The Freeper Knuckledragging Theocratic Oddballs are out at the Teabag rally in Madison

[zulchzulu]

As others have indicated, this is the best "enemy" Obama can have. And it was all about bashing Obama. Yeah, he's a commie. Yeah, he's a socialist. Yeah, teabags (which were boycotted way back when as well as was a protest against no representation). Last I checked, we had an election and the people at this rally voted for THE LOSER.

So, as I walked through the rally of a crowd of 1,500 people bussed in from the conservative belt of Wisconsin (Waukesha to Green Bay), I noticed a lot of the usual signage you might have seen at a McCain/Palin Hate Fest. One of my faves was where apparently some guy named Carl Marx was there with Hitler and Obama.



Nice work.



Yeah, Obama bowed before the Saudi King. At least he didn't hold his hand or kiss him like Bush did. This is an issue with taxation? Oh, OK...



A fair amount of t-shirts and signs mentioned socialism (via taxation) as an evil. Surely, these people used roads paid for by taxes and had police protection paid for by taxes and even were at a venue, the State Capital, which is paid for by taxes. I'd say that at least three-quarters of the attendants at the rally receive SOCIAL Security checks. A number of vets there (including some guy in his 20s wearing a Vietnam Vet hat :rofl:) also get benefits from taxes. Maybe that's not "important". One sign where "no freeloaders" was an issue was seen by me as perhaps an anti-rally sign, but I digress.



Of course, you could see "Obama Nation" signs and buttons. Yeah, it's supposed to be "negative", get it? What was interesting about the crowd is that I wondered how many people were unemployed at this rally. These people had voted for politicians who sold them down the river.



Not to be outdone, there were a few "Obama is the Anti-Christ" signs. There were a couple signs asking about where the "birth certificate" is. When some guy in the video feed mentioned he wasn't a Democrat or a Republican, just a "conservative Christian", the crowd bellowed with growls and spitful groans of joy.



I was going to interview people, but felt that they would just look at me and try to steal my camera. Plus 15 minutes there was making me nauseous. The guy looking at me in this photo gave an air of being a McVeigh-type who gave me a dead-eyed look as I took the photo. Yeah, there was a few Ron Paul types there too.

Am I worried? I witnessed what can be called the Permanent 20% of idiots who will always vote Republican and who are racist homophobes. I can spot them a mile away.

I hope the roads built by our socialist policies allow them to get their ugly asses back from where they drag their knuckles. Good riddance.

1. Hahahaha! Carl Marx!

[zulchzulu]

2. Yep... Carl Marx

Scary guy... I guess...

[skooooo]

11. Carl....DUH!! LMAO!

:rofl:

Don't read much, do they?

[vaberella]

16. Obviously not...~sigh~

[Renew Deal]

6. And "Part owner of AIG."

Who bought AIG on our behalf?

[Cha]

10. They never fail to fail in spelling,

do they?

[Phx_Dem]

3. If it wasn't for these losers, we'd have nothing to laugh at while working!

I love the "Cut Taxes" sign. Someone should ask this moron if his mother took drugs during her pregnancy and that's why he's too stupid to know he just got a tax cut.

[Aristus]

4. "Just Say No To Choo-Choo Trains"?

Jeez! How fucked up are these people? And what the fuck are they? Kindergartners? :eyes:

So now trains are bad? How did that happen?

[Peacetrain]

5. Trains are good... honest

:)... love your peace sign..

[dalaigh lllama]

12. Yeah. I was just going to comment on that, too

What's wrong with trains? And who calls them choo-choo trains past kindergarten?

[zulchzulu]

14. I would bet most of these people have never even left this state

Yeah, there is a Repig movement to stop a high-speed train that would connect from Minneapolis to Madison to Milwaukee to Chicago.

Who would want that? People with jobs! And a brain!

[endarkenment]

29. it boggles the mind

I understand the antichrist thing, the he's a commie thing, all that shit I can relate to some version of the universe I am inhabiting. But 'evil choo-choo trains'? Not in my universe.

[SeaLyons]

7. OMG...how pathetically funny...

....try to steal your camera???? :rofl: :rofl:

[paparush]

8. These Morans are protesting 2008 Taxes, Jan 1, 2008 - Dec 31, 2008

Paying taxes at the rate established for when Bu$h was in office.

Stupid goes to 11.

[rvablue]

9. Awesome pics and post, zulchzulu!

The more pics I see of this event, the better I feel for exactly the same reasons you outlined in your comments.

Obama could copycat every move of the Bush administration and these types would still be out protesting him.

Now, it's hard to believe that all of these folks make more than a 1/4 million a year. So I simply do not understand their logic. Under Obama, they will pay less. Yet, here they are. Why didn't paying taxes bother them under Bush....oh, right! Shrub was white and a Republican. Got it!

[zulchzulu]

15. As others have pointed out, where were these people protesting Bush's drunken spending?

Maybe they all just got out of jail... they looked like it.

[ObamaKerryDem]

13. Tea bag rally=EPIC FAIL.

Seriously, it should be illegal for this many morons to all be in one place at one time..; Props to you for braving the madness to bring us this great post, though. :fistbump:

[Dappleganger]

17. Look at all them white people.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

18. RACIST!!

:D

[Thrill]

19. The Anti Christ? Jeesh. These people are crazy

[zulchzulu]

22. That is the Ultimate Out Of Ammo Argument

To say Obama is the Anti-Christ does a couple things.

1. If you are a theocratic "conservative Christian" who believes in the End Times, this is a good thing. That means the End Times will be occurring soon, so you and your loved ones will be finding "eternal salvation". So you should be FOR Obama, right?

2. How exactly do you prove Obama IS the Anti-Christ? Based on biblical readings on this characterization, in Revelations 17, the Anti-Christ will reign for 42 months and will destroy Mystery Babylon the Great, which is possibly New York City. These people hate New York City. Again, so you should be FOR Obama, right?

:crazy:

[Dappleganger]

24. I remember back in the '70's

they used to call Jimmy Carter the antichrist too, LOL.

[MadBadger]

27. You should see the other side of the sign

[zulchzulu]

33. You're right!

A classic photo, my friend.

[TrogL]

40. Don't be ridiculous. I am the Anti-Christ

All others are pretenders.

[Vinca]

20. Someone needs to take names of all the people with the socialism

signs so we can be sure never to send the police department to their houses, or the fire department, or allow them to participate in Medicare or social security.

[alsame]

21. No pics of Jesus on a dinosaur? How disappointing. n/t

[mucifer]

23. That's a pretty big crowd. Madison is not a big city.

[MadBadger]

26. They were shipped in from around the state.

[Zynx]

28. 250,000. We easily have a couple hundred right wingers with no lives in that bunch.

[zulchzulu]

32. I heard there were about 25 buses near the event that drove from various towns hundreds of miles...

...away.

Madison is the capital of Wisconsin. It also went over 85% for Obama in 2008 with a very large turnout. These people were not from Madison, believe me.

[Critters2]

37. When I was driving home from Milwaukee yesterday,

I happened upon a Christian radio station. People were calling in and saying they were going to the Madison rally. I was right along the Illinois/Wisconsin line, north of Dekalb when I was listening. So, people were coming to Madison from pretty far away.

[MadBadger]

38. I heard from a wingnut that they were dropping them off at the Alliant Energy Center

They were being bussed over from there.

[d_b]

25. CARL MARX?!?!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[zulchzulu]

31. He may have meant Groucho Marx... who knows...

[ericgtr]

30. Look at the diversity of races in those crowds

Mine as well be looking into a bottle of Elmer's Glue.

[Robbie88]

34. "Proud Americans...Don't talk to Iran"

No...they just sell them weapons.

[agentS]

35. Never before have so few gathered to say so much about so little

If they really wanted to make their voices heard, they should call up CSPAN's Washington Journal in the morning. They led ANYBODY (I mean everybody) speak.

[Eric Condon]

36. OMG CARL MARX

AND FRED ENGELS

AND CHAY GWAVARA

AND VLADIMIR LENNON

OMG TEH SOSHULISM

[biopowertoday]

39. I want that lovely hat with the Red ribbon.
