They are afraid of the "others" gaining control and taking revenge on them for their past cruelty....

That is all!

went on the air.

Their irrational fear has nothing to do with politics, it has to do with "news" people telling them to be afraid of everything and everybody. Don't underestimate the power of the media, and especially television.

And Teabaggers are afraid of so many things that it constantly amazes me that they even come out of their hovels!

I've met some of them. During the Bush Years some of them couldn't have told you who was President and if they did know it was Bush they wouldn't have been able to tell you anything but that he was from Texas. No clue which political party he was in.

The war? Meh. Didn't affect them but they could tell you the name of the people on Survivor and that the guy who ran around naked was gay.

Then one day they woke up to find a black man was in the White House. They turned on the "news" (FOX) and heard that he stole the office by having armed guards at the polls running off white voters and through voter fraud with an organization called ACORN. Then they hear he isn't even an American, he's from some little country in Africa and he's not even a Christian, he's a Muslim. Then they hear the stock market crashed and the "news" (FOX) says it's because he looted the treasury to increase welfare for black people. Then you hear that he's giving black people free cell phone and then he's stealing from white people's Medicare to pay for free health care for black people. Then they hear he wants to set up death panels to kill old white people just like them.

This is their world.

This is why "a GOP leader" (Cruz?) who breathes this stuff can be invited to the White House and say, "I can't even stand looking at you."

You hit on every point I was thinking of, and then some. I have had to listen to this crap for 5 years. I used to remain silent, then I have them a crazy look, then I laughed out loud and as of yesterday, I started telling them they're passing on a lie and whoever they heard it from is a liar.

Tomorrow are our 2 open enrollment meetings. I won't be going to the one with the RWNJs of the company.

It's amazing how crazy and paranoid some people can be, but you put it out there.

In fact, his idea of being "fair" is to throw all of that in Obama's face and then Chuck claims he should be praised because he's offering Obama the opportunity to respond to that steaming pile.

He doesn't believe it's his job to inform his viewers what the truth is, much less to tell a Republican to their face that they are lying.

I know because I've heard too many of them, especially the men, say in one way or another that "they'll get all the women!" W/O going into unnecessary details of the complaint, I can also assure you that they try to keep the women they have now in 'protective terror' by constant lies about what will happen to them when the Others come ("Ladies, save the last bullet for yourselves.&quot . Then the women grow even more terrified until they're screeching the same nonsense as the men, who fancy they now have less to worry about losing their women to, uh .... possibly more endowed rivals.
