This poor idiot made it five minutes in front of this mob, which I would say is the moral equivalent of 15 on one of those broncing bull machines. The participants at this Greenville, South Carolina tea party booed, turned their backs, and one boor yelled “Go home!” every time U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett paused. What had the fellow Republican done to earn such enmity? He voted for his own president’s too little, too late bailout bill last October.
In his surrealistic speech, Barrett tried to throw red meat to the crowd but they wanted a fresh kill instead — him. He better come up with a different approach if he plans to continue his campaign for governor in 2010. The fact that, according to one of his spokespeople, he was ranked as the fourth most conservative member of the House by the National Journal did nothing to improve Barrett’s reception with these drooling mouth-breathers. Man. These tea bag types take no prisoners, even from their own team.
Cool; the repub party continues it’s implosion! heh
“Pensito Review reserves the right to eliminate spam, hate speech, personal attacks”.
Hilarious. Why not just say that only Pensito is allowed to be hateful, use marketing strategy, and personally attack people? How infantile. Another tantrum tossed out as opinion. Another ranter blabbing and pretending they are not a product of hateful indoctrination.
If they embraced him they would be idiots, that they rejected him they are morons. Pensito refers to their “own team”. Er um, they were rejecting him. They were not blindly supporting him, therefore they were being something other than team-players. They were not being tribalists like so many, including Pensito, apparently are. You hold onto that hate though, you desperately latch onto that identity based on who you claim to despise. Keep on defending the indefensible too. What an original identity these days: A thoughtless hater.
