Going by a script?

It’s called Teabagging, with only the non-sexual implications stated by Maddow.

I was truly curious if it was a holiday. Where did I say I found anything questionable? RIght – nowhere.

I didn’t say anything about hey why aren’t these people at work. You did.

Dave.

I used the word “insinuating.” Read my post again.

And we do have the lefties worried about November 2010. And for your information, that is not a holiday here in the US either. It is an election day.

And having to allude to certain sexual practices to discredit an opponent’s political beliefs marks those who do as trolls.

Staying on point and reading what is written is a step in the right direction. In more ways than one.

they will not take away our freedom of speech…

Sounds like they just did! Pwned!

Dave Rywall on April 15, 2009 at 2:43 PM

No, Dave. But since you are a lefty who posts here very frequently the better question is if you are on a permanent holiday.

These folks expressed their opinions in public, a constitutional right. For many these were their first “protests.”

Just as you have been doing throughout the year.

But somehow these first time protesters of the right have you insinuating that the day is a holiday as they are not attending to their normal duties today.

Come one. It’s OK for lefties to protest day in and day out (and to post on HotAir) but the FIRST time some conservatives do it you find it questionable?

It’s got your goat.

I’m really enjoying thinking about old righties being told for the first time what teabagging really means.

I have no problem whatsoever with the protests. I just think a great number of the protesters are appallingly underinformed about Obama’s tax plan and its implications. But then again, the unwashed masses shouldn’t be expected to know much.

As if McCain would have been any different.

Teabagging across the nation.

Why AP’s/Ed’s suggestion of a quarantined room for HA trolls should be acted on.

Debate rationally. And allow others’ their opinion, or don’t participate with those who respect the right of every one to have an opinion, or be relegated to the room for those FASCISTS who do not tolerate the rights of others to rationally debate.

Is tax day a national holiday in the U.S.?

Umm, bold print? 50 States… who da thunk it!

Our T.P. is at 12. It is 11:28 and there are over 200 outside now. It isn’t like Ed has anyone in Alaska for the T.P. which i am going to and the Gov may be speaking at.

Hmmm

Teabagging across the nation.

The Tax Day Tea Party site said tea parties will occur today in almost 800 cities across the country.

From the Google map and from comments I’ve read, it looks as if they will be in all 50 states.

There were around 300 there I would guess. This was a bigger crowd than I expected because the town is not that big and they were very enthusiastic. All ages were there as well as vets. People with flags and clever signs. American flags, various Don’t Tread on Me flags (including First U.S. Navy Jack) and a Marine Corps flag!

ACORN, et al., was not in attendance!

Signs I saw included one that said something like this:

I am a woman
I am a taxpayer
I am a wife
I am a mother
I am a daughter
I am not an extremist

There was lots and lots of honking as people drove by and lots of cheering. One guy drove by with his arm out of his sun roof waving a copy of Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny–the crowd went wild.

A camera man was there from an Orlando station. We’re in a different county and the station covers numerous counties. We’ll see if they put together a montage of tea parties across the area.

Over 5,000 showed up for the tea party in Madison.

BadgerHawk on April 15, 2009 at 2:08 PM

Surely you aren’t talking about Wisconsin.

We had a great time and lots of people were honking as they drove by. We only had one person fly us the bird.

Here’s a blog post from a guy that came and took our picture:
Tax Day Update

Tea Bag

Since I won’t be here to listen in to the show I wanted to drop a suggestion by you. I think it’s important to keep the tea party revolution going at the grassroots level and push back against the attempt to make is all about taxes rather than spending and expansion of government. So I and a bunch of my friends have decided to keep it going with a mailing campaign and it’s be great if you could spread the word.

It’s pretty simple. Purchase a package of precut postcards at the office supply. Use your printer to print this Tea Bag on the front (or one like it). Write your protest message on the back and put a 27 cent stamp on it. Then mail it to your preferred list of culprits!

My first bunch went out this morning so they have an April 15th date stamp. (I also mailed one to myself for a keepsake.. ;) )
