Remember the Tax Day Tea(bagging) Parties? Pretty much an epic fail in terms of the actual turnout versus the millions Fox News predicted, but a booming success in that it brought the word “teabagging” into the mainstream lexicon. As conservatives admonished each other to 
they provided a ton of comedy gold for Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and everyone else on this side of the political divide.
Teabaggers resented the mockery, so in anticipation of the July 4th tea parties, they were anxious to supplant the teabag image with something, anything, else. To this end, conservative talk radio yakker Phil Valentine launched a campaign that was a different riff on the idea of sending teabags to members of Congress: instead, Valentine asks his listeners to send balls to senators, in a campaign he calls “Give the Senate Some Balls”. That’s right, balls. And why not? After being relentlessly ridiculed for “teabagging”, replacing that image with the concept of people sending senators their balls makes perfect sense.
Perfect sense if you’re a “moran”.
And that’s even with Fux “News” inflating the turnout figures.
JAB – It was a valiant effort on the part of FOX, especially sending out some of their biggest names to take part in these events, and it still bombed. From what I’ve read (and there isn’t much), Saturday’s were even worse. So much for the tea party revolution.
I’m all for grassroots uprisings and all that, but these tea parties are nothing but Obama hate-fests with a lot of sub-normal IQ’d people (too stupid to know that Obama’s giving them tax cuts) wandering around with weird hats and goofy signs and random directionless anger. They shouldn’t call them “tea parties”, they should call them “angry that a black man is in the white house parties”.
Yes, he’s taking away a good job from white men, isn’t he?
Idiots.
JAB – Sadly, from what I could gather from the pictures I saw of the first teabagging party, that seemed to be the one common thread between all these aimlessly angry people. A lot of white people feeling persecuted because there’s a black guy in “their” white house.
