The Tea Party Says They Are The Heirs To Doctor King

[DemocratSinceBirth]

And the OWS Movement are the heirs to Malcom and the Black Panthers.

Can't those yahoos find their own heroes.

[Tippy]

1. King was not nor never has been their Hero....

I never saw King carry a gun.....where as the tea party never leaves home without one...heirs now that is a distinct possibility but King had better taste I am sure

[treestar]

2. How do they figure that?

:rofl:

Tea Party logic is always amusing.

[orpupilofnature57]

3. From inception the band of idiot's usurp American denotations & connotations

of what they aren't ,free thinking human beings,it's the republican in them.

[Nancy Waterman]

4. They are the heirs of the John Birch Society

and first cousins to the KKK.

From Wikipedia about the John Birch Society:

The society upholds an originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, which it identifies with fundamentalist Christian principles. It seeks to limit the powers of government and opposes wealth redistribution, economic interventionism. It opposes what it describes as collectivism and Totalitarianism, particularly communism, but also socialism and fascism which it claims are inflitrating into the US administration.

Sound familiar?

18. JBS founded by Koch family

they're still around, by the way, they were at C-PAC.

[Vinca]

5. They must think MLK was an ignorant, white, gun-toting bigot.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. They must think MLK was an ignorant, white, gun-toting bigott who dressed poorly

FIXED

[Enrique]

19. They must think MLK was an ignorant, white, gun-toting bigott who dressed poorly and can't spell

:thumbsup:

[NOLALady]

7. Malcolm?

Because he was a Muslim? :shrug:

The Panthers were probably Christian and they carried guns. It seems like the tea baggers have a lot in common with the Panthers. :crazy:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Probably Because Brother Malcom Was Perceived As A Radical

.

[NOLALady]

28. He was radical.

But, they also perceived DR. King, as well as ALL other civil rights leaders, as radical.

[AndyTiedye]

9. May He Haunt Them in their Dreams Then

They asked for it.

[EC]

10. Glenn Beck tried this too... n/t

[lunatica]

11. They sound pretty desperate to me

They're madly scrambling to be relevant.

[AtomicKitten]

12. Remember GBeck wanted to reclaim (reads hijack) the civil rights movement?

:crazy:

[Jack Rabbit]

13. Which Dr. King do they mean?

The tea baggers are the heirs to Nathan Bedford Forrest.

[MFrohike]

27. No way

Forrest came around at the end of his life. He gave a civil rights speech in 1875 that called for full social equality for freed slaves. The guy had many faults, but there's no need to lump him in with the willfully stupid.

[Hippo_Tron]

14. Well, their hero Raygun believed King was a communist and didn't want a holiday for him

And even if we just completely know race, these people obviously don't have a fucking clue what else Dr. King stood for... Peace, equality, and social justice. He was so far from the Tea-Nut crowd, it's unbelievable they would even try and associate with him.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. Stalin is their hero and Hitler a close 2nd....

other than that, they don't have jack shit for idol worship.

[wildeyed]

16. They spit on John Lewis and then say they are with MLK?

Really? King was anti-Vietnam and was trying to organize a general Poor People's march at the time of his death. I am sure the Tea Party would have been all over that.

[unblock]

17. you don't expect them to acknowledge they are heirs of mussolini, do you?

[ThoughtCriminal]

20. Not too long ago, the same people

were saying MLK was a communist. I guess it depends on who's asking.

[one_voice]

21. I have no problem....

saying that Malcolm X said and did inspiring things. As for the Black Panthers, they also did a lot of good. I don't know why the right always wants to paint these guys as "bad guys".

Did Malcolm X say controversial things...yes...did he also say very inspiring and true things...yes. Same for King and the black panthers.

[workinclasszero]

22. Those pig teabaggers

Sprang from the fevered collective mind of the Koch brothers. They are the definition of astroturf!

The only legitimate lineage of those brown shirt bastards starts at Adolf Hitler, runs through the KKK and white citizens councils and ends with the damned Koch brothers!

[Arkana]

23. They are!

...in Bizarro World, that is.

[lonestarnot]

24. ROFLMAO!

:rofl: Is there anything those fuckers don't want to thieve off with in a "moran?"

[krawhitham]

25. The Tea Party also says they are not racists

[Politicalboi]

26. Well of course they're not

Herman Cain says racism is gone, and he has chosen the Teabaggers to relay that message.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

29. So

We've gone from "I have a dream" to "Get a brain, morans?" What a leap!
:crazy: :silly: :wtf:

[The Wizard]

30. They are heirs to

The Clampets. Hillbillies all.

[Mimosa]

31. Ridiculous.

Why would anybody consider any such nonsense worthy of a second thought. I also try to ignore all OPs about Herman cain as useless distractions from real issues.
