For the last few years, the point has been expressed on this blog, as well as others, that the tebaggers are a violent, racist, and disgusting mob intent on transforming our society into something completely alien to our progressive democracy.  While we've all known this to be the case despite a lack of evidence, these last few weeks of vile teabagger demonstrations have provided all the evidence needed to put the question to rest and exxpose the baggers for what they truly are. Warning, this diary contains some offensive material.

Referring to this, Firm, in part of course.

This is the part that, apparently, should have us all concerned...

"Pick any example of abuse of power, whether it is the fascist 'war on drugs,' the police thuggery that has become so common, the random stops and searches now routinely carried out in the name of 'security' (e.g., at airports, 'border checkpoints' that aren't even at the border, 'sobriety checkpoints,' and so on), or anything else. Now ask yourself the uncomfortable question: If it is wrong for cops to do these things, doesn't that imply that the people have a right to RESIST such actions? Of course, state mercenaries don't take kindly to being resisted, even non-violently. If you question their right to detain you, interrogate you, search you, invade your home, and so on, you are very likely to be tasered, physically assaulted, kidnapped, put in a cage, or shot. If a cop decides to treat you like livestock, whether he does it 'legally' or not, you will usually have only two options: submit, or kill the cop. You can't resist a cop 'just a little' and get away with it. He will always call in more of his fellow gang members, until you are subdued or dead.

"Basic logic dictates that you either have an obligation to LET 'law enforcers' have their way with you, or you have the right to STOP them from doing so, which will almost always require killing them. (Politely asking fascists not to be fascists has a very poor track record.)"

But, of course, something is missing from that paragraph.

Psssst....

Every single citation of racism, hate, rape, violence, and filth in the piece relates to the OWS movement...

Not the "teabaggers."

I gave you the link. The missing past is the end of the second paragraph. But the whole thing is an interesting read... and not the violence that is suggested.

The evening's main event: a panel featuring eight county sheriffs (seven from California, one from Oregon) who billed themselves as "Constitution sheriffs." They vowed to stand up for the residents of their communities against what they say is an unconstitutional onslaught from regulators in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. In particular, they took issue with the federal government's misnamed Travel Management Plan, which actually is designed to shut down public travel in the forests.

Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood related the stir he caused when he said he "will not criminalize citizens for just accessing public lands." Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey reminded the crowd that county sheriffs are sworn to uphold the Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic." These are fighting words.

Sheriff Dean Wilson of Del Norte County said he was "ignorant and naïve about the terrible condition our state was in." He came to believe that people were being assaulted by their own government. "I spent a good part of my life enforcing the penal code but not understanding my oath." Wilson and other sheriffs said it is their role to defend the liberties of the people against any encroachments – even if those encroachments come from other branches of government.

As someone who has covered law-enforcement issues in urban Southern California, it's refreshing to hear peace officers enunciate the proper relationship between themselves and the people. Increasingly, law enforcement is based on an authoritarian model, whereby police have nearly unlimited power, and citizens must obey, period. It's rare to hear peace officers who are willing to stand up against more powerful arms of the government in service to their oath to their state and county and who affirm that their job is to protect their citizens' inherent rights. It's even rarer to hear sheriffs complain about the excessive use of force by fellow officers, which was a theme on the panel when referencing federal agents.

Are you talking about the genuine tea-party of Ron Paul and his followers or about the GOP(who stole Paul`s movement`s branding,name-brand and good name),.....which is RACIST, VIOLENT, and DISGUSTING?

As we`ve shown over the years.....in THEIR own words, time and time again.

Better bone up on your apologetics and deny/obfuscate skills there, Firm.

This coming election season,we are going to see things from your party that will make your party`s birther/Muslim/death-panal-nazi smear dirty tricks, look like love pats.
