Yes, now we can Charles. I approve now LOL.

I did not like the immediate pejorative of calling them 'tea baggers' because it seemed in reference to the sex act.

Now that they embrace it oh well.

I was thinking feminine padders.

and highly absorbent for those long protest marches...

Yes.

Proudly.

I have been calling them tea-baggers since Feb 2009. They are having selective amnesia because the silly buggers were calling themselves tea-baggers at that time. Wonkette had a couple hilarious threads about that very topic.

Same here.

They embraced the term ages ago, so I've been calling them teabaggers from the start. It's not my fault they didn't Google the term to find out any sexual meaning for it, so I don't have any guilt in using it.

OT: Interesting link between Pamela Geller and George Galloway.

"Geller, a woman with an equally tenuous grasp of glamor and grammar"

Hah!

I'd call them by a more serious name if I had any reason to take them seriously.

But the tea parties consist mostly of rabble being roused into cultural resentment. There's no coherent, or even consistent, policy prescription being offered here.

And their concern trolling over deficits is a transparent fraud. When their party and a president they found acceptable were ballooning the deficit, they had no problem with it.

Exactly....they were calling themselves tea-baggers before we did. Maybe it's time they took personal responsibility for picking a really fucked up name. They left the door wide open, we only walked through it.

It's the fact that they did it to themselves which gives me the freedom to use it.

The teabaggers all talk about bootstrapping your way through life and taking responsibility. Well, the same applies as far as the name. If they don't like it, then they can just pull up their bootstraps, adjust their big girl panties, and take responsibility for inflicting the name on themselves. Catering to their feelings would be emotional welfare, and we can't have that for the Don't Tread on Me types. =P

I once attended a lecture by an American book artist, married to a Hungarian guy. THey met and married in Budapest, then moved to the states. He went grocery shopping one day, and returned, troubled, to ask why there was an American tea brand with Stalin's picture on it. She said there wasn't. After some confusion he took her to the store and showed her.

She said "That's Colonel Lipton, sweetheart."

GOP tries to take out tea party-backed candidate

[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

"Not long after tea party-backed Joe Miller stunned Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the Republican establishment is furiously trying to avoid a similar outcome in the Delaware primary on Tuesday. Republican leaders, top strategists and even the Delaware state GOP chairman have taken the unusual step of openly working to defeat O'Donnell and ensure the nomination of their preferred candidate, nine-term Rep. Mike Castle.

Republicans, who have an outside chance of capturing the majority in the Senate in November, see Castle as their best chance of winning the seat long held by Vice President Joe Biden. The moderate Castle is a former governor and has been the state's lone congressman since 1993."

We here in Washington state had a choice in which Republican challenger would go up against Sen. Patty Murray - Rossi or Didier. Palin had come out in support of Didier. Dino prevailed.

Go home Sarah, leave us in peace.

Oh, it's probably the usual Tea Party inside tensions. Paul vs. Palin and all that. And it's like this on a number of issues. For instance, FreedomWorks (or Dick Armey at least) also has a pro-immigration stance which a lot of teabaggers don't like.

This is one of the things in which the Tea Party is unusual -- unlike other movements (anti-war, pro-life, pro-choice, etc), they actually don't have a coherent set of policies they would like to implement on almost any area. Even the "cut spending now!" stuff would probably fall apart the moment the older teabaggers (and there are a lot of those) would realize the implications this would have to Social Security and Medicare.

I think that's the reason many of their slogans are conveniently vague -- They're mad as hell, they're against Marxism, and they want their country back. The movement can't much more specific than that without imploding.

Makes sense. It's a ludicrous thing for a slaveowner raised wealthy to have said.

re: #149 SanFranciscoZionist

I think the pink ones from "I Wanna Be Osama" were cuter.

Oh darn, I missed those.

re: #152 CuriousLurker

Um...no. And I don't want to? Please?

Then you haven't seen everything.

Well, I guess I'll just have to go on living then. *sigh*

re: #151 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Have you seen a man eat his own head?

Which one? :P

re: #154 CuriousLurker

Oh darn, I missed those.

Google it, I think the number is still on YouTube. It's from a larger piece called "Jihad! The Musical." In this song, the young hero contemplates how he wants to be 'like Osama B.'

At some point, girls in pink burqas run onstage and dance around him with cardboard cut-outs of automatic weapons.

Do not watch while drinking coffee.

I wanna be like Osama
I wanna wear designer clothes beneath a robe
While my lackeys loom like vultures, I’ll declare a clash of cultures,
Kill civilians by the millions round the globe
Grow a beard down to my navel, conquer YouTube, get on cable,
And be wealthier than any man I know
Please make me like Osama B.
With an Al Jazeera Show!

Poor Hoopster.....
I hope he at least had fun at the tailgate party...

re: #147 SanFranciscoZionist

And do you need to dry the leaves, or can you brew it fresh off the plant?

You can do either. I just pick a handfull of leaves and brew them in a french press coffee maker for green tea. If you want black tea you need to roll and dry the leaves.

Cool, I just learned something..and I'm sure it will come in handy. Thanks!

Oh, wait! I saw a clip just yesterday or the day before here, with the guy singing at the piano about feeling special after everybody knowing who OBL was. I'll have to go look for more. (As soon as I finish my coffee—did you hide a webcam in here?).

Hmmm. Interesting possibilities.

You can just shoot me now—I've seen everything.

Look, schmuckalevitch, there is only one correct set of rules for using apostrophes, and your kids are gonna learn 'em whether you like it or not!

re: #164 SanFranciscoZionist

Hmmm. Interesting possibilities.

I like to throw in some fresh ginger and/or mint sometimes too.

No, I'M drinking coffee at the moment.

re: #157 publicityStunted

Phew! No pictures. I was very, very afraid to click that link.

Death Panels!

re: #39 Charles

This is not a pot legalizing kind of crowd here.

You'd know best, of course, but I see it as a rather laissez-faire crowd when it comes to what people do in private. Perhaps I'm projecting my own "I don't use pot, I don't want to use pot, I don't really give a hoot" attitude.

re: #158 SanFranciscoZionist

Here's the link. That's was really funny!

Speaking of tea, have any of you tried Billy Tea?

re: #172 Sionainn

PIMF. I apparently failed the apostrophe lesson.

So apparently the Palin/Beck rally had about 400 people show up.

I was given a box years ago. Not bad but probably needed to make the way it was supposed to have been, in a billy can.

Inelligable!

re: #94 Charles

Breitbart is raving now.

Just called all reporters "flat out evil."

Doesn't he claim to be a reporter?

re: #177 jaunte

Is it better than Billy Beer?

re: #131 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Suggestion? If I may? If you an afford it? Give the kids a drum set for Christmas.

Perfect suggestion, FBV.

We've never explored The Illustrated Tea Party Dictionary.

Enjoy!

Hey SFZ - you gonna head over to the Solano Street STroll anytime today? I don't think it's necessary but I'm thinking of doing it just to get outside for a bit.

re: #180 ClaudeMonet

Don't know about Billy Beer.

I'm with Lidane later down the thread...hasn't Breitbart tried to claim some sort of journalistic privileges in the past?

If he has, what a hypocrite...as I've stated before, irony is lost on the stupid and the ignorant.

re: #183 Bear

Don't know about Billy Beer.

You have to be about 50 or older to get it. Back when Jimmy Carter was in his unlamented Presidency, his professionally redneck brother Billy endorsed a brand of beer made by Falls City Brewing of Louisville. It was absolute crap, even worse than Falls City's own stuff. You could use it for cooking and that's about it; as drinking beer it was totally without merit.

re: #185 ClaudeMonet

UGH! Check out Billy Tea at Google. Perhaps in addition to not making it in a billy I needed to have a 'roo watching.

re: #86 Ojoe

ROFL MAXIMUS!!!!! HAHahahahaa!!!!

And....we are absolutly certain that this person is a tea partier and not a crasher?

Heh. Yeah, that's it. It's a leftist plant, trying to make the real teabaggers look bad.
