Learn to Speak Teabag

Totally funny, especially the ending.  Too bad the cartoonist, Mark Fiore, is now getting death threats from the teabag crowd.  Seriously.

Straight White Men Gone Wild

David Corn, Politics Daily:

When John Boehner, the Republican leader of the House, appeared at the Tea Party rally at the Capitol on Thursday afternoon, it was a dramatic signal: The wing-nuts have taken over the GOP.

Think I'm being harsh? The angry folks at the protest -- which attracted several thousand conservatives -- held up signs with messages of hate: "Get the Red Out of the White House," "Waterboard Congress," "Ken-ya Trust Obama?" One called the president a "Traitor to the U.S. Constitution." Another sign showed pictures of dead bodies at the Dachau concentration camp and compared health care reform to the Holocaust. A different placard depicted Obama as Sambo. Yes, Sambo. Another read, "Obama takes his orders from the Rothchilds" -- a reference to the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory holding that one evil Jewish family has manipulated events around the globe for decades.

All of this extremism was on display -- proudly -- at an event that was officially sponsored by the House Republicans.

You know the straight white boys are loving it, though; it's kinda like a dry orgy, isn't it?  No cumrags or condoms needed, but loads and loads of fun spewing their stuff all over the place.

And I bet you dollars to doughnuts every single one of them is proud to be a Christian and an American, to boot.  Even though they have not the slightest clue what those terms actually mean.

As Andrew Sullivan says, Sarah Palin is the perfect leader for these modern-day Know-Nothings:  a candidate who knows nothing.

Anderson Cooper on Teabagging

Anderson tells it like it is - right at the end of the clip.

Although come to think of it, he must be thinking of the teabaggee, not the teabagger, no?
