During a speech at Inglewood High School, Rep. Waters said the following:
Yeah I know, I loved it too. However the Teabaggers themselves seem to have gotten their panties in a twist over the statement and have responded by complaining to....wait for it.....President Obama!
Courtesy of, who else, Fox News:
Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin, who lead the Tea Party Patriots, suggested President Obama should step in to put a check on the overheated rhetoric.
"We've had Democrats calling American citizens 'terrorists' and 'hostage takers,' and now an elected Democratic representative says that we can 'go straight to hell.' The president and all leaders of the Democratic Party, who have called for civility in the past, are neglecting to censure their own. Is civility only required from their opponents?" they asked in a statement. "Perhaps it's time for a new-NEW era of civility. ... The president's silence on these latest violations of civility has been deafening, but not surprising."
Really?
So let me see if I have this straight.
The Teabaggers have called this President every ugly name in the book, including a Socialist, a Muslim, a Communist, un-American, the Anti-Christ, and stated categorically that he hates this country, all while fanning the flames of racism, and he is supposed to just take it without complaint?
But when a politician who is angry at what she sees these treasonous bastards doing to her country expresses her first amendment rights, they go running to the very same President that they just spent the last three years vilifying to protect them?
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is random but I actually think if Bristol and Kyle's show actually shows the living situation of her, Kyle, her brother, Willow and a child, it could be incredibly entertaining. AND she has friends drop by.
ReplyDeleteI think the show is worth watching at least once. The combination of Alaskan and LA life.
They have no sense of irony.
ReplyDeleteThe tea party is similar to the religious right. They complain they are not treated fairly in the main stream media. The thing they simply do not understand is most people are not in agreement with them. Instead, they prefer to paint themselves as victims rather than looking inward and realizing their message is simply not important to most people.
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteYou've got me looking over my shoulder!! LOL
The TIFF post, NJ wife racist email and now this one.
Posting the Huff links and you go 'deeper' to source, as my connection is not fast and is a pain to some sites, but I feel like it's the Twilight Zone right now!! ROFL!!
.....and if there is a hell they will be there.
ReplyDelete5:26: I think the show is worth watching at least once. The combination of Alaskan and LA life.
ReplyDelete________________
You're joking, right? Perhaps that fairy tale will sell better in another forum.
Maxine Waters is right. The Tea Party is a bunch of racist nuts. All they do is call Obama names. When the tables are turned they cry like a bunch of babies. Go Maxine.

ReplyDeleteYeah just one "happy family" huh?

"Go to Hell," is heated rhetoric? I guess Ms. Waters should have said, "They can go to H-E-double hockey sticks!"
ReplyDeleteH/T to Rose Nyland
These damn teabaggers are unbelievable!
I always have liked her. And the funny thing is, they can't do a thing to her. Her district is secure, and they agree with her. So suck it, teabaggers. 'Bout time someone told you what most of us are thinking.
ReplyDeleteOnly one appropriate response - but since our President has too much class and respect for his position to say it, I'll oblige by saying it for him:
ReplyDeleteHey Teabaggers - go dunk yourselves!
1) Gryphen, you're on a roll today! Great stuff!
ReplyDelete2)This reminds me of those freshmen GOP representatives who held the news conference asking the President to stop everyone from criticizing the Ryan plan as killing Medicare. AFTER they were elected by claiming his health care plan would kill Medicare.
Hypocrits. . .
The teabaggers are fucking nutz!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's just like when they made all the nazi/Hitler analogies about Obama and got offended that their "free speech" was being infringed when people complained, but then they lost their tiny minds when a democrat dared to use the same comparisons on THEM.
ReplyDeleteI swear the right is entirely in a state of zero self awareness and infantile development arrest. They love to dish it out but can't take it when it's thrown back at them.
That's what I liked about Anthony Wiener and Alan Grayson. They could throw their own shit right back in their faces and they HATED that.
Bullies don't like it when their victims fight back.
5:26 ... you can't be serious.
ReplyDelete@5:26 pm:
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? A show about people who have done nothing and have empty lives doing meaningless crap like getting their nails done would "be worth watching"?
That's fucking pathetic. At least the Jersey Shore people are insane assholes who do irritating stupid crap and have the same entertainment value as a monkey cage at the zoo. (Though I still refuse to watch it or any other "reality" tv)
Bristol and her friends have no interest value at all. They aren't meaningful enough or dysfunctional and insane enough to be interesting in any way. Well, maybe if we saw the TRUE inner workings of the Palin family revealed, but that's never going to happen.
So if watching a sanitized fantasy of what Bristol wants you to think her life is like to promote her "brand" is "entertaining" to you, go for it. You have my sympathy.
Go, Maxine! Now it's time for the rest of the Dems to speak up.
ReplyDeleteanonymous 5:26
ReplyDeleteWhy would any intelligent person waste 5 minutes of their time watching Bristol? There are other things that actually mean something that you can do. Perhaps work to expose the Palins or work to reelect President Obama. Grow up.
Ohhhh, the poor babies are gonna run home and tell their Mummies on Maxine.
ReplyDeleteMaybe their mummies will come out and scold Maxine while the babies are hiding behind their mummie's apron.
Ohhhh, Poor Little Victim Baggers.
Boo Hoo
Whaaah, make her stop, she is picking on us make her stop! That lady doesn't like us, DAAAD, make her like us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fucking bunch of FUCKING WHINERS!!
Hey anonymous #1 random flight of ideas - no thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love Maxine - she's a fireball. I think it's worth noting the Notre Dame study highlighted on Hardball last week. Surprise - the tea partiers are just the worst of the right wing racist republicans - always been there, always will be.
I have always admired Maxine, her intelligence, strength, and ability to stand up for what she believes. I worked with her many years ago on a local election campaign in Central Los Angeles. She wasn't running for office herself at that time, but she was a politically active leader even then and a very memorable woman. I have always felt happy that I "knew her when" and have followed her career with pleasure. I love her no bullshit way of dealing with things.
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are bleeding from playing my tiny little violin for them. Perhaps they should try laying face down on the floor and beating their fists like the two-year-olds that they channel with their behavior.

Sarah, Bristol, Ram, Toad, Ivy Frye or whichever one of you who wrote the above, you are correct: that entire paragraph is RANDOM. So random that you could have kept it to yourself. You couldn't pay me to watch Brisdull Paylin. No talent, no personality and full of hate. That girl is about as interesting as a rusty nail (no offense to nails). Sorry, concern troll, we got better things to do with our life. Kim Kardashian, she ain't . Though with the chin job and all the other plastic surey, she really gave it a try.
The teap arty can kiss my natural black ass, go straight to hell & take stupid bitch from Wasilla with them.
ReplyDelete@5:26
ReplyDeleteI will watch the episode where Bristol and Willow discover that "once you go black, you never go back". That's the one I will Hulu.
Apparently only republicans are allowed to call republicans hostage-takers.
ReplyDelete“I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting. Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this -- it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming. And it focuses the Congress on something that must be done.”
- Mitch McConnell
Speaking of hell.....interesting that the GOP/baggers who are science deniers, cutting funding for diaster warnings, are getting the disasters in their ridings e.g
ReplyDeleteCantor,GOP in Joplin....you think they are getting the message or are they trying to drag us to hell with them.
Our ex-quitter governor has responded to a missile defense policy decision of the president's with a vignette about her governor ship and how much she supports missile defense. What an idiot. Missile defense in Alaska was and is a total joke what with our missiles in the interior being underwater http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=143990 and the rocket launching facility http://kodiaklaunchcomplex.blogspot.com/ a pork barrel fiasco. She, as governor, had no interest in either until she had to burnish her foreign policy badge. I have been wondering where she is attempting to create her alternate reality and it is here: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150203463153435

ReplyDelete@5;26 This is one of the funniest things I've ever read on this blog.
ReplyDeleteWhen facism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and waving a cross.
ReplyDeleteF--- the teabaggers. They CAN go straight to h---. I don't remember being so mad at such perverted ignorance. Makes me ashamed of my country. My husband was just in northern Europe, and the folks over there are gasping in disbelief at the nut-jobs on the right here. He heard more than once "are they crazy?"
ReplyDeleteMaxine is also holding job fairs in areas like Detroit...she is actually doing something to help the unemployed. Unlike the GOP, who wants to make sure they lose unemployment benefits that they paid for while they were working ASAP, lose their food stamps, and then their homes. Tell me, then what are they supposed to do? How about a plan, GOP? Something that targets people who DON'T make a million dollars a year in tax cuts? Something that actually helps the poor. You good Christians remember how your hero Jesus treated the poor, don't you? As equals. "It will be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven." So, if heaven is not your goal, what the f*** do you need all those millions stockpiled offshore for? |Time for some tax fairness. Time for people to give back to the nation that made them rich.
ReplyDeletegod forbid anyone but them exercise freedom of speech. i agree -- they can just go to hell.
ReplyDeleteFolks, don't forget that older posts may contain very interesting comments. Like the Nick Broomfield post from earlier today. The last few comments shouldn't be ignored.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.buzzfeed.com/donnad/todd-palin-admits-sarah-quit-governership-for-more
ReplyDeleteThe spokespersons for the Tea Party Patriots were complaining about Rep. Maxine Waters' remarks, however, their response was nearly unintelligible as they forgot to cut mouth holes in their sheets before they spoke.
ReplyDeleteAssholes, everyone of them.
OMG I see the Fairy Tale Troll is the first poster. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, did you notice how the Congresswoman was given a standing ovation for her "go to hell" remark? Good on her.
"...AND she has friends drop by."
ReplyDeleteBristol has friends? Who knew?
Rachel Maddow is Letterman's first guest tonight (Tuesday)-- don't miss it.
ReplyDeleteShe was Excellent!!!
@Anonymous @ 6:55
ReplyDelete^5 LOL!
Tell us what you REALLY think next time. :-)
5:26 pm troll...nice try
ReplyDeletebut I am not interested in getting to see Bristle have "friends drop by" to her crowded LA pad.
You so silly.
Here' the message back to the pee-baggers.....FUCK YOU....
ReplyDeleteSPOILER ALERT
ReplyDeleteHere is a short clip (Time 1:44) of Rachel Maddow's appearance on Letterman tonight (Tuesday)
If you can watch the show and see whole segment - I suggest you do it!! She had some good ones!!!
http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_show/video/?pid=_VPgBr6IDrLFa68NVsIDvSFvPag2ZDKU
Proof that their hypocrisy knows no bounds...
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget that the teabaggers are very low IQ group. When your "queen" has an IQ of 83, (that IS a matter of public record, not a "gotcha moment by the left wing media"), who do you think follows her?? Probably not rocket scientists....Now, add mental illness to this retardation of the mind and you get a pretty good idea of what these teapartiers are like. Now, add the evils of corporate america to the mix and you get a pretty good idea of what the future of this country will be like if we do not fight hard against all of this next year. BE PREPARED TO VOLUNTEER FOR 2012 LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTIONS: MAKE THE TIME AND DO IT!!! DONATE WHAT YOU CAN. Evil will prevail if a few good people do nothing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe last sentence of their prepared statement just sent me through the roof, "Perhaps it's time for a new era of civility..The President's silence on these latest violations of civility have been deafening, but not surprising." I am counting to ten.....someone needs to inform them of the wisdom of Ghandi...."Be the change you want to see in the world."
ReplyDeleteSo Maxine Waters isn't buying what they are selling, which is hate and bigotry....good for Maxine. Sometimes the truth hurts.
They want to restart the clock..great, it starts with them.
Although I would love to see them sit through a compilation of all the nastiness they have perpetrated and then explain why anyone should be concerned about their bruised and dented feelings.
They are fueled by fear and hatred and are weak and pathetic people.
And somehow God and religion in their twisted thinking sanctions this behavior and thinking.
They have gnawed my last nerve, I am with Maxine...go to F&%king hell.
Anon 5:26 Your life experiences and exposure must be as limited as your IQ.
ReplyDeleteBill
Repression fuels the revolution.
ReplyDelete"Is civility only required from their opponents?" they asked in a statement. "Perhaps it's time for a new-NEW era of civility."
ReplyDeleteOh, civility.....like Sarah Palin putting crosshairs on Democrats' names, using "reload" and other violent rhetoric, and shrieking "blood libel" when she gets called on the mat for it?
Whatever.
Hell may indeed be the direction these awful and confused people are heading.
ReplyDeleteWe must pray for them.
Christians fight against principalities and powers. And yes, the people under Satanic control such as the Teaparty people.

ReplyDelete-------
Here, I can give you a synopsis and save you the trouble.
Episode One: Bristol pretends to be abstinent. Wears 8 layers of clothing in LA, looks like an idiot. Ends up sleeping with some guy she met at a restaurant.
Episode Two: Bristol pretends to be abstinent. Wears 8 layers of clothing in LA, looks like an idiot. Ends up sleeping with some guy she met at a bar.
Episode Three: Bristol pretends to be abstinent. Wears 8 layers of clothing in LA, looks like an idiot. Ends up in a threesome with Kyle and some guy they met on the street.
Episode Four: Bristol pretends to be abstinent. Wears 8 layers of clothing in LA, looks like an idiot. Ends up sleeping with some guy she met at the grocery store and his girlfriend. Already pregnant with Sarah Palin's 4th grandchild but not sure who the daddy is.
Socialist is not an ugly word.
ReplyDeleteJust saying.
Kitchen Summit? The nerve of these unreal American's to take the conservative Kitchen Table imagery as their own. Everyone knows they just eat welfare snacks on the couch watching cable and texting on their expensive cell phones praising Obama for not taxing their bling.
ReplyDeleteMaxine is now as bad as Reverend Wright, time to pile on baggers.
[Sadly, I have to ad a [snark] note since it is well known that conservatives actually feel this way, whereas I am trying to use humor to deflect the hate and intolerance that's been so evident since the 2008 campaigns.]
Janet, that IQ info is photoshopped. That entire background report was debunked in 2008. I doubt that Sarah's real IQ is very high, but it is not 83.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the viewing "tip" Anon @5:26! "Incredibly entertaining" indeed!
ReplyDeleteI'll DVR Bristol's show!
**comes back**
Dang it! All of TLC's "Watching Paint Dry" and "The Life of an Alaskan Moose Turd" have already FILLED my DVR.
**Sads**sniff**
For real though, I'm really glad that REAL Americans are SPEAKING up at these Town Hall Meetings where they confront their Rethug Reps.
ReplyDeleteThe Tea Party is NOT organic- it's a Koch funded, racial-political-social-economic movement in one. And the movement is to further separate the poor, the minorities, the "other" from the American Dream that these Rich, White BusinessMEN believe is reserved for them, alone.
The teabaggers are racists and terrorists who belong in hell. Nothing wrong with her comment at all. In fact it was too mild. The tea party are cowards who can't take what they dish out. Too bad. Get over it you whiny babies. You make America sick. Why can't you love our country like a normal person? Domestic terrorists.
ReplyDeleteThe first post made me laugh...sure, Bristol's "reality" show is as real as everything else about that family.
ReplyDeleteI was curious though...you say "her brother" is going to be part of the show as well as "a child". I wasn't aware that Track had stooped so low...and I am wondering which "child" she is choosing to pimp out for this.
I figure this is the perk they threw to Willow to start her on her grifting career. She's been so jealous that her sister has been making all that money, so now she is being given the chance to be a super star too. Wonder how they are keeping her filthy mouth shut.
Sad, actually, that those two young black men are allowing themselves to be a part of this joke.
I absolutely loved the commenter at 3:23 giving us a synopsis of the shows so that we don't have to watch it.
Really...WHO in their right mind would think this show would be worth wasting valuable time from their lives...when they are dying, they will look back and regret those hours. It will NOT be "incredibly entertaining" and the only friends who will drop in will be paying customers.
5:26 I actually think that if the reality show shows the living conditions of the group that Levi might file for custody!! He should get a DNA test first, though.
ReplyDeletefuck those sniveling pieces of shit
ReplyDeleteBout time someone stood up and told them all to go to hell!
ReplyDeleteThey think they have the right to lay the "you are going to hell" judgment on the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteHey, it works both ways. Those of us who believe in Gospels and Beatitudes brand of Christianity think the kind of Old Testament brand of Christianity as not a savious but condemner, not as peace maker but as war monger is anti-Christianity (kind of like anti-Bellum and anti-Christ,also too.)
It is hard to justify a belief as Christian faith based on precepts that predate Christ's birth as being anything but politically contrived.
I'm with Maxine. The teatards can stick it in their ass!
ReplyDelete5:36 "This is random" Really? It's a "reality show" about a pro abstinance single mother from Alaska, who moved to Arizona with her son, then moved back to Alaska with her son, then moved to LA with her son, moved into a house with two african american single males who are "just friends".
ReplyDeleteAny of that sound "real" to you? Or "just random"?
Try stonger kool aid and heavy duty non stick reynolds wrap for your helmet next time. We don't buy stoopid here.
Go Maxine! She really rocks, in more ways than many people know.
ReplyDeleteTo the poor teabaggers on Fox News, give them all a corndog and tell them to google santorum...
The asswipes asking for less governement are begging for funds for the earthquake, from the Government! I wish I could day "Go to hell", but there are real people in their districts who need help, and I must bite my tongue. But the hypocrisy is blinding!
