The tea-bagging parties will be huge.

[ColbertWatcher]

You know they will. Everyone knows they will be.

This movement has really struck a nerve with real Americans and the size of these events will just go to show all the naysayers how large this group is. It will show the world how many people there are in this country who share the same ideology.

To say otherwise is to deny the validity of their beliefs.

This. Will. Be. Huge.

[gmoney]

1. I was thinking about going and taking pictures of the Morans...

could be some comedy gold there... maybe take my video camera even...

[ColbertWatcher]

5. You're going to need a huge lens to be able to encompass the sheer size of the protests. n/t

[FreakinDJ]

9. Your Freakin Dreaming

[ZombieHorde]

12. Please do. nt

[Bjorn Against]

74. I hear there are some online sites that will pay good money for video of teabaggers

[Mopar151]

83. Do it! Right before you leave

Video faces and license plates. hand the tape of those to the traffic cop, in plain sight of the nearest wackos. Haul ass...

[Drunken Irishman]

I like how you've taken on the persona of your icon.

[ColbertWatcher]

7. Gee, whatever do you mean by that? n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

10. I don't know?

[ColbertWatcher]

48. Gosh, I guess that makes it hard for me to respond then. n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

51. Wait, I thought you were joking.

I guess not?

Wow.

[ColbertWatcher]

57. Now, why in the world would you think I (ColbertWatcher) would be kidding?

This is an important event in American history.

We should just accept that we are in the minority and join our conservative brothers in their quest to teabag the country.

[Drunken Irishman]

59. Ok, you're good. Really good. :)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Didn't. You. Mean.

HUGH?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. I thought it would be hugh too

[ColbertWatcher]

15. Oh, no. I'm absolutely serious.

The expectations for these tea bagging parties/protests are so high, there is no way this group will fall short of them.

We dismiss the importance of these gatherings at our peril.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

22. You're SERIES???///??/

No, seriously. I know what you're saying, and it's entirely possible that the dickheads out there will make some great big crowds.

But, like the dog who always chases cars, what will they do then, when they catch the car?

I know I'll be watching ................

[ColbertWatcher]

26. My expectations for these events is not exaggerated: 20 million nation-wide.

20 million listen to Rush Limbaugh and 20 million will show up.

Anything less will be a disappointment.

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. You honestly believe every single one of Rush's listeners will go to one of these rallies?

No way.

[ColbertWatcher]

42. I absolutely have the highest expectations for these events. The highest. n/t

[brettdale]

45. I think i get the point your making

Its been so hyped up, that anything short of ten thousand people at each event, and it will be a failure.

Faux news is spending millions of this, they of course will lie about the size of the crowds, but a picture says a thousand words, its going to be so sad for them.

[ColbertWatcher]

56. Why, I'm not trying to make a point. Whatever made you say such a thing!?

I'm shocked--shocked that someone would accuse me, ColbertWatcher, of such deceit.

[Ken Burch]

76. And since all of Rush's listerners are REAL HETEROSEXUAL MEN(even the women)

I'm sure they'll bring their TRADITIONALLY MARRIED spouses with them.

And their traditionally conceived children as well.

If there isn't a turnout of at least 80 million, with jugglers, dancing bears, and mass executions of Obama supporters carried live on Fox in all areas, the march will have to be considered a huge(and Hugh)disappointment.

And if all the red meat they'll consume immediately afterwards at local restaurants doesn't pull the entire economy out of recession by the time the Cheney-Palin junta takes power tomorrow night at five, well, they might as well call the whole thing off.

[Bjorn Against]

80. I think it will be closer to 175 million

They tell us that they are a silent majority, and no doubt they will demonstrate that when we see 175 million people teabagging in public.

[Ken Burch]

73. You're right. We should all immediately go into exile.

I hear they're keeping the Venezuelan Embassy open late to accomodate the asylum seekers.

[ColbertWatcher]

75. Actually, Castro will accepting people.

That's the real reason why Obama is lifting the travel restrictions.

[Ken Burch]

78. I was wondering why Barack Hussein has been smoking those cigars lately.

n/t.

[NYC_SKP]

3. What they do in the privacy of their bedrooms is not my business.

But when they flaunt these Tea Bags in my face, it's just not acceptable!

PS: I doubt they are huge, I really do.

[ColbertWatcher]

11. I think you miss the bigger point here.

I expect these protests to be huge. Anything less would be more liberal media lies.

I am expecting big things from this group and its members.

[NYC_SKP]

16. True, the liberal media will surely undercount the true enormity of the teabagging events.

They always do, just like they photoshopped Obama turnouts to make them look bigger. It's true! ;-)

[ColbertWatcher]

19. Now you're getting it. Turnouts for these events will shatter expectations! n/t

[uppityperson]

44. oh I am sure of that also. of course they will, I mean, after all, they

don't want to scare us and besides they are the librul media

[ColbertWatcher]

49. Yup. Because America is a center-right nation and they're more of them ...

... then there are of us ... their rallies will be way bigger than anything Obama saw during the campaign.

[rwheeler31]

4. Where is the Donald showing up? I heard he is broke.

[FreakinDJ]

8. Ha Ha - did you forget the "Pro-War" types

it was funny to watch their little groups of 2 or 3

[ColbertWatcher]

13. Oh no. That happened last time. This time is different.

The expectations will be met and likely exceeded as well.

[FreakinDJ]

14. Ok - I'll conceed - Groups of 5 or 6

you win

[ColbertWatcher]

17. That's a picture from Australia. I doubt the GOP will fall on their faces this time.

If you lower the expectations for these groups you will be surprised.

I know they'll be hugely successful.

[FreakinDJ]

21. Here is a dose of "Reality" for you

Here is your "Army of Teabaggers"

Lame as Lame can be

[ColbertWatcher]

25. I wouldn't lower expectations for these events if I were you.

I am expecting at least twenty million Americans to turn out for it.

That's how many listen to Rush Limbaugh, right?

I expect a very successful turnout.

[Ken Burch]

84. Definitely. By tomorrow night, we'll all be in exile, in hiding, or dead.

n/t.

[Bluebear]

18. You meant "Hugh".

[ColbertWatcher]

23. I expect at least one thousand people at every location. Anything less will be a disappointment. n/t

[FreakinDJ]

24. Your still Dreaming

[ColbertWatcher]

What those pictures aren't showing is the number of people behid the camera man.

The way you're thinking is this: they never showed up before; they won't show up this time.

The way I see it (and how it will happen) is this way: we've lowered our expectations from these patriots and they will finally show their true numbers. There will be at least 20 million (Rush's audience) this time.

And, I'm not crying wolf either.

[nevergiveup]

20. Wouldn't throwing tea bags

in rivers and lakes be considered polluting? I think they should be arrested and charged with polluting and the endangerment of wildlife. How many fish and turtles do you know that like tea? As good progressives we should attend these events and make citizens arrests.

[ColbertWatcher]

27. We will be outnumbered.

Since America is a center-right country, there will not be enough of us to arrest all of them.

I expect millions to show up.

[Lint Head]

28. I agree. The shear size and impact will be noticeable. There will be

an initial thrust followed by a repetition of the former building into a frenzy of emotion. Once the bliss of the moment has died down they will sleep for a while and eventually take up the nasty habit of smoking.
:dem:

[ColbertWatcher]

29. You watch. They will meet and far exceed my expectations for them. n/t

[katanalori]

33. A stampeed I tell ya!

Won't be nearly enough porta potties to service dem teabaggers, nope.
This will be bigger than Elvis. HUGH! Just watch Rush and FOX and you naysayers will eat yer words.

[ColbertWatcher]

43. THANK YOU! They will far exceed my HIGH expectations for them. n/t

[rockymountaindem]

30. Is there anywhere we can see where and in what cities these events will be taking place?

I'd be interested to see them in action.

[ColbertWatcher]

31. I expect Fox will be covering it.

There's no way they would cut away from such a huge news event.

Nothing could drag them away from exclusive of an event of such magnitude.

[rockymountaindem]

34. I mean, I wonder if there will be one in my area so I can go watch

This kind of thing seems just too big to pass up.

[ColbertWatcher]

46. You could probably just go to the tallest building in town and be able to see it.

Even if it's in the next town over.

They will be huge.

[Ken Burch]

82. The tallest building? I think you'd need to rent a helicopter.

Or maybe you'll have to pull it up on Google Earth.

[uppityperson]

47. thank you for this important thread

[ColbertWatcher]

62. You're welcome. n/t

[katanalori]

35. Pervert.

If you want to see teabagging up close, pay the big bucks to the pros - just like the rest of us have to.

[stillcool]

32. How much are they paying?

Is lunch included? Hotel?

[ColbertWatcher]

52. No patriotic America will be paid to show up.

They will all--everyone of them--volunteer to join in this vital protest.

We will be shocked at how many of them there really are.

It will be overwhelming.

[brettdale]

36. Will Faux News bus people in?

They will give out false crowd numbers of course, saying more people turned up than really did.

I only hope one of their journos gets shown up by the counter protests.

[ColbertWatcher]

54. The crowd numbers will not be fake. Fox will faithfully cover this vital news.

All day most likely.

Nothing could make them break away from something that so many American will be participating in.

[Joe the Liberal]

37. Regardless of the turnout to these waste of time Tea parties......

When it's all said and done and the parites are over,

Will anything have been accomplished? no

Will anything have been changed? no

Will America be any different than it was before? no


In the end they are all just a big waste of time and a ridiculous spectacle, the idiots who actually attend them will probably be even more stupid than they were before.


This will be huge alright, a huge waste of time.

[Elidor]

38. It takes big balls to go to a teabagging party

That's why I'm wearing my 3X Large shorts.

Infiltrators!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. No way. We have already had several here.

They are made up of the Ron Paul crazies and a few others. Maybe 25 at the last rally. Considering we have had several thousand at Iraq War anniversary rallies, this is nothing.

[Canuckistanian]

41. Yes, but the 'drive-by media' will never show them

No doubt they'll be awesome spectacles of raw democracy in action, but will we see it? NO!

America is dumbed down, they're brainwashed. And the media is controlled by rich intellectuals who secretly hate their audience and are making sly jokes at their expense.

Is that what you're talking about?

[brettdale]

50. ona right wing blog

Someone asked the question if you send the teabag in the mail to the white house with the string, would you have to pay extra postage, because you will need a bigger envelope.

[Canuckistanian]

61. No. You need to send the string in a separate letter.

The USPS uses Xrays and ultrasound sensors and if they see the string, they'll refuse delivery.

:eyes:

[ColbertWatcher]

58. Yes! n/t

[SmileyRose]

53. I think you are right.

I just know the protesters will outnumber the portolets this time. I think it's time we consider the very real possibility that the teabaggers may neuter the Obama presidency forever.

[ColbertWatcher]

55. I expect no less than 20 million across the country will participate. n/t

[SmileyRose]

65. Well it will be a huge success.

I don't think there are even 20 million portolets in the whole country!! They'll surely outnumber them this time then. :)

[madrchsod]

60. it`s become a religious movement ! raise ronny from the grave!

yes it`s a grassroots movement to raise ronny from the dead. the crazy teabaggers have a cafe press page

[brettdale]

63. At a guess

If its at several locations across the country, they may get up to twenty people at the small locations and maybe two or three hundred at the big locations.

They may get 5000 people tops at all events.

Im guessing though Faux news will say 5 million.

[ColbertWatcher]

66. You are wrong to lower expectations for these teabag parties.

If you do, you will be surprised at the sheer humanity that will show up.

[Ken Burch]

85. Don't you mean "you will be surprised at the sheer inanity that will show up"?

BTW, have they taken over and started arresting all of us yet?

[ColbertWatcher]

64. I expect that their Cafe Press page is raking in the dough.

Probably one of the few businesses making any money these days.

[Ken Burch]

81. "Party Like It's 1773"?

They'd like to go back to being a British colony?

With no public education, or votes for women or the poor, but with lots of slavery?

...oh yeah, that DOES sound like them...

:eyes:

[Warren DeMontague]

67. As surely as Joe The Plumber is a populist phenomenon, having struck a nerve with Real America.

Clearly. Huge.

[EFerrari]

68. This may just be what we needed to jump start the economy!

Why didn't Obama think of this?

[ColbertWatcher]

69. He's too busy praying to Allah.

Or eating kosher, or being an atheist.

I can't keep track anymore.

[tularetom]

70. There will be no porta potties available for anyone else in the entire US of A

[ColbertWatcher]

77. To accomodate the overflow, post offices will be open late. n/t

[Ken Burch]

71. But...will the TEABAGS be huge?

AMERICA DEMANDS TO KNOW!

[ColbertWatcher]

72. Now, that's ridiculous. n/t

[Ken Burch]

79. You're right. It's not the size of the teabag, it's WHAT YOU DO WITH IT!
