My songwriter friend wrote a song about the teabag parties - check out these lyrics
Talking Tea Party Blues

April 15 2009 - Jim Herrmann

Just the other day I saw my friend Joe
I said to him Joe whadda you know
He said I'm going down in my station wagon
Gonna do me some tea bagging
I said to him Joe I don't think it's the place
To tell me bout your scrotum in someone's face
He said no, no, no taint that at all
You see I'm a going down to city hall
I'm tired of paying all this here taxation
Without having none of that representation
I'm mad as hell I guarantee
So we're gonna have us a tea party
I said oh, like those liberals up in Boston
He said huh?

I think you refer to that Boston Tea Par-ty
The one back in seventeen seventy three
That happened when the crown cut taxes
And the sons of liberty took up axes
They were afraid the East Indy Company
Would soon have a sure monopoly
In a peaceful protest they dumped the tea
Which at that time was revolutionary
So actually what they were against
Was unfair trade and corporate largess
So tell me again what you're trying to accomplish
By dumping tea bags in the halls of congress
That old tea party sure sounds progressive to me
He said huh? I said yes our founders were progressive.

He said that fascist socialist Hussein Obama
Is gonna raise taxes on my momma
Take away my guns and religion too
And let all the gays sleep with you
He's gonna free all those people on crack
And besides all that, have you noticed, the man is black
I said I see what you mean
He said "you do"? I said "yes Joe, I see exactly what you mean."

I said you've been listening to too much Rush
Seems to me your brain has turned to mush
I don't know what you think you've been sold
But it's racist hate if the truth be told
You see it's not Obama that you should hate
It's the corporate empire controlling our state
Focus your anger on the real evil here
Don't mis-direct it out of fear
If your ideas aren't being selected
Work your ass off and get elected
As it stands now with the party of no
If I were you I'd tell them where to go
He said I think I see what you mean
I said you do? He said yep, I think you're right
I said Huh!?
