Tea baggers just love the Constitution, which like their Bible, is open to their perverse interpretations.

This is what the uproar is about. Typical politicking:

Now consider this:

Tea Party Nation’s Judson Phillips defends endorsement of Torgerson over Ellison (http://minnesotaindependent.com/73121/judson-phillips-lynne-torgerson-keith-ellison); first paragraph:


Judson Phillips, the founder of the Tea Party Nation, sent supporters an email last night defending his decision to endorse independent Lynne Torgerson based on Rep. Keith Ellison’s faith. “Should Muslims be denied the right to run for office because of their religion? No,” wrote Phillips. “The Constitution specifies that no religious test can be used to exclude someone from public office. But when someone adheres to an ideology that says kill people who disagree with you, that is something voters should seriously consider when they vote.”

Good screen cap, WC, it shows us that the real lunacy is in the "Tea Party Nation." The franchising just continues to be pathetic and these groups are doing nothing more than "typical politicking" and putting out negative stereotypes.

But tbqh, I'd actually put TPN on the same level as the Libs that infiltrate Tea Party rallies to make the rest of the group look absolutely terrible. More than likely, they're a plant designed to cause an uproar. They didn't even get their info right, Keith Ellison IS NOT the only Muslim in Congress. They be trolling!

As ever the humanity is palpable while the topic continues to flounder.

(Perhaps that's best.)

Nite, all.

Typical politicking:

A strawman logical fallacy in which the actual views of someone are distorted and ridiculed/refuted as if this invalidates their actual views.

Yeah, I've never seen that one before.

Who has Keith Ellison killed?
