My Friday report of the latest free-for-all among Northampton County Republicans has led to a lot of name-calling and the usual anonymous, personal attacks aimed at me. It's what I've grown to expect from the tea party extremists.
Here's what a Democratic friend told me in an email last night. "Back from a couple days in [redacted] to discover police were called to quell a disturbance at a Republican party meeting caused by a gay, right wing tea party activist. Is this Northampton politics, or an episode of South Park?

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Actually South Park is not only funnier but usually imparts a moral lesson of sorts.
ReplyDeleteThere is no humor among the teabaggers they are an anger and fear based crowd. As for a moral, the only moral is avoid the teabaggers at risk of losing your sanity. Or at the very least an ear in a brawl.
Moral lesson and South Park? Give me a break.

ReplyDeleteThere are lots of moral lessons in south park Bern. Look up a south park conservative for more insight .
ReplyDeleteSouth Park may have some morale lessons (although I think I'm with Bernie on that one), but I suspect that lesson goes right over the heads of most who watch it.
ReplyDeleteI'm Super!

Maybe Big Gay Al could be the mascot of the Tea party. Now that would be appropriate. Big Gay Teabagger Al.
