Waiting “b…b…b…” comments that I will get a kick out of.

Or how about…

… it was obviously photoshopped. The lamestream media is out to get us.

Also note, on his website he used MSPaint to cover this sign up before deciding to take it down entirely. Dale is quite the intelligent man.

Teehee. Hasn’t he ever heard of photoshop?

And he was making a slavery reference… how much more offensive can you get?

I’ll tell you how, by misspelling it :P

so tired of white people with their phony outrage, yelling racist! it’s getting embarrassing already.

Photo shopped.

No no, the one I posted was the photoshop (From MSPaint mind you) from Dale himself. This is the real deal.

Where are all the republicans and libertarians at in this post? Usually they are quick to defend their own, especially when evidence doesn’t support their hypothesis.

Why don’t you pull out your Adobe Photoshop and show Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck holding up the same sign. That could keep the MSNBC pundits busy for a week.

felix, I’m sure people would note it as an obvious photoshop. As Dale’s sign is quite well known around the internet circles. Plus you could tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few shops in our time. So it would be pointless. You can however just point out that the rep that recently got a death threat happened to be on the list of Sarah Palin’s targets. That would be more effective, as there is no way to shop that. And no pixels would be out of place.

It’s been great watching the rightys and teabaggers on defense all week.

They have really shown their true colors.

Best week ever!!!

i realize tommy wouldnt do any research before writing an article that bashes the right but this guy has been disavowed by tea partiers for months…

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/dale-robertson-no-friend-of-ours/

most importantly, from the houston tea party:

1. He is NOT a member of our Leadership team.

2. He owns a website with which we have never been affiliated.

3. He has never been a part of organizing any of the Tea Party rallies in the Houston area, or any other area that we can find.

4. We addressed some issues involving him back in April. Here it is on our website, where Mr. Robertson himself comments: http://houstontps.org/?p=318

5. We do not choose to associate with people that use his type of disgusting language.

Busted.

Another Tea Party liar.

As expected.

Okay, let’s not get too carried away.

Not every Tea Party group is racist nor do most Tea Party people condone this type of racist behavior.

photoshopped dumb ass!

Pyrope, this wasn’t photoshopped. For the second time in a row we have to tell you, good lord what is wrong with you? Even the Texas Teaparty people distanced themselves from this guy, why can’t you do the same?

Reminds me of certain morons at Mediaite and other sites that claim the Fox gNOpig Propaganda Party is about “News”

Then jack off daily with the “all important demo” of POLITICAL OPINION shows.

Did I mention those 3 clown are closet racists? Billdo, KKKlownnity and the sht flinging Baboon.

What the rightwingers want you to do is stop believing what you see — they wink at the unsavory elements in their midst like ol’ Dale here. And Dale overplayed his hand because he thought the rightwingers had been successful in conning Americans into believing the Tea Party is grassroots and not fueled by hate.

I think Americans have seen through the Fox Not News Channel Newspeak and their use of such terms as ‘liberty’ to promote slavery and that FNNC also promoted unashamedly the Tea Party (which ought to be more appropriately named the “Tailgate Party”) and increased the popularity of tricorner hats to levels not seen since 1776.

I remember this story being about a month old. The people at this rally were shunning him. It’s like when a LaRouche supporter shows up at a progressive rally. And I’m sure (how is it you say…) the leftwingers just wink at them too.

He’s probably a founder because he got to the web domain first.

You’ll have this. Of course the MSM won’t touch this so, it looks like Tommy had to dig deep into ‘Russia Today’s’ website to find it.

Agenda? Come now you jest!

Off the topic and largely irrelevant, but shouldn’t the link behind the picture of man holding sign go to a whole picture of man holding sign? Clicking through to see a picture that cuts off half way down seems to weaken the presentation of the story, albeit slightly. Yes, I can be kinda picky about some things. My apologies.

But is it? Equating Congress to slave owners isn’t that far a stretch. Now could he have said slaves
instead of that? yeah. He’s more guilty of being politically incorrect than a racist though unless you
are implying that only African Americans pay taxes….

Hey guys are you going to believe “Dale” or your lying eyes?

Ridiculous. 1. Using the N word isn’t inherently racist. 2. On this sign, if it’s legit, it’s a figure of speech. I’d wager a guess and say it’s SUPPOSED to be offensive. The taxpayer is held down and beaten down, so mistreated that the slave owner (congress) would have so little respect for him, that he’d simply refer to the taxpayer as his nigger (as a slave owner would).

That’s NOT difficult to comprehend. It’s also in no way racist. Now, if the sign had said, “black people are inferior because of their skin color,” yes, we’ve got racism. Comparing Congress’ treatment of taxpayers to that of a slave owner, well- let’s be honest, it makes sense. Most members of congress have so little respect for us, they see us just as a slave owner would. We can’t rebel, we can’t choose NOT to pay them large chunks of our income. We can’t choose what programs OUR money is used for.

You guys at mediaite (the web titans you are- this post has 24 comments) need to get a life and a clue. You can tag people racist all day long, but feign ignorance as to what the sign really means all you want, thinkers actually GET the point.

Any MORON that actually thinks that this ISN’T racist is: a) Lying to him/her self, b) Is a racist themselves; and/or c) Probably isn’t Black because it’s hard to really KNOW a subject when they have never been a part of said subject.

Joshua:

When I first saw that picture, I immediately wanted to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. I can believe that he didn’t think that sign was racist (much like you don’t), but I find it difficult to believe that he didn’t think that the use of the word would be racially insensitive. Since the target of the sign is supposed to be the Congress, why use a loaded word with an ugly history that is offensive to African Americans?

There is nothing clever about the sign’s comparison. Never mind how insulting it is to compare 400 years of slavery with taxation without representation. But just consider the choice of words and how they do or don’t contribute to the “figure of speech,” you mention. Replacing the n-word with “slave” actually adds cadence, and removes any confusion about the decision to use the n-word. It makes it sound more like a slogan.

Using the n-word is not inherently racist, as you say. But using it outside a context that supports it can be. If nothing else, it illustrates the lack of understanding and awareness Mr. Robertson seemed to have when he made that sign.

For those who were questioning the cropping and the detail of the sign, or think it was photoshopped, here is a link to the Washington Independent where they post a much larger photo and a reporter fills in some of the details surrounding the event:

http://washingtonindependent.com/73036/n-word-sign-dogs-would-be-tea-party-leader

The WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT also reported that Robertson was “booted” out of the event for the sign. LOL- the Washington Independent is run by the left and the major financial donors (individuals/groups/corp) are ALL liberals.

What makes all this liberal media so un-American is the corruption from within. Liberal democrats are using the race card when they can’t argue the facts and are way down in the polls when trust, honesty, and respect are at the forefront as it is now.

“Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia’s John Lewis.” (McClatchy Newspapers)

McClatchy Newspapers – WASHINGTON — Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol, angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted n*****” Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.

Andrew Breitbart has had enough, and is putting his money where tea partiers’ mouths aren’t:

If we let them get away with Saturday’s stunt — using the imagery of the Civil Rights era and hurtful lies to cast aspersions upon the tea party whole — then they really will have won the day.

It’s time for the allegedly pristine character of Rep. John Lewis to put up or shut up. Therefore, I am offering $10,000 of my own money to provide hard evidence that the N- word was hurled at him not 15 times, as his colleague reported, but just once. Surely one of those two cameras wielded by members of his entourage will prove his point.

And surely if those cameras did not capture such abhorrence, then someone from the mainstream media — those who printed and broadcast his assertions without any reasonable questioning or investigation — must themselves surely have it on camera. Of course we already know they don’t. If they did, you’d have seen it by now.

THOUSANDS OF TIMES.

Rep. Lewis, if you can’t do that, I’ll give him a backup plan: a lie detector test. If you provide verifiable video evidence showing that a single racist epithet was hurled as you walked among the tea partiers, or you pass a simple lie detector test, I will provide a $10K check to the United Negro College Fund.

Why does our bias and corrupt liberal MSM incite such hatred from something that doesn’t even look like it happened, or if so, not 15 times like the democrats keep insisting? Why no video or evidence from the MSM, who covered this event from head to toe, and produce just one clip of these accusations? Because they have none, that’s why!

Notice how our corrupt liberal MSM and our democrats have sudden LCAT over Obama and his racist life with the Reverend Wright? How soon we (no, they) forget!

Racist comments straight from the horses’ mouth.

If this yahoo is stupid enough to call himself “the founder of the Tea Party,” he’s stupid enough to write
Taxpayer = NASCAR.

Besides, everyone knows that I founded the Tea Party Movement in April of 2006 after being probed by a friendly but over-curious Liberal alien named Lucy after one too many Burning Man attendances, followed by a civil ceremony in San Francisco and everyone ignored us.

The sign is a fake. I know you libs want to believe it because it’s the crux of your arugment. Just look at the black ink used in the = sign. Anybody that has ever made posters for a kids Ice tea stand or a bake sale knows you never have a brand new maker on hand to replace the one thats running out. If you did you would have used it from the beginning. Look how dark the N -word is compared to both = signs. If you have any experience with photo shop, you know a running out marker is hard to recreate. This Web-Sites “EXPERTS” are so full of shit just like this whole Obama administration. Wake up people.

i know Dale Robertson personally and i can assure you that this photo is completely bogus.. believe me when i say first of all he would never create a sign like that or misspell any words like that… There is a growing mistrust of the power brokers in washington with good cause,, and i can only say that those people that think this country is going in the right direction are still blinded by the light of their false messiah… Some of us were trying to say it long before the election that the policies and plans of the now president were way too radical and way too far to the left for most Americans to swallow, so why should anyone be shocked now by the groundswell of backlash by the common citizens of this country in opposition to these policies… nor should anyone be surprised that like every good megalomaniacal dictator our fearless leader would disregard the wishes of the majority of the people to promote his agenda and his image as if he is the second coming of the only one, other than our soldiers has ever paid the price for liberty and prosperity and justice for all… Jesus Christ… God bless you all..
