27. Yes!

A very sickening display, to say the least.

I hope this disgusting Klan rally wakes people up to what the tea party really is - a group of racists who want to set this country back 200 years.

thanks Brigid

[awoke_in_2003]

4. I bet none of those 20 or so "patriots"...

[Cha]

7. It was a Klan rally, arely.

[DinahMoeHum]

8. I know a great use for that particular flag. . .

. . .as a toilet.

14. Precisely, she! Ain't nothin' but a

Klan rally that went on today with palin and cruz struttin' and spewin' and eggin' on the ignorant racists.

How damn dumb does the republicon party have to be to expose their Klan side in front of the White House?..

Mahalo for the Tweet that went with the Obamas' pic, she~

[Ikonoklast]

12. The flag wavers say they are supporting their 'heritage'.

The heritage in my family tree was to fire a 12-pounder Napoleon at every son of a bitch that was waving a flag like that, in service to this Nation.

[Cha]

15. Poor ignorant brainwashed things.. they're are showing off their "heritage"

that reeks of racism and the KKK.

thanks Ikonoklast

[freshwest]

18. LOL! You are alright after all...

[Ikonoklast]

22. Battery 'A' attached to the New York 69th, "The Irish Brigade".

Gettysburg, the Peach Grove and Bloody Lane.

My father's grandfather's brother Michael, who is there still.

[Hugin]

43. +1

Well said and accurate.

[Myrina]

44. Mine too ... my great-great-grandfather who fought for the North didn't even speak English!

He was a Belgian immigrant, here only 5 years before he enlisted, and ultimately died, in the Civil War as part of the Wisconsin Regiment.

[icymist]

54. My G G G Grandfather fired many 12 pounders upon these fools at Gettysburg!

Company C, 5th heavy artillery, reg army

[NastyRiffraff]

13. So...where are all the "moderate" Republicans denouncing this?

Anyone seen or heard anything from them? Or are they all cowering in their bunkers, still afraid of the Tea Party loons?

[Cha]

16. Hiding under their rocks trying not to rock

the titanic.

[freshwest]

19. Cheering them in private, saying 'Go git 'em, boys!' None have broken rank yet, did they?

No, these are their shock troops for the public. In the meantime, they sit back and steal from the public in a more 'genteel' manner...

[gopiscrap]

17. That's right-take that you fucking sore losers!

[progree]

20. Here are a couple of the pics to save people from hunting for them

They are both at the http://theobamadiary.com/2013/10/13/a-tweet-or-two-12/
link in the OP. Anyway, these are the clowns we have to deal with in about a year in the midterm elections (or in a month for some of us that have local elections). In addition to the KKK symbolism of waving the Confederate flag in front of a black family's residence, I am incensed with someone waving both the Marine Corps flag (or any armed services flag) with the Confederate flag -- I thought the U.S. armed forces beat the slavers about 150 years ago (for example, Gettysburg was 150 years and 3 months ago). During the war, a total of 148 U.S. marines were killed in action, while 312 more died from other causes.

Hope the below doesn't offend, or maybe I should hope it does offend -- if it galvanizes us to extra efforts to get people to the polls, make sure they can vote and all that.

[Cha]

24. Yes, from the Klan Rally today..

thanks progree..

[progree]

31. Thanks. I stuck "KKK" in my post #20 above. But I don't see any white hoods...

this country has gotten so bad that they don't feel the need to hide themselves in costumes anymore

While I was looking for KKK images, I found this, for what its worth. It didn't strike me as funny, it looks like an attempt at humor in poor taste, but anyway it was so unusual, strange, bizarre, and "out there" that I couldn't resist posting it:

32. they left their sheets at home but their meaning couldn't

be more clear with their Confederate flags waving in front of the White House.. yelling at our President to "Go Home".



The only thing the GOP/Tea Party people in DC today were missing was some headwear:

33. Thanks to FoxNoose and Lush Slimeball, they no longer feel the need to hide their

racist identities.

[flamingdem]

39. oy vey!

!!!

[csziggy]

58. What does the Marine Corps have to say about the use of their flag

In conjunction with the battle flag of secessionists and traitors?

I am disturbed that the head of the Corps has not made a statement condemning this use.

[Old and In the Way]

21. McGovern, Carter, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Obama...

proud to say I voted for everyone of these great individuals. Could not ever imagine voting for scumbags who ran as Republicans.

[Rex]

25. I started with Clinton.

Proud to be my first vote.

[bmbmd]

52. And Mondale.

don't forget Mondale! And Kerry.

[Rex]

23. And it drives them crazy!

That pesky democracy thingy!

[TeamPooka]

26. At least they got some fresh air and exercise.

[raging moderate]

28. Now they have dropped their facade.

Here is the bad news for the neo-Confederate racist Republicon party: The Abolitionists also left progeny. And our brave boys who didn't get to be ancestors because they gave their lives to end slavery have spiritual descendants for whom they constitute a cloud of witnesses with whom we must keep faith.

Bring it.

[Cha]

29. Yes, indeed, rm! The gopropaganda machine is full blown KKK Rally now..

Led by the idiots red cruz and sarah palin.. waving Freaking Confederate flags out in front of our White House and telling our President to "Go Home".

Fuckers are too damn ignorant to know that PBO is Home.. for 3 and 1/2 more years!

[raging moderate]

30. Private George S. Barnes helped win this victory by slowly dying in a slavers' prison camp.

He didn't get to be anybody's ancestor because he joined the Union Army at age 16 to end slavery. The thugs withheld food and medical attention from a wounded and then a dying teenager. George somehow hung on for a couple of years, but then he died not long after the prisoner-of-war camp was liberated. Before dying, he managed to make this tiny brown tray, carving one last request: "Remember me."

I believe the worst stories that have come down from the Southern slave plantations. Because, frankly, with what they did to George, it all sounds like something they would do.

Of course, it would be wrong to forget that the slave system was just as bad in such very Northern states as New York.

[blue neen]

34. They think their hate-filled actions and words are hurting our President.

They aren't hurting him; they're hurting themselves. They wrap themselves in Confederate flags for all of the world to see what blind hatred and bigotry REALLY look like.

These pictures in Post #20 are stunning to see. On the weekend when "Twelve Years a Slave" was screened, these imbeciles show us, unfortunately, that there will always be evil and ignorant people in this world.

Honestly, we're using our tax dollars to pay Ted Cruz to pretend he's John C. Calhoun? It's insane.

[Cha]

35. It is "Insane", blue neen!

That is the saving grace that you wrote..

"They aren't hurting him; they're hurting themselves. They wrap themselves in Confederate flags for all of the world to see what blind hatred and bigotry REALLY look like."

So very true.. thank you~

[flamingdem]

36. They really drank their own koolaid showing up at a rally

in D.C. with a Confederate Flag smack in the photographs.

Just unreallll !!!

[Cha]

37. Can you say..

"BACKFIRE!" "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

Gotta Love it! Just when you think the tea party has FUBAR.. they come up with more ways to self destruct

38. Here's a CNN video starring the Confederate Flag!

I guess was before they knew Palin and Cruz were right there!

40. It's so gross, flamindem..

the "media" loves it.

thanks

[freshwest]

62. 'So upset about not being able to get to their memorials,' not upset about poor not getting to eat.

Priorities, people!

[Cha]

64. And, not having a freaking CLUE that Ted Cruz

caused it. It must hurt bad to be so thoroughly brainwashed.

[freshwest]

65. No, they're still mad about 2012:

I can't believe those ridiculous bigots .. *sigh*

[Laelth]

42. k&r for the truth. n/t

[Sugarcoated]

45. I admit it, I enjoy their futile anger

Of course they disgust me, but if they wanna go out there and have their racist temper tantrums, be blatant hate filled assholes for the whole country to see, I'm going to enjoy their frustration...not to mention how it's hurting the republican party bullies

[Cha]

47. It's totally "hurting" the republicon party bullies",

Sugarcoated!

[KansDem]

46. Yeah? If you think that's bad, look what was found in their porta-potties...

Finally putting it to good use...

[Cha]

48. Good place for it!

[dropboss11]

50. agreed

not good for much else.

[dropboss11]

49. Tea party Meltdown. Don't. Move. An. Inch.

This is what the democrats and Obama are forcing them to do. The Tea Party is in Free Fall. Gotta luv it!

[Cha]

63. Here's to this being the beginning of

the end, dropboss

Welcome to DU

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

51. Put the blame where it belongs. Often.

[Cha]

53. Exactly where it belongs, IllinoisBirdWatcher..

that's quite the teabagger hat ted is sporting!

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

55. Feel free to post it far and wide...

[Cha]

56. Thank you.. it may come

in handy a time or two!

[hue]

57. It's just sooo hard for those Republicons to face reality-->just may never happen!

[Cha]

59. That's my guess, hue.. they'll always be be lying sociopaths..

that's mostly what it takes to be in that party. Fox "news" et al sees to it.

[Loge23]

60. Domestic Terrorism, pure and simple

These people are terrorists. They certainly are terrifying.
They seek to bring down our government. If they could have yesterday, I think they would have attacked the President. Remember Jan Brewer jabbing her finger at the President?
Their hatred is palpable and real and every decent American should be disgusted and alarmed by their presence.

It's been said many times before, but the truth is a demonstration by Occupy outside the WH would have been met with violence. I certainly don't advocate that, but widespread disgust and disdain for these racist ignorants - and for Cruz and the idiot from Alaska - should be mainstream, loud, and overwhelming.

[Cha]

61. Definitely Teaorrists, who are pushing it

beyond the limit. How far will they go before it backfires with more than just low polls?
