Teabaggers To March Inside The US Capitol?

I can’t imagine anything going wrong with that. What could possibly go awry?

Idiots.

  1. Indeed says:

    And why wouldn’t they go for it, since they’re fresh off of the stunning landslide victory in New York! What? That didn’t happen?

  2. mrak says:

    The security screening for entering the U.S. Capitol is pretty rigorous already.

    If the Capitol Police has any sense at all, they’ll turn it up to eleven for a teabagger visit.

    “A guest of Congresswoman Bachmann? Welcome! Please wait in this line for your body-cavity search.”

  3. Marco says:

    What will the turnout be? 72k? A million? A kajillion billion?

  4. I'm a Hick says:

    Apparently, there was a teabag event that drew 10,000 people in Houston the other day. On the other hand, the conservative Republican mayoral candidate came in fourth in a four person race Tuesday.

  5. Burn says:

    Bachman’s Chief of Staff just resigned…I cannot imagine why.

    • durablend says:

      Maybe that’s why it’s been quiet here this morning–peanut gallery is all running over with their resumes.

      • Dennis says:

        Not to pick on you, durablend, but you guys whine when conservatives post here, and you miss us when we don’t.

        • Indeed says:

          Self-absorbed Troll shares his warm feelings about himself. A lot.

          • durablend says:

            The world and everything on it revolves around Dennis–didn’t you know that?

            Which is why he doesn’t get his own blog–would be too lonely over there.

  6. rat_bastard says:

    I expect a great deal of vandalism and at least one act of minor violence before this is done. I also predict swastikas in great quantities.

  7. Parthenon says:

    I’m trying to imagine the mindset of the fence-sitter that would be swayed to the tea baggers’ point of view by this kind of thing. And how soon they’ll realize that all these histrionics (and purging of legitimate candidates) are the opposite of productive.

  8. jr says:

    Michele Bachmann won’t give up her 174k government salary and her federal employee health benefits

  9. Paul_D says:

    Note to DC Capitol Police;

    Drink lots of coffee.
    Keep your safeties in the off position.

  10. Enlightened Liberal says:

    Capital Hill Police estimates= 200-300, or about 1.5-2 for every Republican Congressperson that showed up.

    • durablend says:

      NONSENSE! Me thinks you left off a half a dozen zeroes from that estimate. 200 or 300 MILLION sounds more like it. Fox News said it, so it MUST be true!

  11. Burn says:

    These numbnuts just don’t get it. Do they think this is the way to bring moderates and indies into their ever shrinking radicalized movement? Newsflash to birthers, your tactics and viewpoints turn off more Americans than attract them. Got it yet?

    For all your screaming and shouting and ‘death panels’ and “Obama is teh Hitlers” and “socialist” rants, you are not helping your cause in any way shape form, no matter how much Fox News or talk radio supports you. Then again, I get the feeling you don’t care anymore. You’ve realized that your base of bitter old white people is ever shrinking, and that this is your last roar in the wild so you might as well go all out.

    You come across as being, I dunno, fucking CRAZY when you try to appeal to the idea that trying to improve health care in the country is akin to a Nazi takeover. Glen Beck cries on TV, and you all taste his tears, oh the humanity!!!

    For rational, sane people, they look at you and say, ewwwwww, I don’t want any part of that.

    Please, just start your own wacko party already. Just up and leave the Republican party altogether, seeing how they aren’t pure enough for you.

    • Dennis says:

      Burn,

      You sound a bit delusional, but sorry, ‘bitter old white men’ wasn’t the demographic that pushed VA to the triple win all by high-teens margins.

      Women went for McDonnell despite the best efforts of the WaPo, Deeds and the nutroots’ wishes of repeating their macaca moment magic by hammering away at McDonnell’s college thesis.

      Everything you guys have been saying about the tea parties turned out to be not true.

      That has to ‘Burn’, I’m sure.

      • Indeed says:

        Right-Wing Talk Radio Troll thinks the Teabaggers are awesome. Shocker.

        (Please, please, please no more Doug Hoffmans! Speaking for Reality-Based people everywhere, I beg of you. NOOOOOO!!!!)

      • Paul_D says:

        Yep, 3 days since the most definitive victory for conservatism ever and Obama is still President, the Senate still has 60 Democrats, and the House gained a Democrat*.

        *with thanks to the Alaskan Quitbull

      • fafaroo says:

        You sound a bit delusional, but sorry, ‘bitter old white men’ wasn’t the demographic that pushed VA to the triple win all by high-teens margins.

        Dennis, could you provide some polling data to back up this claim?

        • Dennis says:

          I could, yes. But so could you.

          • fafaroo says:

            Oh Dennis. It’s so cute when you play coy.

            • Dennis says:

              It was in the Washington Post, fafaroo. You want to show something that refutes what I said, be my guest, but I’m tired of showing you links for your personal inspections just because you want to play f’ing Perry Mason or because you want to look at something else in the article to point to.

              Or tell you what, why don’t you be proactive and show some exit data or election results that shows the 18 pt win by McDonnell was all ‘bitter old white men’ showing up to vote?

              • fafaroo says:

                “… but I’m tired of showing you links for your personal inspections …”

                in other words, “I am so insecure and uncertain of my interpretation of this information and my already fragile ego can’t afford another blow, I refuse to back up my claims with any links you might use to make me feel bad.”

                • Dennis says:

                  No, as I’ve stated before, you’re a psychotic recovering alcoholic who’s transferring his obsessive/compulsive nature on to me, and you want me to dance for you. There are no ‘in other words’.

                  Why do you show hesitancy to produce evidence to the contrary?

                  Why do you lack that confidence to find your own data sources in order to satisfy your curiosity, fafaroo?

                  • fafaroo says:

                    It’s all pretty simple, Dennis:

                    You made an assertion.
                    I asked you to show your work.
                    You got defensive and refused.

                    Put up or STFU, my friend.

                    • Dennis says:

                      And you’re making an intimation that my assertion is suspect, so I’m asking you to show your that might explain why you doubt it.

                      You seem to be unsure of yourself here. Why is that?

                      My suggestion to you is to put up or STFU, my downwardly spiraling friend.

                  • Indeed says:

                    In other words:

                    Nice touch by Capra casting Mr. Potter in a wheelchair in a lame attempt to make him appear even more evil and scary. As if stealing $8,000 and trying to run the only bank competition in the town wasn’t evil enough, he had to make him a cripple, too.

                    “Sorry about the derogatory stereotype, all you handicapped people. ‘Hey it’s just a movie’. And he was a conservative, too, so what’s the big deal?”

                    • Dennis says:

                      Seriously, Aqualung, what is your beef with that post? Do you think it’s a good thing to stereotype handicapped people as villains like it’s a late 1800’s Dickens novel and champion it as an awesomely liberal movie?

                      WTF is wrong with you?

                    • fafaroo says:

                      And you’re making an intimation that my assertion is suspect …

                      Gosh, did I intimate something? I’m awfully sorry if you read it that way.

                      Really, Dennis, there’s no need to get so defensive. I didn’t realize you were so sensitive.

                      Does it hurt your feelings when people ask you to verify your claims?

                      You must be dealing with some pretty serious trust issues on top of your general paranoia and insecurity.

                      Tell you what, it’s pretty clear that you need to step away from the keyboard and take a nap or your pills or something.

                      I’ll tell you what. Here’s your chance to walk away from your claim without having to back it up with a link to your source. I promise, no one will think you’re a total idiot if you don’t respond to this comment. I swear.

                    • Dennis says:

                      fafaroo,

                      I’m perfectly fine with the assertion I made from hard data provided by the Washington Post. Your request for information is nothing more than a disingenuous, obsessive transference and is in no way an honest request for information that you couldn’t obtain on your own very easily.

                      You cast doubt on what I said but you can’t man up enough to refute it.

                      Are you saying what I said is an incorrect assertion, fafaroo?

                    • Indeed says:

                      It’s still funny that Dennis pretends that he didn’t get it horribly wrong about Mr. Potter in IAWL. Really funny. On a number of levels, Dennis is like the blog comment version of Walter Sobchak, just without any of the charm. Or insight.

  12. Cargo says:

    I for one say right on teabaggers, keep it up! Please! I am being 100% totally sincere here. Continue on your present course. I hope you expunge every last slightly moderate Republican and mount third party challenges against whoever doesn’t meet your strict approval. Go for it! The spirit of Ronald Reagan commands you!

  13. Burn says:

    Now they are holding up signs with pictures of concentration camps from WWII.

    These people are fucking shameless disgusting human beings, ruled by fear and ignorance.

    • SaveFarris says:

      According to our new diplomatic parter in Tehran, those pictures never existed.

      “Shameless, disgusting human beings” indeed.

      • Indeed says:

        Worst.
        “Look over there!”
        Ever.

        (Is that a direct challenge to Dennis?)

      • Burn says:

        Gods, that’s SO lame dude. You aren’t even trying anymore.

        Do you not know when to quit? At what point do you draw the line for this kind of behaviour? Really, I’d love to know.

        For the frothing angry right, NO line cannot be crossed to demonstrate their misdirected impotent rage. Anything is fair game, no matter how low, or poor taste it is. You should be ashamed, but I know you aren’t because you think everything is some kind of back and forth game, like whoever gets the sharpest snap wins or something.

        No wonder the GOP is cracking up and dwindling. You think the average American is going to agree with the asshole who hoisted his sign with pictures of dead Jews in a concentration camp, comparing that to the idea of health care reform?

        Fuck you, and fuck your entire failed ideology.

  14. canadian bacon says:

    “Go for it! The spirit of Ronald Reagan commands you!”

    I think Reagan finally has some worth; to destroy the nutty right. He’s finally paying dividends.

  15. Burn says:

    Some sampling of the signs by the tea-birthers:

    “Where’s the Birth Certificate”
    “Abort Obamacare, not Babies”
    “Get the Red Out of the White House.”
    “Waterboard Congress”
    “Traitor to the U.S. Constitution” (Picture of Obama on sign)
    “Ken-Ya Trust Obama?”
    “Un-American McCarthyite” (with picture of Pelosi)
    “I’m the King of the World: Remember the Titanic?” (Drawing of Obama in the mold of the ‘Jovial Sambo’ from the Jim Crow era doing the Leo Titanic pose.”

    Ah, more of the salt of the Earth, good pickin normal every day Amuricans just like Oliver and me. Uh huh. Just concerned citizens, you see?

  16. canadian bacon says:

    Run faster. I hear bangers.

  17. Burn says:

    The Democratic Health care plan today received the endorsement of the AMA and AARP.

    Meanwhile off in the distance were a few thousand impotent losers crowing like unbalanced circus rejects.

    Advantage Dems.

    Waiting for the tea-birthers to inquire why the AMA and the AARP are fascistsocialistcommunistnaziterrorists who hate freedom.

  18. Jaim says:

    They should move to the non-government, pro-2nd Amendment haven of Somalia.

    They’d last less than a minute of course.

  19. fafaroo says:

    Are you saying what I said is an incorrect assertion, fafaroo?

    I just asked you to present your evidence for the claim. That’s it. And you freaked out.

    So, Dennis, I think we all know what this is about. You’re afraid that if you do what I asked, other people will think you’re weak, because you’re a desperately insecure person who puts a lot of weight into what total strangers on the internet think of you.

    You berate people on blogs to feel better about yourself, but you also can’t allow it to look like you’re getting pushed around.

    So you need to turn a simple, harmless request for a link into a full blown pissing match.

    All you have to do is link to the Wapo article. That’s it. And I swear, no one will think your a “pussy.”

    But you won’t. Because you’re still afraid they will.

    • Dennis says:

      Explain why you are interested, first, fafaroo.

      Are you calling bullshit on anything I’ve said?

    • Dennis says:

      Profile of Virginia Voters

      Results of exit polls conducted Tuesday in the race for Virginia governor between R. Creigh Deeds and Robert F. McDonnell.

      • fafaroo says:

        Ha! Dennis, you are so my bitch.

        • Dennis says:

          You’re a certifiable piece of shit, fafaroo.

          And you owe me ten bucks, btw.

          Since you don’t give a shit about them, kindly send the $10 to this charity:

          The Central Texas-Fort Hood Association of the U.S. Army

          Attn.: Community Response to 11/5

          P.O. Box 10700

          Killeen, TX 765478-0700

          On the check, write “Community Response to 11/5″ in the memo line.

          Let us know when you’ve sent it.

          • fafaroo says:

            And you owe me ten bucks, btw.

            Now why exactly do I owe you ten bucks, Dennis? Explain it to me.

            • Dennis says:

              How many $10 wagers have you made here in the last couple weeks, anyway? Or is this another one of your games, too?

              Now have some honor about you and send off that check to help those families.

              • fafaroo says:

                Yes, Dennis. Apparently your ego is terribly fragile you allowed yourself to get punked by a playground bet.

                You see the bet was that you would owe me ten bucks if you “acknowledged and/or replied” to the comment. By telling me I owed you ten bucks you acknowledged the bet and so acknowledged the comment so lost the bet.

                It’s so ridiculously obvious only the most desperately insecure person would fall for it. Tell us, Dennis, we’re you one of those kids you regularly lost his lunch money at recess to the older kids?

                But I’ll tell you what Dennis. Since you need to reclaim a little self-respect and I feel bad for making you look stupid (it’s just too easy) how about if we both give some dough to The Central Texas-Fort Hood Association of the U.S. Army?

                Sound good?

                • Dennis says:

                  Done.

                  And you are a weasel piece of shit, because I didn’t respond to that bet or reply to it; I just told you you owed me ten bucks knowing you’d pull that playground stunt.

                  If you knew what I was talking about and asked me how I owed you ten bucks anyway so you could say I acknowledged it, it just means your a certifiably disingenuous one at that. Even then in answering you, I still didn’t acknowledge it.

    • Wilbur says:

      Yes it was. Turns out that the reason he was so good at playing a pompous brain-dead loser on TV is that he wasn’t acting.

    Barney Frank on Facebook about the teabaggers:

    Regarding the scores of “tea party” people roaming the halls of Congress yesterday…… Before, I thought I was talking to the dining room table. Now I feel like I’m in a furniture warehouse.

  23. Zython says:

    Deeds and the nutroots’ wishes of repeating their macaca moment magic by hammering away at McDonnell’s college thesis.

    True, they should’ve taken a cue from the teabaggers and just made shit up about his thesis.

  24. Indeed says:

    their macaca moment magic

    For fuck’s sake, Allen called the guy a thinly-veiled euphemism for “nigger.” Holy fucking shit, “their macaca moment magic” doesn’t begin to cover it. Nor is it analagous in to the Deeeds campaign.

    Dumbfuck Dittohead Troll grasps for straws. Again.
