a couple guys here at the office are leaving at lunch to go protest for tax cuts for the rich

are they protesting the tax cuts, or protesting to get the cuts?

sorry, i was being facetious in that one of the major criticisms of these protest has been that they are misguidedly protesting taxation that either 1) does not apply to their bracket, or 2) actually benefits their bracket,

mind you, this is from what i understand, having probably read too much huffpo.

i realize protest is fundamental to democracy

oh dear.... let the teabaggings begin.

ugh...found out my parents are going to the indpls one

so, you are going to disown them, right?

no...just be annoyed and try to subtely ignore the literature that they will probably bring back

you must mock them at the least. good lord.

email from my mom this morning:

"Your dad and I are going to this later. It might be an historic event." (Link to Tea Party)



but at the end of the day, she's still my mother and i love 'er, no matter how many free tickets to the creation museum she tries to slip me

plausible...i mean there were only, what, a few thousand millenia between the time of noah and the time of hayzoos?

i heard it was proven by scientists studying petrified jesus droppings

jesus I thought liberals were supposed to be the whiners.

I hope Ron Paul buys a bulldozer to run through some of these crowds (though obviously not hurting anyone's parents)

Just want to be the 700,000th dude to remind Glenn Beck that Davy Crockett died at The Alamo FIGHTING MEXICO. Texas was ANNEXED in 1845 and seceeded just 16 years later. Not your best choice for Union Waving Jingoism. Also, Thomas Paine would spit in your face, Glenn.

Not knowing that "teabagging" is a funny word for a special reason makes today all the more funny.

This is a low point for America and a high point for comedy.

from what i hear, these projected 7000-10,000 person rallies are turning out in the low hundreds in more than a few spots

fox news could also be reminded that even though they claim to have been the for the Million Man March (to push the point that they are merely fair and balanced observers), the MMM was in 95 and fox news didn't go on the air until 96

Its cute the republicans are trying to be defiant and organized.

i find it interesting how what the tea baggers are saying about Obama is incredibly similar to what the farthest of the left were saying about Bush.

My wife did not enjoy my protest last night

that's strange..my fraternity sure did

some of the t-shirts these idiots were wearing are downright TERRIFYINGLY ignorant.

examples?

Some of the ones shown on Maddow last night were:

"Speak for yourself, Obama, we are a Christian Nation"

"Hey big brother, show us your real birth certificate"

"Stand idly by while some Kenyan takes over the country? I don't think so. Homie don't play dat!"

sadly, from the one in Philly:
"Barack Hussein Obama: The new face of Hitler"
"American taxpayers are the Jews for Obamas ovens"
