Who’s teabagging who @ the capitol? Is it Ritter teabagging Groff or the other way around?
You are so droll. I bet droll is jealous.
These are likely unemployed Bush administration unemployed. Anybody spot Gonzo in the crowd?
may I suggest one?
” Obama’s a fascist because he is ”
That kind of thinking is going to get our economy back on track. I wish we had thought of that.
Like I said this morning:
“rightwing naysayer obstructionist kooks…
have all the answers for sure. Look for the unveiling of some very well thought out and detailed policy proposals today.”
” Barack Obama wasn’t born in the US”
Top shelf
I have doubts which can be placated with about 10 minutes of research, but I refuse to do it, so I remain ignorant. But i’m still suspicious damnit !
how up to 26% of the American population is delusional enough to believe such nonsense.
Fascism defined at dictionary.com (scroll down a bit):
Yep, sure sounds like Obama and the Democrats to me!
Everything described is more results than underlying ideology.
Heaven help us all. You couldn’t carry Ronald Reagan’s jock.
Maybe even sniff it, eh?
RR set us on this path that has put us here today. He was the first “Movement Republican” elected to office and he put the deregulation car into overdrive. He gave us more debt than all previous presidents combined. He started the destruction, while governor, of the nation’s finest university system. He turned coat on his working class origins and knocked up his second wife to be. He grew to love money and power and fuck the folk who still not rich or powerful.
He was a wonderful speaker, I’ll give him that. Got a lot of suckers to go along with him.
PS, it’s his jockSTRAP. Jock is an adjective here.
If the jock is being carried, it is all about what it is being carried in.
Part of the immorality of Ronald Reagan was convincing an entire generation that they could get something for nothing.
The Shrub, with his tax cuts for rich folks and his runaway spending programs simply took Reaganomics to its next step.
They stole it and dumped it anyway because they had testicles.
To quote Joe the Plumber: “I’m getting horny!”
Considering that — unlike most of the rallies organized on the Left — no one was paid to organize it, very impressive turnout.
And everybody at Fox News works pro bono.
and some of the signs folks were carrying were so interesting I copied them down to share:
Many “Don’t Tread On Me” flags and signs – which I find ironic since the original symbolism behind the snake flag had to do with unity and not division.
“Comrade Obama, Up Yours”
“No Taxation without Representation” – again, interesting since apparently this person doesn’t live in a Congressional District (or from D.C. participating in our rally here since D.C.’s rally was a joke).
“This is John Galt Speaking” – side note, no other words on the sign, so not quite sure what Galt was saying and to whom.
“Obama Bin Laden” – always classy, that one.
“Stop Liberal Spending!” – an eight year old was holding this one and when I asked if he knew what liberal spending was he said no. His father didn’t seem very pleased with me.
“Got Duped?” – which, of course, is not only a grammatically incorrect take off on the milk ad, but also ironic in so many ways that a Republican held the sign.
“Socialism is for Losers!” – a bunch of Chinamen might take umbrage with this, but hey, to each their own.
“Capitalism built America, not Government!” – an interesting revisionist historical take on America, but more interesting since the sign holder was chanting with the crowd against bailout money going to the banks (which I thought protected capitalism and our financial sector – but, who am I to argue).
All of the above and more was fine, other peoples’ opinions and all, but what pissed me off, and made me leave the rally with a sardonic grin on my face, was when the crowd kept chanting,
“My country! My country! My country!”
Chanting “Drill baby drill” is one thing, chanting that you have exclusive right to the country just makes people look sheltered, shallow and stupid.
So thanks to all you bible thumping, right wing, anti-tax, non-baby-killing, white, middle/upper class, crap ass parking folk who came down to the capitol today to entertain me during my lunch hour!
I hope you took a Silkwood-shower afterwards!
….I’m going to have that song in my head all night…..and I don’t even like Boy George. But I’m glad you are safe.
I guess their claim that their fringe trash America protest is nonpartisan got blew out of the tea pot.
Although, I really, really wanted to see One Queer Dude out there with a sign illustrating the true meaning of teabag.
That might have presented a little balance…
What are a few more lies when Americans have come to expect lies from Republicans? The Republican brand is so gutter bound that I guess they just figure that a few more lies won’t hurt.
I wish I knew who you were so I could buy you a shot of Wild Turkey to get the taste of hypocrisy out of your mouth.
“Monkey See, Monkey Spend” – with a racist caricature of Obama as a monkey.
Yeah, that pretty much sums up the teabagger mentality.
Here’s a photo of the crowd:
http://canarypapers.files.word…
Oh wait, that was the crowd of 100,000 that was FOR Obama…
It seems like the groundswell of support the Republicans were looking for lacks the actual swell. It was a nice sunny day to be outside, I guess people had other things to do.
5/1/06 – 75,000 plus – May Day march for immigrant rights;
10/26/08 – 100,000 plus – Speech by candidate Barack Obama;
4/15/09 – almost 5,000 – Tea bag party.
4/20 smoke out
Where were all these folks in all their righteousness when GWB and the Republican Congress was running up the DEBT that these clowns now seem so upset about?
Never mind, as is constantly pointed out here, don’t let the facts get in the way of your partisan bull.
Obama inherited the debt he didn’t create it. Moreover, it was the disasterous Bush tax cuts and the completely unneccessary war in Iraq (and the looting of our treasury by Cheney pals through sweetheart deal contracts) that got us here.
Okay, I’ll stop. But Jeez, it pisses me off.
Don’t know about you but I got a tax cut this month.
