Donald Sterling Clipper NBA Team Owner Makes Racist Comment

The New York Times said lack of photo ID only affects 1% of voters but you keep using that as an excuse why the Dems can't win back the house. Democrat voters are too stupid to get photo id.

Dear Lady Jazzer,
you use the term "tea bagger" in the majority of your posts. In order to get an understanding of your comments i went to Wikipedia and found the following; :“Teabagger”(epithet) in reference to participants in the US Tea Party movement
To tea bag is a slang term for the sexual act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth of a willing sexual partner for pleasure or onto the face or head of another person. The name of the practice, when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion, is derived from its passing resemblance to the dipping of a tea bag into a cup of hot water as a method of brewing tea. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay."
Is this what you are referencing in your comments or do you have an alternative definition?

No, I keep using that as an empirical example of teabagger/ALEC strategy to exclude as many minorities from voting as possible.

It's not a debate...It is admitted truth from the TeaPublican side. It's not just "Photo-ID"...But you knew that.

Dear Cecillena:

You take it any way you like. The teabaggers defined the term for themselves...I'm merely using the term they themselves created. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. You can't imagine how much I don't care that the term created by the teabaggers is now an embarrassment.

3. teabagger 356 up, 118 down
A person who believes that wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on war and tax cuts is okay and that criticizing the president automatically makes you an anti-American traitor, but only if the president is a white Republican. If the president is a black Democrat, it's suddenly okay to brandish assault weapons at his rallies, call him a communist socialist Marxist racist Nazi terrorist nigge...whoops, Muslim. Teabaggers are typically obese inbred southern WASPs who are still upset that they lost the Civil War. Most of them can't spell worth a damn and think "nuclear" is pronounced "nookyular". Despite what they say, 99% of teabaggers are white and Republican.


The evolution of the word 'tea bagger'
Tea Party activists are outraged by the revelation that Obama once used the term "tea baggers" to describe them. But the coinage wasn't always considered an insult...

The grassroots movement didn't always consider "tea bagger" a slur: Early Tea Partiers innocently embraced the term until they discovered its vulgar connotations (see also the 1998 John Waters movie Pecker). In a twist, some conservatives have recently advocated that the word be reclaimed. Here's a look at the evolution of the insult:

Feb. 27, 2009
At the first anti-stimulus "New American Tea Party" rally in Washington D.C., a protestor carries a sign reading "Tea Bag the Liberal Dems before they Tea Bag You!!" The Washington Independent's David Weigel calls it "the best sign I saw."

March 2
Americans for Prosperity, an anti-tax group, is one of the first Tea Party organizations to advocate sending tea bags to elected officials to protest the stimulus package. Several other lobby groups follow suit.

April 1
Several Tea Party protest sites encourage readers to "Tea bag the fools in DC." Jay Nordlinger at National Review Online later admits: "Conservatives started [using the term]... but others ran and ran with it."

September 10
Badges with the message "Proud to be a Tea Bagger" are still on sale at Tea Party events, according to an article written later in the year.

November 10
A report in The New York Times claims the President called Tea Partiers "the teabag, anti-government people" prompting the blog Redstate to respond: "Sexual innuendo is inappropriate in political discourse. The Left and their media tools need a soap bar sandwich to clean up their act."

December 7
In an article for National Review Online , Jay Nordlinger notes that the word is being used so regularly, it is beginning to lose its pejorative association. "'Tory' and 'Whig' were put-downs when they originated," he notes, and "'Yankee Doodle' was none too nice." However, he suggests conservatives should continue to oppose the "lowdown term."

April 14, 2010
Prominent conservative Andrew Breitbart posts a video on the site Big Government in an attempt to reclaim the term. "I'm Proud to be a Tea Bagger" currently has over 90,000 views.

What’s in a word? Teabaggers were FOR “teabagger” before they were AGAINST it

Rightie 1: “I’m getting sick of these teabagger posts. She writes them all the time.”

Rightie 2: “Yeah, well, she’s a libtard.”

Rightie 1: “Libtard, that’s my personal favorite. When are these libtards going to quit calling us names?”

It’s not too surprising that teabaggers consider “teabagger” a slur on the order of the N-word, but think “libtard” is simply a descriptive term commonly used in the English language, like “pretty” or “delightful.” But, as pointed out by Crooks and Liars, “The origin of the term is relevant in determining the relative size of the Tea Party’s violin. What wasn’t pointed out to Tapper is the fact that the Tea Partiers not only invented the term, they did so in order to inflict a similar double entendre onto the President, the Democrats, and liberals in general. Hence, it’s a violin so small, you need an electron microscope with a zoom lens to see it.”

Try to stay with me on this, ‘baggers: You whine about being called teabaggers, and yet you invented the term. As the conservative publication, National Review, pointed out, “The first big day for this movement was Tax Day, April 15. And organizers had a gimmick. They asked people to send a tea bag to the Oval Office. One of the exhortations was ‘Tea Bag the Fools in D.C.’ A protester was spotted with a sign saying, ‘Tea Bag the Liberal Dems Before They Tea Bag You.’ So, conservatives started it: started with this terminology.”

Yeah, you did. And you knew what it meant at the time that you did it – except, at that time, you meant it to apply to liberals and Dems and anyone left of your hard, hard right positions. Imagine your shock and embarrassment when this term you gleefully coined was turned on you. Watch me play the world’s smallest violin.

Andy Cobb - Teabag Party

Teabagger on parade...

[youtube:veyzufbj][/youtube:veyzufbj]

Oh, and the TRUE story of the FIRST "Boston Tea Party"... (It was a sweetheart tax-break to the biggest corporation, The East India Company, by King George, known as "The Tea Act of 1773", to set up a monopoly.) Isn't it amazing that the teabaggers don't even understand the history behind their own failed movement...

[youtube:veyzufbj][/youtube:veyzufbj]

So, now, if we're finished beating "voter ID" to death in a deflection from the Racism of Sterling (R).....I'll repeat:

In a statement provided to The Huffington Post Monday, Carmax, a used car chain, confirmed it would cut ties with the team, ending a nine-year partnership. Virgin America confirmed to HuffPost that it would end its sponsorship with the Clippers, noting that the company continues to "support the fans and the players." A Mercedes-Benz spokeswoman wrote in an email to HuffPost that the company "has moved to cease its sponsorship of the Clippers effective immediately." Chumash Casino Resort told Businessweek it was "withdrawing [its] sponsorship" of the team.

Corona, insurance giant State Farm, carmaker Kia, AQUAhydrate, a company that sells enhanced water, energy drink company Red Bull, Sprint and Lumber Liquidators, a hardwood flooring company, are all reportedly suspending their sponsorships with the team. LoanMart, an auto title loan company, also wrote on its Facebook page that it's suspending its advertising and marketing relationship with the Clippers and monitoring the situation. In addition, Yokohama Tire Corporation is suspending its sponsorship, company announced in a statement.

"CarMax finds the statements attributed to the Clippers' owner completely unacceptable. These views directly conflict with CarMax's culture of respect for all individuals," a CarMax spokeswoman wrote in an email to HuffPost. "While we have been a proud Clippers sponsor for 9 years and support the team, fans and community, these statements necessitate that CarMax end its sponsorship."

CarMax's decision just hours after Steve Stoute, the CEO of marketing firm Translation, which represents State Farm, told ESPN radio that the insurance giant will be pulling its sponsorship as well.

"What I'm going to do and what I think is important from my side is I'm telling the brands immediately 'let's pull sponsorship' starting with State Farm," Stoute said. "When you have things like this taking place, somebody has to stand up."

Gee, since this guy is an "R" too, I guess it just reinforces the stereotype...

And I guess there is a price to pay for the racism... Have fun, Sterling...

It isn't verified as Sterling on the tapes, yet. But be that as it may, if he indeed made the statements, looks like he will pay the price. Looks as if the moral of this story is, if you are in a business, even if you are in private with someone, either keep your mouth shut or say something nice.

Verify the tape? Brian Williams and some fun with digital video...

Of course no one would stoop so low as to manufacture this kind of evidence... I'm going with the Magic Johnson theory.

Bad owners seem to be increasing, one of the Monforts busted driving drunk, Dan Snyder holding onto the racist name Redskins, the Colts owner caught driving drugged. Time for corporations to start owning pro sports teams instead of a very public figure?

The NAACP award appears to have been essentially bought. Sterling gave big checks and lots of Clipper tickets to the NAACP instead of actually helping race issues in the country.

I can't believe the NAACP would sell out their principles. Let me show you my shocked face. :Speechless2:

The NBA is having a press conference today about Sterling. I wonder what the punishment will be. Maybe he will have to transfer the team to his wife, or maybe just an indefinite suspension until this goes away.
