“This is indeed the kettle calling the pot black,” Mark Williams, national spokesman of the conservative grassroots group [teabaggers], told CNN.
“We’re fighting the government programs that have emasculated the black family,” Williams said.
He added: “It’s the Obama administration that rolled back civil rights to a pre-civil rights era with ‘Obamacare’ in which they removed the concept of individual rights…it’s the Obama administration that put a tax on white people with a tanning salon tax. I mean, this is the kind of stuff the Tea Party movement is fighting. We are fighting for the Constitution of this country, which, by definition, makes this a human rights movement – a civil rights movement.”
I didn't realize the right to cultivate melanoma was a right anyone would want to fight for. But I guess if you've dedicated yourself to fighting everything Obama does, you really have to fight everything, even if it means taking skin cancer's side in the fight against ... wait, what ?
No no no. The problem is that they haven't linked the tanning bed tax to something people can relate to. Let me think... oh yeah, here we go:
Obama, the freedom-hating demon, wants to force us to look at strippers who haven't been evenly browned to a rich, glistening, shade of Thanksgiving Turkey Brown. The villain. What's next, a tax on fake tits? Just think of what such a thing would do to the cast of The Jersey Shore!
What’s the premise of Jersey Shore again? And is it a reality show or sitcom?
it’s one of those pseudo-reality shows where everyone acts outrageous because they want to become famous.
or at least that’s what i’ve learned from seeing clips of it on The Soup.
