[sabra]

Source: AP

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Gov. Rick Perry is telling tea party organizers across Texas to watch their backs for liberals who wish to do them harm.

In an invitation-only conference call, Perry urged those participating in Thursday's tax day rallies to "continue looking over your shoulder."

Perry was following up on warnings from activist Michael Quinn Sullivan that "some liberals are going to try to infiltrate tea parties with racist signs."

Perry says he's expecting "every dirty trick is going to get played on tea parties."

1. What a load

Man, I'm glad I don't live in Texas! :hide:

34. It's not fair to stereotype a whole state

Btw, in the 2008 presidential election Obama got over 3.5 MILLION votes here in Texas.
Although Obama did not win the full state of Texas, Obama won the cities/counties of Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, etc.

Texas is turning into a BLUE state, and hopefully we will vote Perry OUT of office by electing Bill White in November :)

[cutlassmama]

47. Let's hope so!!!

:bounce:

[PDittie]

52. He's likely running for Prez in 2012

Really. And please don't think he doesn't stand a chance.

What tx4Obama said.

[Arkana]

58. The guy's openly talked about secession. That's not going

to play very well anywhere but the Deep South.

[AndyA]

2. News flash to tea partiers: The dirty trick has already been played on you.

It's the "conservative" movement. Folks like Sarah Palin who are getting rich from your hatred. So keep giving...give until it hurts. Sarah needs a new Mercedes.

[eShirl]

3. why bother? they discredit themselves enough as it is.

[wolfgangmo]

25. Of course we should discredit them.

Make sure the media is invited and then show up with a sign that says, "End socialism. End Medicare."

[Cha]

4. Yes, the hateful lie slinging teabaggers are now the

victims. That's the only way they can function since they've already exposed themselves as racial slurriing, spitting, roadragers.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. This oughta be good!

Teabaggers can't help themselves when it comes to racist signs, so there's a high potential for, ummm, 'hyper-vigilance' on the part of the more paranoid members - made even more paranoid by the fucking governor. It's too bad he didn't warn them about misspelled signs designed to make them look stoopid as well; they have no frame of reference, so they'd start calling each other out even over correctly-spelled signs.

Yep, keep lookin' over your shoulders, teabag fuckheads! The vast left-wing conpiracy machine is bearing down on ya!

:rofl:

[bluestateguy]

6. Why bother?

Obama has the Patriot Act and warantless NSA wiretapping at his disposal. Those are plenty of tools.

[Dappleganger]

7. Aaaaaaaah, not those deadly SIGNS!

Actually, they should watch their fronts as well. ;)

[arcane1]

8. So they'll be going after their own, based on their own signs?

Damn, this is going to be entertaining! :)

[Liberalynn]

44. I so love when they eat their own!

:popcorn:

[niceypoo]

9. The, 'Teapartier as victim,' meme is heard a lot lately

It is the preferred method of explaining away the loony extremists within their ranks.

[hamsterjill]

10. Perry is jealous of the attention that Palin is getting today.

He HAD to put his two-cents in to get his name in the news. And what a pitiful way of doing it. Rick, Rick...get yourself a better press agent!

[ananda]

11. Nearly everyone in Austin is voting for Bill White!

nt

[hamsterjill]

23. Man, I HOPE so!!!!!

It would give me the greatest pleasure to send Goodhair packing.

I will be doing my part in that regard, as well, here in San Antonio!

[No Elephants]

30. I love San Antonio.

[hamsterjill]

33. Thank you. I love Austin, too!

I love that Austin, smack dab in the middle of the state and the state capital where all of the Repuke politicians go to work, is LIBERAL!!!!

[nyy1998]

49. I'll try to help in El Paso.

White actually has a decent chance if we work hard enough.

[hamsterjill]

56. Way to go, El Paso!!!!

[SoapBox]

12. BOO!

Ah yes...the FEAR (cue haunted house muzak) and PARANOIA ploy!

TeaScumTraitorBaggers? Hello?

You are being played like a cheap banjo by the usual suspects in behind the scenes manipulation!

The "smoking man in the shadows" herds you like sheep.

(Pick your smoking man...I prefer DickHead Armey.)

[rudy23]

13. HAHAHA! Now they'll blame every racist sign on liberal infiltrators.

I hope they tear each other apart out of paranoia.

[Autonomy]

14. This attempt at intra-group discipline

will cause an inevitable fading of the Teabagger zeitgeist. A lot of their power is from their passion, which is rooted essentially in various undisciplined, unruly expressions of contempt. So far, there has been room in the movement for grass roots eclecticism; anyone with a gripe against Obama, liberals or Democrats had a place at the party. Not anymore. Trying to make them fit a mold, enforcing it from above, will simply an attempt to transform them into something that already exists: mainstream republicans. It's essentially self-defeating to "de-racify" and otherwise make the teabaggers socially acceptable. Their whole shtick is that they don't fit into 'normal' society.

[rsmith6621]

15. FEAR......HATE....

What are we going to do...

[dmr]

16. He's projecting, attention seeking, & searching for relevance

:puke:

[TheDebbieDee]

17. Perry's inciting these paranoids a$$wipes to panic........

If these chuckle-nuts have been planning/plotting to do something, his words will only trigger these goofballs to act.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

18. Maybe they'll start ganging up on "liberal infiltrators". Then there'll be about 20 of them left. nt

[Divine Discontent]

35. exactly - I'm loving this - they're going to go off on their own because they have crazy signs

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

39. Bigot vs Bigot.... Hmmm, I just

got an idea for a comic strip. :think:

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. "...liberals who wish to do them harm" I'm trying to say that without falling down laughing!

'Course it WILL be easy to spot the so called "infiltrators": they'll be the ones who don't look like overweight white folks on social security...

[boomerbust]

20. Paranoia

Big Destroyer

[ej510]

21. Projection!

The repukes are good at it.

[onehandle]

22. Too late. We all know that teabaggers are undemocratic, racist, gun-centric fucks.

What is the America that they (teabaggers) claim to represent if it ignores majority rule, tries to invalidate Democratic non-contested elections, and believes in guns over discussion. - Keith Olbermann

[SargeUNN]

24. I called his office and this was interesting

They referred me to his campaign office as expected, but when I talked to them they didn't know anything about this statement. I asked them to tell me of why he would say this and they couldn't tell me a single reference. I told them we didn't need this and for the Governor to continue such talk was just adding to the nut cases and he should stop it.

[h9socialist]

26. If they're watching their backs . . .

. . . is there any chance that maybe they will be distracted from watching Fox Noise?

[era veteran]

27. Just misspell the typical moran words

[notadmblnd]

28. Yes, because there have been so many threats and attacks by left wing wackos

:sarcasm: Hey Dick Perry, can you cite us any incidences of liberal on conservatives attacks?

[John Kerry VonErich]

29. Translation

Get them before they get you!!!

[No Elephants]

31. Liberal "infilitrators" ROFLMAOPIMP

[Downwinder]

32. Anybody got a spare white rabbit costume?

[slay]

36. Oh yeah - ramp up THE FEAR!!! All FEAR all the time! FEAR 24/7!

you must ALWAYS be afraid - you must ALWAYS be looking over your shoulder.

Fucking idiot that Perry asshole is. It's the conservative nutjobs running around with guns, not us! THEY killed Tiller, THEY blew up the building in Oklahoma. It's ALWAYS the far right that embrace violence, not the left. WE WANT PEACE. WE DON'T EVEN WANT THESE WARS!! What a maroon.

[Mad_Dem_X]

55. AMEN!

Paranoid idiots with guns - WE'RE the ones who need to be afraid!

[Mr. Sparkle]

37. And this guy is an actual governor ?

The people of Texas have my sympathies.

[Divine Discontent]

43. Palin....

nuff said.

people will vote for anything.

and as for Texas, they had Dumya before that! They actually voted for W, in '94, over Ann Richards, a smart and respected governor! Dumbasses can get elected anywhere for any position with the right smear tactics and folksy stupidity!

[HughBeaumont]

38. That's a pretty elaborate assumption of us . ..

. . . since we don't exactly CARE all that much about the TeaBirthers or their moronic, spelling-challenged signs. I think letting themselves look bad without any help from us would be the better plan.

[LaPera]

40. Fucking republican thinking he came up with a sly way to incite more violence against liberals

then also blame the liberals for the violence....

But never the uninformed, uneducated, racist, republican/corporate shilling lunatic teabaggers!

Fuck the lying slimy republican Perry!

[BootinUp]

41. Keep spreading the fear and paranoia

someday you will reap the rewards you asshole.

[Jane Austin]

42. 80% Chance of rain tonight in Austin.

Hope their rally is outside.

[Liberalynn]

45. Their combined "hot air" will probably evaporate any drops that dare to fall!

:rofl:

[sakabatou]

46. BOO!

Did I scare you, teabagger?

[depakid]

48. The psychological projection and fear mongering never ends

One of those things in life that you can bank on.

[Jennicut]

50. Yeah, we liberals are packing heat and and have our own liberal militias.

[Rex]

51. Um, can someone please explain to RW mouth pieces that

we have PROOF of YEARS where REPUKES could not spell even the most basic words. DO THEY THINK WE FORGOT BUSHISMS SO SOON!? The Right has made a horrible tactical error, which is good imo.

[IDemo]

53. This is the latest move to pin the blame for bad Baggers on the left

What is this, the fifth or sixth statement in one week attempting to plant the blame on liberals for bad spelling, racism, and hate? Combine this with the headline of a couple days ago - "Tea Partiers are Wealthy and Well Educated" and you have what sure looks like a coordinated effort to keep the Tealiban from becoming just another cult.

Watch for all of the blame for misspelling, hate and open stupidity to be pinned on the left by the repuke leadership and the media.

[Mad_Dem_X]

54. They are so damn paranoid

It's called "projecting." Liberals very rarely resort to violence to get their point across.

[Arkana]

57. Perry's just feeding that rich persecution complex all the teabaggers have.

And we don't need to infiltrate their stupid little tea parties to make them seem racist--they do that just fine all by themselves.
