Tea Bags Denied.

I'm watching Fox News to enjoy the spectacle and they just announced that the million tea bag steep will not be happening in DC.

The million tea bags were delivered, but they couldn't be unloaded.

Apparently you need a permit to teabag.

Who knew?

:shrug:



:rofl:

n.t.

*sheds a single tear for the tea bags*

We could always use Free caffeine at Amtrak. I am sure Biden would approve.

They did try to unload them.

A million ruined tea bags. Unreal. Well, at least the tea companies pockets got a little fatter.

The worst laid plans of GOOPers, not men, aft gang agly.

Please tell me there are some YouTube videos of freepers at the county office asking for teabagging permits!!!

:rofl:

4 miserable looking people, I might add.

They also announced that a second tea party was being canceled and everyone should head over to where he was.

:rofl:

Remember the weather differences between the two nomination conventions and how the fundies prayed for rain on Obama at the stadium?

lawn?

I'm glad they actually spent the money and effort to get that far, just to be denied at the very end.

See? SOCIALISM!!!!


mark:rofl:

They must be steaming right now! ;)

(corny joke INTENDED!)

I kinda doubt ALL that tea-money came from the supposed tea-baggers. I'm betting FAUX spews and related NOPers coughed up a big chunk

... and your soul will fly out through your belly button!

I couldn't help myself. Free porn? Who could resist? ;)

Not surprisingly, Fox is not reporting this on their website.

He's on live again now.

ETA: There's more people there now, but he just reported the bit about the tea bags again...NO PERMIT = NO BAGGING.

:rofl:

their cause is totally clueless just like them.

FUX lied.

Imagine that...!!!

are proof.

under BushCo?

Boy - if only Jeff Gannon were around.

Seriously?
Epic fail

all have jobs (which are especially necessary to pay Obama's sky-high taxes). Unlike liberals, who are all on welfare... :eyes:

I knew this would happen

Poor weather and permit problems are threatening to put a damper on the kick-off to anti-tax "tea party" protests Wednesday.

One million tea bags delivered to a Washington, D.C., park were reloaded and sent away because tea party organizers did not have the proper permit.

The massive shipment of tea to Lafayette Park was meant to be the start of a day of protests expected across the country by people fed up with high taxes and excess spending.

But the tea was reloaded back onto a truck and sent away, protest organizer Rebecca Wales told FOX News...

I'm at work

I mean the ones bought at the grocery store

"There was no such law (or ordinance).....they used that as an excuse to deny our protest because they knew we'd have tons of people show up".....or something along those lines...lol

its Obama keeping people from FREE ASSEMBLY! socialism and fascism rearing its ugly head. thats what the right wing websites are saying.

:rofl:

I walked outside to catch a glimpse and found that not only does the weather suck; there's nothing going on on The Mall other than the normal groups of tourists and High School students on field trips!! :)

pictures. i want pictures.

:rofl:

I can't wait for teabaggers to be fined when they throw teabags into the rivers. Sure, we'll lower your taxes, but that's $500 per teabag.

Fail

It's really pathetic lol -- one thread is titled "Whitehouse blocks tea party at treasury"

Um NO idiots...you just needed to get a permit like anybody else would have to lol--God knows hysterical assholes running around with t-shirts proclaiming things like "proud teabagger" just HELPS the Obama administration LMAO!

:rofl:

Idiots!

There will be no tea-dumping in the Potomac River -- that's illegal -- but organizers of today's national tea party tax protest found out this morning that so is their plan to dump a million tea bags in Lafayette Square to demonstrate displeasure at government spending and tax policies. Protesters, using a rented truck to haul the million tea bags, began unloading their cargo at the park this morning but were told by officials that they didn't have proper permits and must move the tea . They complied with the order but are still considering what to do with the load.

The protesters got more bad news this morning when security officials also told them that they did not have proper permits for a rally in front of the Treasury building. That noon-time protest had been expected to provide a national stage for speeches by such figures as Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform; former presidential candidate Alan Keyes; and Thomas A. Schatz, president of Citizens Against Government Waste. But after the discussion with security officials, the protesters sent away the advance crew that was to set up risers and equipment for news crews.

Wales said they are among 700 such rallies scheduled today across the country. "This is the largest grass-roots demonstration in history," she said. The events seek to emulate protests of the Revolutionary War era, in which ship cargoes of tea were dumped overboard by colonists chafing at British rule. Wales said protesters are angry at, among other things, government bailouts of industry, the economic stimulus package and congressional earmarks. "It runs the gamut," she said. "People really need to know what to do next," she said, adding that elections are "not that far away. People need to see that there are alternatives to this administration."

I would kill for video of that.
