“The Republicans decided to model a protest activity modeled on the Boston Tea Party and throw tea into various bodies of water. That’s not a bad idea.”

WRONG… as can be seen in “GOP Chairman Michael Steele Denies Tea Party Claim” at:

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2009/4/10/gop-chairman-michael-steele-denies-tea-party-claim.html

Why can’t it be just a protest about taxes – as all the web news shows – and not some sophomoric double entendre designed to tittilate?

Collectivism is slavery…

Because keeping the People emotionally invested in the propaganda guarantees that no serious, intelligent discussion will come of it.

Yeah, they’ll tie it to something sexual so you think about that instead of the pounding your wallet is taking, basically making a tax protest a laughing stock instead of a serious protest.

Really they should be throwing shipping containers full of crap from China and headed to Wal-mart into the sea to make a real impact.

A great idea woody188! Shipping containers dumped off docks via forklifts loaded with “Beanie Baby” class crap from China would send a message. This whole tea/teabag thing is kinda dated if you know what I mean. Americans for the most part are coffee drinkers with tea coming in second or maybe even less as a novelty beverage.

I’ve heard rumors that a number of those shipping containers from the Far East are loaded with Chicom made AK47′s as well as drugs; ie., heroin. Our dock security isn’t anywhere near the level of our border crossings which isn’t all that top notch either.

Yep, China is such a great “trading partner”…NOT! : |

So, instead of buying useless crap from China with which to pollute our harbors, we are going to buy tea, something that actually has some utilitarian value, from China (which produces more tea than any other country) and throw THAT into our harbors. I’m pretty sure that tea is not a good thing for ocean life.

This make so much sense that I am not even going to wonder whether clever tea salesmen from China are behind this silliness.

Ha. Tea is about the only thing I buy from China. Okay, here’s the plug for Uncle Lee’s Organic Green Tea. Drink it daily.

There's a OpEd about the tea parties by Paul Krugman in the New York Times today.

Here's an excerpt:

One way to get a good sense of the current state of the G.O.P., and also to see how little has really changed, is to look at the “tea parties” that have been held in a number of places already, and will be held across the country on Wednesday. These parties — antitaxation demonstrations that are supposed to evoke the memory of the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution — have been the subject of considerable mockery, and rightly so.

And here all along I thought “teabagging” was the sensation of having one’s testicles rest or bounce on and off another’s chin during the act of oral s*x! Once again CHB re-educates me! Thank you, Hal!

Well done Hal… good explanation.
The political part is most interesting. Like, who wants to offend Aunt Sally?
The Maddow thing is really interesting… The show is almost always filled with double entendres, that sail over the heads of even the MSNBC editors… (my guess).

this too, shall pass
