More on the Teabags
Here’s something I just don’t get about conservatives.
Here you have a group of people who consider themselves tough, clear-eyed realists. Remember when they were planning the war in Iraq (i use that term “planning” loosely)? they were all about “black coffee breakfasts” and shock and awe. When Americans torment and torture Muslim prisoners by draping them in women’s underpants, the conservative response is “it’s nothing but fraternity pranks”. And of course, who calls names better than conservatives. “Libtards” is a favorite. Goat-fucking child molester” is a popular epithet used frequently by CNN’s latest hire, Erick “fatty fat fat” Erickson (who also will be happy to tell you that Michael Moore is also chubby).
But jeez, what a bunch of shrieking pussies when the tables are turned. Althouse is upset, and calls the picture “gross” and “childish”. Meanwhile Althouse’s colleague “Ace of Spades” calls out the “sexually graphic” nature of the shot. “Sexually graphic”? I’ve got a teabag in my mouth, not a scrotum. There’s nothing sexually graphic about it, and anyway, people who condone torture as an interrogation tactic, presumably including putting ladies underpants on prisoners’ heads look very silly when they write apologetics for the one, and outraged screeds about the other. I mean seriously, what are you, a delicate flower who can’t take the sight of a man licking a teabag? Grown some fucking stones.
then there’s the name calling: I provide a few examples above of the conservative tendency toward invective. For that matter, for how many years have the conservatives deliberately mislabeled the Democratic party as “the Democrat Party” just to get liberals’ goat. But you turn the tables and call the “Tea Party [Bowel] Movement” a bunch of teabaggers (a term these ignoramuses used for themselves before someone clued them in), and all of a sudden here come the waterworks. “Waah waah waah, those mean liberals call us names and it’s not fair Mommy, it’s not fair at all. Tell them to stop hitting me back.”
Seriously: that’s your modern conservative movement: crybabies and hysterics who want to be able to sling mud without having any slung back at them.
If i was a conservative myself, I would be running from these fools as fast as my piggy little trotters could carry me.
And now i gotta get back to work: unlike Ann Althouse, Ace of Base Spades, and the rest of the wingnut welfare crowd, I have a real job.
