IT’S RAW DEMOCRACY! RAW, FLESH-BURNING DEMOCRACY: “BLAIRS – In a move sure to spark controversy, the Danville TEA Party will close their ‘Fired Up for Freedom’ rally by burning Rep. Tom Perriello and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in effigy in response to the passage of landmark healthcare legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives.” The Danville TEAParty — get the spelling right, local newspaper! — has a delightful forum on its website, too, if you feel like stopping by… [WPCVA via ThinkProgress, Danville TEAParty]

Some please take a crap on Nigel Coleman’s front doorstep — not in effigy, but in reality.

Ever get the idea that Teabaggers are really just kids in big person pants?

Sounds like someone needs a Whaaaahmbulance.

“Obamacare is NOT about health care. It is about whether Congress can tell an individual what he can spend his money on. If Congress can tell us what we must spend our money on, then they can tell us what we may NOT spend our money on, such as anti-Obama signs, Cold Stone Creamery, and ammunition.”

Who knew Obama has it in for Cold Stone Creamery?

burning public figures in effigy has a long and honorable history. Rather than bitch about it, let’s have a burn-in. They can bring their Tom Periello, and we’ll bring our Rush Limbaugh effigy. If it is a true representation of limbaugh, it could burn for days…

FIRST THEY CAME FOR OUR HEQLTH CAREZ, THN THEY CAME FR OUR ICE CREAM, THEN we got slender and healthy and less angry about everything and started to think clearly, and we were pretty much done for.

One of these days ,if they are not careful ,the right wing is just going to go too far with their criticisms and not be taken seriously any more. Word to the wise!

How come none of the ‘baggers have figured out how cool a nighttime torchlit march looks?

RoscoePColtraine November 13, 2009 at 3:44 pm

What’s a Teap Arty? Some new-fangled kind of hollywood award?

JMP November 13, 2009 at 3:44 pm

They’ve got a delightful forum that hasn’t seen activity in four days, and appears to get about one post a week or so. With teabaggers this active, Pelosi and Perriello had better be very afraid.

queeraselvis v 2.0 November 13, 2009 at 3:46 pm

This, from DP Teabagger Dennis Taylor: “The ‘gubment’ controls almost everything from the car we drive to the type of toilet we can buy.”

They can take away our shit, but they can’t take away our PLUMBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING.

SayItWithWookies November 13, 2009 at 3:46 pm

From the looks of their forum, the DanvilleTEAParty consists of about three people, each of whom posts one topic a fortnight. And they’re upset because they’re no longer represented by that neanderthal Virgil Goode. Hell, if I burned a figure in effigy each time the candidate I voted for lost an election, we’d all be up to our knees in the Atlantic Ocean by now.

Proof positive, once again, how the Tea Klux Klan desperately wants to lead us boldly into the 19th Century.

Who wants to bet me that the number of black people at this rally will be less than the number of points in Caribou Barbie’s IQ?

Balls! November 13, 2009 at 3:49 pm

[re=458141]bureaucrap[/re]: Maybe you could craft your Rush effigy out of old tires for a more realistic greasy black smoke burn experience.

CycloneArmageddon November 13, 2009 at 3:51 pm

Whoa! Steady on there tea-bagger. From the forum:

“They WANT it to cover illegals, because right there are 20 MILLION new Obamunist voters that they have bribed to vote for them with YOUR money, in addition to countless non-illegals who are supporting the illegals and who will also vote for the Obamunists.”

I guess it’s hard to post when your mouth is full.

JMP November 13, 2009 at 3:51 pm

[re=458135]Terry[/re]: Probably what they’re really upset about is that the gov’mint won’t let them spend their money on crystal meth.

RoscoePColtraine November 13, 2009 at 3:53 pm

Also, the website refers to the group as a T.E.A. Party, but I’ll be goddamned if I can find where they spell out the ab-ree-vee-ay-shuns.

Extemporanus November 13, 2009 at 4:03 pm

[re=458135]Terry[/re]: The Stone Cold Creamery on Sycamore Street is Danville’s cummunity center, city hall, and primary place of worship, all rolled into one. It is literally their sticky-floored Alamo, and the place where most of them will make their last stand, and then die.

[re=458170]memzilla[/re]: Speaking of which:

The only black Teap Artier in Florida—crusading anti-drug city council candidate Ezell Harris—was just arrested for drug possession.

Even more shocking is that he was also charged with illegal two-way radio usage—or, as the kids call it, “rapping”. (Seriously.)

Extemporanus November 13, 2009 at 4:11 pm

[re=458185]Extemporanus[/re]: Yeah, I said “cummunity center”—it’s slang for “creamery”.

Danville where? Any Danville? Every Danville? Because there is a Danville down the road we call Dantucky and they would be all over this shit.

Bruno November 13, 2009 at 4:19 pm

Yes, let them burn effigies of public figures, but God help you if you even think of burning a flag or let it touch the ground. WE NEED A FLAG BURNING AMENDMENT NOW, not this boring crap about healthcare, whatever that is

[re=458147]nbawriter[/re]: I’m pretty sure ‘Stone Cold Creamery’ is actually their code-word for child pornography.

lawrenceofthedesert November 13, 2009 at 4:36 pm

Let’s not swat a mosquito with a 12-gauge here; have you noticed that almost nobody is posting to the Danville site? That made my day. Repeating the same absurd lies over and over to each other has begun to lose its luster. Most professional pols aren’t encouraging it any more, because it backfired hugely for them. The wingnut-owned papers are bleeding money; radio has gone the way of high-button shoes (as has that idiom!), and the vast emptiness of GOP thought is suddenly in sharp focus. It has gotten so bad that they no longer can agree on which lies they espouse. It’s about time!

S.Luggo November 13, 2009 at 4:58 pm

[re=458157]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: I could be misreading them, but I detect an element of the impostrous in your posts to the website.

BTW: Please don’t add any photos to the website’s montage. And don’t pile on the rabbit.

The video at Think Progress is so sad. You can almost see this poor Perriello go from rosy-cheeked idealistic freshman ready to engage in a debate with the teabaggers to a beaten-down and irritated man looking for an escape from these angry hicks.

RoscoePColtraine November 13, 2009 at 6:22 pm

[re=458243]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: I know it’s overkill, Lawrence. But hey, if one, just one, fat, stupid old teabagger reads my event post and drops dead of a coronary, wouldn’t it have been worth it?

QueenOfTheDamned November 13, 2009 at 7:51 pm

Man, that is one bunch of boring-ass photos on the T.E.A Party webpage. Maybe they just contain secret teabagger messages I don’t understand. But the Members list is a hoot! Maynard R. and Ms. McGee obviously love freedom.

LowerdPeninsula November 14, 2009 at 1:05 am

[re=458143]AbstinenceOnly Ed[/re]: That is the Teabaggers greatest fear; that is, that they will be educated enough to engage in critical thinking, which would render their entire movement null and void.

Some liberal should corner the Pelosi effigy market to make this all extra ironic and shit. The company could be named “Flaming San Francisco Liberal & Co./Shit.”

[re=458157]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: As a member in good standing of this fine organization, perhaps you can tell us: What does T.E.A. stand for? (Touchy Ego Always? Tard Energy Angst? Torch Every Albino? Tongue Eddie’s Anus?) Seriously, I couldn’t find that info on their website. Give a rube a break.
