They are LITERALLY throwing tea into the river!

Unbelievable!

I watched the "Teabaggers" on the local tonight (all eight of them) throwing teabags into the Genesee River...

My question is: how is this not considered a civil penalty for littering?

1. All 8 of them!

:rofl:

LTTE, or e-mail the station and ask them why they didn't call the cops? I don't know that those bags are biodegradable. Good point.

9. Typically, people are told to compost teabags

though one blog says they've been told they can contain some polyester: http://alice-in-blogland.blogspot.com/2007/05/composting-tea-bags.html

3. I thought they weren't supposed to do that? n/t

4. I would crack up if they were fined the customary $500 Littering ticket.

:rofl:

5. Silly gits!

And apparently historically-illiterate. The patriots in the Boston Tea Party were dumping loose tea into Boston Harbor -- tea bags as we know them today, didn't come along until 1903.

6. They're too stupid to know there were no tea bags back then.

They don't even know there is loose tea. Freeper morons!

7. I thought this was supposed to be tomorrow

:shrug:

8. Were you planning on attending?

:D

10. Drink Tea! Don't Dump It! -- sign suggestion for counter-protesters

[muntrv]

11. I would have held a sign saying "Go teabag each other, morans!"

12. Have you ever SEEN what's in the Genesee River?

Throwing tea into it could only be considered an improvement.

But seriously, if the teabaggers want to go nuts, why not? They just end up making idiots of themselves on local TV.

13. Local news covered 8 people?

Funny. I saw a dozen guys picketing a scab job site today and I didn't see the local news van. I must have just missed them.
