Smearing the Tea Party and Conservatives
"I also think, you know, just calling it, that some of this tea party anger is racist." -NPR's Cokie Roberts
Leftists taunt right-wingers as "tea baggers." The implication is that the target of their slur is either a woman or a gay man being orally penetrated by a man, and is, therefore, inferior, and despicable. -Danusha V. Goska, Ten Reasons Why I Am No Longer a Leftist 
Whereas the Right regards the Left as wrong — even destructively wrong — the Left regards all those on the right as evil: “Sexist,” “intolerant,” “xenophobic,” “homophobic,” “Islamophobic,” “racist,” “bigoted” are typical descriptions of the Right made by the most respected names on the left.
President Barack Obama called these very groups “enemies of democracy,” and Vice President Joseph Biden has called them “terrorists.” Obama Administration spokesmen have referred to them as “jihadists,” “hostage takers,” persons “with bombs strapped to their chests, etc. Indeed a Rasmussen poll shows that 26% of the Obama Administration’s supporters – possibly not the least influential among them – regard the Tea Parties as the top terrorist threat to America. -Angelo M. Codevilla

“I also think, you know, just calling it, that some of this tea party anger is racist,” she said, “and that having a non-black person on the ticket will diffuse it to some degree.” -Cokie Roberts
Jesse Jackson has no doubt that on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, Republican opposition to President Obama’s policies is motivated by racial animus reminiscent of the Civil War-era South. “The tea party is the resurrection of the Confederacy, it’s the Fort Sumter tea party,” Jackson told Politico’s Glenn Thrush.

So what do Tea Partiers have in common? They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do.

No - but Democrat Robert Byrd was a KKK Exalted Cyclops
Robert Byrd, the longest-serving senator in U.S. history, died Monday at 92. While he was most famous as a master of the Senate's obscure rules, Byrd wore many hats during his lifetime, including that of Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan.

"At this point, the Tea Party is no more popular than the Klan," Grayson said. The email then takes that comparison one step further by including a photograph of a burning cross with Klansmen in the background.

"Well, the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it," Dingell told MSNBC.

Conservatives:
Bottom Rung Of Society, Dangerous And Deranged
It’s time we acknowledge that conservatism isn’t just some political view. It means you’re the very bottom rung of society, dangerous and deranged. Some conservatives are trying to become better people. Great. But people who flaunt their conservatism are psychotic.

The US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health Abstract Extreme resistance to governmental taxation and authority is derived, according to Freud's theory of anal characterology, from premature and harshly coercive toilet training, in which a child is forced unfairly and against its will to surrender the products of his eliminations (which represent money, among other things, in the unconscious) to parental authority. Among these individuals anal eroticism plays a significant role in the psychogenesis of paranoia and conspiracy theorizing, which may represent a defense mechanism erected against repressed fears of passive submission.

Yup, and the fact that they chose to call themselves “teabaggers,” which is slang for a certain act involving balls. It sort of says a lot. I would say a mouthful.

One of the more amusing aspects of life as a conservative Christian is reading liberals writing about conservative Christians - especially writing about conservative Christian political causes. There's a formula.
First, you're told there are "dog whistle" or "hidden" reasons for the use of common terms. Second, these hidden reasons trace back to racists and Christian dominionists. Third, and finally, if you use this common language and advance mainstream conservative Christian ideas, you're actually advancing racism and theocracy.
