Hilarious teabagger at the convention dressed like a Scottish guy with a fake accent

From wonkette:

Live From The Tea Party Convention, It’s "Button Gwinnett"


Nine huzzahs, a bucket of toilet water and a two cartons of Luckies to C-SPAN, for making what appears to be the most comical collection of Tea Party Convention videos thus far — which really shouldn’t be very hard. Here is some Georgia speed freak, bulging eyes and all, dressed like a Scottish person and speaking with a Scottish dialect (but only when he wants to). He is “representing” a dead person named Button Gwinnett, one of Georgia’s two signers of the Declaration of Independence, a fact that, until now, only fourth-graders in Georgia had known. Now let’s find a Sarah Palin fan!

Thank you C-Span for exposing pure nuttiness in all it's glory.

:rofl:

1. How do they expect anyone to take them seriously?
It's like having the President do a town hall with someone dressed like Rosa Parks standing behind him. Which is not to slight her but it WOULD BE WEIRD!!!!

3. There is a reason these people feel marginalized
They're clowns and I suspect they always have been and they always will be the.

4. Wow! The ignorance is abundant. You just wonder where the other half
of their brains went at birth.

7. Ratigan had him on
and it was for comedic effect, despite some people thinking he's a tea bagger sympathizer.

12. AND AND return to the principals of the constitution
DIDN'T THE CONSTITUTION SAY something to the effect that all men are created equal. If this is a principal of the constitution then why the heck are the tea bags so racist.
