Tea Bagger Blog Fail of the Day
By Bob Cesca Monday Mar 23, 2009 12:00pm
If you recall, wingnuts were mailing tea bags to various public officials, but, ironically enough, post-9/11 security measures were preventing the tea bags from getting to their intended recipients. So now there's an effort to send photos of tea bags instead.

A far-right blog called "ActaNonVerba: Action, Not Words!" goes one step further, advising readers to send tea bag labels as well as photos. But notice the "here" link in the screen cap below.



The "here" link points to a Google image search for "tea bag." Here's the image results page the tea-bagger is linking. First page, first image results:



Yep. That'd be a photograph of a dog tea-bagging a cat on a park bench. Now, I assume the tea-bagger doesn't want us to send the dog-on-cat tea bag photo to our elected officials. I assume.

1. Why do these wingnuts write so poorly?
There are about a dozen grammatical errors in that 'blog', starting with 'Leader's'.

They prove their stupidity with every word, either out of their mouths or their fingers.

15. Right, and those ignorant conservatives probably WOULD spell it "possesive" instead of "possessive".
:evilgrin:

17. Or lack of knowledge about the Boston Tea Party
The people behind the tea party were basically smugglers who objected to the government rules on tea imports and who committed acts of terror against people who disagreed with them -- attacking their businesses and even their homes.

They weren't the saints that you learned about in grammar school.

19. lol! Well, then I'll add "their lack of research skills and understanding of history" to my
previous observation!

20. I was educated at a school in a red state and I don't write like that.
It's more their upbringing than the fact that they live in a red state.

I also went to public schools - in a red state.

Please, let's not get all red state/blue state about this crap. They're just stupid, but some of us in red states absolutely are not.

21. I am not generalizing, but the worst schools in the USA are in red states.
That's because of the way the tax game is played. Red states don't want to pay for education--individual towns might, but the states don't kick in like they should. The rich send their kids to private schools.

There are exceptions (always are) but the red states do cluster around the bottom, by and large.

The states that have "moved up" have also made the decision to invest in their schools. The states that have "moved down" have also made the decision to cut funding to schools. IMO, TX wouldn't be doing as "well" as they pretend to if they didn't force all of the "dumb kids" to drop out, so that they could push their standardized test scores up: http://www.alec.org/am/pdf/2007_ALEC_Education_Report_Card.pdf

2. Hopefully...
...most of them have the Safe Search set to "Off".

On the education side, at least now they have a name for their fave political stance.

3. Conservatives sharing their ignorance again
The Boston Tea party was about taxation without representation. The american people were well represented in elections in November. Tantamount to reagan using "Born in the USA" as if it were some patriotic anthem; and that brilliant conservative scholar glen beck wanting to get his klan together to "surround" us.

14. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with speaking up to representatives about pork. n/t
:shrug:

Although the Obama logo on the "tea boxes" is lame.
