Republicans are foaming at the mouth over Wisconsin demonstrations

b

Republicans don't want citizens to take on the man.

Glen Beck Characterizes Union Protests As "Riots" And "Uprisings." Obenshain: Wisconsin Teacher Protests Are "Reminiscent Of Greece."

On the February 16 edition of his radio show, Glenn Beck stated of union protests: "You are about to see this president start embracing the uprisings in this country.

You are going to see him embrace the teachers unions and all of the unions that are marching on thestreets." Beck later characterized the protests as "riots in the streets."

[Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program, 2/16/11]

Beck Cites WI Protests To Claim That "Evil [Is] Spreading Around The Globe."

On the February 16 edition of his Fox News show, Beck stated that protests in Madison, WI, as well as in the Middle East and Mexico are part of "evil spreading around the globe."

[Fox News' Glenn Beck, 2/16/11]

Malkin: Protesters "Stormed" Capitol For Demonstration; Teachers Used Students As "Kiddie Human Shields."

In a February 16 post about protests in Wisconsin, Michelle Malkin wrote that the SEIU "and its allies stormed in for a sleepover protest" at the state Capitol
building.

She later wrote of teachers staging a protest: "Kiddie human shields become kiddie sacrificial lambs." In a later post, Malkin
called the protesters "union thugs."

Malkin On Fox: Protesters Engaging In "Thuggery."
On February 17, Malkin took her attacks on the union protesters to Fox & Friends, stating,

If this brave Republican governor can stand up to the immense amount of power and thuggery, essentially, by these unions, it bodes very well for other states.b

[Fox News' Fox & Friends, 2/17/11]

FBN's Byrnes: Protests Could "Borderline ... Get Violent."

On the February 16 edition of Fox Business' Varney & Co., Tracy Byrnes stated
that protests in Wisconsin are "actually, borderline gonna get violent, it sounds like." Byrnes later stated:

I for one hope they lose. I hope they lose. I hope they stick their ground and the unions lose in the end.

[Fox Business' Varney & Co., 2/16/11]

Obenshain: Wisconsin Teacher Protests Are "Reminiscent Of Greece."

On the February 16 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Republican strategist Kate Obenshain stated:

We see something that's going on, say, in Wisconsin, where they have the rallies for the teachers, where teachers are yanking kids out of the classrooms and calling in sick -- totally lying - which is reminiscent of Greece and England.

[Fox News' Hannity, 2/16/11]

RedState: "Leftist Union Bosses Also Know They May Be Losing Their
Grip On Taxpayers' Throats And They Are Desperate To Keep It There."

A February 17 post on RedState discussed the union protests in Wisconsin, as well as others in Ohio and Indiana, and stated:

As labor activists strategize for 'class war,' Leftist union bosses also know they may be losing their grip on taxpayers' throats and they are desperate to keep it there. They're not going to let go easily either.

[RedState.com, 2/17/11]

This funny because the GOP was so supportive of the Tea Party protests that were organized by the Republican Party.

Now a spontaneous demonstration arose because a dictatorial governor issues a decree and thren threatens to call out the National Guard if anyone resists,  the shoe is on the other foot.

Why does Fox News go schizoid? It believes the GOP owns America and doesn't want union folks messing with their man.

Urantian Sojourn: The Tea Party Angy Mob toy

 Click on this little beauty to see the Tea Party signs

Urantian Sojourn outdid itself on this one.  The artist must have spent a lot of time on this. The Rightardia staff was rolling in the isles when we found the graphic.

The toy is made by RepubCo, as as seen on Fox News. The disclaimer at he bottom is hilarious. Check out the tiny signs!

It's funny to listen to the right wing pundits dismiss the huge demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt, when these same wingnuts promoted The Angry Mob of the Tea Party which was far smaller.

As The Urantian Sojourn put it:

In free enterprise America, you can go shopping for and purchase an angry mob.  I don’t mean just a few “action figures,” either.  I mean an enormous, angry, malleable mob of real people.  Just ask Dick Armey and the Koch Brothers.

“The Mob” as they like to call themselves, have become the living, breathing toys of the super-rich;  cuzz nothing beats the thrill of manipulating 20 to 30% of the population through fear and hatred in an effort to further entrench yourself behind power, bigotry, and obscene amounts of personal wealth.

Carl Palidino makes the Lt Saloon comics page

Carl Palidino claimed his opponent, Andrew Cuomo, was having an affair.

The next day, the 64-year-old candidate nearly came to blows with a New York Post editor asked Palodino to prove his acustation. Paladino said:

I'll take you out, buddy," the candidate said in an exchange recorded on cellphone video.

Tea Partiers upset about 'People of Wal-Mart web site

This web site hits close too close to the Tea-Party home.

If you look close, you will find conservative USENET drones, Patriot Games, Eddie Haskell, and Soft Sofa's, pictures on this web site.

Rightardia saw the precursor of this web site as pictures in a long email that went viral.

A picture is, indeed, worth a 1000 words or even a 1000 Tea Bags.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Tea Party 'revolt' looks like a pity party to me

April 17, 2010
BY NEIL STEINBERG Sun-Times Columnist

'Chicago Tax Day Tea Party," read the colorful card handed to me as I emerged from Union Station into the soft, summery day Thursday.

"Liberty" it continued, in spidery, colonial-era script. "Constitutional Principles. Fiscal Responsibility." Then, in bright-red type -- the blood of patriots, no doubt -- "Repeal it! Replace Congress." And finally: "Chicago. Daley Plaza. 12:00 Noon."

I entered Daley Center Plaza. Elvis' "It's Now or Never" burbled muddily from loudspeakers. There seemed about . . . and this is sensitive, so I'll tread carefully . . . 500 protesters, though the Tribune estimated 1,000 and the Sun-Times called it "thousands. . . "

Radio host Cisco Cotto led singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Or tried to. The response was a murmur, and I turned to look around -- most mouths were set in a grim line. One speaker said this was a happy movement, but they sure didn't look happy.

"Keep it respectful" read a yellow sign a lady carried, and there was obvious effort to rein in the excesses of previous Tea Party rallies across the country, despite the taunts of counter-protesters.

"Keep the rich rich!" chanted some young men. "Take my freedom!"

A round man in a straw hat carried a sign: "We Gave Peace a Chance and We Got 9/11" with "Peace" crossed out and replaced with "Hope" and "9/11" replaced by "Ft. Hood."

"So you don't think the Fort Hood massacre was the isolated act of a lone disturbed individual?" I asked, by way of starting conversation.

"No, I do not!" he said, fleeing. A common reaction. They want media attention, so long as it is not on themselves personally. I drifted over to a counter-protester, a young man in an aluminum foil hat.

"I've used tinfoil hats as metaphor," I said. "But I've never seen anyone actually wearing one . . . "

"Why don't you talk to the actual Tea Party members!" demanded another man, swooping in.

"OK," I said, trying to disarm him with my boyish smile. "Why don't I talk to you? What would you like to say?"

He turned and fled, at a trot.

Onstage, less tax, less tax, less tax. Clear enough. Though sometimes it seemed the Partiers hadn't actually thought about what they were saying. Someone began reading an analysis of the Pledge of Allegiance that has circulated on the Internet for years.

"I," he read. "Me; an individual; a committee of one . . ."

"We want our country back," they said. But who has taken it? There were taxes and debt before. What is different is Barack Obama, and his central difference. . . .

"I don't give a damn that Obama is black," read a sign held by a man in a Soviet greatcoat. "It scares the hell out of me that he is red."

What to make of all this? Of the yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flags and tri-cornered hats? I could probably work up indignation at the co-opting of revolutionary icons. Our founding fathers were risking their lives, signing their names boldly across acts of treason, and these guys can't even put their names behind their vague complaints.

But, to be honest, I found the whole thing harmless. Just because they've adopted the self-inflating rhetoric of revolt that so inflames every Saturday afternoon Young Communist League pep rally doesn't make them a genuine threat to anybody.

My feeling was, heck, if staging public gripe fests gives these people something to do, then great. It's outside. It involves handicrafts, the making of signs and costumes. It's like Scouting for irked middle-aged white people.

As to whether this is an actual grass-roots moment, or a sham orchestrated by larger interests, well, after the rally I pulled out that large card I had been handed when I got off the train. Stiff cardboard stock. Four-color. Glossy. Expensive, like something J.B. Pritzker printed up when he was running for Congress. A real grass-roots movement would use colored copier paper from Kinkos.

Despite all the talk of the American Revolution, the era of history they really evoke, at least to me, is the America First, the isolationist organization started in Chicago in 1940.

Like the Tea Party, the America First was also conservative, nativist, at odds with both parties, since Democrats and Republicans wanted to help the English stand up to Mr. Hitler, which America First found a waste of our beloved money.

Like the Tea Party, the America First gloried in huge rallies, featuring its own populist star, Charles Lindbergh, and mistook these displays for actual significance. America Firstism vanished on Dec. 7, 1941, and was promptly forgotten.

And while I would never be so bold as to predict the same fate for the Tea Party, it wouldn't surprise me either.

The Other 95 per cent protest the Tea Party

The Tea Partiers are being countered by a new group called "The Other 95%." This group demonstrated in  D.C. on Thursday to protest "right across from Tea Party rally."

"Obama passed 25 separate tax cuts," Sheryl Stein, founding member of "The Other 95%" said in a statement announcing the group's plans, "including $300 billion in middle class tax cuts -- one of the largest in history - as part of the stimulus package. 

Unlike President Bush's 2001 tax cuts, which went to the wealthiest 2.2%, President Obama's tax cuts overwhelmingly benefit working and middle class families -- in fact, 95% of all Americans."
Here's the group's Facebook page.

A Saturday on the Fringe: Scenes from the Right's Rallies in Nevada and Florida

Rightrdia chuckles when it sees this sort of right wing rhetoric.  Latley we've heard a lot of righties tlaking about the constitional rights being violated, but they rarely identify which specific right that is.

Glen Beck talks about hammering on the anvil of truth which is quite abstract. What truth are you talking about, Glen? I was wating for Beck to pull out a sickle, too, in his dog and pony show.

Most of this right wing demagoguery is high on style , but low on facts. There is lots of emotion, but little content. it has been this way in US politics for along time.

Fox News continues to broadcast misleading propaganda

Did Sarah Palin experience some big crowds at her book signing?Yes, at least 1500 people showed up for one of her book signings in Michigan.

Fox News host Gregg Jarrett proudly announced that Sarah Palin is “continuing to draw huge crowds while she’s promoting her brand new book.

But the pictures that the network chose to display on-air were old file footage of Palin rallies from the 2008 presidential campaign. Individuals in the crowd are seen holding McCain/Palin signs, and others are holding pom-poms and cheering wildly. “There’s a crowd of folks,” an enthused Jarrett observed, referring to the old footage.

You can even see the Teleprompter in this video. The is the second time this has happened in two weeks. Jon Stewart of Comedy Central caught Fox News using old video of the 9/12 Teabagger rally in another rally the day the Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 was passed in the House. Fox News has constantly overestimated the size of the TeaBagger crowds.

Fox news: Hannity admits Comedy Central was right about the TeaBag rally

Sean Hannity, Fox news admitted there was an "inadvertent error' when a recent video showed had footage from a much larger Tea Bagger rally on Sept. 12. Fox News claimed the rally, whuch was conducted the day the Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 passed the House, was attended by 20,000 to 40,000 people. The actual rally was attended by 8,000 to 10,000 people. Fox News did not retract the data on the rally's size that was clearly incorrect.

Wingnuts of the Week

Bill Maher said America is a stupid country because Sarah Palin could be elected president. Rightardia thinks a better case for a stupid America would be the election of George W. Bush for two terms. We are not convinced that Sarah Palin will ever be elected president.

We have noticed lots of stupid white people at Tea Bag protests and at recent town hall meetings on health care.We don't think America is a stupid country because of the actions of a minority of ditto heads, racists and right wing extremists. We also don't underestimate the ability of organized ignoramuses to win elections.

If America was a stupid country, it would have elected John McCain as the 44th president. 

As John Staurt Mill stated:

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
