Teabaggers being scammed

[jmowreader]

One of the papers I print has an article in tomorrow's edition that says someone is calling Tea Party members, claiming to be a national Tea Party Organization, and asking for contributions.

There IS no national Tea Party organization, and the people asking for the money are believed to be confidence men.

I realize no one here would donate to the tea party (some of us would donate to a charity seeking to get rid of it, but that's different), but many of us have teabagger relatives so...use as necessary.

1. Ha ha if I did have teabagger relatives...

I would try to find this organization and point them to it.

2. The "Tea Party" has been a scam from day one.

The original Boston Tea Party was a drunken party.

Today's Tea Party is funded by super-rich robber barons like the Koch Brothers, run by dirty-trick political operatives, and promoted by fake "news" agencies like Faux "news."

Even their key statements, ("We're taxed enough already!&quot is false, taxes are lower than they were before the 1920's.

3. Not surprised!

The baggers I know seem to be virtually incapable of independent or critical thought. Once another bagger tells them something crazy- anything, they believe it.

4. I have a few Bagger family members and...

..a few business related contacts, who, if they gave their $$$ to a "legitimate" Bagger group, I would be unhappy.

If, on the other hand, their Bagger tithes went to scammers, I would be happy that the $$$ they spent for "legit" Bagger causes went into the pockets of greedy con men, other than the "official" Baggers' con-men pockets.

So, in other words, I wouldn't worry about it...your Bagger friends/relatives were gonna blow their $$$ anyway.

6. Grifters grifting the feeble-minded.

Must be one of those Anglo-Saxon things.

7. They should appreciate it

Their scammers are just savvy businessmen who found a way to make money, right? Nothing wrong with that. They might even be job creators!

8. The hell with 'em

Never interrupt your enemy when he makes a mistake.

9. I might just start one myself.

I'm sick of not working. Might as well take advantage of these idiots. I won't even feel bad.

10. Good

That's less money they have to donate to candidates.

11. As the great philosopher W.C Fields said:

"You can't cheat an honest man."

12. Heck, why don't WE get donations from the Tea People? Just call and say we're the Tea Party.

Then take the money, buy some (medicinal) - ahem - tea and have a party!

If there's money left over we can donate it to a Democratic organization.

14. call it the Robin Hood Foundation

they don't know who he is either.

[Kablooie]

15. Or call it the Riding Hood foundation. They know who she is.

[TeamPooka]

16. they think she was asking for it walking through the woods wearing red....

ahh the twisty path the GOP minds goes down....

13. Live by the lie, get fleeced by the lie. A fool and his money are soon parted.

I am against anyone preying on others like this
but it couldn't happen to a more deserving group of people.
Live by the lie, get fleeced by the lie.
