Turns out major Tea Party organizations are being backed by telecoms. Their opposition to net neutrality is suddenly less surprising.

I was woken in the middle of the night by this(along with the sound of my cat getting ready to pee on the rug). Think about it. It’ll be just like Colbert’s mockery of GW Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, but 500,000 people will be able to participate with him. We’ll all stay totally in character as teabaggers. The kid with the microphone that interviews all the idiots at these things can come by and we’ll ramble into his microphone. This would be the high water mark of American satire. Half a million people pretending to suspend all rational thought in unison. Perfect harmony. It’ll feel like San Francisco in the late 60s, only we won’t be able to get any acid. I know you’re out there somewhere, Stephen, watching LOLcat gifs along side us. We need you. There’s no way to have a logical public discussion with the teabaggers. The best we can do is to mimic them. Show them a mirror and hopefully some will realize how ridiculous they actually are… Or maybe they won’t even realize that they’re being mocked, which could be even more awesome. Note: This is a repost. First one never popped into New. submitted by mrsammercer to politics [link] [8 comments]

by Joe Tacopino Daily News Writer Sunday, June 27th 2010, 3:39 PM Al-Qaeda may have infiltrated the womb. In a speech on the floor of the House last week Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert warned about an insidious plot by terror organizations to infiltrate the US with pregnant woman. According to Gohmert, the plan is that women would give birth to terrorist babies who can then return to wreak havoc on the US once they come of age. “It appeared that [the terrorists] would have young women, who became pregnant, would get them into the United States to have a baby,” Gohmert said. “And then they would turn back where they could be raised and coddled as future terrorists.” Gohmert cited a retired FBI agent as his inside source on the baby conspiracy plot. “And then one day, twenty, thirty years down the road, they can be sent in to help destroy our way of life,” he said. Gohmert also decried the federal government’s response to state actions against illegal immigration. The Obama administration recently announced that they will file a lawsuit to strike down Arizona’s tough new immigration law.  Arizona may also introduce new legislation that targets “anchor babies” – a term for children of illegal immigrants. The Texas Republican thinks these babies may destroy us in the end. “They figured out how stupid we are being in this country to allow our enemies to game our system,” Gohmert said. “We won’t do anything about it we’ll even sue a state that tries to do something about it.” Five Filters featured article: Headshot – Propaganda, State Religion and the Attack On the Gaza Peace Flotilla .
