This photo blew up on lefty web sites yesterday. Luckily, most happened to mention that the guy was from Houston!!

He's Dale Robertson of teaparty.org. We hope we don't need to mention that he's not Dale Robertson, the Houston Chronicle sportswriter.

The photo was taken at a Houston event last year; organizers say they kicked Robertson off the grounds because of it.

In case you're wondering, though, he's still out there giving radio interviews, as the teaparty.org website shows. Whether he's taking spelling lessons, we're not sure.

Hellinahandbasket, you and people like you who think the only people deserving of any rights at all are rich straight white Christian men don't have any fucking business whining about "elitism." Or, for that matter, lecturing anyone else about "whining." Sit down and shut your whiny, elitist noise hole.
This guy was one of the organizers
JEEEZUS! "Want their white privilege back?" "His actions are absolutely, positively, 100% indicative of the Tea Party Movement at large. Everything about this - the shirt, the goatee, the fact the sign doesn't make any sense and/or is misspelled - is absolutely, positively, 100% indicative of the Tea Party Movement at large. Fuck 'em."???? It's that smarmy, elitist, bullshit attitude that will make Obama "One N' Out", Thank God! The fact that the "Journalist" that wrote this is still using that lame assed joke, "Teabaggers" shows where he's coming from. Fuck liberals, all they can do is whine.
"cherry picked photos?" This is the man who 'started the Tea Party Movement.' What's not to understand, Sambo?
"Minor Correction says: His actions are absolutely, positively, 100% indicative of the Tea Party Movement at large. Everything about this - the shirt, the goatee, the fact the sign doesn't make any sense and/or is misspelled - is absolutely, positively, 100% indicative of the Tea Party Movement at large. Fuck 'em." Because you been to a rally and saw this? No, it's because you've seen cherry picked photos that the left blogosphere have posted
Libtards, acting like well..., http://www.zombietime.com/hall_of_shame/
The first link is a worthwhile read. Two things stood out for me: 1. Robertson may have been kicked out of the event, but are those organizers aware that he's claiming to have started the "modern Tea Party movement"? The guy is promoting (apparently) a concert series/revival tour to "take back America" and making that uncontested claim. Since no Tea Partiers - including the kicker-outers - are calling him on it, he either IS the originator (scary thought) or they're willing to tolerate his antics beyond a one-time expulsion. 2. The linked New York Times article is a cogent analysis of the Tea Party movement in its "teens", as the writer puts it. Startling statistics in there about the undecided voters' willingness to vote for a theoretical Tea Party candidate. The stats about distrust of both parties and government in general are also surprising.
"they want their white privelege back." Dude, they never lost it. They just want more of it. And it's kind of hilarious how a group of people who cries so much about how terrible "political correctness" is wants people to be so politically correct towards THEIR bigoted asses. "It's not racism, it's ~*~PATRIOTISM~*~!" No it's not, it's fucking racism. Call it what it is and own it if you're so damn proud of it.
sal b, when do left-wingers use racism in their signs? give me one god damn example, just one fucking example. yes, they can bee assholes, but racist is something you have to prove. where were these racist assholes when we invades two countries? where the fuck were they? at home eating their hungry man microwave meals. it only took a black man in office to get them riled up, so don't act so damn surprised that they forget to use their dog whistle terms and go for good o'l fashioned racism.
I have to wonder if this guy is related to Congressman Kevin Brady, who is a regular attendee of Tea Bagger Pride events? They have similar tastes in shirts: http://blogs.chron.com/txpotomac/2009/09/rep_kevin_brady_marchs_in_wash.html
they don't want their country back. they want their white privelege back.

*facepalm*
His actions are not indicative of the conservatives in/out of the TEA Party Movement. Much like the "crazy, insane, etc" left-wingers out there.
