ZOMG! Teabaggers on my wavelength!
Check the sign on the right-hand side of the photo …
You think YOU wish stupid hurt?! You don't know the half of it, you right-wing braindead Alabama-ass fuckwit. If stupid hurt, the pain might actually kill you.

HAHAAH. Make that a bumper sticker please. "If Stupid hurt I bet the pain would kill you"

I wish I could find a place online that did on-demand production of high-quality t-shirts AND bumperstickers. Spreadshirt looks great for shirts, but it seems silly to do stickers at one place, and shirts at another.

Don't know about their quality – but at least you can get both together.
But back to the teabagging – at least some new people get to learn what protesting on the streets is all about
You might disagree with them but give them credit for getting off their asses and putting their point of view forward. I've met a lot of people in my life who I disagree with on many issues, but who I still respect as human beings because their goal is the common good.

As to the "tea parties". Hm. Yes, "getting off their asses" is maybe a good thing. Except for the fact that most of 'em were prompted to do so by whatever neocon propaganda FOX News spoonfed them about it …
FOX is quite possibly the most bullshit-ridden, craven propaganda-machine-masquerading-as-a-news-provider to be seen in the developed world since the fall of the first round of newspaper barons (is it a coincidence that media consolidation & blatant bias was a significant presence prior to both big market crashes here in the US? Hmmm….), and a huge percentage of the US public never think to look beyond the bullshit FOX sells 'em.
So y'know, while I wholeheartedly approve of our First Amendment rights in the US, that doesn't require me to respect people who lack the self-respect and native curiosity to make sure they have SOME basis in fact for the shit they're exercising their rights to bitch about.

20th April 2009 at 9:37 pm | permalink |On one of my old laptops I had a sticker that said "Stupidity Should be Painful." Every time I went through security as the airport, I had to take it out to send through the x-ray machine. And I'd always turn it up so that the screener could see it.
It never failed, one of the TSA flunkies would read the sticker and chuckle, and then show one of the other screeners.
It never occurred to any of them that it might have been targeting them. Not that most airline travelers exhibit an intellect that rises above fogging a mirror.

@Becca: Damnit. Now I HAVE to make that sticker, just so I can put it on my laptop…

22nd April 2009 at 8:10 am | permalink |@Kavan Wolfe: Is there news on FOX? All I've ever noticed is noise.
22nd April 2009 at 7:57 pm | permalink |@Kavan: Yeah, it'd be interesting to see a journalistic equivalent of perjury laws, wouldn't it?
@Zeke: Fox News, Faux Noise, whichever works.

Okay agreed – you don't have to respect them yet – I'm sure a couple of police beatings will make them start to think though. If it doesn't there is no hope for them.
23rd April 2009 at 3:38 pm | permalink |They have those laws in some cases it's called slander and libel. Not illegal just bad.
23rd April 2009 at 3:57 pm | permalink |John Oliver did a bit for the Daily Show on the whole teabag protests which sort of summed it up for me. He attended a "tea party" in New Jersey and reported from the perspective of an offended Brit—being as the British really were a tyrannical government at the time of the original Boston Tea Party.
He asked on protester what did the U.S. government have which equated to the thumb screws commonly employed by the Brits. One guy responded that the IRS was our thumb screws. Oliver replied with, "You're talking about metaphorical thumb screws. We used actual thumbs and screws."

24th April 2009 at 7:21 pm | permalink |@ian: I can't help but wonder if the police will ever beat up a tea party? That would be interesting. lol
@Larry: Slander and libel, sure … but that's got nothing to do with Fox saying there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq … or people calling Obama a socialist or a Muslim. There are a lot of lies that fall outside slander and libel.
@Becca: hehehe. <3 The Daily Show.

Not that I dislike the man, he's one of the sharpest senators this state has ever had, but he desperately needs to learn when to shut up and listen to what the educated sector of his constituency is saying.
