The Freeper Knuckledragging Theocratic Oddballs are out at the Teabag rally in Madison
Advertisements [?]
As others have indicated, this is the best "enemy" Obama can have. And it was all about bashing Obama. Yeah, he's a commie. Yeah, he's a socialist. Yeah, teabags (which were boycotted way back when as well as was a protest against no representation). Last I checked, we had an election and the people at this rally voted for THE LOSER.

So, as I walked through the rally of a crowd of 1,500 people bussed in from the conservative belt of Wisconsin (Waukesha to Green Bay), I noticed a lot of the usual signage you might have seen at a McCain/Palin Hate Fest. One of my faves was where apparently some guy named Carl Marx was there with Hitler and Obama.



Nice work.



Yeah, Obama bowed before the Saudi King. At least he didn't hold his hand or kiss him like Bush did. This is an issue with taxation? Oh, OK...



A fair amount of t-shirts and signs mentioned socialism (via taxation) as an evil. Surely, these people used roads paid for by taxes and had police protection paid for by taxes and even were at a venue, the State Capital, which is paid for by taxes. I'd say that at least three-quarters of the attendants at the rally receive SOCIAL Security checks. A number of vets there (including some guy in his 20s wearing a Vietnam Vet hat :rofl:) also get benefits from taxes. Maybe that's not "important". One sign where "no freeloaders" was an issue was seen by me as perhaps an anti-rally sign, but I digress.



Of course, you could see "Obama Nation" signs and buttons. Yeah, it's supposed to be "negative", get it? What was interesting about the crowd is that I wondered how many people were unemployed at this rally. These people had voted for politicians who sold them down the river.



Not to be outdone, there were a few "Obama is the Anti-Christ" signs. There were a couple signs asking about where the "birth certificate" is. When some guy in the video feed mentioned he wasn't a Democrat or a Republican, just a "conservative Christian", the crowd bellowed with growls and spitful groans of joy.



I was going to interview people, but felt that they would just look at me and try to steal my camera. Plus 15 minutes there was making me nauseous. The guy looking at me in this photo gave an air of being a McVeigh-type who gave me a dead-eyed look as I took the photo. Yeah, there was a few Ron Paul types there too.

Am I worried? I witnessed what can be called the Permanent 20% of idiots who will always vote Republican and who are racist homophobes. I can spot them a mile away.

I hope the roads built by our socialist policies allow them to get their ugly asses back from where they drag their knuckles. Good riddance.
