Countdown — Three Days Until the World’s Biggest Teabagging
Can you feel the excitement, the anticipation, the sheer thrill of telling the Administration to take back their damn tax cuts?
Yeah, me neither. More wingnut teabagging news:
- Jed Lewison invokes his special magic to let us know exactly what is at stake (again, NSFW,people):
- The Tea-Tantrum Movement — which is what Andrew Sullivan calls these shenanigans:
…What it looks like to me is some kind of amorphous, generalized rage on the part of those who were used to running the country and now don’t feel part of the culture at all. But the only word for that is: tantrum.
These are not tea-parties. They are tea-tantrums. And the adolescent, unserious hysteria is a function not of a movement regrouping and refinding itself. It’s a function of a movement’s intellectual collapse and a party’s fast-accelerating nervous breakdown.
- And what is a wingnut event without its astroturfing? Yes, they think that astroturf = grassroots, but you aren’t meant to pay attention to that:
Despite these attempts to make the “movement” appear organic, the principle organizers of the local events are actually the lobbyist-run think tanks Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works. The two groups are heavily staffed and well funded, and are providing all the logistical and public relations work necessary for planning coast-to-coast protests…

Why don’t they just call this what it is: An anti-Obama rally. There is no other purpose. And it’s typical that these tea tantrums are organized from above. What else would you expect from a group of people who can only function after receiving orders.
Look I don’t believe that this tea bagging is a right or left plot. The Folks who deserve credit for this brilliant Idea are the ads people at Lipton and Tetley tea companies
World’s biggest tea bagging? I don’t think so.
worlds biggest iced tea party!!!! heavy rain in the forecast for DC on the day they show us their tinny little tea bags
The Delaware tea party facebook page only has 100 members, and that’s counting all the parties: Wilmington, Georgetown, Dover…(there were at least 6 locations).
lets crash em!
It’s nice to see that the libs hate the 1st Amendment as much as they hate the 2nd.
i love the first amendment. it allows me to call out morons who dont know right wing propaganda lies when they see em
NO MORE TAX CUTS! NO MORE TAX CUTS! why dont you all just man-up and call it what it is …. Anti Obama rallies.
Socialism sucks. What more needs to be said?
Socialism sucks, so we are going to throw teabags in the river. Perhaps the right needs dictionary parties instead.
And if it is socialism that they are protesting, you’d think they’d haul their butts off to Venezuela or Libya where the real thing exists to abuse their orange pekoe.
“Socialism sucks.” Another example of the intellectual rigor we have come to associate with conservative “thought.”
