Actress: Tea Protestors Were Redneck Racists
By Joshua Chaney - Politics DailyDon't like high taxes or runaway government spending? You're a dumb, redneck racist.That's essentially what liberal actor Janeane Garofalo said on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night. She was prompted to give a response on the Tea Party protests after Olbermann ranted on about the protesters "seething with hate." This from Olbermann, who essentially built an entire show around an hour-long, hate-filled rant about then president George W. Bush.Olbermann still rants about Bush in a daily segment each on his show - 100 days after Bush left office, mind you. At what point is he ...
Briefing: White House Press Secretary Jokes About Conservative Tea Parties
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAt today's White House press briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was generally dismissive of the "Tea Party Movement," re-dubbed "Tea-bagging" by Fox News' Griff Jenkins and flogged by MSNBC. He also tossed out a strange joke:(Transcript)Q Thanks, Robert. Tomorrow is tax day and a number of conservative groups are organizing these so called "tea parties" across the country; there are going to be grassroots uprising revolts against the administration's policies so far. Is the President aware that these are going on and do you have any reaction to this? MR. GIBBS: I don't know if the ...
MSNBC's David Schuster Explains 'Teabagging'
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyMSNBC's David Schuster, sitting in for Keith Olbermann, explains to the world the background and intricacies of the Tea Bag Movement. One thing is crystal clear - if you do not understand why your anti-tax demonstration utilizing dunkable Lipton tea as an analogy to the Boston Tea Party should NOT be called "teabagging" and why you not refer to yourself as a "teabagger", watch below.If you don't get what Schuster is saying, just take our word for it and call yourselves something else. Do yourself, your friends and your children that small favor. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, ...
At the Tea-Baggers' Meeting: Brainwashing Devices Are Coming
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI was all set to write about how the media's mockery of the "Tea Party Movement," re-dubbed "Tea-bagging" by the sexual-slang-ignorant Griff Jenkins, is threatening to turn the sac-obsessed revolutionaries into sympathetic figures. I mean, we get it. Tea-bagging has 2 meanings. Actually, it really only has one.But then, Political Machine trollbuster Cube sent me this video, which is too good to pass up. I'll scold my fellows tomorrow. Today, we feast on tea-baggy awesomeness. The fun really starts at about the 3:30 mark.I guess the guy did't get the memo, or he's also accusing ...
Tea Party Movement Spawns 6 Minute Maddow 'Tea-Bagging' Segment
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyMan, did I ever see this coming (no pun intended (ok, pun intended)). I tried like hell to warn my conservative brethren, but the partisan divide prevented them from paying heed to a liberal. I speak of the Tea Party movement, essentially born of a rant by CNBC's Rick Santelli that had all the populist resonance of a Marie Antoinette serving suggestion. Sure, we all know about the Boston Tea Party, which seems pretty badass when you see those old-timey lithographs of ax-wielding colonials having at those crates of leafy goodness.As a rallying cry, though, "Let's have a tea party!" lacks a ...
Conservatives Tea-Bagging Capitol Hill
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI'm not sure if you've heard of the Tea Party Movement, but as near as I can tell, it involves conservatives sitting down at tiny tables with their Paddington Bears, Strawberry Shortcake dolls, and the ambitious ones load their Teddy Ruxpins with Rick Santelli's anti-homeowner rant, and they sip a bitter concoction from tiny cups. Or it could be some kind of protest against "out-of-control government spending" that just took 8 years for them to notice. In any case, these bonneted freedom sippers have been causing headaches for security personnel on Capitol Hill, reports Politico: ...
Hokie Fans Thinks Paulus Likes Lipton
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsGreg Paulus is always a bit of a goat in terms of national hatred (see: "Duke Sucks" having more entries at Mister I than "Greives Vasquez".) Of course, he's following a long line of Duke point guards who have experienced the same thing. Although I don't know if they all heard "Tea-Bag-Paul-Us!" as the announcers in the following clip seemed to imply while the Virginia Tech fans mocked the Duke point guard during some free throw attempts."Tea-Bag-Paul-Us" from Will Brinson on Vimeo. ...
