Got into it with a teabagger at work today, regarding bagger racism. [View all]

She claimed that there is zero evidence of any racist inclinations in the Tea Party. I pointed out to her the numerous Obama-as-witch doctor signs, Confederate flags, and White House watermelon patch posters that have shown up at their rallies; as well as the shameful use of the n-word which was tossed at John Conyers and others back when the Tealiban was first getting cranked up.
She latched onto the Conyers incident and actually said to me, "That has been disproved. There's no video, and if there's no video, it did not happen". I replied, "Wow, then if it wasn't for that damned Abraham Zapruder, JFK would still be alive, right?"
I have no idea how to spell or in any way represent the spluttering sounds that she made while the staff lunch room dissolved into giggles as she stormed out.
