"In 2009, President Barack Obama reportedly called members of the Tea Party "teabaggers." It turns out that our...president,...may have been the first "teabagger" himself, as seen in the 1997 photograph... that really is Barack Obama wearing a regimental coat and carrying a tricorn hat in his hand. And that flag behind him really is a Gadsden flag, with its serpent and its "Don't Tread On Me" slogan."
Oh, my! Here's what the NAACP had to say about the abomination of the Tea Party and their costumes: (Scary Stuff!)
"The Revolutionary War-era costumes, the yellow “Don’t tread on me” Gadsden flags from the same era, the earnest recitals of the pledge of allegiance, the over-stated veneration of the Constitution, and the defense of “American exceptionalism” in a world turned towards transnational economies and global institutions: all are signs of the over-arching nationalism that helps define the Tea Party movement."
"So, by the NAACP's logic, it would appear that...Obama is an over-arching nationalist, and perhaps a racist, antisemitic nativist..."
"That, or the left has been engaged in three years of juvenile character assassination to protect a guy who never got the memo about the worrisome deeper meaning of regimental coats and tricorner hats."
He did do some ranting about it being "unpatriotic" to raise the debt ceiling, didn't he? I vaguely remember him trying to present himself as fiscally responsible way back then.
