Teabaggers = Modern-day Spartans?
So I saw 300 for the first time last night. Yeah, I know it's been out a while- I read the comic books when they first came out- and while I thought it was good, through the whole movie I was thinking to myself 'They talk just like the people at those teabag rallies'....

If you ever want to see how the teabaggers view themselves, watch 300. They are the Spartans and Obama is Xerxes.

Thanks for ruining a good movie Glenn Beck.

1. Uh' no. Sparta was it's own state.
Teabaggers are Americans who don't like it when most of the country don't vote like they want.

5. They were, but most teabaggers wouldn't know that since it wasn't in the movie.

6. That's pretty much an insult to the Spartans . . .
and movies and comic books aren't a good source for history (just sayin'). ;)

9. A great riff off of the old Eddie Murphy schtick: "Hey little Italian guys: Rocky was just a movie".
:rofl:

13. A line in the movie: "Give them nothing, but take from them everything"
Sounds like the health insurance industry's battle cry.
