1. The level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me, time and again.

[Enthusiast]

9. The level of misinformation

that these people are fed never ceases to amaze me. And it isn't only Fox News and AM radio, it is on NRP and even MSNBC.

Yes, they are stupid for never questioning this misinformation but they are bombarded with it 24/7.

[Lena inRI]

39. But Malloy's bold commentary. . .

. . .better heard in the video clip down thread, is clearly explaining away any amazement you or anyone has about these people's stupidity:

R A C I S M.

But I'd like to add "deeper envious anti-intellectualism.

Think of it this way. . .scratch a teabagger racist, you'll find an uneducated non-achiever.

Mr. President Obama and Michele Obama, with their excellence in education and accomplishments, are too much for these LOSERS to bear.

Racism has thrived on trashing the black population as UNDER these uneducated, underachieving whites.

How can they stop their cognitive dissonance which has them truly believing they are BETTER than blacks when there's a black couple in the White House?

They get around the Obamas' intellectual superiority by faking outrage about taxes and claiming they're more LIKE TRUE PATRIOTS/FOUNDERS than the Obamas. . .ya know, he's not a real native born American spiel.

Yeah. . .good ole N A T I V I S M has resurfaced like so many times before in our history.

NATIVISM=SELF-HATE.

Cure would be making sure the nativists' kids are better educated to become the intellectuals they are so envious of in the persona of Barack and Michele Obama.

2. So, the take-home message is-

Tax exempt corporations and high-income earners shouldn't move their firms off-shore. They never should have gotten welfare-state treatment, and we should have raised the cap on income taxes like they were under Eisenhower's administration, to MUCH higher level

OH! THOSE GOOD OLE DAYS!

They know not what they protest! (read: international corporations, not giving one red cent to the workers who enabled their corporations in the first place!)

Looks like these morons got the wrong message before parading around with their signs and tea-bags.

Hey teak-a-thons... how bout showing up at City Bank, or Bechtel's place of business with your, "I want my country back" signs. Maybe THEN I'll join you... until then, load up your well-educated selves with some real information!

[karmkay]

3. If Malloy weren't laughing

he'd be crying. H.L. Mencken nailed it years ago. "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."

[PSzymeczek]

23. Or he'd be screaming. n/t

[perdita9]

4. Tea Bag Freaks

One of the better labels I've heard to describe the ill-informed and ignorant amoung us.

[Radical Activist]

5. I could have sent this to a couple teabaggers I know

if he weren't such a condescending asshole about it. Way to reaffirm that "liberal elitist" label, buddy.

[eagertolearn]

29. I Agree!

[hay rick]

35. Do the teabaggers merit respect?

I can't think of a nice way to tell people they have been duped and are spouting nonsense. And I don't think it's worth the effort. We're not going to persuade teabaggers of the error of their ways by confronting them with facts that undermine their beliefs. They will simply dismiss or ignore what we offer and continue to seek and stockpile more anecdotes that confirm their belief system.

Maybe it's more constructive to publicly ridicule the teabaggers to discourage others from joining them.

[Radical Activist]

43. Yes, all people deserve respect.

Even ones who take the dishonest claims of teaparty organizers at face value. Especially when the radical left is offering no real alternative beyond ineffective, centrist Democratic politics.

[DRex]

6. Half-wit seems too generous IMO.

To be willfully, hatefully ignorant is far worse than to be plain stupid. I have stupid friends and they're lovely. They would never say the kinds of things these teabaggers say.

[DWinNJ]

7. How many Tea Partiers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

How many Tea Partiers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

According to Fox News:
It looked like there were about 1 million people.

According to the Census Bureau:
We don’t have a number because the Tea Partiers refused to be counted.

According to James Dobson:
There should be no screwing of any kind.

According to President Obama:
It doesn’t matter how many or who does it this is a change we can believe in.

According to Glen Beck:
It all makes sense. When you have something bad, it’s lefty loosey; when you want to make something good work, it’s tighty righty.
If you take the phrase Barack “Ultra Liberal” Obama you can see the hidden message
(B)arack “(U)ltra (L)iberal” O(B)ama

According to John Boehner:
Nancy Pelosi with her “San Francisco values” uses florescent bulbs, which reduces consumption and is the real reason for the financial meltdown.

According to Sean Hannity:
Nancy Pelosi with her “San Francisco values” uses florescent bulbs, which reduces consumption and is the real reason for the financial meltdown.

[abq e streeter]

8. LOL-those are great

[Turborama]

15. LOL Great stuff, the Glenn Beck one was the best n/t

[athenasatanjesus]

16. lol This should have it's own topic. nt

[Stumbler]

17. Nicely done

But I think Boehner takes his talking-points from Hannity, not the other way around as it appears in your post. Thanks for the laugh though.

[bullwinkle428]

32. And Hannity in turns gets them from Mark Levin!!

[zbdent]

19. according to Sarah Palin ... "all of them"

according to zbdent: Two ... but they have to be very small ...

[DWinNJ]

49. According to Sarah Palin

You can't screw it in because only a dead fish goes with the threads

[graycem]

28. Haha...

I wish I had Glen's knack for hidden messages... I sure could use $32 million these days! Funny schtuff :-)

[Number_Six]

10. "The Stupid Party"

I think it time we rebrand them for what they are: Stupid.

The Stupid Party, yes.

[valerief]

11. Thanks, Mike! Great list! nt

[ooglymoogly]

12. Nice to here from smart people kr nt

[Ken Burch]

13. Good list.

But did he have to have the "mad scientist" lighting?

[BrklynLiberal]

14. It would seem that they do not want to believe ANYTHING that is actually true.

[edwinmathews]

18. So why is

Palin so popular

[BrklynLiberal]

21. HUH?????????????

[Arugula Latte]

22. She is very popular -- but only among the very stupid.

[Canuckistanian]

25. Palin "unpopular" among 55% of the population

Granted, it was in Feb., but that trend hasn't shifted from downwards.

[zenprole]

20. 6-5 and Pick 'Em

Nice video. See also the Boston Globe story/video on the recent "rally" on the Common. Staggering.

The trouble is, the teabaggers aren't alone. I don't know what's worse, the factually-challenged terminally racist or liberals drunk on fig leaves who think the sun shines out Obomber's crack. Malloy makes a nice aside about tax policy and the current administration's 'socialism'...which is what you get when the candidate gets truckloads of cash from Wall Street. Oh yeah, this is definitely a people's president.

"Sweep on, ye fat and greasy citizens!" - Bill Shakespeare, As You Like It

[unpossibles]

31. the factually-challenged terminally racist are far worse

Seriously.

[blackbart99]

38. And they are dangerous as well.......

[ashling]

24. Pro-actively ignorant

Cognitive dissonance theory describes the way in which we deal with holding 2 dissonant thoughts, and specifically, one of which is "new" - a challenge to the accepted cognition which we hold. The dissonance is so uncomfortable that it must be reconciled. It has been suggested that the drive to do so is as strong as our drive for food and water.

One way is to think critically and assess "new" information logically. Educators utilize this method in teaching. Another way is to deny the validity of the "new" cognition.

Many Tea Partiers employ this second method.

There is a third, however, which is even more harmful, and is also prevalent in this group: they just refuse to hear the "new" cognition; treat it as if it does not exist. (as my daughter teenage daughter used to do as she turned her head and held her hand out as a barrier against whatever I had to say: "Talk to the hand")

These people make this third method into a high art. They are pro actively ignorant. I don't remember who said it, but I used to have a quote written on a card in my wallet--it was so worn from my folding it and unfolding it that it finally crumbled--and I might no remember it correctly. The gist of it, however, is just this: there is no difficulty to which man (or was it "a man" - the Buz Aldrin conundrum which comes with old age) will not go to avoid the true labor of thinking.

James Garner once described his TV character, Maverick, as someone who would walk many blocks out of his way to avoid a confrontation. Tea Partiers will go miles (figuratively) out of their way to avoid being confronted with a new thought.

This must be why Sarah Palin is so enamored with everything "mavricky."

[krkaufman]

26. "You might be a Teabagger if ... "

I'd love to see someone do a rip-off of the Jeff Foxworthy "you might be a Red-neck" routine... but aimed at Teabaggers.

e.g. "You might be a Teabagger if ..."

• You've ever yelled, "Keep your government hands off my Medicare!"
  
  
• You consider yourself a "pro-torture Libertarian."
  
  
• You find yourself chanting "Reduce the Deficit!" and "Starve the Beast!" at the same rally.
  

(note: all of the above have been witnessed, either in the media or personally)

[krkaufman]

34. Why can't Malloy get bigger syndication if he's so honest?

http://www.mikemalloy.com/stations/

A mere FOUR stations in some liberal areas of the US broadcast his show. F-O-U-R!

And anywhere in the US you can hear the lies of Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Bill Cunningham, and the VRWC. smh

[Crowman1979]

47. Well once the Limbaugh loses his voice, Beck commits suicide and Hannity goes to jail.

Then I think there will be a gigantic void in talk radio soon after.

[feslen]

36. they're just a bunch of racists

who think they can make a big hissy fit because the 'liberal' media covers their idiocy. the news media should just STOP COVERING THEM...these moronic racists are about as useful and important as a disease-carrying mosquito.

48. I love to read to comments from all the wingnuts.

Especially the ones who can't spell. My favorite is the person who thought Mike was a communist cook. LOL

[EFerrari]

52. Bienvenido!

:hi:

[marew]

42. Regarding business taxes...

I remember watching a couple of economists talking not too long ago saying that American corporations actually do pay among the lowest rates in the world. They said that business gets incredibly high write offs before taxes are even figured but corporations never tell us that.
I agree with everything Malloy said plus the fact that the tea-psychos can't take there is a black man in the White House... they'd rather have the Bush crime family back. And little brother Jeb is still trying to screw up Florida politics from behind the scenes. Sheesh!

[EFerrari]

51. God I love Mike Malloy.
