Tea Parties, They’re What’s For Lunch Tomorrow
By Kleinheider Posted on April 14, 2009 at 9:10 pmVia the Hill:
Several Republican lawmakers are expected at 750 Boston Tea Party-styled protests to mark the day federal taxes are due.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is attending a party in Bakersfield, Calif., while House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will join protestors in Madison, Wis.
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich is said to be attending an event in New York, and other lawmakers could attend parties from coast to coast, though organizers said they couldn’t say how many lawmakers would show up.

Ron Ramsey, Zach Wamp, and Bill Haslam will be teabagging tomorrow.
Heh.
Don’t forget the unofficial-official Bob Corker socialist breakfast the day after in Franklin, although the invitation has been pulled.
I am on a mission to educate the Republicans who are tone deaf to even the most blatant pop culture reference.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teabagging&defid=1608058
I woulda thought Ramsey or Wamp woulda outlawed men teabagging . . . Guess not because Ramsey and Wamp will be teabagging tomorrow . . . I can’t say that enough.
Laugh it up, the more you try to use your hipper than thou urban dictionary references the more credibility you lose. Do you really think that 99% of Americans even get the teabagging reference? It’s an inside joke. By pointing out that there’s another meaning, you only show yourself to be juvenile, disgusting people. Take David Shuster, an MSNBC “journalist” who’s jumped the shark, on Countdown last night:
“For most Americans, Wednesday, April 15th will be Tax Day, but in our fourth story tonight: It’s going to be teabagging [*ding*] day for the right-wing and they’re going nuts [*ding*] for it. Thousands of them whipped out [*ding*] the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless [*ding*], the teabaggers [*ding*] are full-throated [*ding*] about their goals.
“They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing [*ding*] and lick [*ding*] government spending - spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan,” they oppose Mr. Obama’s tax rates - which will be lower for most of them — and they oppose the tax increases Mr. Obama is imposing on the rich, whose taxes will skyrocket to a rate about 10 percent less than it was under Reagan. That’s teabagging [*ding*] in a nut shell [*ding*].”
“We can only speculate why widespread teabagging [*ding*] made [Neil] Cavuto think of the Million Man March, unless he got them confused with Dick [*ding*] Armey,” Shuster said. “And in Cavuto’s defense, if you are planning simultaneous teabagging [*ding*] all around the country, you’re going to need a Dick Armey [*ding*].”
This passes for political commentary from the jackasses at MSNBC. Is this really that funny? It’s the sort of stupid dick jokes and bathroom humor I’d expect from Howard Stern or someone of his ilk. It’s pushing the line of what’s acceptable or what can be gotten away with on cable Tv. MSNBC should be ashamed of this garbage, but they delight in it. “Teabagging” [*ding*] has been a regular feature all week on MSNBC’s primetime line up. There’s not been a serious story about what the movement is trying to accomplish, only dirty jokes.
So, like I said, laugh it up. The Obama administration’s tin ear is going to cost the Dem’s dearly in two years because the “teabaggers” [*ding*] in the hinterlands are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington. It’s not a Republican movement, it’s a movement of frustrated citizens, but Republicans are reaching out to these people, while as usual Democrats are simply making fun.
Daniel, do you really think the Tea Partiers don’t know what teabagging means? Frankly, I find the idea of telling federal government politicians to suck my balls rather appealing. Turning the tables and making them the peoples’ bitch, i.e., servants of the people, would be a welcome change of pace.
Daniel Plainview:
Go “teabag” yourself.
You, by pointing out the “urban dictionary reference”, have proven beyond a shadow of doubt what a truly disgusting individual you are.
You guys are melting down.
I’m not the one who decided to refer to a national event as a sex act.
They are mad as hell about the last three months, and they’re not going to take it anymore! *snicker*
