Yep, you heard that right — the teabaggers are trying to organize a “National Day of Strike” for January 20, the first anniversary of Obama’s inauguration:
The goal of the strike, according to the website where it’s being planned, is to “financially cripple” the companies across America the group says are “backing the leftist agenda” and “funding socialism.”
How can you tell which companies are funding socialism? The answer, according to organizers: they advertise on CNN and/or MSNBC, and they donate money to Democratic candidates.
Cool! But apparently this just got announced on the 20th or so and is being led by a Christian Coalition organizer who is still looking for regional organizers and staff to pull this off. And it looks like they have some Facebook followers but nor much movement. Apparently they will be looking for their followers to call these businesses to harrass them that day and if they do not succumb to said harassment, they’ll boycott them.
Anyone see the problem here? Teabaggers taking a play out of the socialist and union playbooks to complain about socialism is awfully rich, even for these people. Probably work about as well as their Die In a week or so back.
