Tennessee Tea Partiers To GOP Gov: Stop Employing Muslims, Gays, Democrats!

[Swede]

Conservatives and Tea Party activists in Tennessee have recently pushed several Republican Party county organizations to pass resolutions criticizing the state’s Republican governor for, among other things, employing Muslims, gay people, and Democrats.

“The action or actions of the Republican elected Governor of the Great State of Tennessee and his administration have demonstrated a consistent lack of conservative values,” a resolution passed by the Stewart County Republican Party reads in part, according to a copy obtained by The Tennessean. (The Tennessean obtained two of the resolutions.)

1. That would be a quick way for TN to get a big lawsuit,

Hopefully their state officials are aware of that and will tell the Teabaggers to fuck off.

2. These guys don't know the laws

that were passed to avoid the kind of patronage system they'd love to return to.

4. They know ...

very well about the laws ... Well, they probably haven't read them; but they were certainly told about those laws ended the system that kept them and their brothers and brothers-in-laws in jobs, while excluding "minorities" and women.

They're called quotas!

{Do I really need the sarcasm thingy?}

3. The more I read ...

about these folks, I'm struck by the question: "Have more folks just recently become completely unhinged; or, were there always a similiar number of unhinged folks, but because there was no internet, we just didn't hear about them?"

5. There have always been paranoid kooks in this country.

Just google the John Birch Society. 30 years of propaganda from batshit reichwing preachers and hate radio has substantially multiplied their numbers and they can now fling their turds on the internet and communicate with each other.

7. The JBS never completely controlled a major political party

nor did they get such consistently fawning press as the tea party

The inmates now run the asylum

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Wow, I guess the facsists are gaining in power.

[Initech]

8. The rest of us to the tea party: shut up.

9. coo coo, coo coo

10. But they're all about "teh economy" and "freedom", according to their spokes-rubes.

11. Denial of employment to an entire class of people = attempted genocide.

Way to go, you fascist dickwads!
