Teabaggers Descend on Washington!

The totally grass-roots, not sponsored by Fox News and Dick Armey Tea Party Movement is rallying in Washington as we speak!  It's tax day people!  Obama cut our taxes and we won't take it anymore!  Or something.  Whatever, we're really, really pissed!  And we're really, really white and old and male!  But it's not about race at all! It's about socialism!  Communism!  Nazism!  Name an Ism!  Spending is out of control!  This is absolutely not like the out of control spending from 2000 to 2008 when Congress passed massive spending programs with no idea how to pay for them and wrecked the economy.  That was different!  It just was!

The best part is, the teabaggers aren't alone.  They've been infiltrated.  An Oregon man named Jason Levin has devised Crash the Tea Party,  a plan to "take down the party from the inside."  Essentially, crashers will go to the rallies and marches and try to out-crazy the crazies.  They want to blend in and push the movement further and further from the mainstream. 

'"Our goal is that whenever a tea partier says 'Barack Obama was not born in America,' we're going be right right there next to them saying, 'yeah, in fact he wasn't born on Earth! He's an alien!' Levin explained. He said that by making the tea parties sound like a gathering of crazy people -- his group's goal -- the movement will lose its power."

Brilliant.  The picture above is from a gallery of fake teabaggers at yesterday's Boston Tea Party.  More pictures here.  Of course, you can't beat the real teabagger's signs like this one from Joe.My.God:

What is it with all the sexual imagery?
