Tea-Baggers claim
to be about expressing freedom and coming together to protect God-given
liberties; except when someone disagrees, then they must be shouted down until
silenced. Matt Walsh, a conservative Georgetown, Delaware radio
host, was speaking to a group of tea-bagger protesters on April 15
when he encouraged the crowd to vote for independents over Republicans.
The
crowd became incredulous, booing and jeering Walsh as he began asking whether
free speech really meant something to the tea parties.
"Seriously,
what everybody needs to understand here is that, number one, Republicans are
not the answer," he'd said. "They are not, period. Do not vote for a
Republican. Please, I beg you, do not vote for a Republican. What has a
Republican done for you? Everyone says, 'Well, at least they're not as bad as
Democrats.' Yes they are! They're all bad!"
He
continued: "Vote for an independent and please, God almighty, do not vote
for Sarah Palin. Please dear God do not vote for Sarah Palin. She has not shown
us anything. I know everyone's very excited about her, she's probably a very
nice woman, but she is not the answer."
That
was it: the tea-baggers began to heckle the right-wing host in earnest.
"You're
a punk!" a man yelled. "I'm a punk? Walsh asked. "Because I'm
talking about Sarah Palin?"
"She's
more of a man than you are!" another bagger shouted.
"Sir,
you need to back off and let me have my time up here, okay?" Walsh fired
back. "You're the problem, sir ... I'm not sure why I can't point out the
fact that Sarah Palin is a Republican and is part of the system. She couldn't
even finish her time as Governor of Alaska! I know that's because she was being
attacked but she's gonna be attacked ten-fold when she runs for office. I'm advocating
that we put real independents in office."
At
that point in the speech, a man placed a sign with the word ‘infiltrator’
scrawled on it," and pointed it directly at Walsh.
"I'm
not an infiltrator!" Walsh countered as the rabble erupted into cheers.
"I guarantee you, I'm more conservative than you are. I guarantee you, I'm
more conservative than everyone in this audience -- tune into my show sometime.
Hold on, wait a second, because I'm insulting Sarah Palin that makes me an
infiltrator? This is not the Sarah Palin movement, is it?"
The
tea-bagger’s jeers grew even louder. "Okay, okay," he said. "So,
this is the
Sarah Palin movement, then."
The
lesson here is that Tea-Baggers can’t handle the truth.
