And the Tea Party actually wonders how it got its reputation? It’s because of dumbasses like Mark Williams, himself a waste of good oxygen and a great argument for abortion, that the Tea Party is seen as a negative and even Impotent Dick Armey is telling candidates to distance themselves from the Tea Party.

Go, Mark Williams! NYC needs all the help they can get to keep the vermin away from the WTC burial site!

Intolerance is intolerance. By steping down he is saying “I don’t like Muslims. They are why our Trade Center isn’t there any longer.” If we connect all of the dots throughout history it would be hard to not come to the conclusion that religion, in general, has a lot to do with all of this violence. Why do many Muslims hate us? Because we are free? Not hardly. The history goes much further back than just September 11th or even 1948. If teabaggers would study it, they may see a different perspective than the one they believe to be true. But, alas, they appear to suffer from selective igornance.

@Sunnyr
Vermin? Really? I have a little muslim child in my classroom and I would hardly categorize him as vermin. He is a little boy whose parents have forced their religion on him as so many other “people of faith” have done.

Muslim pirates were attacking American ships in 1803 because they viewed anyone who wasn’t Muslim as an ‘infidel’ and beneath contempt. Thomas Jefferson was president and sent the Marines to stop it. (The shores of Tripoli) That ‘why do they hate us question’ should be ‘why do they look down on anyone who doesn’t believe as they do’? Isn’t that being intolerant?

So we combat intolerance with intolerance? I think not. Not what Jesus did, not what I intend to do, not what any Christian or muslim should do. Many Christians don’t realize that this was us not too long ago. We destroyed the library of Alexandria 300 years before the muslims could, so we are just as bad in many respects. What is the deal with the right-wing of this country trying to demonize a particular group then rewriting history to save their own? Is Williams going to say liberals whine next despite the fact that a number of changes to federal procedure over the past century were the result of Republican complaining?

Williams says he will “think globally, act locally.”

From http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/nyregion/26muslim.html :

“a Manhattan community board backed a proposal . . . to build a Muslim community center near the World Trade Center. . . . 29-to-1 vote, with 10 abstentions”

Act locally, Mark. Butt out.

Religion has been the cause of more death, destruction and misery than all of mankind’s greed – or even Dick Cheney’s. THAT’S why the Constitution has the “establishment clause.”

Cindy Johnson – I’ll apologize for the ignorance shown by people like sunnyr. You are dealing with some very very stupid and bigoted people and I’m sorry about that.

dawgs, teddy like that black pres- he had his head in Obbama’s black ass for 18 months. dat teddy, he belief every ding dat Obbama says. dat white man is da bombb

Good riddance, Mr. Williams!!! Sacramento is one of the most diverse cities in the U.S. (including Americans of all faiths and no faith — yes, that includes a sizable Muslim population). We can’t wait to send you down in defeat in your city council bid!

Bill – You verify everything that’s been said about the tea-baggers; that at their core they are racist, and you just proved it. You are a credit to tea-baggers everywhere; now, don’t you have a cross to burn?

It’s so teabggerish to object to anything that’s “different” and doesn’t have a White man as its head.

Yes, Muslims are known for their open minded tolerance. Just look at how women are treated in Muslim countries, for instance.

I am shocked, shocked that a teabagging gasbag would object to anything in America that’s not White nor christian, shocked!

Nadine Otego says:

Negro shut your sound and did the dems declare yous an official balck

Ted says:

teddy, get ous some more black hose, boy

Nadine, you are free to experience the wonderful tolerance of Muslims at any time. Immigrate to Saudi Arabia, then let us know how it’s going.

writer – you supporting BIll, who is an obvious racists? This moron is either a racists or some dumb kid with a keyboard. I don’t see any other tea-baggers denouncing what this obvious brain-stem is saying; why not?

And Mediaite – I wouldn’t ban this guy. People need to see this.

And writer (aka brainiac) You can experience being a Muslim, here, in the US; idiot.

Ted, you moron, I wan’t commenting at all on Bill’s posts. I was replying to Nadine. And being a Muslim here isn’t quite the same. The Muslim rules aren’t government sanctioned. I found it curious that a female would be so gung ho about defending a religion that treats women as inferiors. You Ted, I can understand you defending it. You’re an idiot.

I guess, that it’s – whoever PAYS the MOST! Muslim has nothing to do with it – it’s “our” POLs & their “accomplices”!

New York will eat him alive.

He is a god damn hick.

Can’t wait for the look on his face when he sees just how many arabs there are in NYC. And how the entire city gets along with all races.

Original Tea Party: Ron Paul

Tea Party Express: Neo-cons

There is a difference. I’m of the former. And we are definitely at odds w/ the Neo-cons. They broke from the Dem Party and, under Irving Krystal (author of ‘Confessions Of A Closet Conservative) infiltrated the Rep Party w/ ‘socialistic, big spending conservatism’ using the guise of being Holier Than Thou, Born Again, whatever. Their message has worked itself into churches and convinced church goers that every war (for oil or other natural resources, land grabs, moral impositions, etc) is a ‘just war’. They’ve attempted to maintain their power w/ the Tea Party Express.

The Ron Paul Tea Party stands for ending the wars, immediately; Closing all or significantly reducing the numbers of the some-odd 700 military bases spread over 170 countries… This contributed to Roman Empire’s collapse. It will do the same with us;

Ending the privately-owned Federal Reserve which loans your money to other private banks at near 0% interest, while you pay usurious interest rates to borrow it from them… When the first question you have to ask is ‘What’s my minimum payment?’, you’re doomed. Save your capital and pay cash. To Hell w/ the banks;

Reducing the size and scope of the federal government and allowing states to handle their own affairs…With diversity comes resilience. One state’s bad agenda won’t bring down the rest of us. One federal government’s bad agenda will. My state, California, is a great example of what not to do. Fortunately, you guys don’t have to suffer… It’s a lot easier for you to affect the changes you want in your state than it is with lobbyist-laden Wash DC. The better job you do, the more prosperous your state will be. The more people and jobs will come to it. Yes, there is competition amongst states! And yes, even at the state level, you have to watch those bastards like a hawk;

Letting people become the masters of their own destinies. If you eat McD’s every day and destroy your health, don’t go crying to Uncle Sam to fix your problems. Society owes you nothing;

We support open shop unions. There has to be balance. A business will happily pay you fifty cents and a stick of bubble gum an hour. Foxconn, in China, is the perfect example. Closed shop unions will happily require a business to pay a Teamster $600/day to sleep in a truck. I see it firsthand, all the time, on movie sets. Too much power, either way, is not good. It ends w/ poor living conditions for workers or horrible inefficiency in business.

We recognize that insurance is the reason medical costs are out of reach for so many people. Insurance companies loves high costs. It gives you no choice but to pay them for any hope (which they will happily deny under some technicality). Get insurance out of medicine. If people pay cash, their limited finances will force hospitals to lower their prices to pre-1980′s levels, less they go out of business. Insurance used to be only for emergencies. Now it is everyone’s primary form of payment (i.e. it is a benefit). Something went wrong.

Protect our borders. One of the fundamental charges to the federal government, by the Constitution, is egregiously ignored. 800-1000 Mexican citizens enter our country every day. Say what you will about Arizona. But this IS a problem. The lack of action, by administrations of both parties, cannot be tolerated. However, an attempt at understanding their logic would be appreciated (I’m just curious). Alas, they don’t discuss their lack of action (or even entertain the question).

I could go on. But I’m sure the Progressives and Neo-cons are bleeding out of their eyeballs by now:)

Tea Party = real deal… Tea Party Express = cheap Neo-con knock off, struggling to survive.
