And here's the living proof of it:
Does this remind you of anyone?
I thought it might.....
“Dale Robertson, a Tea Party activist who operates TeaParty.org, is getting stung for an old photo — taken at the Feb. 27, 2009 Tea Party in Houston — in which he holds a sign reading ‘Congress = Slaveowner, Taxpayer = Niggar.’ After the ResistNet listerv promoted ‘Liberty Concerts’ to be held by TeaParty.org, a source passed on this photo of Robertson…” WHAT? IT’S JUST AN EXPRESSION. (Keep in mind that the president of TeaParty.org, which will put on this year’s ‘Freedom Concerts,’ would be essentially the most important figure on the American Right.) |

That's heavy, HM. Two thumbs up on that one. |

Heh, pretty good, 'mooner!
I'm reading but can't yet confirm that this ignoramus got kicked out of the event for his sign.
Now, I know that "moron" is a toughy to spell at best of times, but, hey, one'd think that surely a hard-core teabagger could spell "nigger." I've no doubt that the word is a commonly used one in their limited vocabularies.

Thank you, Randy, Filthy. Of course, the inspiration for that was the famous "Crying Indian" commerical in which Iron Eyes Cody (Espera de Corti) portrayed a Native American shedding a tear for the trashing of the environment.
I'm of a mind that Abe Lincoln, if he were to return, would cry for (or perhaps have some serious words to say about) the way his Republican Party has been made a captive of ignorant bigots like Dale Robertson. |

Mr. Robertson has now followed stupidity with dishonesty. He has photo-shopped his preposterous sign.
There's a couple of things wrong with this, the main one being that it's too little too late. There might be a few igloo-dwellers up there around the North Pole who haven't seen the original, but everybody else certainly has. Our Dale has gone from racist idiot to laughingstock in record time. Anyone with any brains would have laid low until the public's attention span limit kicks in and it all blows over.
He should also ditch that dumb shirt. TX already has a bad enough reputation and does not require his further assistance.
