Who the fuck are they? ... Are they here in DU?

Who is this directed to?

EDIT: Refudiate is a Palin malapropism ... repudiate is the word you seek

Tea Party doesn't equal white. White doesn't equal Teabagger.

I think Tea Party does pretty much equal white.

It doesn't mean that was the reason for the crime, but I don't think those people have a very diverse membership.

to answer for a teabagger's crime. Might have a point if there was a racial dimension to the crime, but I haven't seen that yet. Thought maybe I missed something in the coverage.

Here's a reference to the whole Tea Party/White People meme:

The shooter was apparently an anti-feminist. Maybe he got upset after watching Amy Schumer on Comedy Central making one of her somewhat crude-but-amusing "sex" jokes, or something...!

Meh.

weigh in to learn if I am right in that guess.

disavow, condemn or "refudiate" the shooter's actions, because white people are never expected to be responsible for, or stereotyped for, the bad actions of others of their race, while black people often are.

Where are the crowds of minorities at Tea Party rallies?

Answer: Not present.

With 6% other (Hispanic?).

But the Tea Party isn't white? You sure?

Refudiate is nothing more than a made up word blended from the two words refute and repudiate. It was first used by the darling yet fleeting star of tea baggers every where, Sarah Palin,

Word of the day: Sarah Palin invents 'refudiate

http://www.theguardian.com/news/blog/2010/jul/19/sarah-palin-refudiate-new-word

invented word and the average republican asshole that comes whining everytime a Muslim extremist kills people that the leaders of the Muslim community aren't coming out to repudiate the killings...Even when of course they do.

Unfortunately with sarcasm and reality being so close these days you need to use the tag on everything because lots of people just can't get it.

It's not actually a word, despite Sara Palin's attempt to make it one. It's an erroneous portmanteau of "refute" and "repudiate." It's famous because of Palin's use of it. It may be her one contribution to the English language, since it's now in use by some people.

I've counted at least five posters reminding the OP that the word "refudiate" is a made up Palin brain fart. Give the OP a little credit, people, doesn't the context of the post sort of tell you he/she gets that?

It sort of defeats the purpose of if you have to use the little thingy every time you post something that contains .
