The Top 10 Craziest Quotes by Tea Party Candidates (so far)

The Tea Party is a "revolution" or so they would lead you to believe, but in the larger context of American history they're just the same nuts that always appear when a Democrat holds the highest office. But this year, the nuts on the far-right have taken crazy to a new level. Whether it's Former Nevada GOP Senate hopeful Sue Lowden telling people instead of health care they should just barter chickens or GOP candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky saying he thinks business owners should have the freedom to segregate lunch counters again, here are 10 quotes from the wacky Tea Party candidates that are sure to make you want to vote Democrat in the November elections.

1. "I hope that's not where we're going, but you know if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out." —Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle, floating the idea of an armed revolt by conservatives in a radio interview, Jan. 2010 

2. "I’m telling you that this works. You know, before we all started having health care, in the olden days our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor, they would say I’ll paint your house. I mean, that’s the old days of what people would do to get health care with your doctors. Doctors are very sympathetic people. I’m not backing down from that system." Former Nevada GOP candidate for Senate, Sue Lowden, defending her remarks about how people should barter chickens for Heatlh Care, April 19, 2010.

3."I don't want to be associated with those people, but I also don't want to limit their speech in any way in the sense that we tolerate boorish and uncivilized behavior because that’s one of the things freedom requires is that we allow people to be boorish and uncivilized, but that doesn't mean we approve of it." —Rand Paul, taking issue with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 while arguing that government should not force integration on private business, interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, May 21, 2010  

4."Instead of handing out the welfare checks, we'll teach people how to earn their check. We'll teach them personal hygiene ... the personal things they don't get when they come from dysfunctional homes. These are beautiful properties with basketball courts, bathroom facilities, toilet facilities. Many young people would love to get the hell out of cities. You have to teach them basic things — taking care of themselves, physical fitness. In their dysfunctional environment, they never learned these things." - GOP New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino, saying that the state's poor should be housed in prisons.

5. "I think that two wrongs don't make a right. And I have been in the situation of counseling young girls, not 13 but 15, who have had very at risk, difficult pregnancies. And my counsel was to look for some alternatives, which they did. And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade." —Sharron Angle, explaining why she is against abortion even in cases of rape or incest, July 8, 2010 

6. "What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP.' I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business. I've heard nothing from BP about not paying for the spill. And I think it's part of this sort of blame-game society in the sense that it's always got to be someone's fault instead of the fact that sometimes accidents happen." —Kentucky GOP Senate candidate Rand Paul describing how corporations like BP should be allowed to regulate themselves, May 21, 2010  

7."It is not enough to be abstinent with other people, you also have to be abstinent alone. The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. You can't masturbate without lust! ... You're going to be pleasing each other. And if he already knows what pleases him and he can please himself, then why am I in the picture?" —Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, advocating against masturbation in a 1996 MTV interview

8. "We needed to have the press be our friend ... We wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported." —Sharron Angle, describing how her campaign belives media should work for her and not the people, during an interview with Fox's Carl Cameron, Aug. 2, 2010


9. 'We took the Bible and prayer out of public schools, and now we're having weekly shootings practically. We had the 60s sexual revolution, and now people are dying of AIDS." —Christine O'Donnell, during a 1998 appearance on Bill Maher's 'Politically Incorrect'"

10."People ask me, 'What are you going to do to develop jobs in your state?' Well, that's not my job as a U.S. senator." —Sharron Angle, May 14, 2010

Tea Bag candidate for NY Gov. in hot water over racist and pornographic emails

Carl Paladino, the Tea Bag backed candidate for New York governor, is fitting right in with his nutty right-wing supporters after emails featuring racist images, porn and bestiality that the multi-millionaire developer had forwarded to his friends, associates and co-workers were published on the blog WNYmedia.net earlier today.

The emails include a video entitled "Obama Inaugeration Rehersal," which features African Tribesman dancing; an email with the subject line "Proof the Irish discovered Africa" containing a video of monkeys Riverdancing; and a video of a woman having sex with a horse.

I guess it's no surprise that the Tea Baggers are a bunch of ignorant, racist bastards but I did not know they also enjoyed bestiality. I would, however, be more surprised if one of these dumb shit's actually knew what a term like say, "socialism" means, than to find out they get kicks out of being penetrated in every orface of his/her body by giant, horse cock, but maybe that is just me. I guess I am missing something when it comes to the Tea Baggers. Their talking points basically include the idea of returning the country to what our founding fathers had intended, yet when you ask Tea Bag supporters or even leaders for that matter what they believe the founding fathers had intended they don't even have a clue as to what the founding fathers stood for - just what they want people to think the founding fathers wanted, in conjunction with their values. They tout capitalism and speak of socialism as if it is was the same thing as a communist dictatorship, yet they don't even realize that the founding father of all founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, despised the idea of capitalism, and even thought it to be un-American. But never mind the facts, it's not what the Tea Baggers want you to believe, and since they know the founding fathers so well, they will tell the American people how they thought, and in turn how they should think. When people exploit figures like Jesus and our nation's founding fathers, what they are trying to do is solidify their argument by associating themselves, and beliefes, with god-like figures. It's kind of like saying "I studied political science so I know that this bill is bad for the American people." But in reality it only means that you studied political science, not that you know whether the bill is good or bad.

It is true that Jefferson was a proponent of revolutions, and I too am a person who believes revolutions are needed to uphold a strong democracy. I also believe I took part in one when I worked on Barack Obama's campaign. Now that was a revolution and revolt against the right-wing powers at be, who had raped the American people of their rights and liberties for eight years. And they will do it again, if the Americans who are on the fence in regard to the Obama administration, or easily manipulated by fear, buy into this movement that is nothing more than a right-wing reaction to a liberal president, which has happend to almost every Democratic president since FDR.

The good news is Paladino, even before these controversial emails were released, had no chance at winning the governor seat in New York, even with the mess that Paterson has created for Democrats. The last time these horse fuckers tried to get a candidate nominated they lost a seat to the Democrats in a congressional district that Republicans had owned for more than 100 years.

But if you're a Tea Bagger who is reading this don't concern yourself with Paladino's problems because he has already blamed the emails on the Democrats, which I believe is rule #1 in the Tea Bag handbook, "If all else fails, blame it on the Democrats."

Here is a brief rundown of the emails courtesy of Huffington Post:

- Ahead of Obama's swearing-in ceremony, Paladino sent around a video entitled "Obama Inauguration Rehearsal." The video shows an African tribesman dancing, and is apparently popular among white supremacists.
- An email with the subject line "Proof the Irish discovered Africa" containing a video of monkeys that appear to be doing a Riverdance-style jig.
- A video of a naked woman sent from a government email account.

Paladino's spokesman has since released this statement:

Carl Paladino has forwarded close friends hundreds of email messages he received. Many of these emails he received were off color, some were politically incorrect, few represented his own opinion, and almost none of them were worth remembering.

We're not surprised the political establishment feels threatened by Carl's drive the take Albany back for taxpayers. Our campaign won't be wading through the details of what is just another liberal Democrat blog smear. It figures that members of the Party who brought us record taxes, record spending and record debt would want to change the topic from reform to having sex with horses and S&M parlors.
