Tom Tancredo welcomed the tea partiers with this language:
People who could not spell the word vote or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House — name is Barack Hussein Obama.
There is no place in America for this type of racial and ethnic hate-mongering.
In these hard economic times, it is more important than ever for America’s hard hit communities to stand together. Scapegoating our problems on immigrants and minorities and nurturing the flames of anger and hatred will only tear America apart.
We’re hopeful she’ll live up to the call for tolerance she made during a recent interview with Glenn Beck:
We need to continue to be so welcoming and inviting of those who are represented there by our Statue of Liberty. The immigrants, of course, built this country. And I think Republicans, conservatives are at fault when we allow the other side to capture this immigration issue and try to turn this issue into something negative for Republicans.

Nice call, but don’t hold your breath. Money talks to Sister Sarah.
Wait till Sarah speaks.
People who could not spell the word vote…
iow, “Hello, Teabaggers!”
…a committed socialist ideologue…
iow, “Whoops, sorry about that. It means ‘bad man’.”
SARACUDA…..loves her some NEIMANS and BERGDORFS…………$$$$makes her world go round
I am amazed at the amount of attention this gathering of whack jobs is getting. But, yes, Sarah Palin should repudiate this Tancredo nonsense, which I understand was wildly cheered by the crowd. This is unAmerican.
And be ready with a nice vinagrette for the word salad.
There is no place in America for this type of racial and ethnic hate-mongering.
Obama spent over 20 years as a member of the racist TUCC group, and was elected president…
Where’s all the scumbag trolls come from on this thread?
?
uhm BHO..is black AND white…….oy the stoopit it burns
Time for another exciting round of Troll Bingo!
*heh* The tax-cheating Caribou Barbie can still sit on my lap anytime…! ;-)
oh, come on. Surely you’re aware of the racist TUCC.
The Urology Center of Colorado.

They only work on hick dicks.
troll
the vid
No offense Garlin, but what are you imbibing?
U owe Suz bigtime.
heck no — who do ya think i stole it from (laughing)
Let her go and show more of her stupidity and offensive opinions….
Aha, yet another FDL secret I’ve been let in on. Feeling more like an insider every day.
You are dangerously close to running afowl of the First Dude.
Palin will be happy to cancel her appearance and speech at the conference if it pays her more to cancel it.
There is an ‘inside’ here…?! ;-)
Oh, Eeeee, Of course you are….you already have long tenure. You certainly pre-date me..
oh snap
I was second
:)
there is when it’s snowing up to a foot.
Sounds like a personal problem…! *g*
well, I’m stocked up so it can snow three feet for all I care.
Btw, I’m eagerly awaiting ET’s take on the e-mails…! ;-)
I read mudflats’ earlier on how he broke the Tax Cheating scandal…! ;-)
Heh!
fingers and toes crossed ya don’t lose power from the storm e the e
We had sun for the first day in weeks, I do believe….Not going to last long. NPR covering the TeaParty Convention….Interviewing some long time supporter of Goldwater….Obama a threat. Is this being televised?
I’m in the class that came in with the live-blogging of the Libby trial. It was a big class.
How’s the Oregon coast doing…? ;-)
Palin won’t cancel.
The two big stories emerging on her yesterday and today are a tax avoidance scam regarding a cabin she, Todd and one of her former lovers share up near Denali Park. Mostly local ramifications.
The other has local and national ramifications. This morning MSNBC provided links to:
Some of Palin’s least favorite blogs, Palingates and Bree Palin, in particular, are asking their readers’ help in parsing this huge volume of material. NBC is also asking for help, and is waiting on release of more:
Of interest to the progressive Alaskan bloggers who have made similar but smaller records requests, is that the State charged us (Linda Kellen, for example) thousands of dollars for far smaller sets, but only billed MSNBC about $300.
Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
On Wall St, after email came in, we were warned NEVER to put anything in email that we didn’t want to last forever. It’s hard but it’s great advice.
Speak of the devil…! *g*
fine — grey skies but no rain
Yep…I got in at the very end of that…Alot had already happened.
oy Todd has fewer brain cells than Sara..
but British Petroleum loves him
Right – there’s no electronic “Fawn Hall Shredder Brigade” out there regarding email.
(((FDL))) I wouldn’t still be sane without it. (Though some may dispute the sanity assertion.)
Ditto that, M’dear…! ;-)
anyone want a comfort food recipe for the blizzard?
i certify you!..g
It was repeated annually in our compliance meeting. And the funny thing was that the 2 stock analyst guys who got prosecuted for their dot com recommendations were hoist on their own emails, while the female analyst escaped scott free because she never put incriminating stuff in email, so they had nothing to take her to court on.
She is the gift that keeps on giving…..McCrazy must be very proud…not so sure about Cindy….Out of here for awhile. Take care.
He’s quit his BP job. Right before the book tour, IIRC.
My all-time favorite Tom Tancredo putdown.
I’ll take one
what are you serving up?
We tried to send Masaccio but they wouldn’t let any press in.
Thanks for this Garlin — now that Palin cares about speech’n'all, she should have plenty of opportunities to denounce bad language when Republicans AND Democrats do it. Or, one would think anyway.
I want comfort food recipes for any weather including sunshine. Bad moods when the weather is gorgeous are notoriously hard to combat.
Dayam, ET…! Ya’ll got a sad MSM in your neck of the woods…!
We just ate comfort food! The local safeway is mobbed. No onions. People seem to believe they will be without food until next year, rather than next Tuesday.
Aloha, Rev…!
Oh man
that would be a disaster! But I don’t think that will happen. We aren’t due for DC snowfall.
yikes!
Good one.
TAI CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP!
http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Thai_Chicken_and_Rice_Soup_-_Kao_Tom_Gai
warming!
chocolate for you mdearie
it’s a joke, my friend, but the ADN is probably not going to make it through 2010. It isn’t entirely their fault, though. McClatchy has bled them dry to help keep McC afloat in their sea of debt.
oo
that’s perfect for a big snowfall
been in 4 hideous hurricanes…get out the slow cooker asap
Yum. I’ll bet it’s even better with chicken stock.
had some at Earthfare,and coppied it for a tenth the price
Chocolate mint shortbread cookies, in my cookie jar. In fact, off for a couple for dessert.
yea ginger and lemongrass too,but we can kis…
So wierd! Was 50 on my porch today in Denver, and you in DC are getting, what, 2 feet of snow?
Have fun with it! Although I don’t know how you possibly can without any onions…
yummy wow
That’s what we love about you, Jane–your childlike faith in the essential goodness of humanity.
yumettis!
I can haz sum dem cukeez?
seriously folks…be prepared to feed yourself for a week…worst case scenario…….power outages and such
oh that’s tragic.
They’ve been indispensable.
I wonder if Garlin will be watching her speech tonight. I know I won’t be.
Dang, and McC is the better of the bunch…! My local rag is a member of the Fundie Reichtards of Stephens Media…!
hahaha
butta…i love BUTTAH!
and no shoveling,
I am prepared, but I wasn’t the one who took the last onion.
Holding out chocolate mint shortbread cookies for all to share.
My favorite breakfast is thinly sliced cholesterol, sauteed in butter with a generous dusting of salt.

Ain’t nothing like the real thing
I’m cool. Got a case of Pepsi, a carton of Marlboro Reds, and some frozen pizza.
Bring on the snow.
p.s. stocked up at the library too.

What more could a man possibly want, Eh…? ;-)
passing out the milk, or Baileys — your choice.
oh shitte……….i just broughtup a lung
Baileys, of course.
Egg McMuffins?
I am soooo sorry I missed this thread.
Thank you for the post Garlin.
Big coverage for the loonies on NPR this evening. Kinda disgusting. Well, OK, revolting.

Just reading the recipe was the best laugh I have had in long time. Thank you.
Everclear.
Thanks for that.
LOL
Me too
Man, that shit’ll make hair grow on the bottom of yer feet.
~~~EDITED IN MODERATION~~~
McCain gave Her a taste of the good life, and You can take Her away from the moose’s, but not that good life.
To Bad there’s no way we can hold Him accountble for what He created.
I guess our savior was they lost the election.
At least looking at her doesn’t make me puke, like looking at McConnel and Boehner does.
~~~ModNote: We can afford NOT to go there, please.~~~
Thanks Elliot & Jane. I’ll probably listen on C-SPAN. Palin may surprise us and only put her foot in her mouth 10 times rather than the expected 11.
I’m gonna talk a little smack to the FDLers. If you get your knickers in a knot over it then – Mission Accomplished…
“There is no place in America for this type of racial and ethnic hate-mongering.”
No shit Sherlock! And what do progressives do about this and all the other obstructionist issues spewing forth from the bat-shit crazies and rethug brown shirts on the hill? We post snarky comments to each other on on sites like FDL and think we are doing something “progressive”.
Well I say Horse Shit to that!
If you’re gonna make a difference then lets get active and aim all our snarkiness and mocking at the MSM TV outlets and others like ClusterFOX News who serve as uncritical echo chambers for the right-wing distortions and delusions. Make it count – Bust their balls about how they are being nothing but shills for the right by never doing fact checks or allowing “guests” to spew distorted talking points without calling them on it.
Remember folks – We have to defend deMOCracy one MOCK at a time. It’s time we point our “net roots” clarity where it will do the most good – AT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA!
