Oh Brother… Where to begin… My understanding of the “Tea Party” is that it was started to express outrage at Government spending and taxation deemed out of control. Why this only popped up once Obama was in office and not during the Bush years when the spending was out of control is beyond me. Please don’t suggest its because he’s black. THAT WOULD BE CRAZY!
Anyway, so there are a lot of these forums out in sigh-berspace but I chose this one for no particular reason. Its full of the usual nonsense that you find on the White Power sites. Especially sad is their constant pining for the “good old days” which are invariably the 1950’s & 60’s. Equally sad is the seemingly endless amount this junk is driven by religious dogma and just the same flailing to hold onto a bygone way of life. All this culminates in the most delicious nonsensical rage possible.
Enough dissecting this nonsense. Won’t you please enjoy Lou Reads the Forums of Tea Party Nation…
Bonus material:Â I had to join this horrible Tea Party site for the next episode of my podcast. This lady sent me a video with the following message:
I’m new to TPN so I thought I would start trying to get to know like-minded folks on here. A friend of mine, who’s a comedienne, and I are “underground” Conservatives in Hollywood…that can be a real treat as I’m sure you can imagine! Nice to e-meet you! If you’re on Facebook as well, check out The Right View Undercover and if you’d like to have a laugh, here’s our video we shot at a Union march/rally downtown LA!
I defy you to have a laugh at anything in this video… All the classic reasons why Conservative humor falls flat.
Uuuugh, I feel slimy just by hearing that carp being read.
Kudos to you for being able to climb those walls of utter ramblings.
As a Brit this stuff is absolutely fascinating. We have our right-wing looney toons here but (bar one or two marginal figures) the warped ‘Christian’ stuff isn’t part of it.
Amuses me how none of these people own a dictionary or have any knowledge of their national history!
In this country we had a mob turn up with placards outside the house of a paediatrician – so I’m not just having a go at the US!
