Code Pink went to a teabag party

TAX THE POOR

:rofl: You ladies so rock!!

There were 20-30 people there. (There are 450,000 people in Long Beach.) They didn't have a clue. They yelled at me because I had a sign pointing out that most services (streets, sidewalks,parks, libraries, etc.) were paid for with TAXES. They were mean and surly. I got the distinct impression that they were mad because Obama won. Virtually everybody left after one hour. Back to work, no doubt.

Reminded me of Monty Python's "Life Of Brian" where the monks were walking in a line, chanting, and hitting themselves in the head with bricks.

Well, to paraphrase a well-worn right wing mantra, "Get over it."

Obana's margin of victory in the '08 election was 2-1/2 times what Bush's was in 2004. Now THAT's a mandate!

The organizer of this "teabagging" party failed to get the necessary permit. She also pushed my wife and told us we couldn't be there. After I told her we could because there were two of us, (Under local law, you need 3 or more to have an "unlawful assembly") and after I told her I would summon the police if she kept harrassing us, she left us alone. And we left them alone.

Totally clueless, and I predict this "movement" will die out of its own accord. (Too much effort.) Either that or they will become radicalized and be shot by the Guard. Ignorance of what is is no excuse.

The organizer of this event was bitching online because she had no help and no money. Ain't that the Neoconservative way. Well, sister, get used to it unless you have a shitload of money. Reality bites, doesn't it?

As a home owner, I will continue to pay my property taxes as long as I use services paid for with taxes.

I admire your courage.

The Life of Brian featured the leper who was mad that he'd have to work after Jesus cured him.

thank you!
that's great

I love that hat though.

That photo and others with teabagger signs can be found at a RW website at http://ageofhooper.wordpress.com/

If you can stand the snark, there are some interesting pictures.

Which side do you think? :crazy:

bookmarked.

I was thinking Billionaires for Bush should show up.

Yes I do have an Armani Tux which looks just like the Monopoly Guy's suit, and I have worn it to protests before to do the Billionaires for Bush thing. I had to work today so I wasn't able to make it, but if they have any more tea parties I will go.

The Billionaires for Bush crack me up, love them.

And love Code Pink, too!

And this guy got right in their face and was screaming at them. He didn't get the joke and he was really pissed off. It was funny. The Billionaires did a great job of calming him down and convincing him they were joking.

Wicked funny. :rofl:

Normally, but not today, they outfit and sign are perfect. Huzzah to them.

my heroes.

Lovin' it, I may have to put on my Code Pink sneakers in solidarity. :thumbsup:

Time to buy another one I guess.

hoody and sneakers. I'll be happy to send you mine.

I was listening to Thom Hartmann in the car this afternoon and I swear that I heard that Code Pink and The Raging Grannies were on the list of extremist groups on the left. I couldn't believe it! Some rwinger on his show was trying to make some type of equivalence between them and the nuts on the right who threaten violence and sometimes carry it out.

The Raging Grannies....:crazy: Those crazed older women who dress for protests and SING are extremists.:crazy: :crazy:

And they are not scoring on many points.

That's the best one I've seen today.

:applause: :patriot:
