Teabaggers step things up…
Yessirre. That whole teabagging thing TOTALLY showed those spendthrift tax-and-spend bastards what was what, didn't it? So, rather than let their sleeper cells go back to napping, Fox News continues to rile up the ignorant masses for the seeming sole purpose of entertaining those of us with brains and a little education…
Teabagging alone isn't enough! Behold, to the right, the teabaggers' new event poster. THEY'RE FISTING NOW TOO!!! That's goddamn right! That "teabag" thing was just getting a little too gay, wasn't it? REAL men use their FISTS!!!11!1!!
Once again, a helpful reminder: Obama's proposed tax rates will be lower than Clinton's… AND Reagan's. Reagan. He's one of your guys, you morons. Y'know. Revitalized the American Conservative "movement"? Mr. Republican/right-wing wholesome all-American icon? For most of Reagan's two terms in office, the top marginal tax rate was FIFTY PERCENT. Obama's top tax rate will be under 40%
And while we're at it, let's just take a moment to say something about all this "tax and spend" bullshit the right wing assholes who demolished the economy keep trying to throw at the Democrats: The reason our economy is self-destructing is not because of TAXING and spending. Wall Street is imploding because of spending money that wasn't actually there. CHARGE & SPEND is the bad thing.
Like BushCo. cutting taxes while pumping gov't spending through the roof. If you want to cut taxes, you CAN'T simultaneously invent & fund new domestic spying agencies and launch two brand spanking new wars, and have the numbers balance.
Taxing when you spend means the gov't is actually trying to bring in revenue to help cover expenditures. That is called "fiscal responsibility." Bitching about it like it some new socialist horror when taxes were ~20% higher 25+ years ago under a Republican president you probably loved is called "being an ignorant, hypocritical, selfish Fox News sycophant"*.
Thanks to Teablogging.net for the timely fisting update!
*Go look sycophant up in a dictionary before commenting on this post.
You really have to wonder whether these people are really that clueless and utterly unlucky that they happen to pick such wholesome images, or whether one of the organisers doesn't care about the 'cause', merely wanting to provide entertainment for those of us on the intertubes…

Unbelievable.
28th April 2009 at 10:03 pm | permalink |now now now, no need to be so vulgar. we all have our own opinions about how things should be run. it just so happens mine is the exact opposite of yours and that your facts arn't exactly straight, but its alright.
1st May 2009 at 9:03 pm | permalink |They are not utterly clueless. They rely on America to be utterly clueless. The point isn't to tell the truth it is to get into power and stay there.
1st May 2009 at 9:04 pm | permalink |The economy wasn't as shitty as it is now when Clinton and Reagan raised taxes…moron.
1st May 2009 at 9:08 pm | permalink |Utterly clueless? I think just plain gullible. People really believe that if it was reported on a "news show", that it must be true. After all, "they" aren't allowed to lie.
5th May 2009 at 6:58 pm | permalink |Yeah, now that you mention it, clueless is pretty accurate
@teabagsmagee: No need to be so vulgar, but really … look at the name of the site. What do you expect?!
@lvleph: True enough. Sad, but very true.
@Your mom: Um, Reagan cut taxes… and the folks who are having their taxes raised under Obama aren't the ones who're having financial problems… moron.
@Zeke: I totally want to see some kind of perjury laws put in place for any show/website/publication that calls itself "news". Fucking FOX would implode.
