You’re soaking in it

If a better teabagging picture than this one surfaces today, it’s going to be a very good day.

p.s. If you see any good pics, reports, or vids, please post the URLs in the down below.

UPDATE: Digby has video (and a transcript) of CNN’s Susan Roesgen reporting from a very angry Chicago teabagging party. Oh my. Sample chatter:

Roesgen: Wait, why do you say he’s a fascist? He’s the president of the United States.
Dittohead freak: I think he’s a fascist.
Roesgen, Do you realize how offensive that is?
DF: I think he’s a fascist
Roesgen: Why?
DF: Because he is. He’s a fascist.
Roesgen: Why can you say that?
DF: Because the real pirates are in the white house and the senate and in the congress. We need one term limits for all these elected politicians.
Roesgen: Why be so hard on the president of the United States with such an offensive message?
DF: Because he is. He’s a fascist.

The one in NYC doesn’t start until 7. Since it’s at night (not the best for pics) and no A-list loons like Glenn Beck are going to be there, I’m going to take a pass. I despise Gingrich, but he doesn’t deliver the kinda crazy that would get me to schlep my way out there.

I can’t believe that the DC rally got shut down for lack of permits. Who did they have organizing this—Darragh Murphy?

Here’s your average teabagger:

Who do you think made that hat? That has “PUMA” all over it.

Dude wouldn’t know a fascist if one teabagged him.

Yikes. Looks like we’ve found FOX News’ newest host. Glenn Beck’s really going to have to up his game.

Well, maybe the tea baggers can join up with the save the redneck folks ... I just received this email in my work inbox ..

New grassroots movement celebrates the positives of Redneck culture while addressing social issues
Los Angeles - April 14, 2009 - Save the Redneck is a new grassroots movement giving a voice to the many hard working Rednecks who make America the greatest country in the world.
The term “redneck” has a long and illustrious history although today many people think of it as a pejorative description for rural people. Today’ Rednecks are farmers, miners, and cowboys, but are just as likely to be pilots, postal workers, teachers or musicians, in other words, hard working individuals who uphold the values of independence, honesty, common sense, hospitality and family.
Save the Redneck is about being truthful and real. Redneck culture has it challenges with poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, racism and violence. These are real problems that any culture with an oppressive history has to deal with when empowering itself. http://www.savetheredneck.com was started by a group of friends to provide a center point for the movement, a place of historical knowledge, and a venue for discussion. “We are not blind to the issues, and we refuse to be stereotyped by them,” says Crit Callebs, co-founder of the movement.
Save the Redneck is in alignment with the ideology of cultural preservation. “We are proud of our culture and do not want to see it stereotyped or attacked. We are striving to bring awareness to, and change, this unacceptable behavior,” says Callebs, “Our aim is to set the record straight and celebrate everything positive about being a redneck.”
About Save the Redneck
http://www.savetheredneck.com is a celebration of all the positive aspects of being Redneck. Be clear that we are about our stated values and reject anything, whether inside our community or outside, that is not positive or respectful to any human being. This site is not affiliated with any particular religion, race, political party or particular area of the country. We are simply a group up people with similar values who really love our heritage and lifestyle.

Humboldt, that’s a parody right?

Comment by Donna on 04/15/09 at 04:25 PM

Donna, I called in my lone fellow lefty here and we decided it was legit. So make up your own mind.

Comment by HumboldtBlue on 04/15/09 at 04:28 PM

Humboldt, that’s a parody right?

I can’t quite tell. The thing that threw me for a loop is the “famous rednecks” they list are Sandra Bullock, Johnny Depp and George Clooney. That don’t smell right, y’all.

Comment by Kevin K. on 04/15/09 at 04:29 PM

Depp and Clooney, possibly, but SAndra Bullock grew up in a solidly upper middle-class household in the DC suburbs.

Then again, she is married to Jessie James, so….

Comment by Tom65 on 04/15/09 at 04:32 PM

I think that little interview captures the mentality of the people they’re using to fill out crowds, such as they are, perfectly. Very Palinesque. I’m so sad that I have to be out a lot of this evening. I’ll miss much of the teabagging coverage.

Comment by zenyenta on 04/15/09 at 04:40 PM

Who’s a fascist?

Yes.

What?

A socialist.

Who’s a socialist?

No, Who’s a fascist.

I don’t know!

Communist.

I just called Lorraine and asked her if she was playing me for a fool ... she said the site is dead serious, is not a parody and asked if I wanted her to call me back on a landline with better reception ... I declined the last ....

Why do plants need Brawndo?

Because it has electrolytes

But why do they need it?

Because it’s what plants need.

Comment by Tom65 on 04/15/09 at 05:30 PM

When Fox ran that clip they edited out the poster of Hitler Obama.

Comment by justlen on 04/15/09 at 05:48 PM

If they find out that Sandra Bullock’s mother was a German opera singer, they will probably pull her Redneck Lifetime membership. OTOH, that might help her get the Fascist Discount at Applebee’s—where she can strike up conversation with David Brooks!
