Teabaggery
Remember when I said that all the GOP has left are sociopaths, the home-schooled, and the clinically insane? You’re going to see that demonstrated next week when the tea parties shift into high gear. A preview from the Huffington Post:
Hundreds of tea party protests are scheduled in cities and towns across the country for tax day (help us report on them!). But the curious don’t need to wait till April 15 to get a sense of what these protests might be like.
Take note of all the grownups dressed as teabags (they’re supposed to look like they’re in stocks):
Of course there is no one better than Michelle Malkin (Our Lady of the Concentration Camps) to stir up the fluoridated-water crowd:
“Get ready for the anti-Tea Party sabotage and smear campaign” For the next 9 days, the left-wing blogosphere and left-wing clueless pundits will hammer away with their unreality-based Tea Party smears.
And on the ground, the tax-subsidized and Soros-subsidized troops are going to try and wreak havoc every way they can. Many readers and fellow bloggers have seen signs that ACORN may send in ringers and saboteurs to usurp the anti-tax, anti-reckless spending, anti-bailout message.
How does George Soros have time to make any money when he’s so busy fucking with the teabaggers?
Another video making the rounds shows a patriot in Ohio saying he’s told his accountant he’s not paying taxes anymore:
A few on the right – including eliminationist Charles Johnson – are starting to realize that the Republican party is doomed. John Batchelor:
What about the Republican Party right now? Isn’t it on radio and TV claiming to be the party of fiscal responsibility and American power? Bypassing the stupidity of these claims, I am on radio, on what is called right-wing radio, and it is easy for me to see that my loudest colleagues, who compulsively repeat the cant of Conservatism for Dummies, are not sincere students of the Republican Party but rather barkers, hookers, establishmentarian jesters, cultists, and, in the worst instance, just thatch-headed whiners.
That’s a pretty good description of promoters of the teabag douchbaggery.
The next week should be interesting. John Cole:
The best part about all the attention the tea parties will get the next couple of days is that it will all be on film. The usual suspects are already trying to do damage control, pretending that they will have been infiltrated by no-gooders (who else- Soros funded ACRON!), but that is pure nonsense, and the country is going to get a good look at some pure, undiluted, right-wing crazy.
I can’t wait. Stay tuned Stinquers.

Forgive me quoting this from the netz instead of writing it myself but it sort of speaks to this issue: one bunch of douchebags up to no good inspiring another set of douche bags too stupid to walk and chew gum.
Turns out the Sons of Liberty were not protesting the tea tax, they were saving their lucrative tea smuggling operation. See some of the Sons, specifically John Hancock, was illegally importing tea from the Dutch East Indies Company, bypassing British Customs and selling the tea in the 13 original colonies.
Now, there was a tea tax and there was a protest. And it was working. With the illegal tea available at cheaper prices the colonists had all but ceased purchasing tea through legal sources.
The British East India Company was not thrilled to have all this extra tea available in their warehouses. So they cut their prices. LOW…. So low, that the price of tea was now below the pre-tax price. How low was that? Lower than Hancock and Co. could afford to import illegal tea for. (and yes, I know that sentence is ungrammatical)
And that is how is the Boston Tea Party came to happen. It didn’t occur to stop the British from selling OVER-PRICED tea to the American colonists… It happened to stop the American colonists from buying CUT-RATE-priced tea.
Anyhoo, something like that.
