Better than Bernake: Part 4

So far in Lex’s “Better than Bernake” we have Favre, Climategate Leaker(s) and Glenn Beck. Today, how about those Tea Party renegades?

Never were so many so unfairly mischaracterized by so few. But it helps when the few are mainly Lamestreamers, politicians and actors. Hmmmmm, politicians and actors, are those two separate groups anymore?

These Americans were the butt of late night jokes and still they rallied. These Americans were beaten by union thugs and still they rallied. These Americans were called every name in the book from racist to some grotesque homosexual sex practice and still they rallied. These Americans showed up at the town halls and created news by making brain-dead pols (a set of the whole) squrim when asked unanswerable questions like, “Where in the constitution does it allow you to force healthcare on American citizens?” And, “You swore an oath to uphold the constitution. Do you ever intend to keep that oath?”

No matter how much they were ridiculed, lied about and tormented by the glitter class, they would not go away and they rallied. The second person in line to secession of the presidency referred to them as Nazis. Another pol likened them to Tim McVeigh. Most Hollywood actors and pols just dismissed them as racists. The worst thing you can be called these days, because you have to spend every minute addressing the charge weather true or not.

But the most vile epitaph was being labeled teabaggers by the by a class of hyper-sensitive weasels. If a Tea Party representative called Anderson Cooper of CNNs never watched “Anderson Cooper 360” a “teabagging homo” which happens to be true, all hell would break loose about how callus, hateful and out of touch the Tea Party members are. But if someone in the glitter class uses a homosexual slur against ordinary Americans for standing up against an onerous out of control government, well that is perfectly OK. It’s particularly OK when said government is being run by a Dear Dope.

It’s like the word nigger. A black can use it 157 times in a 30 minute stand up comedy routine, a 3 minute rap song or during a 30 second tv spot and nothing happens. Some white guy says, “Well I don’t think the word 'nigger' should be used so casually if at all.” Well Revs Al and Jesse show up and get the guy fired or suspended; the New Black Panthers take a day off from voter intimidation and riot and the Dear Dope demands a discussion about race in America. The same group of people who claim to be offended by Tom Sawyer because of the use of the word nigger, laugh, groove along and watch intently as their favorite black “artists” use the term gratuitously.

The Tea Party goers and doers suffered all of the outrages hurled against them and the Dear Dope’s dream of passing bi-partisan Dear-Dope-a-care by Aug died in hundreds of rallies and town halls across America. What was Bernake doing?
