    Classless and dumb, of course, but not a particularly inventive or involved racist hate-mail, I must say. I give it a 5.5 out of 10 on the Wingnut Hatemail scale.

    Well, at least the moran spelled everything right. And did the math correctly. Perhaps they’re evolving. And it will probably take evolution-standard time to get to second grade level, so sit tight, folks. It’s going to be a long haul.

    The discussion of evolutionary forces and their effect on voting and economic patterns should not be considered ‘racist’ in my opinion. It is really sociology if people are willing to have the honest discussion on race that Eric Holder accuses us of being to cowardly to have. I think ‘racism’ is a code word to silence discussions of items important to the future of the nation.

    ‘Racism’, in my mind, is illustrated by people like Hines Ward who, as an Asian-African descendent, has established a charity that excludes those who do not share his genetic background.

    In either case, if this is the most effective imagery that the Left can paint of ‘teabagger hate’, it speaks to the movement’s character. See Jeremiah Wright or Van Jones for a comparison. These two have made the choice to be openly public figures. This guy just seems to be fed up with the growth of the government, which is his right as a private Citizen.

    @Joshua Norton: Nordlinger is a clown. They got the name teabaggers because of the kid with the “teabag the liberal dems before they teabag you” at the Free Republic. Then they started calling themselves that.

    I’m trying to make sense of that “2 + 2 = 4” sign. My first thought is that it’s some sort of truth to power thing where he’s protesting Obama trying to make 2 + 2 = 5. But really, I think it’s more likely that he’s trying to draw attention to that 2 + 2 = 5, but screwed the math up.

    This takes my breath away. I fully expect some asshole like Michelle Malkin, Glenn Reynolds, Andrew Breitbart, or someone from National Review or Weekly Standard to find an incident from the 8 yrs of George W, Bush’s presidency to try to establish some type of false equivalence and conclude by saying Obama supporters enaged in behavior as bad as the behavior they now denounce.

    Sadly, this sort of drivel is par for the course for a certain segment of the population these days. The Great Orange Satan has taken to posting choice hate emails every week; mid-day Saturdays, usually. Some of those are quite a bit worse than this one.

    Speaking of Teabaggers staying classy, Orly Taitz has a Brand! New! Obama! Birth! Certificate!

    It was submitted by a Lucas Daniel Smith. Apparently, even WND admitted that it doesn’t match up with Kenya Birth Certificates from the 60’s, which prompted my comment in the thread, from Claudia:

    [Smith] stood up to WND and that alone, took courage, now I am really suspecting that he does indeed, HAVE THE REAL GOODS, in this Hopsital generated at the point of Birth, BC.

    Yes, there are people who actually believe that World Nut Daily is a leftist tentacle of the Obama conspiracy.

    White Southern Conservatives anxious around a black man? Say it ain’t so!

    “… to see what the president has to say tomorrow night,” Chambliss said. “I think he’s gonna have to express some humility …”

    Because those uppity black presidents never show enough humility.

    “… based on what we’ve seen around the country this August …”

    Humble armed conservatives?

    “… and that’s not his inclination.”

    It is interesting how the rightwingnuts feel so justified in their anger towards the government after being out of power for a little over six months.

    @Joshua Norton: Ugh indeed. Thank you for an image I may never be able to scrub from my brain.

    As for Oliver Willis’ response to the estimable Shaun the Plumber: I used to think publishing wingers’ names and e-mail addresses would just be sinking to their Malkinesque level, but the threat level from the right has risen so high that a Sunshine in Wingnuttery law is in order. If they want to issue actual threats – or make statements they are too stupid to realize are threats – they can’t be allowed to hide from the consequences.

    Only slightly OT:

    Saxby Chambliss, in re: Obama’s health care speech:

    “I think he’s gonna have to express some humility based on what we’ve seen around the country this August and that’s not his inclination.”

    Yes suh, boss! I’s not gonna be uppity or nothin’, sho’ nuff!

    Seriously, though, after haranguing Mary Landrieu’s office I need to call up Saxby and tell him that he needn’t inform the entire world that Obama’s dick is bigger than his.

    We already knew that.

    Shorter description of Teabaggers for Medicare:

    Will: You like that stat?
    Josh: I do.
    Will: Why?
    Josh: Because nine percent think it’s too high and shouldn’t be cut. Nine percent of respondents could not fully get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, “I have utterly no idea what you’re talking about. Please, God, don’t ask for my input.”
