Rolling Stone Magazine political writer Matt Taibbi explains the thunderously stupid mentality of the teabagger crowd alot better than I ever could. The following excerpt alone is worth the time to read the whole article:
"It took a good long while for news of the Teabag movement to penetrate the periphery of my consciousness — I kept hearing things about it and dismissing them, sure that the whole business was some kind of joke. Like a Daily Show invention, say. It pains me to say this as an American, but we are the only people on earth dumb enough to use a nationwide campaign of “teabag parties” as a form of mass protest, in the middle of a real economic crisis.
What’s next? The Great Dirty Sanchez-In of 2010? A Million Man Felch? (Insert Rusty Trombone joke here)."
Lol. I wonder if the teabaggers realize that there are a hell of alot more people laughing at them than crying with them. Being that they don't even seem to have a lucid understanding of the word "socialism", I suppose that being the object of mass ridicule wouldn't register with them as such.
I've seen some pictures this morning of the early teabag parties. The crowds appear to be comprised mostly of middle-aged white guys wearing "Obama is a Fascist" t-shirts covering distended beer bellys. That alone ought to tell you everything you need to know about this ridiculous movement and their equally ridiculous politcal whiner's convention.
