There are better ways to tell another group to shut up and let you speak. Stooping to the level of saying what this dude said, does absolutely nothing for your cause and, in fact, damages it. It's one thing to hate taxes, it's one thing to be angry that another unaffiliated group is attempting to silence you, it's just down right stupid to stoop to that level of dialogue.

"I WILL NOT BE SILENCED" works far better than what that douchenozzle said.

/and is far more to the point.

What do fasces have to do with that?

I surprised (beers or one of his bigoted gang haven't come in and started screaming "But the New Black Panther Party!" or some derp like that.

The problem with socialism in America is that these liberal socialists don't know that soshalism will lead to dangerous things like the destruction of religious values and replacing them with gay-loving soshalsm values, and then soshalsm soshalsm soshlsm soshlsm soshlsm soshlsm soshlsm soshlsm soshlsm!!!!!! soshlsm soshlsm soshlsm!!!

SOSHLSM!!!!

Is this normal?

Yes.

Not saying it didn't happen, but with so many counter-protesters recording anything and everything, I am a bit surprised there isn't at least a low grade recording of said insult. I mean really, is the best Huffpo come up with is someone "reportedly" said mean things???

I don't know, lung cancer can sure silence you.

Incidentally, you know had THOSE as a symbol? The Latin name is a hint.

Last time I tried talking to a teabagger they dropped the n-bomb after about 10 minutes. So this doesn't surprise me at all.

nekom: I've got some bad news for you, tea party: Gays aren't going anywhere.

Great, not only are they gay, they're lazy.

Altair: Has anyone pointed out that the cop looks like Mr. Winslow?

nekom: I've got some bad news for you, tea party: Gays aren't going anywhere. You don't have to like it, but kindly stay out of the way. The younger generation absolutely DOES NOT CARE if someone is gay. The winds are not blowing your way.

I wonder how it feels to be on the wrong side of history. All the time.

coco ebert: gilgigamesh: violentsalvation: By calling gay folks "f*ggots" you have ensured that I will not listen to what you have to say. So yes, person by person, one pair of ears at a time, you are silencing yourself.

Seriously, the only people I ever hear refer to "fags" or "faggots" are gay dudes riffing on each other.

I imagine after this guy let loose with his little tirade one gay dude in the audience rolled his eyes and purred to his buddy, "My God, will you get a load of her."

Strange. As a friend of many friends of Dorothy, I've never heard anyone utter that word in jest or to rib one another. It's mos def a slur.

Just because it's a slur doesn't mean people never use it in jest or to rib one another. That's a pretty classic thing that a group does with slurs, attempting to claim the word in the hopes of reducing the sting.
For example. Columnist Dan Savage originally wanted his 'Savage Love' Column to be entitled 'Hey F@ggot,' and that was indeed used as the form of address in it for years.

FlashHarry: nekom: Gays aren't going anywhere.

one might say that they're queer, they're here, and that one should get used to it.

Or that they don't want any more bears.

theorellior: dahmers love zombie: Honestly, I thought the Tea Party was seriously into bundles of burning sticks. Oh, wait...they just like the bundles of sticks that aren't burning.

I've always wondered, what's the point with the fasces anyway? Why would you want to wrap your axe handle in a bundle of dowels? It looks extremely uncomfortable to wield, not to mention heavy, and one good jolt would wrench the axe handle free.

Dumbass symbol for a dumbass movement.

It symbolizes the Roman authorities ability to punish (with a whack of the stick) or execute (with the axe).

EZ1923: EZ1923: This is strange. Not one defense of this guy from the usual suspects. Very strange indeed.

Spoke too soon, apparently.

And Black Animal just about knocked me over with a feather.

Way too early. You had to know they would do it.

Awesome. This blatant display of bigotry just warms the cockles of your heart.

Non-story. Overzealous gourmand.

I agree with you that a group should be able to have a rally without getting shouted down by the opposition. Yeah, protesting in part of free speech, but while I disagree with the Tea Party, they have as much of a right to hold an unmolested rally as pro-gay marriage advocates.

On the other hand, the tea party has anti-gay elements despite all of their rhetoric about taxes.

Traditionally rallies about depriving another group of their rights is a cause for protest. Its a balancing act-- the tea party people can talk about taxes all they want, and then get booed when anti-gay stuff is mentioned.

/a _small pox on you!

Bad fight to pick, TEAbaggers... gays aren't hipsters... they've been fighting their whole life, you've only been fighting (record low) taxes since we got a black president. You think your guns make you intimidating? You don't know shiat about intimidating until you've seen a pissed off drag queen.
