Annoying political post is annoying. . .

I read a lot of political posts, some more obnoxious than others.  To let my liberal readers know, if you are trying to actually convince someone of something (rather than rage or whine or perform public bonding with their chosen clique of like minded internet denizens) you should not use the term “teabagger.”  As in sub-titling your rant, “teabaggers take note.”  Not only are you insuring that anyone involved in any tea party is going to ignore your rant, however clever you think it is, because no one has enough spare time to go out of their way to be insulted, but you telegraph the fact your politics are juvenile and not particularly well thought out.

If you use “teabagger” in a post, I know the following about you:

• You refer to G.W.Bush as a Fascist and our government as a Democracy, but you become obnoxiously anal and pedantic about definitions of political terms when someone calls Obama a socialist.
• You believe that it was a miscarriage of justice when this black person was fired for allegedly bigoted comments that were taken out of context, but when this black person was fired for allegedly bigoted comments that were taken out of context, he had it coming.
• You believe Anita Hill was a martyr for women’s rights and Paula Jones was opportunistic trailer trash going after someone for partisan political purposes.
• You think George Soros is a benign philanthropist doing his best to support charitably progressive causes, and the brothers Charles and David Koch are shadowy puppet-masters funneling money into American politics to further their own sinister agenda.
• You thought enacting the Patriot Act was a horrible miscarriage of civil rights, all the way up to the point it was made permanent, when it wasn’t worth complaining about anymore.
• You think Janeane Garofalo makes sense when she says that calls for a smaller federal government are a coded message meaning “we hate black people.”
• You think that Media Matters would never slant a story.
• You think Al Franken was funny, once.
• You don’t find it ironic that an allegedly anti-establishment comic is holding a political rally that’s pretty much in support of the satus quo over an insurgent political movement.
• You’ve never watched an episode of Glen Beck or listened to Rush Limbaugh but not only do you know their position on every issue of import, you regularly condemn them for those opinions.
• You never thought speculation about Trig Pailin’s maternity the least bit creepy.
• You believe dumping a trillion dollars of stimulus money into the economy is the only thing that saved us from a great depression, but you believe that taking the same amount back out of the economy by taking it from rich people will have no adverse economic impact.
