OK, there are too many idiots on this thread. Half of Americans are on welfare? And you wonder why people laugh at teabaggers?

I'm guessing maybe these same people had no idea what the person they voted for actually stood for. Just want they might GET from that person.

Try educating yourself instead of learning from the T.V.
You're right! Some of those signs were sexually explicit, talking about getting s****** and all!

No, I notice a lot of anti-Obama, anti-dem threads on these forums started by right wingers.

Oh right, I forgot. The "tea parties" are only to protest against tax HIKES on the rich, not against their tax FLIGHT.
Sorry, but we will be no more successful at "fencing in" the rich than we are at "fencing out" illegal immigrants.

Just got a report that we had about 100 at our local teabagging event.

Does anybody have a problem with my first estimate of 1000 people per event, average? That would be the average between the several large-city events where up to 10,000 attended, and the hundreds of small cities like mine, where much smaller numbers were the rule.

Your $13 will go quickly once he finishes taxing gas, electricity etc.

That's precisely what it was, I wonder how many billions the GOP spent on organizing this farce ....

I didn't see any sexually explicit signs. I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or serious.

Tea bagging and a Tea Party are not similar nor should they be confused. Call it/them what you like but, the fact of the matter is people are not happy and they have the RIGHT to freedom of speech. Remember that folks-that is actually a right.

While some think "free money", stimulus packages and bailouts are rights and have the audacity to laugh at those who protest the CRAZY, unchecked spending in this country explains a lot.

Yeah, that's the ticket, y'all all jealous cause the day is not about you, not about the left, not about Obama in a positive way, huh? Oh! The vanity!
Left wingers need somewhere to vent their hatred, and what better way to do so than against right wingers?

I doubt, for as close as many of these events were to each other, that there would be 1,000 people per rally. That is a very generous estimation. But in all honesty, what did you expect for a workday, where most taxpayers are... well.. at work? I live in a medium sized town that hosted a tea party, and the turnout was a stellar 150 or so.

To paraphrase that great song by Carly Simon,

You're so vain, you probably think this party is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this party is about you
Don't you? don't you?
