Between the teabaggers/birthers/deathers and other miscellaneous protesters...Nieroshai said:
And every self-avowed conservative and libertarian on TV...
And at least half of the Republican legislators in Congress...
And numerous high-selling books about conservative ideology...
And all the special websites that have sprung up just to cater to this far-right stuff...
I don't think it's just a few rubes with signs.

When did I call all conservatives idiots?Nieroshai said:
Not only does this have nothing to do with a conspiracy theory, but I called the people in the video stupid, and the title of the thread is supposed to be sarcastic.
I agree, I dislike it when people just follow the words of others, rather than bothering to see where they should be standing, rather than doing some of the research themselves. However, what I dislike more, is when they not only follow others with crusader-like fealty, but also incite violence against others, which is something that I have been hearing a lot lately. It is just something I've been needing to say for quite a while.Nieroshai said:
I will never understand the idea that healthcare leads to socialism, because hell, I live in Australia, a country with public healthcare, and despite my efforts to the contrary we remain conservative as. I cannot see the link between helping the poor and underprivileged experience a better quality of life, and social breakdown. Perhaps I should just sacrifice more Republician virgins to my non blue eyed non blonde non white unionised unchristian god.
Everything he said and did?Pigeon_Grenade said:
Seriously, even if you are a fascist, I'd rather have someone in charge that can actually ride a Segway.
The Klan is just the antecedent. Now we've got groups like separatist militias (these are the "right-wing domestic terrorists" that the DHS admonished us about earlier this year). Some of them are overtly racist, others less so. The thing with fascist movements is that they're necessarily opposed to unassimilated minorities, but they can bridge racial lines if everyone identifies as part of the same nationalist/nativist culture.Doug said:
Still, with the exception of one Asian woman, I don't recall seeing any people of color in pictures from these protests.

I'm sure that's true of most of those people, being put on the spot can definitely have that effect. I think what truly alarmed me was that most (regardless of whether they were able to articulate their anger coherently or not) didn't seem to have their facts or history quite straight.Alex_P said:
There was a teenage boy who stood out to me; he seemed like he had no idea what he was talking about and later looked to an older woman for approval. I know everyone teaches their kids their own beliefs, it's something that is practically unavoidable. It just saddened and scared me in this instance due to the palpable fervor and intent involved, a feeling I'd still have if a group of liberals were acting the same way.
Also, that was an extremely interesting article. Somewhat horrifying, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks for posting it.
Yeah, the kid was the creepiest part.twistedshadows said:
This kid [http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss288/MoronsWithSigns/mccarthyismwasabaaadidea.jpg] freaks me out, too. Does he know who McCarthy was and what he did? I mean, like, really know?
(As an aside: yeah, we all load up our children with our own prejudices and baggage. I think good parenting demands a good-faith effort to teach your kids how to think rather than just what to think.)

It's funny how as soon as the reporter gives them any facts at all, they stand there with their mouths hanging open like the 'tards they are.
