Rachel Maddow has a blast with the Teabaggers!

[Archae]

In her first segment tonight, she showed how bad the Tea Parties are doing.

The Oklahoma Tea Party no longer has a web site, and the head of that group was convicted of attempted blackmail of an Oklahoma state legislator.

The Ohio Tea Party head has moved out of state and the Tea Party has no activity.

And the Massachusetts Tea Party candidate for governor, the republicans claimed that candidate demanded a million dollars to drop out.
Now that candidate claims the republicans offered him the money.

1. That is not encouraging really.

They were eating their own. I was hoping they would continue down that path.

I am sure the money is drying up though. The PTB weren't really that happy with the shutdown.

2. Just for fun, I did a little searching on our moribund teabaggers around here...

and found little but a demonstration at a train station.

The locals have little to say or talk about, but they do link to what seems to be their national organization, or what's left of it, and I found myself at this little conversation:

I have just joined this site for the express purpose of airing my concerns on what happens to the money we donate to TPP. I just recently read on "Red state" in a comment section that our own Jenny Beth Martin has paid herself upward of $400,000 and has donated to conservative candidates something in the area of $60-70,000.
I am sure that most of you think like me. You do not donate your money to make "fat cats" out of our leadership but expect it will go toward electing conservative candidates around the nation. Can someone explain to me why I should continue to donate to TPP if this opinion from Red State is true? What does JBM say about it? I will NOT donate to this organization again if our money is used to line the pockets of JBM. I don't expect her to work for nothing, but I do expect the bulk of the donated funds to be used to help conservative candidates. Don't you?

The previous message is from a communist plant that Hillary Clinton sent to troll on this site. He's an affirmative action beneficiary. A lazy, striking teacher, over paid government worker, parasitic fireman sitting in his station all night and day making $150k for nothing, welfare or food stamp, Medicare/Social Security, student loan, FNMA, HAMP, social services, recipient who is bound and determined to keep his free stuff flowing. He hates taxpayers that don't like sending him free money.

And people think we argue around here...

3. Parasitic fireman making $150,000!

They're all insane!

5. Exactly.

The exposure of the Teabaggers' finances is causing them to self-destruct.

Like the groups at the Bundy ranch.

4. blackmail is pretty hardcore.

6. Fight!
