The irony is so thick, this will require a chainsaw

If the ridiculousness of the right-wing stays on trend this way, we are going to have pie tosses & seltzer water by Senators in giant shoes by the end of next year. Now they are calling for people to teabag Democratic congressman & The White House to oppose the deficit spending of the Obama administration.

REALLY??

Have these nutjobs really forgotten that Bush inherited a surplus and raped that to the highest deficit levels we've seen in decades. While he destroyed our financial position we also began experiencing the worst recession and highest unemployment since the Great Depression?

This shows the real power and danger of the right-wing. People who are suffering the worst economic fate possible are being convinced to protest against a president that actually will create growth in our country. 

The point of the original Boston Tea Party was "no taxation without representation" which is exactly what we had the past 8 years. We had a government that took our taxes, but gave nothing back. The irony is so thick here. Obama is making government responsible for its constituents, and its spending. 

Problem is, it seems as if common sense is not what that portion of the population wants. They want nonsense, and they are getting it in abundance.

Oh yeah... Also I should point out that this whole "teabag" concept was created by wealthy corporate lobbyists
