The 'Tea-Party' movement went a bit hissy spit today in the US, using the 'N' word.

[Christine Murray]

Jesus, scratch the surface of the china cup civilities of the Tea-Party movement
and it appears that a bag of cats emerge, no doubt Ms Palin (queen of cookies
and scones) will put a positive spin to this.

There was :

i). Spitting
ii). Useage of the Ni'gger word
iii). Abuse

Sounds like a debacle more than a movement; but of course this is the
Huff Post, which proper conservatives would consider a rag (such blasphemy!)

Karl Rove reckons the tea-baggers are apolitical, I'd agree after all they don't seem
to have a bull's notion about basic political civility (though mostly politicos reckon they're
infiltrated by the GOP : http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201002160046 )

Lets scorn the tea baggers while we happily allow the elite continue with their depopulation program. When's the X factor back on?

[Oreo Livermore]

Who told you Palin was a teabagger, she is down in Arizona campaigning for John McCain.

If we analyze the pro and anti arguments based on the people making the arguments no progress would be made ever. Let's look at the arguments.

[Christine Murray]

I didn't say she was there (bejayzhus) but she is quite clearly associated with the movement.

any comment on the spitting? One of the congressmen says he hasn't met such
viciousness since the civil rights movement and thats saying something. If they
cannot behave they they should take their wee china cups off to the patio
and fume silently away.

The teabaggers are a very diverse group. I am sure there are plenty of homophobes etc etc.

There are also plenty of democrats.

Did you not notice what happened in Massachusetts. Hardly a hotbed of racists to say the least.

Regular people are angry and roll on November

Regular people are being wound up with buzz-words I reckon and the descent into
mob-rule looks a pinky away, just wondering who gets to raise the pinky whilst
enjoying their cuppa?

Teaparty mvt. is about taxpayers seeing THEIR money well spent. If you don't pay tax and want those who do to fund your lifestyle it is easy to demonize those who do fund your life.
Kind of like, I broke my toys now I want to play with yours!!!!

Oh yes, and calling the Tea party crowd idiots and morons and so on and so forth is perfectly acceptable.

Double standards how are you!
