Teabaggers getting good and ready ... Time to whip out your...cameras.
Edited on Mon Apr-13-09 01:51 PM by jefferson_dem
Huff Post is encouraging citizen journalists to show up at the teabagging parties and help document the action. Speaking of teabagging, I'll offer up this one image below without (much) comment. Check out the poster that the fella with the flag shirt is holding. He's looking for some stimulation.

1. anxiously awaiting the appearance of
Mr. 'Get a brain, morans!" Guy



BTW...hypothectically of course, were I a 'moran'....just how would I go about getting a brain?

Mr. Moran...Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.

2. Tea-bagging just doesn't seem to have a clear message.
I think they should get back to the original message of 1773:

"Fifteen hundred Thousands, it is said, perished by Famine in one Year, not because the Earth denied its Fruits; but this Company and their Servants engulfed all the Necessaries of Life, and set them at so high a Rate that the poor could not purchase them.”

Ok, too long for today's sound bites.

3. "Without Representation??" Conservatives are fucking idiots!
I've asked many fake patriots to tell me which citizens were denied the right to vote (representation) in 2008. Zip. Zero. Nada.

4. Taxation without representation?
That guy in the photo is not the first I've seen complaining about "taxation without representation." Doesn't his district in San Diego have a congressperson? Of course it does. The only Americans who are taxed without representation are residents of Washington D.C.

5. No. I was referring to the guy holding the poster that says "STIMULATE THIS"...
with "THIS" branded on the buttox of some bent-over cartoonish character. I thought it curiously fitting given the whole "teabagger" theme. :)

6. LOL....that was a "buttox?"
I thought he might have grasped the acutal concept for a minute there.
