Recently the Tea Party held a
political event on the grounds of the Arizona State Capitol. A reporter came to the event to document the
speeches being given, but he was recognized as an individual that might not see
it exactly the way the Tea Partiers would have liked it reported.
Their reaction was at first, to just try to make it difficult for him. They somehow came to the conclusion that the State Capitol grounds had somehow become private property when they got a permit to gather; it had not. They also apparently thought that they got to approve, authorize and accept who was going to be there and that they could limit access; they could not. All of these erroneous thoughts left them with the idea that they could make the man leave; and they could not. There was no legal justification for these Tea Party Members to prevent a new media person, or just a citizen on public property, from video-taping their speeches, and yet they thought they could. I would identify the problem as being related to the fact that these people were Neanderthal morons so often times associated with the Tea Party.

In this case, they were clearly
“biker-types.” These individuals had
long, unkempt grey beards, long grey head hair, jean or leather jackets with
numerous motorcycle “club” patches on them.
They used words like “Motherf**ker”
this and “Motherf**ker” that. This
language was more indicative of the complete lack of sophistication the people
had. They also lacked anything
resembling “class.” OK, they had class,
but it was all low class. These Tea
Party members had all the class one would expect of a wanna-be motorcycle gang;
big soft bellies, on both the men and women; hugely sagging breasts suggestive
of softballs in sweat socks; too much make up, ratty grey hair. Oh ya, they were classy folks alright, and
the acted exactly consistent with their appearance.
They engaged in the usual tactics
of the school-yard bully. They
approached the man, first trying to block his view and spewing their tripe
about it being private property. These
morons thought the State Capital Grounds could be private property, a blunder
of monumental proportion, but these gentlemen, and ladies, had no interest in
what was right or true, they wanted to do whatever they wanted to do. What they wanted to do was make this man leave,
and it became clear that they would use force if necessary, those Second Amendment remedies, but the reporter
stood his ground. Even the speaker
tried to point out to the crowd that the reporter had Rights under the First Amendment, but this did
not deter our group of troglodytes, no way.
The next action was to push the
reporter with their rather large beer-infused bellies. While doing so on video tape, they narrated
how the reporter was pushing them, in spite of the video tape showed them belly
bumping the reporter, in an effort to move the reporter out of the way. I was reminded of a grade-school bully who
would grab another weaker kid’s arm and start hitting him with his own arm, the
whole time saying, “Why ya hittin’ yourself?”
Huh? Why ya hittin’ yourself? It was just pathetic on so many levels. It was an embarrassment is what it was, and I
was appalled.
This group clearly thinks they
have all the rights to the First Amendment to the exclusion of all others. When this reporter stated he had his First
Amendment Rights, the crowd was reduced to calling him a “COMMIE,” because we
all know that Communists don’t have Free Speech Rights in the United States,
right?
This Tea Party group exhibited every hypocritical and abusive behavior for which they have become the brunt of jokes and for which they are reviled. Hell they did elect Jan Brewer as their Governor. They deserve to be the brunt of jokes with a Governor like that. They have clearly found the least common denominator to represent them in Arizona, a fellow moron!
