressed by the government, one would think that they would be the first out of the gate protesting this draconian action "by the government".

This certainly does prove that the Teabagging movement is one of racism and not legitimate government protest.

Yes, especially notice that Palin has not found anything wrong with the law while other RNC toadies have all of a sudden "done an about face" when finding mass revulsion at this horrible legislation.

But then again, Caribou Barbie might be in the throes of orgasmic passion at such a Nazi-like law. This is probably right up her alley--knowing that she has never revoked her ties to a separatist group.

4. Confirmation: as if we needed it.

A new survey by the University of Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality offers fresh insight into the racial attitudes of Tea Party sympathizers. “The data suggests that people who are Tea Party supporters have a higher probability”—25 percent, to be exact—”of being racially resentful than those who are not Tea Party supporters,” says Christopher Parker, who directed the study. “The Tea Party is not just about politics and size of government. The data suggests it may also be about race.”

Surveyers asked respondents in California and a half dozen battleground states (like Michigan and Ohio) a series of questions that political scientists typically use to measure racial hostility. On each one, Tea Party backers expressed more resentment than the rest of the population, even when controlling for partisanship and ideology. When read the statement that “if blacks would only try harder, they could be just as well off as whites,” 73 percent of the movement’s supporters agreed, while only 33 percent of people who disapproved of the Tea Party agreed. Asked if blacks should work their way up “without special favors,” as the Irish, Italians, and other groups did, 88 percent of supporters agreed, compared to 56 percent of opponents. The study revealed that Tea Party enthusiasts were also more likely to have negative opinions of Latinos and immigrants.

10. It was always more than obvious at Teatard events I observed

The overwhelming evidence was that racism was the "unifying force" behind this so-called movement. Why wear a Klan robe when you can display a sign that demeans Obama as a "bro", a "niggar"* or other messages that promote racism.

[olegramps]

12. Why would you find it surprising that they oppose Obama:

Every Tea Bagger knows he is a Muslim, dirty foreigner born in Kenya, to a welfare single mom who drove a Cadillac and sold her food stamps to buy booze and forged his birth certificate to get ADC.

[havocmom]

6. Yep. If it were a DEM legislative body passing a law where white guys would get hassled

they would be loading up trucks with fertilizer and other things.

[lunatica]

11. They're showing their true colors

They hate brown and black skin and yellow too I imagine. Color is everything to them as they constantly show their true colors. The obvious is obvious. We don't need to read anything profound into their behavior. It's simply racism.

15. a little help here?

[Lilyeye]

20. I love this! lol

[flpoljunkie]

17. You betcha!

[slackmaster]

21. Everything is all about race now

:eyes:

[ShortnFiery]

23. Yes, and the idea that these small clutches of teabaggers have their hands on the reigns of power

is so damn absurd. If people would spend half as much energy perusing EXACTLY what they will include with regard to this "financial reform" our situation may be improved.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't TRUST my legislators to always do the right thing by the people before the corporations.

[BlooInBloo]

31. The teabaggers thank you for your help. In all the 11 states that (currently) have similar Jim Crow

laws under consideration.

It would never be possible, but for people like you, who pretend that it isn't happening. Excellent work. Keep it up.

Utah
Require immigrants to carry proof of status, require law enforcement officers to question anyone they believe is in the country illegally, and target employers who hire or transport undocumented immigrants.

Legislation still has to be drafted, but Rep. Stephen Sandstorm (R) claims he “has the support to do it.”


Georgia
Nathan Deal (R), who is running for Governor, wants to propose legislation that mirrors Arizona’s.

Tentatively pending Deal’s election.


Colorado

Today, Colorado gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis (R) said that if he were governor, he would seek to pass something “very similar” to what Arizona enacted.

Tentatively pending McInnis’ election.


Maryland
State Delegate Pat McDonough (R) “plans to start sending a survey to every candidate for the General Assembly — along with the candidates for governor — asking them whether they agree with Arizona’s approach.”

McDounough’s survey will start being circulated this week as he hopes to “know who is in favor of the Arizona bill and who is not” by this summer.


Ohio Butler County Sheriff Rick Jones and Ohio Rep. Courtney Combs (R) sent a letter to Gov. Ted Strickland asking him “to employ” his “leadership role” “to assure legislation is passed that will mirror” Arizona’s. Strickland’s press person says he “hasn’t had an opportunity to review Arizona law” and is concerned it might be unconstitutional.


North Carolina Local anti-immigrant groups claim that lawmakers have told them that “the chances similar legislation will be filed here is over 95%.” The same groups also concede that such legislation wouldn’t “get far” in their state.


Texas
Republican state Rep. Debbie Riddle of Tomball says she plans to push for a law similar to Arizona’s.

Riddle says she will introduce the measure in the January legislative session.


Texas
Farmers Branch, a Dallas suburb of 30,000 people, passed an ordinance written by IRLI lawyer Kris Kobach which would prevent landlords from renting houses or apartments to undocumented immigrants.

Last month, a U.S. District judge ruled the ordinance unconstitutional. IRLI is helping Farmers Branch repeal the District judge decision.


Missouri
The state legislature is considering a law, likely written by Kobach, that would make it unlawful for any person to conceal, harbor, transport, or shelter “illegal aliens” and would also make it a crime for undocumented immigrants to transport themselves.

The bill has been referred to the Missouri House International Trade and Immigration Committee.


Oklahoma
Restrict the ability of undocumented immigrants to obtain IDs or public assistance, give police authority to check the status of anyone arrested, and make it a felony to knowingly provide shelter, transportation or employment to the undocumented.

After IRLI filed an amicus brief in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in support of HB 1804, the court refused to reconsider its decision that prohibits Oklahoma from enforcing two of the main parts of HB 1804.


Nebraska
Residents in Fremont Nebraska likely will vote in July on a proposed ordinance to ban the “harboring,” hiring and renting to undocumented immigrants.

Last Friday, the Nebraska Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s ruling that there was no authority to stop an election on the ordinance following a petition filed by Kobach.

24. You seriously don't see the hypocrisy of the teabaggers claiming our freedoms are being

taken away and their silence on the issue of legal immigrants' freedoms being taken away??? What reason could it be OTHER THAN race? :eyes:

[zulchzulu]

32. I've seen the TeaTards and they are indeed racist asshats...

... with little understanding of reality and with a lot of evidence that they are on the government dole while claptrapping that they hate the government.

In terms of the gene pool, let's just say most of them are not the sharpest drawers in the blade. Their driveway doesn't make it to the street. They are a dime short of a nickel.

[ItNerd4life]

33. You, are not Spock. You're logic is so full of holes, it's scary.

The Arizona law mimics the national law. How is that racist?

Did you read the law and compare the wording to the 4th ammendment? obviously not.

Name calling shows you don't have an intelligent come back, so you lose any argument when you resort to that.

[zulchzulu]

36. The law is fricking UNCONSTITUTIONAL, teatard n/t

[TheKentuckian]

34. They proved better long ago.

Tea parties=laissez faire Klan rallies

There is nothing else to it besides corporate sponsorship, Faux promotion, and Republican assimilation.

[zulchzulu]

38. Funny how a Teatard parade gets hours and hours of coverage...unlike the May Day protests

OK, so 10,000 people is more than 500,000 people when you do the Palin math...

:crazy:

[old mark]

39. Well, they really didn't have to PROVE it...again and again...

they have clearly been racist since they began their "movement". I don't think there are very many people who require any more proof at this stage...
