....crazy teabagger:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is warning voters that
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's policies, particularly his efforts to
boost bike riding, are "converting Denver into a United Nations community."

"This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed," Maes
told about 50 supporters who showed up at a campaign rally last week in
Centennial.

Maes said in a later interview that he once thought the mayor's
efforts to promote cycling and other environmental initiatives were
harmless and well-meaning. Now he realizes "that's exactly the attitude
they want you to have."

"This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could
threaten our personal freedoms," Maes said.

He added: "These aren't just warm, fuzzy ideas from the mayor.
These are very specific strategies that are dictated to us by this
United Nations program that mayors have signed on to."

Maes may be a new name for you. He's a Sharron Angle-style teabagger
running for governor. He had staked out the fringes, ignored, until
establishment choice and former Rep. Scott McInnis imploded thanks to a
plagiarism scandal. Suddenly, this kook is leading in the polls and has
a pretty good chance of getting the GOP nod.

SUSA gives Hickenlooper a 22-point lead over Maes, while even Rasmussen
can't spin this one away, giving the Denver mayor a 15-point lead over
the Republican (McInnis doesn't fare any better). What was originally a
top GOP pickup opportunity is now looking like an increasingly safe hold
for Democrats.

But beyond the horserace aspect, Maes gives us yet another window into
the psyche of the teabagger, one in which being environmentally
responsible is suspect, in which the United Nations is code word for
communist. It's a world in which "liberty" apparently means dealing with
congestion-choked streets, noxious air quality, and unhealthy living.

We know this crowd hates brown people, non-Christians, single women,
Hollywood, San Francisco, Massachusetts, gays, immigrants, New York,
Chicago, anyone born in Hawaii, Muslims, urbanites, liberals,
environmentalists, anyone who wears birkenstocks or drinks lattes, and
any country outside of the United States.


Lifted from a Kos blogger.

Yes, the teabagging moron actually said those words about bicycling.

Teabaggers.

A group that prides itself on the virtues of pettiness and ignorance.

These folks are really something. Next they'll accuse cyclists of
being too French and foreign.

A gift to the Democrats, ensuring they stay in power on an off year.
