Tea party songstress Joyce Shaffer helps us all appreciate Chuggo's genius even more.

Last edited Thu Jul 12, 2012, 06:29 PM - Edit history (1)

Her song: "Takin' Back Our Country"

(Warning: Severe unintentional hilarity will occur)

I especially enjoyed the four person tea-party protest (very true to life).....in the middle of a FARM.

Seriously, who holds a tea party protest in the middle of the farm?

Oh, wait....George Orwell, Animal Farm.....I get it now. Damn Leninist pigs!

My kids still play hopscotch and they have ribbons at the fair. My wife won one last year but I think it was commie red not blue.... maybe that's what she meant?

after 30 seconds, leaned on the old tractor and started chattin' about the crops or the weather so you have to take away style and enthusiasm points.

That's gotta be something. You die in battle, and your eternal resting spot is desecrated by some wild eyed teabagger with a flagshirt fetish who can't sing on key.

I challenge that assertion with her tearjerker "Tuscon" which--I shit you not--was inspired by the Gabrielle Gifford's shooting. I have no idea what the lyrics have to do with anything.

Yes, she went there.

All I know is if it was meant to be call for unity after the Giffords shooting, starting off your video with the words "9% Unemployment" superimposed over 15 year old stock footage video clips of "angry family arguing" might not be the best way to do it.

The four old dude teabaggers were hilarious. At the beginning they actually managed to hold up their signs. By the time they got about a minute in they were just standing back there chatting, I'm surprised Grandma didn't truck them out some lemonade and cookies.

And exactly when in the hell did this mythical "When Senators weren't bought" time period happen pray tell?

This one is just as funny and maybe a bit more pathetic.

You're right that is more pathetic than the cute little Santorum sisters. I love all the pictures of dead people and the porch filled with presumably dead folks plus one guy in a tri-corner hat, he probably bought that for a teabagger rally.

....Mitt and friends are going to fold those dollar bills into kites and fly them, all while playing hopscotch after taking a Sunday drive, which will become legal again after Obama is defeated.

All she wants is for us to be able to play hopscotch, and fly kites, and for there to be no black people, and to take Sunday drives.

Who doesn't want all of those things, dammit! Well, except for the no black people part. But honestly. Under Obama, the freedom to hopscotch has been abolished. Abolished!
