Has anybody been reading about the Republicans holding national Tea Bag parties on tax day? I got invited to this event in Seattle (I live in Brooklyn) via Facebook and I'm ashamed to admit I let my passion overtake me and immediately posted on the event's wall that everybody attending was retarded and how it isn't necessarily "socialism" to want a more equitable tax distribution, better infrastructure, and to no longer be the only first world country without any healthcare to speak of. Needless to say, they were not impressed. I was immediately met with comments stating I was confused about the meanings of Capitalism and Socialism (I'm not) and pleas to study my Russian History (I have).
It seems like they're planning to gather in cities and towns all across the country and wave tea bags at each other in protest of... um... I'm not sure what exactly. Presumably they're protesting the stimulus package, but that's already passed. And I guess they're against "socialism"? It seems ironic to me to protest Socialism at nationally funded parks and public areas then. Are they just protesting Obama? Like, the man himself? I'm not sure. Anyway, nice Boston Tea Party reference!
I do enjoy that none of the fine fiscal conservatives seem to be aware of the popular definition of tea bagging, which always makes me think of Martha Plimpton as the fag hag bar tendress in Pecker.
"No teabagging!"
