Great Moments in Teabaggery

This is jaw-droppingly creepy and awful. Even for teabaggers.

"Our small tea bag group here in Waycross, we got our vigil together and took Dr. Coburn's instructions and prayed real hard that Sen. Byrd would either die or couldn't show up at the vote the other night," the caller said.

"How hard did you pray because I see one of our members was missing this morning. Did it backfire on us? One of our members died? How hard did you pray senator? Did you pray hard enough?" he continued, his voice breaking.

Glad to see Senator Barrasshole let it go on by without a word.

Woaaaa, that was really creepy. Was that a prank? I think it was a really good one, academy award winning performance.

I saw this clip this morning and though it was disgraceful. That asshole didn't say a word. Now, there's a campaign ad for the Dems! That guy sounded every bit the toothless banjo player from Waycross!

While I'm not ashamed to say that I've wished death to Joe Lieberman and all Republicans here on this blog and a few others a few times out of sheer anger and frustration, I certainly would never call into CSPAN or any other show and actually say those kinds of things. While there no excuse for me doing this, I can admit that it's just a temper tantrum but, this guy was so calm, and serious about this that it was chilling.

So that was a total prank. First of all, the use of "tea bag" is really more of our thing now and that fake crying at the end about "one of ours dying" was lame.

That being said, what an a-hole to not even blink or show offense to that call or even address the craziness. Asshole.

The fringiest religious right wackos call this "imprecatory prayer." I've encountered it before with the "Reverend" Klingenschmitt and Pastor Steve Anderson, whose flock turned up at that Phoenix town hall armed to the teeth (that guy with the AR-15 was a member of his flock).

The things that unites these groups are that they (1) hate Obama (2) meet in strip-mall churches.

Whether it was a prank call or not, Barrasso's silence on the praying Senator Byrd to die line kinda blows the alarm clock excuse out the window.

That being said, I don't think it was a prank.

Too bad they're aren't death panels for stupid people. We could wipe out their entire party and make stupid obsolete. Speaking of Teabaggers that idiot Pain tweeted this today about Griffith switching to the Republican party:

Whoops! My browser went crazy

Palin Welcomes Griffith To GOP: 'Congratulations Alabama!'

How long before she has to walk that back since the teabagger have vowed to primary him? She really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Apparently Griffith is not "pure" enough for the tea-baggers.

I guess he should dye his hair blonde and obtain blue contacts.

That's fucking shameful!

I actually see and hear this kind of shit nearly every time I go out, whether it's to the grocery store, the pharmacy, or the barber shop.

And 90% of the time it's seniors who are living as well as they are only due to the most liberal socialist program in American history!

Fucking. Douche. Nozzles.

"God, please kill a sitting Senator, so the minority party can ensure hundreds of thousands of other Americans die needlessly. Amen."

Perhaps if such prayer "backfires" on you, that's Baby Jesus's way of, um, telling you something?

I hope I won't be "flamed" by my comrade atheist Cesca-ites for this, but the amusing part is that all of these fools - from Pat "Illegitimati Robertson trying to steer hurricanes to Oral Roberts trying to divine money out of people's pockets - believe they can make the God they say they believe in do what they want Her to!

They really should study much more than what they can read in one Metamucil-induced session in the shitter:

"Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
10 May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:9-10

"God is our judge, and he can save or destroy us. What right do you have to condemn anyone?
Further, you should know better than to say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to the city. We will do business there for a year and make a lot of money!" What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears. You should say, 'If the Lord lets us live, we will do these things.'" James 4:12b-15

In light of those passages, Leonard Ravenhill, one of the guys these cafeteria Xtians oft like to cite, put it pretty well: "Prayer is not an argument with God to persuade Him to move things our way, but an exercise by which we are enabled by the Holy Spirit to move ourselves His way."
