1. They'll draw a tiny group of hot-heads and idiots. The local media
will chirp and kowtow, and then the whole thing will be over.

22. They'll probably get hours and hours of coverage -- way more than the massive anti-war rallies
You know, the ones where hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people showed up all over the country ... and nary a peep from the media was heard.

4. Here in Tulsa the NBC affiliate had a big story
on the 10 O'Clock news about the three tea parties in the city tomorrow. The reporter said "the events are intended to be non-partisan." What a fucking pile of horse shit.

19. You know I've seen the OP around DU, and they're really OK with me....
But I just had to COMMENT on this!
If that makes me a bad person, then so be it.
As far as the things that make me a Bad Person,
this one will be way down at the bottom of the list.


I had something similar happen in real life a couple weeks ago:
My manager did something silly, and Lord knows I love my manager,
but I just had to "BWAHAHAHAAAAAA".

She understood. She's like that. That's one of the reasons I like her so much.

14. Actually in a touch of irony the Ron Paul Libertarians are teaching the teabaggin' sheeple some of
GW's and the Republicon power elite's misdeeds, crimes, and hidden agendas. They are actually being radicalized against the Republicon party! Its fascinating to watch. Time to pop some more popcorn... :popcorn:

17. They'll get a few people.
Not even close to the numbers we can draw for a good cause.

I predict they'll get a couple hundred in New York City, other cities may get a few dozen. Small towns will be lucky to get four or five to show up.

Just to make it look like they have lots of support. Shades of the Brooks Brothers "Riots" during the 2000 Florida recount. The rethugs have a history of trucking in people for appearances sake.

30. The reptilians will pay their staffers to go...
like they did in Miami-Dade county in 2000. The reptilian party is good at manipulating propaganda - that is what they do. Actual governing policy on the other hand pretty much eludes them.

I don't think they will be that well attended but FOX will make a big deal about it so unless you are paying attention it may seem like it was a big deal. I believe most will see through these shenanigans but I thought most people would see through Bush in '04 so I could be wrong.

Are you a fan of David Icke or are you just using that as a metaphor? It's an apt metaphor, but it makes me think of Icke and his crazy shit, unfortunately.

47. Meh
The ultra-morans are already alleging that nobody in the Liberal Media is paying enough attention to their teabagging parties compared to the Proposition 8 protests. Apparently the MSM is supposed to drop everything because the RRRW whackos decided--after 8 years of Der Fuhrer Bush spending umpteen billions/day on the Iraq war and untold billions on his corporatist cronies--that overboard government spending three months into the Obama Administration is suddenly a HUGH problem.

61. Hey! I'll have you know there are 166 confirmed teabaggers
showing up at the Rochester, NY event, per their Facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?sid=867964a07bbaccdf49bda15e15078218&eid=57457177548

Though why they're having it at 11 a.m. is a mystery to me.
