Who put the "ur" in "Thursday"? Please come CAPTION this clueless Teabagger!!!


This Teabagging node, Matt Hatter, just finished saying to a reporter, "Heck, little lady, this sign don't make me no racist. . . . I'm just trying to speak a language that Obama and his type can understand. . . . How the heck does anyone find racism in that???? . . . Geez!"

5. I wasn't aware that there were any English dialects that changed
when and when not to use an apostrophe and don't get me started on the double negative.

I'll bet this guy is an "English only" nut as well.

18. I don't find it racist...
...in fact, the sign looks pretty accurate to me, if one can disregard the grammer and punctuation. But I'll bet the guy's still a Dick.

20. It's the "be pimping" which shows his colors. That word choice would not be used during an earlier

administration. No way to prove that, of course, but if one thinks honestly about it, that would be an accurate conclusion. (And I'm neither into political debate or epistemological doodlings.)

21. Sure it's 'be pimpin', but....
...isn't that what the Republicans are doing? And a lot of Dems too? As an old white guy, I could be offended that language with it's roots in the black community is creeping into eveyday usage, but I'm not.

But I'll bet most Teabaggers are!!!

23. He thinks it's cute to inject black dialectic in a sign used by a protest of
98% white people who will, in turn, chuckle at what they might call "wit" but which the writer and the reader both know is a racial "goof," to be nice. A "look, I be jivin'!" kind of joke. (In a bar, in a dancehall with mixed races, this might be fine. But at a (vast) majority white event protesting the spending of (largely) Democrats led by an African-American President, it is "charged."

I'm an old white guy, too. And radically against "political correctness," but my interpretation has nothing to do with that. It's an accurate analysis of how this sign is working from the speaker's and reader's point of view . . . and he, pathetically, expects those seeing him through the media to join in his rancid chuckle. It's pretty light-weight, but sickening nonetheless.
