Remember, its the left’s fault we keep coming up with teabag jokes.
Just two more, fellow liberals, and we get a free sub!
On election night, Lafayette Park was a mad crush of people. Yesterday? Not so much.
Remember, the protests were a bipartisan affair.
They said the protest was about taxes… and yet immigration:
They really don’t like Pelosi (but remember, they’re nonpartisan):
Remember, these folks aren’t anti-Obama…
This guy clearly didn’t understand “pithy”. Way too many ideas crammed into a sign.
John McCain? Is that you?
Young America’s Foundation hands out “I Love Capitalism” signs. Grassrootsy!
They compare the president to a terrorist. But they’re not partisan.
The CATO Institute boys and girls protest all dressed up and with custom umbrellas. Yes, that sign says “end the occupation” of the United States. Apparently CATO isn’t familiar with those “election” thingees.
Godwin violators don’t know how to spell “tyranny”.
Ah! A fan of “The Factor”
Who knew the choice was so clear?
Is Gestapo Queen anything like Dancing Queen?
Remember, they’re non-partisan. It isn’t about Obama…
Ana Marie Cox got really wet.
This just doesn’t make any sense.
The Fairness Doctrine conspiracy theorists were out.
Well? Is he???
This woman was really pretty. Sadly she was screaming that health care was a privilege, not a right. I’m guessing she’ll have a show on Fox News soon.
And then it was all over after one of the geniuses threw something over the White House fence and made the cops shut things down.
Fox News viewers. So classy.
Since the tea baggers don’t love America anymore does that mean they’re moving out?
All of these “tea-parties”, did any of them have any blacks or hispanics. From all the photos I’ve seen so far that doesn’t appear to be the case. And it would be hardly surprising. All this indignation has one simple source which all these bigots are afraid to admit – a black man in the white house.
The guy with the Tea Bag sign has facial hair. He’s totally an ACORN agitator.
BTW: D-Bag??
Did the pregnant lady standing behind Ms. Cox give birth at the rally or did she make it to the hospital?
A dude? No way…
dv
I believe that Instapundit has the only known picture of a black man purported to be at a tea party. I say purported because for whatever reason the picture is a close up so you can’t see if he is really at the rally or just walking by looking like WTF?
Also I don’t think its a coincidence that the Tea Parties had the same amount of racial diversity as last year’s Republican National Convention.
Great pics O Dub
Reasonphobics on the march

Damn, why didn’t Fox offer me a free bus ride and a hotel up to DC for the Tea Party? I could’ve seen that dude with the ‘Kick Me, I’m a Liberal Blogger’ t-shirt.
“On election night, Lafayette Park was a mad crush of people. Yesterday? Not so much.”
Thank you Captain Context. DC, the most liberal city in America (yes, more than SF, look it up) literally voted for Obama by a 90% margin. Oh, and it wasn’t raining. Of the middle of a work day.
But other than that, great comparison.
“All of these “tea-parties”, did any of them have any blacks or hispanics”
Because the legitimacy of a political movement is related to its ethnic makeup?
Ah yes, the left’s tears of anger and bitterness are delicious. Bwaaahahahaha! You can’t “Daily Show” us into silence anymore, and it’s driving you nuts. The tax day tea party was a smashing success……..and there are more to come.
“Since the tea baggers don’t love America anymore does that mean they’re moving out?”
No, we protest because we love America and are scared by the trillions of debt Obama is piling on in only a few short months.

In any case you’re projecting. Leaving the country for Canada is something the left does when their guy doesn’t prevail in an election.
But you guys said nothing when Bush II took a budget surplus and turned it into the largest deficit in history.
The difference is that Bush II squandered the money on a failed occupation of Iraq and tax-cuts for George Soros. The stimulus package is aimed at creating jobs in a climate where unemployment is skyrocketing.
This is why nobody is taking you guys seriously, other than yourselves. Deficits are OK when a Republican is in charge, but only then.
Because the legitimacy of a political movement is related to its ethnic makeup?
No. Just wondering. We’ll put you down for a “no.”

Pining for Bill Clinton, are you?
So when is the next tea party? Wonkette is going to run out of hilarious pictures soon. I need more pictures of bitters waving their misspelled, poorly punctuated signs. More! The bitter tears of ignorant teabaggers in their colonial Williamsburg costumes are delicious to me. So please, have one of these every week. Have a John Birch rally on the national mall. Remind everyone on a weekly basis that you don’t know the difference between a mean and a median. Keep it up, you peasants!
Maybe next time you’ll remember to get permits.
And can you choose a different sex act to name yourselves after next time? “Teabagging” has worn a little thin. I’m sure Dan Savage would be more than willing to help you out. I hear former senator Santorum is looking for work.
About the last picture, funny that someone touting their work ethic has time to protest in the middle of the day on a weekday.
All this indignation has one simple source which all these bigots are afraid to admit – a black man in the white house.
Ding ding ding!
Wish they’d just man up and say it.
Because the legitimacy of a political movement is related to its ethnic makeup?
No, but it’s credibility is.
You can’t “Daily Show” us into silence anymore, and it’s driving you nuts.
Seriously, dude. We’re not trying to. Go for it.
yo mama: “Ah yes, the left’s tears of anger and bitterness are delicious. Bwaaahahahaha! You can’t ‘Daily Show’ us into silence anymore, and it’s driving you nuts. The tax day tea party was a smashing success……..and there are more to come.”
Back in 2003 there were anti-war protests across the United States. In New York City alone there were 500,000 people protesting.
In total, in total across the entire country, there were an estimated 300,000 people in the Teabagging parties. And the biggest took place in Atlanta, which was only 15,000 people.
I’m not impressed.
And taking a look at the ‘off air’ clips I’ve seen, neither were a lot of the cheerleaders from Fox News.
HOW DARE THESE AMERICA-HATING “TEA-BAG PARTY” PEOPLE GO AGAINST OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM!?? DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT GOD’S AMERICA IS A COUNTRY AT WAR!?? THEY SHOULD ALL BE HANGED FOR TREASON! TREASON, I SAY!!
jk! lol lol. omigod, you guys remember hearing that when we protested our tax dollars being spent on murdering people and installing puppet governments for nearly 8 years? totally.
You can’t “Daily Show” us into silence anymore, and it’s driving you nuts.
I don’t think enough people here grasp the significance of yomama’s otherwise idiotic remark, and felt it was worth pointing out…
“Daily Show” you into silence? What does that mean? Jon Stewart is coming to wingnut homes to put them in gulags?
No. In the wingnut mind, the mere existence of a popular, successful message which points out their lunacy and gets traction with the public == OPPRESSION!! The mighty manly right-winger is “silenced” in his terror of being relentlessly mocked! Apparently all Al Qadea needs to do to destroy the testosterone-brimming culture warrior is mock him a second time!
As always the right is guilty of what it casually accuses the left of… When Rush and Hannity whine about the fairness doctrine what they’re really saying is how terrible it is that anyone should be allowed to speak in public with views in opposition to their own, and even worse, have attention paid! Remember Rush’s comment about the only liberals that should be allowed to exist ought to be a few harmless ivory tower professors here and there so that the nation can “remember what they were like”. Why Limbaugh doesn’t just use the traditional method for reminding the commonweal about traitors, just stick their heads on pikes in the public square for all to see, is a bit of a mystery.
But this is the common mode of the wingnut fundamentalist for the last millennium or more. “You won’t allow me to burn that heretic? You’re oppressing me!!!” I am amazed that no dittohead drone has tried to put a bullet in Stewart’s head yet, I really am. More than a few wingnuts recognize that by being funny and popular (especially among the kids) Stewart is probably the single biggest threat to the thousand year Republican Reich.
It’s not terribly complex, Rheinhard. It’s just another case of people misconstruing “Freedom of Speech” to mean “Freedom to say whatever I want without fear of people calling me an ignorant jackass and making fun of me on the internet and basic cable.”
Ah yes, the left’s tears of anger and bitterness are delicious. Bwaaahahahaha! You can’t “Daily Show” us into silence anymore, and it’s driving you nuts. The tax day tea party was a smashing success……..and there are more to come.
Further proof of what the ultra-cons are truly after: pissing off liberals.

Ah yes, the right’s cries of preemptive victory are deliciously ironic. Bwaaahahahaha! You can’t “fake Secret Service” us out of supposedly public events anymore, and it’s driving you nuts. Democrats aren’t herding you into protest zones, they’re just pointing and laughing, And that’s driving you (even more) nuts too! The tea bagging parody parties continue to be a smashing success… and there are more to come.
You lost (by the largest mandate in forty years). Get over it!
“Fight Federal Fascism”
Kid. I’d be happy if you could DEFINE Federal Fascism.
Homeboy, the last thing in this world you need is a free sub.

Time goes by so fast. Is it bi-annual fat joke already?
“Pining for Bill Clinton, are you?”
No, but I would gladly take the freshman class of the 1995 Congress.
“But you guys said nothing when Bush II took a budget surplus and turned it into the largest deficit in history.”
You guys? I hated Bush’s spending spree, particularly on Medicare expansion, education, farm subsidies, a pork laden transportation bill and energy. But I also knew that the Dems were thoroughly unserious when they whined about the deficit, with the last few months proving me right. You guys are managing to outspend the profligate Bush, congrats.
“The difference is that Bush II squandered the money on a failed occupation of Iraq and tax-cuts for George Soros.”
You are leaving out a recession in 2001 and an attack on NYC and VA that killed 3,000 Americans and led to an invasion of Afghanistan. I am surprised you missed these events, it was in all the newspapers.
“The stimulus package is aimed at creating jobs in a climate where unemployment is skyrocketing.”
You are confusing stated goals with outcomes. The government simply sucks money out of the economy and then pumps it back in. It creates nothing.
Remember how Bill Clinton spent us into prosperity during the 1990s to get us out of recession? Yeah, me neither.
“This is why nobody is taking you guys seriously, other than yourselves. Deficits are OK when a Republican is in charge, but only then.”
This is your most accurate comment. Republicans ought to be ashamed at the way they ran Washington under Bush. But the really sad part is how you guys are managing to make them look like true stewards of the public treasury.
Silly me, I thought that when Obama promised “change” and a “net spending cut” that he would reverse Bush’s spending habits. Instead he has chosen to double down.
Double down? It’s the Bush Recession, not the Obama Recession. The point is to make banks and individual Americans solvent again and to create jobs (directly through government projects, and indirectly through spending meant to get banks making loans and businesses taking them out).
Sorry, but don’t lecture me about history. What this is, in fact, is yet another Republican fuck-up that a Democrat needs to clean up (cf. 1932, 1992, and now 2009).
You are confusing stated goals with outcomes. The government simply sucks money out of the economy and then pumps it back in. It creates nothing.
They’re called public goods. The idea is that the government has to provide for various goods, as private industries have no stake in them, as they are non-excludable. This is econ 101 stuff, but I suppose people who think that the government should work for free don’t like to think about that kind of stuff.
Remember how Bill Clinton spent us into prosperity during the 1990s to get us out of recession? Yeah, me neither.
Considering that you were born yesterday, I imagine you wouldn’t.
lol, the Cato sign obviously was a reference to the occupation of NATIVE AMERICAN lands. You dummy.
Any, btw, if you are correct and sign was a reference to federal government occupation of America, what the hell do elections have to do with that?
[...] look, I was there. There were not 1,500 people there. I would estimate that the crowd topped out at 800, but [...]
