Tea Party announces it will "question voters" at the polls!

[Sheik Yerbouti]

rofl... ok baggers, you got me good and skaredid... pfft.

 

[dainthomas]

Just a word of warning to any tea party clowns, don't even think about it my precinct. I am non-violent, but I will protect my right to vote, and will not suffer fools gladly.

Unless you have a good tan, they won't question you.

John Boehner, beware!

This worked wonders in the Jim Crow south.

No shock that the Teabaggers are in full support of these tactics.

See you in November. Patriots are ready. See you in less than a week. Taking it back, stopping Obama.

Strong. United. Motivated. NOMORE!
Strong. United. Motivated. NOBAMA!
Strong. United. Motivated. NOVEMBER!!!!!!!

If I didn't know better I'd say you've been to a few Tea Party rallies. ;]

That's my own slogan I made up. It sounds great when you get everybody chanting it.

I'm certain all the voices sound wonderful, echoing inside your head.

That's probably what Harvey thought about his "song."

 

[CrackRabbit]

He's acting like Democrats before they elected Obama. He'll be just as disappointed.

I would go as far to say he is worse than any of the Democrats were.

 

[trenchfoot]

I don't mind folks hearing voices in their heads. I do mind when folks are having a loud argument with them in public.....or in this forum. Fun to watch though.

I don't know, the anti-Bush rhetoric around here was pretty ridiculous. They would definitely give Spidey a run for his money when it comes to level of crazy.

 

[JSt0rm]

I'd munch that shit faster than anybody can post a picture.

Love me some shrooms and LSD. You really haven't experienced life until you've had a good, strong, reality fucked trip. LSD can do it if you take enough, shrooms are a trip with training wheels. Munch enough of them and you can get close to 2 hits of GOOD lsd.

If you really want a trip, eat 5+ hits of LSD and hold on.

I think it all makes sense now..

 

[Lithium381]

wtf, how is this any different than gallup polls?

 

[Amused]

I don't believe there is anything illegal with polling voters. That's how exit polls are done. Nor is partisan poll watching illegal.

Cries of intimidation are rather silly, given the images of black panthers with billy clubs standing outside of polls last year and the refusal of the feds to pursue it. THAT is intimidation. Polling voters and watching polls is not.

You guys can make fun of spidey all you want, but he's correct in this thread.

Thats fine but all it takes is one spidey level crazy to try and stop some 65 year old black women from voting and the tea party is all in the news looking like fools.

Two boneheads in front of a Philly poll for 20 minutes and the Feds need to investigate? Pfft.

Long-Term Effects of LSD : Psychosis

LSD affects your ability to think and reason, and can bring about psychosis, an inability to think rationally and the inability to communicate with other people. Sometimes, users of LSD have psychological problems that severely affect their behavior, leading to unpredictable mood swings, paranoia and violent behavior. These effects can set in with just a single use of LSD, and can last for years, even if the person they are affecting has no prior history of psychological problems or disorders.

No, I don't see it.

Agreed. Kinda like the black pansy party in 2008, huh?

I remember seeing that footage. I don't remember seeing them stopping anyone from voting. If you have footage that shows otherwise please feel free to produce it.

Except it's not "polling voters" to write down license plate numbers of vehicles and/or asking brown people if they're citizens.

I suspect they've already accomplished their true goal of scaring off black, arab, and hispanic-American citizens from voting who don't feel like getting followed around and harassed by "angry" middle-aged white guys. So kudos to them.

What you're missing here is Tea Party likes The Constitution and wants us to follow it. If you can't speak english and you're trying to vote, then you need to be scrutinized. If busses are picking up people from outside the district then they need to be followed and recorded.

No where in the Tea Party announcement is any claim that they will stop voters.

Nor are the protests that they will stop voters directly.

The protests are of "intimidation."

I would say two black panthers with weapons is intimidation, wouldn't you?

Like the armed black panther party scared off white folks.

Exit polls can contain any info they want. Poll MONITORING (legal) can watch and record all activity.

If anyone is scared off they are dumbasses. The Tea Party memebers are not going to be armed and dressed for a fight, unlike the black pansy members.

I'll be sure to wear my Raza t-shirt when I go to vote at the Cyril Allgeier Community Center and will only answer in spanish to anyone talking to me as I go in. You should come harass me. It will be fun for both of us, and just a short drive. I may even ride my bicycle so you have no license plate to follow up on.
