Teabag Mania – The Aftermath

After it was all over, after the tea, after the bagging, after the scooter carts retreated back to their hotels and buses, what did the 9-12 March accomplish?

Nothing!

But besides all of that, there were plenty of LOLs in the aftermath.

The infighting over the amount of protestors (despite the 2 million/1.6 million claimed by Michele Malkin and their ilk, it was 60-70,000) was entertaining to watch, as all media that didn’t claim there was eleventy-billion protestors was claimed to be leftly biased to the extreme. Even when Bill O’Reilly said there was only 70,000, he became condemned by the teabaggers. Resistnet is still releasing press releases claiming 1.7 million. They just can’t stop lying!

For a great breakdown on DC Metro ridership during the events and how there was in no way anywhere near the amount of teabaggers the Wingnuts are claiming, see here.

Here is a nice visual of the crowd breakdown and how a bunch of Black Family Reunion folks are being counted by teabaggers as their own:

That article will make this extra hilarious: Tea Party Protesters Protest D.C. Metro Service

Protesters who attended Saturday’s Tea Party rally in Washington found a new reason to be upset: Apparently they are unhappy with the level of service provided by the subway system.

Rep. Kevin Brady called for a government investigation into whether the government-run subway system adequately prepared for this weekend’s rally to protest government spending and government services.

Seriously.

The Texas Republican on Wednesday released a letter he sent to Washington’s Metro system complaining that the taxpayer-funded subway system was unable to properly transport protesters to the rally to protest government spending and expansion.

Remember all those signs screaming about socialism? It is impossible to make this crap up. I try, I try so hard to come up with ridiculous scenarios, and Wingnuts top them in reality every day.

skiplogic covered the response from FoxNews, who claimed that all other media ignored the issue, prompting responses from the other media outlets where they rolled the tape of the stories they did and called FoxNews liars. He also posted the video of the FoxNews producer egging on the crowd. Grassroots, indeed.

So now that it is over, what will happen when the teabaggers figure out they have accomplished nothing but increasing TarsTarkas.NET traffic a bit? Next up is the 2010 elections, and a dozen or so websites about flipping houses. We will get to that mess in a bit. Just remember, Wingnuts, if you try to flip houses, don’t be surprised when the housing market crashes on you. And remember the Knights Templar.

Teabag Mania 13 – He had a dream, we got a nightmare!

Teabagging is a national pastime for these teabagging fools. Darn jerks planned their stupid rally to coincide on when I was going to head off for a quick break, thus forcing me to wait a week to finish the teabagging reports. I lumped most of the rest of the pictures in this update, although I might have enough for a part 14. Will these dastardly baggers of tea return to plunk their coinpurses down wherever they please once again? Stay tuned and find out!

Yeah, right..

Teabaggers. They suck.

Wingnut Web: Coming off the Teabaggin' Wagon!

So apparently there was some quaint kind of Tea Party in Washington DC a few weeks ago, an event that this website really didn’t bother to cover much of at all (according to FOX News). In the aftermath of the whole shebang there was much speculation about just how many people attended the event. Reports from media outlets put the number of people taking part in the protest at around 50,000-60,000, a pretty good sized number for any kind of political action. Other commentators, Michelle Malkin in particular (feeding off the sugar-high of edgy conservative placards and some good ole down-home ranting and raving), pulled some obscenely high figure out of her ass and attributed that ABC News reported 1.5 million people were at the 9/12 march.

First some simple math:

1,500,000/60,000 = 25. Even if you stand by the high end of what the media reported the attendance of the march was, Malkin’s idiotic estimation exceeds the media’s reports by TWENTY FIVE TIMES that. Sure it’s hard to keep track of what actual numbers amount to in real life when people throw around the terms million and billion interchangeably, but seriously I thought Michelle Malkin had been around the block enough to know what 1.5 million people looks like (I guess I was as wrong as she is). Not one to be misrepresented by the MAINSTREAM MEDIA, Teabaggers are now touting the figure of 1.7 million people at the march, a number which I’m still waiting for a single person to point to a verified source for. Even better, our last bastion of fair and balanced (and I think we should add the worth “truthful”) reporting from none other than FOX News ran a full page advertisement in many major newspapers the day after the 9/12 march, echoing the same sentiment many protester’s signs pointed out:


FOX Ad

A delicious example of idiots imitating idiots. Like most of the reporting on FOX News, this package had no actual reporting behind it since, ya know, CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CBS did actually cover the protest (like there was anything else of note happening that weekend):

Good Morning America on 9/12 Protests (ABC)

I could go on and on with these. Of course FOX News was there at the protest too, but their brand of “reporting” took on a different tone:

Jayamalini is totally snaky!

Jayamalini, who played the evil Wonder Woman/Valkyrie Miss Lee in the Telugu Superman film here shows off her snake dancing skills in a photo from one of the 300 films she starred it. I have no clue which film it was, or if it is snake girl (naga) themed. If you know, please drop a comment! Otherwise, enjoy the photo of a girl dressed as a snake women and dancing.

Teabag Mania 12 – Oh, ya know, just some more 9/12 photos

Over on Flickr you can check out MeetTheCrazies’ photoset with more pictures 9/12 march than you can shake a Bible at. Here are some choice picks from the set (and hopefully not any duplicates of the tons of pictures Tars has already thrown up here).

Sarah Palin couldn’t be here today, so she has paid this small Honduran man to come to the protest and hold a big sign with her picture on it.
