"Father, we ask your blessing today on this land. We are in such trouble. You have commanded us to pray for our leaders, and lord we want to be faithful in doing that. Regardless of who they are, they are in there because they were elected. And we pray that you'll be faithful in the next election to make some changes."

One of the signs in that top photo reads "Cap and Trade Obama." Now, I realize the holder of said sign is doing his or her level best to be pithy and topical, but isn't suggesting someone "cap" the President a threat? Surely that's not what this person meant, but you've gotta be smarter than that.
Also - who would we trade Obama for? And would we get a compensatory draft pick if he performed well in his new country?

I used up my lunch hour to make the long drive to Legislative Plaza to see the teabag event. As I expected, a virtually all-white (and pretty small) crowd of sour, mean-spirited, chronically malcontent, faux-patriotic, racist, dittohead morons who are still stamping their feet in frustration that we have a progressive black man as president and in total denial that they are in a distinct and rapidly shrinking minority in America.
Got two words for all of your teabagging crazies:
"President Obama."
Live with it. Your time of driving America into the ditch is over.
What about Hargett sending the TBI out to do his dirty work......Hargett needs to step down from the Sec. of State's office ASAP!!
This is not communist China, we don't send our police or military out to meet with civilians over expressing their opinions!!!!
STEP DOWN HARGETT!!!!!!!
Ha, was that dude's prayer a quid quo pro with God? That's not how it's supposed to work!
Quid pro quo, whatever. Latin is for conspiracy theorists and 19th century schoolboys.
I refuse to bend to your outmoded, patriarchial insistence on gendered improper nouns. That's sexist and divisive, lady.
Down here in Murfreesboro, they are planning a July 10 Tea Party to protest an extension of unemployment benefits for the county’s 10.3% unemployed residents. They will also loudly protest $1.6 billion in government loans to Nissan, $13.9 million for Rutherford County schools, enhanced health care for Rutherford County’s veterans, funding for three road projects in our county, and $30 million to retrain dislocated and low-income workers.
They may not be able to tell the media what they are protesting, but we know what their protesting. Go to TNRecovery.gov, find what's being spent in your community, and copy and paste, bitches.
Oh, Ashley, my comment had nothing to do with Patray's gender. And suggesting otherwise is double-dog dare reverse discriminatory stereotyping. I personally have no idea what gender Patray self-identifies as. It's frankly none of my business.
I'm just saying, Patray does not fit any standard definition of "dude." Unless she used to be a cattle wrangler, which would be equal parts awesome and scary.
BWahhaa...TennDouche uses the exact same empty buzzphrases and rhetoric is each one of his posts.
I'd love for The Nashville Rag to host a debate for the media to cover. Woodsy, Silverdouche and the lot would have their @sses handed to them. They don't have much without their blog to cower behind...lol
Ashley,
By what deus ex machina do you have any position to decide what is patriarchal or for 19th Century schoolboys? It seems that the influence of someone like Bobbie and millions of other women who exert power is proof that this isn't your grandmother's patriarchy.
Comments like yours use 'patriarchy' as an excuse to not proceed with arguments that you know are doomed.
JR - You get it! I like you. Everyone should use "double-dog dare reverse discriminatory stereotyping" in a sentence today.
Mark - My grandmother's patrichary decided cigarettes were medicine, and I think that's something we can all agree on. Smoking is awesome.
"BWahhaa...TennDouche uses the exact same empty buzzphrases and rhetoric is each one of his posts."
Hey Kevin, I like that. Anytime you can turn a guy's online nickname around like that, especially when you can introduce "douche" as one of the words, you have owned him. Now I see why you're such a master debater. Simply amazing.
I love that sign in the picture above:
"The stimulus bill is pure stupid written by morons for idiots to sign mere trillions."
And the right-wing commentators on this blog don't know why tea-baggers get made fun of? If I was a leader of that event, I would make sure everyone who came with a sign had it checked for grammar first.
Yeah, Kevin is so witty with his rapier wit and totally mature comebacks. I just don't know how I can sleep at night now.
Someone tell that dude Patray that I chose Obama, because I, naturally, always choose. And she'd be wise not to be telling me what to do in the next election. I do what I do regardless of your pathetic pleading. Deal with it.
I would like to know how many people were actually at this party. NewsChannel5.com estimates four thousand, and the tag on the, ahem, article reads "thousands". Can anyone provide a fairly objective estimate? If NewsChannel5 is fudging the numbers so badly, should they be a news source? Same goes for the Scene if they are in such error. What is going on???
AP: "Several hundred people have gathered in front of the Tennessee Capitol to protest the policies of Democratic President Barack Obama.
The event marks the third time this year that protesters have held "tea party" rallies in Nashville.
Monday’s lunchtime protest filled about half of Legislative Plaza, a much smaller turnout than the previous rally in April that was part of a national turnout on tax day."
Someone should really ask Channel 5 where they came up with the four thousand estimate. Couldn't have been from someone involved with the protest, could it?
Surely there's an aerial photograph from somewhere. The protesters then could literally be counted.
The local Fox channel just gave a count of 2,500 that was provided by the rally organizers. So the organizers themselves estimate 2,500 (which is bound to be generous, of course) and Channel 5 goes them 1,500 better.
I find it extremely curious that when you all cannot have a reasonable and intelligent argument you resort to personal insults.
That must mean that in reality you truly don't have a rational argument and your level of "new tolerance" is of the most intolerable kind. The truth you all supposedly so vehemently stand for cannot be found in the lameness of your minds. You are only parroting what you hear so often....as you have no thinking mind of your own.
Come hear the real truth on July 2 at Legislative Plaza. Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson will give you a head full to fill your empty brain pans!
You can call it what you want, or you can put your head in the sand! This nation is falling apart at the seams. This Government spends more money then would could ever afford ot pay back! We are being taxed to death and someone needs to step up to the plate and scream enough!
You can call it a tea party, a radio show promotion, extreame!! But the truth is they are a group of Americans that want people to understand what America was founded on!
May God Bless You
TennRod...
Did you get lost on your way...there were thousands of Americans out there!! Black, White, Brown, Tan, Female, Male, Young, and Old.
And Tami and Stephanie were surely teabagging Bush, whom didn't even put the cost of his chosen war in Iraq in the budget!! LOL LOL GOP ineptitude takes many forms, and I'm sure there is a token in every crowd. It's funny they protest the new President whom inherited their garbage mantra(taxcuts over deficit reduction),neglect responsibility for the GOP fiscal policies that created this mess, and were in hiding for 8 years of Bush fiscal whoredom. They never protested no-bid contracts, corporate welfare, and market rules deregulated off the backs of the middleclass at a greater deficit. They call themselves "Patriots", just like I call myself, yet I know most of them are just "fair weather patriots" unable to reconcile that the GOP Pols they supported gave them the deficits they wanted(while we Democratics protested against their irrational excesses), and we maintained fiscal control(balanced budget) till THEY stole power!!! And some of the teabaggers do it solely out of hate and spite, nearly all the rest are Bush/Neocon loyalists- too bad their IGNORANCE fails to see that Obama has saved this country from the trainwreck DEPRESSION that their cult leaders instigated with warped, Anti-Growth, Anti-Middle Class American policy. They should be ashamed of themselves for soiling our Great Nation, while they lack compassion for the unemployed, the lagging indicator fom a screwed up Bush regime.
So the next time you teabaggers protest in Dallas, go visit your former Resident, and teabag his house, and when you are done you can teabag each other!!
Was that too logical an argument for you Tami-or will you be happier when your ilk tries to turn us into a 3rd world country? I'll have to admit, you losers almost succeeded in doing so!
Thundersleez: Sounds like more sack loads of rubbish to me....nonsensical really. Your wordiness which results in a rash of hurled insults really contains no real basis in fact. Although like your commandant in chief you seemingly craft a rather large tirade, it doesn't track...how long do you and Mr O intend to continue blaming past administrations and continue campaigning on utterly failed policies that O had instigated himself. Talk of 3rd world...my oh my...we are definitely headed there now. And my guess is you have never seen a 3rd world country. You don't know me or my ilk....I am the one who pays the bills.
Robert-you are full of sh!t and act like nothing happened the last 8 years-are you fricking retarded, or just ignorant?
Robert doesn't pay any bills. He's a lying, scumbag rightwingnut racist who's world has come to an end because a black man became president. He doesn't comprehend that the Republicans controlled all branches of government for six of the past eight years, nor does he comprehend that the Bush administration was the one the bailed our Wall Street, not Obama. Nor does he comprehend that eight years of disaster cannot be fixed in six months. Nor does he comprehend his navel.
