LOL! Freepers devise genius plot to drive us "crazy" and win over the rest of the electorate.
What does it entail?

Yep, clandestine tea-bagging.

You cannot beat the stupid on this one. :rofl:

Well, at least they will be stimulating the economy and ensuring no tea companies go out of business!






AFTER THE TEA PARTY - NOW WHAT? INDIVIDUAL ACTION - THAT'S WHAT
self

Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009 1:48:29 PM by wtc911

Folks are asking; "What do we do after the Tea Parties?"


I am (and have been) taking individual action.


Everywhere I go I carry loose tea bags. I leave one behind. At the bank, on the train, at the gas pump, at the library, especially at Borders Books.


I have left over a hundred so far. My favorite was a teabag looped over the ears of a life-sized cardboard figure of TOTUS in Union Station in DC. I pulled back and watched the reactions of passers-by. People do notice...and that is the point.


If hundreds of us did this (or thousands) in every state we could make it a "Kilroy Was Here" legend and drive the commie bastards crazy

1. Don't they know that most tea is imported from Asia?
Why do they hate America? :shrug:

2. Well . . .
. . . if they start using good tea it could be nice. I'll just carry around a thermos of hot water and have free tea. Though putting something in my body touched by them might be hazardous to my mental well being.

3. Why aren't these people charged with littering?
I've asked this before and never got a response. Isn't this littering?

If I see some asshole dropping teabags on public property I'm getting the cops involved.

6. Remember when we stamped dollar bills and other
under the radar protests. Don't mock this. They have learned from us. It is our job to keep focused on the road ahead and to support good policies which the people asked for with their votes last NOvember.

7. Mock it? Oh hell yes. Because I learned one thing from those 'under the radar' protests
No one has a clue what those things are about except us diehard political online junkies. The rest of the world can't be bothered to read everything stamped on their currency.

8. FReeper: "Tea bags are cheap. I bought three hundred for six dollars."
Easy for all of them there who make more than $250,000. Must be all of them, don't ya think?

They are so pathetically gullible.

Also known as dittoheads, I guess.

11. Tea-bagging in public?
Is there no bottom to their bucket of depravity?

There ought to be a law.

13. People may notice
and then they will laugh.

Since voting didn't work I'm sure littering with teabags will change this country into exactly the way these idiots want it. :eyes:

God bless these Freepers, if it weren't for them I don't know what I'd do sometimes, (for a laugh).

Everywhere I go I carry loose tea bags. I leave one behind. At the bank, on the train


Exactly! We absolutely MUST drop teabags on the trains we ride everyday to protest the goverment spending our taxes on outrageous things like trains!

especially at Borders Books.


Oh no! Won't there be anywhere I can go to sip lattes and read liberal books without getting teabagged?

I pulled back and watched the reactions of passers-by. People do notice


...that you're an idiot.

And from their thread:

To: Apple Pan Dowdy

“What are the litter laws? Should we be worried about being fined big bucks for littering?”

I thought about that, too...but war is hell...

Yup, there's your brave Freeper keyboard warrior--willing to risk a litter fine, (and not much more), for his country. I'm inspiried by his courage.

To: wtc911

That’s true. Perhaps next is leaving 9 red/white chalk stripes on public walls and places, or a simple 3-coiled line.

Or 12 red monkeys!

To: wtc911

Its a good message. However, as far as an action that might actually get some results, I'm going with cutting my spending as much as possible.

If the ecomony improves, Obama and the democrats in congress will get the credit. If unemployment gets worse they'll get the blame and people may vote for a change, just like they did when they figured out Jimmy Carter had to go.

That's right guys, if we all buy too many teabags and it pulls us out of the depression it might look like Obama fixed things!

:rofl:

Nine red/white stripes? Do they not know that the American flag has thirteen stripes? Or is this from the Amercian flag?

17. Fear the teabag! That cold chill that runs through you when you see one at Borders. . .
Means it's meant for iced tea, I guess.

18. Somebody left their tea bag
Do they realize that most people aren't totally focused on what they are doing? The best they will get is "somebody dropped their tea bag". No caffeine for you!

Edited on Fri Apr-17-09 02:55 PM by JeffreyWilliamson
I don't know about you but if I see a teabag I'll instantly be caught up in a conservative populist fervor and stop paying my taxes in protest!

Then I'll come home and start painting signs:

"Obama = Castro"

"Where is BURTH CERTFICUTE?!"

"Freedum, not U.s.S.A."
