Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 2:16 pm PST

There was a third "igniting package" at a Washington DC postal facility today... The Maryland packages contained a note railing against highway signs urging motorists to report suspicious activity, investigators revealed. The message read: "Report suspicious activity! Total Bull----! You have created a self fulfilling prophecy." Richard J. Wolf, a ...

Tea Partiers Beware: Stay Away From the Green and Yellow Lines

Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 10:28 am PDT

A Tea Party website in Maine has some handy tips for those planning to attend Glenn Beck's rally in Washington DC -- specifically, how to avoid being mugged by those third world minority types who lurk on the Green and Yellow lines: DC's population includes refugees from every country, as ...

Andrew Breitbart and the Argument from Ignorance

Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 9:51 am PDT

As we noted last month, Andrew Breitbart has been claiming that Reps. John Lewis, Andre Carson, and Emanuel Cleaver lied about hearing the ‘N’ word screamed at them by Tea Party protesters. This claim has been picked up by numerous wingnut bloggers, and I’ve received at least a dozen hate ...

Andrew Breitbart: Rep. John Lewis is Lying

Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 10:09 am PDT

As we noted last Sunday, Rep. John Lewis and Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said tea party protesters screamed the “N” word at them repeatedly as they walked to the Capitol. (They also screamed “faggot” at Barney Frank.) Now Andrew Breitbart is calling Representatives Lewis and Cleaver liars. He denies any racist slurs ...

What Racism at the Tea Parties?

Sun, Mar 21, 2010 at 2:41 pm PDT

Wow. The racism that underlies much of the tea party movement is coming to the surface more and more, and yesterday in Washington DC the mask came completely off: Protesters hurl slurs and spit at Democrats. Washington (CNN) - Civil rights icon and veteran Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, said anti-health ...

Tea Partiers Threatening Violence? Where?

Sun, Mar 21, 2010 at 10:16 am PDT

Right here. These signs were at yesterday’s sparsely attended demonstration in Washington DC. And yes, that’s Barack Obama with a Hitler mustache emerging from a donkey’s ass. (Hat tip: Gus 802.)

Boehner: GOP and Tea Partiers Believe the Same Things

Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 10:53 am PST

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said today that there is no difference in beliefs between the GOP and tea partiers. “There really is no difference between what Republicans believe in and what the tea party activists believe in,” Boehner said during an appearance on the conservative Mike Gallagher’s radio ...

Jon Stewart on the Final Tea Party of the Year

Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 10:15 am PST

The targets are almost too easy, but Stewart’s take on Tuesday’s incredibly loony tea party “die-in” is hilarious nonetheless. [Video]

Tea Partiers Live! Bachmann: 'The Charge of the Light Brigade!'

Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 11:01 am PST

The tea party die-in is now being carried live (get it? a live die-in? har!) on C-SPAN3. Michele Bachmann just shrieked at the top of her voice, “It’s like the charge of the light brigade!” I don’t think that’s really the best analogy for her to use. Does Bachmann realize that the ...

Video: Massive Crowd Gathers for Tea Party Die-In

Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 9:29 am PST

Millions of tea partiers gathered in Washington DC today, to stage a “die-in” protest against health care and demonstrate how little difference remains between the far left and the far right. Here’s tea party “activist” Mark Meckler, whipping up the massive throng and getting them ready to “die” for the ...

A Tea Party Die-In - The Circle is Unbroken

Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 8:42 pm PST

Yes, that’s right. Any differences remaining between the far left and the far right are now forever erased. The first breach in the wall: the giant puppets. And now the wall comes all the way down, with a much-favored tactic of Code Pink: the die-in. It is time, once again, to flex ...

Fisking Spencer

Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 9:29 am PDT

Little Bulldogs has an excellent post exposing the relentless anti-Muslim bigotry of the owner of Jihad Watch: Fisking Robert Spencer. I wrote on Monday how MPACUK was trying to turn the peaceful praying of a few thousand Muslims at Capitol Hill into a political event. Now it’s the turn of ...

Again with the Grossly Inflated Numbers, Part Deux

Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 2:41 pm PDT

Tim Blair joins the crowd of right wing bloggers trying to spin up the attendance numbers at the Washington DC tea party, responding to my post about Metrorail ridership by quoting the Heritage Foundation, who, as we all know, are completely unbiased (ahem): BIGNESS ENSMALLENED. ...Comparing September 12, 2008, to ...

This video shows what happened when a man walked through the Washington DC tea party with a sign that said, “Public Option Now!” He had a police escort, and obviously needed them. Imagine what would have happened if the police weren’t there. [Video]

Again With the Grossly Inflated Numbers

Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 4:56 pm PDT

Again we must revisit the issue of attendance at the Washington DC tea party, because, amazingly, the right wing blogosphere is still trying to artificially pump up the number, with very scientific-sounding calculations. Here’s the Washington DC Metrorail service information for Saturday, September 12, 2009: September 12, 2009: Metrorail: 437,624 Comparable ...

The Two Million Protester Myth and the Right Wing Blogosphere

Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 8:51 am PDT

Brendan Nyhan has a good post on the spread of the two million protestor myth across the right wing blogosphere — one of the most embarrassing episodes I’ve witnessed among people who pride themselves on “fact checking.” After all, who cares about basic fact checking when there’s an ideology to be ...

Glenn Beck Claims 1.7 Million People at Tea Party

Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 11:15 am PDT

Glenn Beck, naturally, falls right in line with the absurdly inflated crowd numbers that are all over the right wing blogs. His source for this claim? A ... university somewhere. He can’t remember the name. Just some university that did a ... study. [Video] UPDATE at 9/15/09 11:33:47 am: One of the crowd pictures going ...

Tea Party Leader Mark Williams: Hoist With His Own Petard

Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 9:43 am PDT

Here’s Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams on the Anderson Cooper show, denying there are any extremists at the tea parties, they’re just a tiny minority of fringe elements, no racists, only a few Obama-with-a-bone-through-his-nose pictures, everything’s just fine. And then Anderson quotes what Mark Williams wrote on his own blog. [Video] ...

Right Wing Blogs in Massive Fail Mode

Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 9:56 pm PDT

This is so pathetic I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Dozens — if not hundreds — of right wing blogs are running with this quote, portraying it as a statement about the tea party held last weekend: ‘We believe it is the largest event held in Washington, D.C., ever.’ The ...

Tea Party Logo: Lifted From Communist Designs

Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 9:15 am PDT

The threatening clenched fist logo of the “9-12 Taxpayer March on DC” (organizer of the Washington DC tea party) is clearly based on the logo of the Progressive Labor Party — a group whose stated purpose is to “smash capitalism.” Unity and resistance are what the fist represented in 1917, ...
