Republican Introduces Resolution To Honor Anti-Government Teabaggers
By Logan Murphy Wednesday Oct 28, 2009 9:00am
From the department of You Can't Make This Sh*t Up:
Republican Rep. Tom Price, of Georgia, has introduced a House resolution that would, if passed, express the legislative body's "gratitude and appreciation" to Tea Party members who marched on Washington on Sept. 12 to "show their love of liberty and their grievance with recent government actions."
The proposed resolution is co-signed by more than 70 members of the House.
The proposed resolution would single for praise the "hundreds of thousands of American patriots, who refuse to sit idly by as the Federal Government advances skyrocketing deficits, taxpayer-funded bailouts, pork-barrel projects, burdensome taxes, unaccountable policy czars, command-and-control energy policy, and a government takeover of health care, came to Washington, D.C, to show their disapproval ..."
So let me get this straight...Price wants to pass a resolution that would praise anti-government, right wing extremists who want to overthrow their president? Really? If one single Democrat votes for this garbage, you can be sure we will call them out and ridicule them mercilessly.
Just to be clear, there weren't hundreds of thousands of people at that joke of a march on September 12th. And this was not an anti-tax march, this was a well funded hate-fest that was organized by Fox News and Glenn Beck.
You can read Price's entire resolution here. For added entertainment, click through to the original article and check out some of the comments. Didn't they learn anything from our Jon Perr's 10 Lessons for Teabaggers?

Cindy Sheehan, we'll think about pretending that Teabaggers are a legitimate political movement.
AMEN!
How about we start a petition of our own for Congress to censure any members who encourage such behavior
And fux news.

70 members of Congress co-signed this resolution criticizing their own behavior? What kind of idiots are these people, anyway?
... when progressives protested against costly wars, military adventurism, egregious violations of federal law and our Constitutional liberties, all we got was a bunch of bastards in the Republican-led Congress calling us traitors.
back in the 60's, bashed heads and arrested....

After this, I think we should all contact Congressman Price and ask when he will be introducing legislation to honor the John Birch Society, the Militia guarding our Southern border, the KKK, and when he will ask that Joe McCarthy be given a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom.
And maybe some recognition to Strom Thurmond for his work on inter-racial relations.
...but you can't say Strom Thurmond didn't work on interracial relations. In fact, not so much as seeking media attention, Strom Thurmond thrust himself into the middle of inter-racial relations!
Repeatedly and with gusto!
...
...
Clearly you got that from the start.
watched it...
Somebody tell me why that awesome movie didn't get the same mass release treatment that Harry Potter, Spiderman and that g*d-d*mned Hannah Montana movie got?
I rented Idiocracy years ago, then I rented it again. Then I saw it on cable. Then I finally bought it. Then I bought it for my friend for Christmas.
Damn, I'm tired. I need some electrolytes and sh*t!
Gotta go to work, or the bar...
teabagger wrapped in a flag.........how patriotic.
... they could have been doing their Wonder Woman imitation and try and squeeze into that patriotic corset thingy.

Barney Frank's famous "What planet do you live on?" retort would have been perfect here.

because "One Nation Under God" implied the Good Lord was happy Lee temporarily cessated hositilites at Appomattox. But then they offered him another anti-CSA button.
insure we have something important to debate next time Democrats insisted on tongue clucking that poor Joe Wilson.
I think this is either very hilarious or just plain idiotic.
Probably both.
We are, how should I say it, DOOMED!
to me a lot of this teabagger CULTURE CLUB nonsense is to deny/deflect the BUSH legacy onto president obama/liberals. these people are in major denial by design. they can't/won't admit that BUSH was wrong on many fronts. this is perpetual politics/cheap social engineering to move toward upcoming elections.
BUSH handed us a large budget deficit. BUSH handed us two mismanaged wars. BUSH handed us collateral damage from financial/bank deregulation.....bailouts. this caused a major credit freeze which brought on even more unemployment. i'm sick of these people and there inability to face themselves in the mirror and admit they are wrong period.
Mainly because these people said NOTHING while their buddy Bush did everything they hate so much. I will never respect these idiots....EVER.
Their pathetic attempt to re-write history by shifting blame to Obama makes every one of these people a disgusting liar.
I don't blame them too much though. Ignorant peasants will always be ignorant peasants. Blame really goes to the Goebbels-following propaganda artists on FOX, CNN and Hate Radio (yeah Repug asshats, that's what your right-wing radio is...ever heard of Rwanda?) who lead these sheeple around the pasture every day and night scaring the hell out of them.
the Teabaggers are our neighbors who are just as affected by these policies as we are. The difference is we don't have an authoritarian presence telling us that "we're right and everybody else is wrong." And we're not dumb.
And I also echo everything yakgitfuy said above.
neocons. What else is new?
THE POWER OF FAUXANDBECK COMPELS YOU!
*gets out holy water
it's time these elected officials actually worked for a living. They've obviously got too much time on their idle hands if they have to make this shit up!
I bet we will be the first country on earth to give special recognition from the our elected officials to people known as tea baggers. Eat your heart out, other countries.
yaaaawwwn... we're all real jealous...
co-sponsored the resolution: Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa.), and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.). Surprise!
Go here to read the resolution: http://washingtonindependent.com/65314/house-...
So these guys and ladies of the government want to give special recognition to people who oppose the government. Have they thought this through all the way?
Thinking is hard...it's reeeally haaard. Makes them want to go poopy. (Gawd I love Lewis Black).
The GOP is simply a representation of their constituency.
... only commies and educumated people do that. Are you a commie? Why do you hate America with all your thinking and stuff?
If I do some thinkin', does that mean the terrorists win?
I guess I need to break that thinkin' habit I have, for the sake of my one country under God tea baggers and all.
the lady on the right has a sign with nary a misspelling in it.
Call the cops, I think I found me another of them thinking commie anti-American bastards!
No...the passing of this resolution will mean the terrorists have won.
These stupid ass anarchic Teabaggers, who willfully allowed Bush and company to spend us to poor house hell, are suddenly now anti-government and are honored by the very government they protest against.
I'm with Fastfeat...I need a couple of beers.
Can I have the other four beers? Hell, I don't even drink beer but sometimes you go with what you can get.
... and the misses trained me in the art of the cosmopolitan.
we'll hook you up.
Sweet! It is 5 o'clock somewhere. Now all I need is for someone to direct me to somewhere.
just drink up!
It is truly tempting to click my bare feet together and go happily off to the kitchen and party down, but that must wait until my partner in fun comes home tonight.
... we won't tell, and I am sure your partner will appreciate it ;-) wink, wink.
If god didn't want us to drink, he would not have invented the gin (or the liver). And who are we to contradict the divine will...
I'm a purist. Only true martinis made with Sapphire gin, up, very dry and with olives. Hold the tea bag, please.
Shaken, not stirred... right?
Yes, shaken. The only Martini here that is neither shaken nor stirred is my little dog. If there is no Sapphire in the cupboard, I'll drive to the store. Be right back. While I'm gone, please put my glass in the freezer to chill it down. Thanks.
*cleans glass with his barman rag*
I have about three or four dozen martini glasses with all sorts of designs on them. This week and next I am using my Halloween one. So be sure that's the one you clean and chill. Again, thanks a lot.

NOW yer talkin'!
... looking at the demographic that dominates these idiots. It is clear that they will be extinct in less than a decade.
I can't wait until we finally shed some of these dead weight in our society...
A lot of these folks are future Darwin award winners, so there might be some hope yet.
I'd support the resolution if it encouraged teabaggers to decline their medicare, va and social security benefits.
Any house member that signs this should be removed from office...this is ridiculous!!
Shit like this will only help me get beat up.
...and some of those Obama t-shirts.
.
Have no fear, the Republican Party is coming apart at the seams. I don't know why but I have been monitoring Little Green Snotballs (Just go over there for a minute and check out how they treat the insane wing of their Party.) for a few days and they treat the tea bagging Palninista Bachmanner Beckinsteins like the pieces of crap that they are. The problem is that without the tea bagging Palninista Bachamanner Beckinsteins they don't have a chance to win anything and the tea bagging Palninista Bachamanner Beckinsteins can't win anything without the more moderate Republidicks. Their Party is going up in smoke. Sit back and enjoy it.
But will they take the country down with them? That's what disturbs me. They seem willing to do just that. "If we can't have it, no one will!" Scorched earth as they retreat is a favorite tactic of theirs.
...
that's great!
What is this, support for a minority from the Right?!
Hmmmm.... seems that there flag is purty close to the ground.
Hope she knows that if she lets it touch the ground, she must do the honorable thing and destroy the flag according to the U.S. flag code...
..... by burning it!
Oh please! You think they have idea one about the required treatment of the flag?
While they're at it,I think we should take the opportunity to formally honor Code Pink for all the hard work they've done as well.
Steele Agrees That GOP Should Cease To Exist In New Jersey If Corzine Wins
Steele is clearly trying to get fired by the RNC so that he can qualify for unemployment compensation. It's almost like that minstrel is trying to help progressives.
... he seems like some white dude with too much spray-on tan.
He even walks white, with his ass all clenched in and stuff. I think he is the ultimate insult inflicted by the GOP on the black community.
Ceasing to exist in NJ? Has anyone else noticed how small Steele's head is in proportion to his shoulders. Or is he just stuck in the 80's and wears shoulder pads in his suits. I am going to go with pinhead.
patriotism...I think that woman on the left should be arrested for desecrating the American flag! We got us some laws about that...
that this just further highlights the collusion between faux nooz and the gop as pointed out by the WH.
I'm betting both those ladies are single and haven't
been laidhad sex since the calendar flipped from 1999 to 2000. If they are thanking god for Glenn Beck, there's gotta be something funky going on inside them.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXyw_NyotHU
EEEWWWUUU!!!
but president obama didn't raise your taxes.......but but but but he raised the taxes on cigarettes.
you know the fiscal year for which Bush still was responsible.
I may have some disagreements with Mr. Obama in certain matters of policy. But just the mere fact that he drives these a**holes to the brink of insanity, makes him A-OK in my book.
that's exactly how one deals with this sort of nonsense. Offer amendments on the resolution to include anti-war protesters, pro-choice protesters etc. In fact honor all protesters on every side of every issue for taking the time to participate in making their views known. Let's see if the Republicans want to go on record voting for those groups.
I think it's high time Move On was honored and what about Media Matters?Great patriotic Americans one and all.
Wasn't it on the daily show where they had those three tea baggers who didn't really know what the hell they were baggin' about? Yeah, sure as hell we need to give special recognition to that faction of the citizenry.
...who refuse to sit idly by as the Federal Government advances...pork-barrel projects, burdensome taxes...and a government takeover of health care...
Wow I don't even know where to begin. Obama lowered taxes for 95% of Americans, pork-barrel projects AKA the stimulus package has been helping out states, and gov't is NOT TAKING OVER HEALTH CARE DAMNIT!
Whereas these individuals endured considerable personal expense...as well as lost wages in many instances;
Wasn't this on a Saturday? Yes it was...how many of those old white folks ACTUALLY worked on a Saturday?
Whereas estimates of the number of people who peacefully marched from Freedom Plaza to the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on September 12, 2009, range as high as 1,700,000 marchers;
1.7 million my ass!
Whereas special accolades are due to the grassroots citizens organizations across the country who helped individuals exercise their constitutionally protected First Amendment rights in the Nation's capital; and
Grassroots??? Since when is Fox News grassroots? These are the type of lies that need to be pointed out!
Glenn Beck will be going peepee on himself he will be so happy after hearing about this. I think the tea baggers should draft Beck to run for president in 2012. Beck and Palin, what a freakin' awesome team of craziness.
should be honored as well.
What a great American.Dammit.
Hell if the head nig..um.."President" get's a Nobel Prize,'least they can do is formally recognize good ol' Glenn.
Don't these politicians have enough to do instead of this political bullshit? Aren't there enough issues and problems to solve? Where do they find the time of day to spend on this BS. I guess they have all the time in the world, given the Republicans say are offering no healthcare reform proposal. But, as Obama said can't these guys "pick-up a mop".
There are those in congress that are "work horses" and those that are "show horses" clearly this idiot from Georgia is a "show horse".
Are Georgia Republicans becoming the new South Carolina Republicans?
... reading the Health Insurance Reform Bill that none of them have time to read.
A government action to honor a protest against more government action? Irony, anybody?
that should be the headline of this post.
These people are plain stupid. They do not just have a difference of opinion they are stupid. It is realy unbelievable to me that they hang their stupid out so everybody can see. They are so stupid they don't even realize it. They see their stupid friends doing it so they don't mind showing others how stupid they are. "Hey Marge, look how stupid I am." "Wow, I can be stupid too and you wont laugh at me." What the hell do they think when they see the incredibly stupid people on the news? Do they think, "Hey, I'm just as stupid as that guy." I mean when I see a liberal or progressive say something stupid on TV i cringe but these people gravitate to it. They are so stupid it makes it easy for the Becks and Limbaughs and Hannitys and O'Reillys to use and manipulate them. But then what happens is they get away from the Gringrich wing of the wingnut Party and start freelancing like they are doing in upstate New York and now Gringrich and Steele have their hands full trying to bring them back into the fold. It is too funny for words. Really!
Wasn't there a pro-gay marriage march a while ago in Washington? Where's the Dem with the courage to offer a companion HR to acknowledge this march?
Yeah, it will die in committee, as will Price's, but what the heck.
Q: How do you turn 20,000 protesters into 200,000?
A:Pass a government resolution declaring they were 200,000.
Standard GOP/Christianist propaganda. That's why they keep pushing these stupid resolutions honoring Christ/Christianity and asserting that this is a Christian Nation founded by Christians.
Dems are taking the floor to denounce Republican stalling tactics to pass extension of unemployment benefits. Durbin read the unemployment statistics of the 13 Senators who are blocking bringing the Bill to the floor and asking why they would punish hundreds of thousands of their own state residents.
Isn't it time for one of those "call your Senator" ads to appear in these 13 states?
The Right going BATSHIT last week over Obama winning the Nobel. "Where's OUR prize? I Want MY PRIZE, Nurse Radchit, I WANT MY PRIZE!!!"
what a nation of buffoons.
and I think: being an intelligent person wouldn't be nearly as satisfying if there weren't idiots to permit me to savor the distinction. So I am grateful for Glen Beck too.
Take your solace where you find it.
... I read the Resolution and above comments, until I laughed so hard tears were running down my leg
few dozens of people. Not even a hundred, I don't think. It was pathetic and laughable. Just a bunch of stupid redneck gooberish sheep, really.
Like Peter, Glenn Beck's herd makes me appreciate my intelligence and curiosity about the world much more. I always felt ostracized as a kid growing up in Kern County because my main interests centered around intellectual pursuits: reading, going to school, amateur astronomy and history, and also debating current events. Could never find others to participate in them with me, and I wonder how many of my schoolmates made the trip to Bakersfield for that silly event.
but the herd looked smaller to me. Even then with 150, it was still pathetically small for a city of 300,000 people.
these two highly skeptical and disinterested intellectuals are single. They appear to be quite a catch.
still have some of her teeth too!
event, as the photo file has "Mt. Vernon" in it, and the Bakersfield event took place on Mt. Vernon Avenue.
In which case, I am not surprised. Quite a catch indeed.
David Neiwert was up there for the crazy one's 'Key to the City' award last month.
:)
FreedomWorks (the Dick Armey Wingnut Group that put 9/12 on) posted a high resolution panoramic photo of the event last month. It is the most complete picture of the TeaBaggin' crowd that day I've ever seen anywhere.
I counted every one of the people in it. With a magnifying glass.
There are approximately 18,439 people visible in that panoramic photo. Being EXTREMELY generous, since there are areas I can't see (behind trees etc)...and where people were obviously standing, let's give them DOUBLE that number.
Final Verdict: That FreedomWorks photograph has less than 40,000 people in it.
The big TeaBaggin' Day was a fail of epic proportion.
Tea Party 1.0
Tea Party 2.0
Tea Party 3.0
Their delusion is as unfortunate as is their creed, and it all boils down to belief and denial.
think they'll accomplish with these rallies. They did it once on April 15th, then again on September 12th, they're doing it again now, but half the people who are thinking are laughing at the teabaggers, and the rest who would be in agreement with the teabaggers are too lazy to come out and bolster their pathetic numbers.
*shrug*
They'll often cite a concern for their liberty in hopes discerning individuals will catch their drift, so to speak. When in reality and on less frequent occasions they've come right out and stated their true desire, and that is for "Religious Liberty".
I feel as though they despise just about anything that does not represent their moralistic ideologies for a number of reasons. Most of them believe that god's law(s) exceed man's law(s) and the Constitution. They fear Hell, just as they've been taught or learned.
This is a true belief they have and I find it not funny, but unfortunate. These religious doctrines are very valuable to the people that truly benefit from them. Some follow the creed's to get through too the pearly gates, in the alleged after life. Then we have those who follow those creed's so they can live in luxury behind pearly gates, here in the present.
The bottom line... people don't like to be wrong and many will refute this claim whether it's true and or accurate. So we evolve as a society accordingly, as do all others. That's why the middle-east is such a challenge. The juxtaposition between Constitutional law and Sharia law is self-evident. I don't believe it is currently possible to install a true democracy over there as much as I'd like to see one. IMO, a theocracy & democracy are like oil & water.(no pun intended)
When we have people who believe in a spiritual legislator(s) above and beyond a simple man or woman, mischief is unavoidable and in some cases even condoned. Just think, we use to burn humans on a stake, have slaves and women weren't allowed to vote. How come? We're getting there, though many people have a lot to lose in theory and honor. I just wish we weren't hampered by the retards amongst us.
in other countries if that is what we were actually trying to do. What we are really doing is stealing resources and trying to control other cultures for the benefit of our corporate masters.
"They'll often cite a concern for their liberty in hopes discerning individuals will catch their drift, so to speak." I think they are waiting for some discerning individuals to tell them what to think next. Even the smart people in this country did not see the corporate take over of the US government coming. Surprise!!
If that doesn't say insanity it cannot be said!
No doubt about it! republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
Vote out every single one of these mouth breathing morons for wasting this nation's time on idiotic measures such as this!
Tom Price and Coburn makes me ashamed of being a physician and also makes me very skeptical of physicians aspirin to political office because usually these types are the worst of the worstest. he keeps sending these fliers that announce "you have been chosen as one of the advisers of the republican party on health care because of your standing and contributions to medicine blah, blah, blah". The first time I received that flier I thought my office staff was playing some kind of prank on me knowing my stance on healthcare reform but when I asked I was told these people keep sending the fliers to physicians in the hope of getting donations. Tom Price I am sure never practiced real medicine.
But don't forget Howard Dean. He's as good as it gets. I don't practice medicine and I'm ashamed that someone like Coburn was sent to the Senate.
For a second there I thought you said raping doctors
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxTVgP1NpLY
Takes the fun out of it, doesn't it?
We got Paul, Coburn and Price. I'd like to see the list of doctors in office. I know Ron Paul's Son is running and I believe he is a doc as well.
It reminds me of the Scientists whom don't believe in evolution. :P
Given that the Dems have over a 75 seat majority in the House. Even if it passes, it's still meaningless.
add it to the number of GOP's. As Scooby says, "rut row."
should not be rewarded or acknowledged.
"YAY! You stood by, cheered and waved flags while the Republicans raped and pillaged this country! Hooray for you, Teabaggers!"
This is also a good way to shame any DINO's... come 2010. Sneaky... veeeery sneaky. ;)
get a resolution commending them on what a good job they do knobbing on my balls.
Yes, god bless them for their self centered, me first, anti Christian philosophy of "let them eat crap!" I say we all go down to their gated communities and celebrate with them and honor their opulence and good fortune to have everything they want or need and to deny the other 90 percent of Americans the bare essentials of life. God bless 'em they're truly American Heroes.
