I'm so bored of this whinging, and throwing Joe the Plumber into the equation just makes it worse.

maybe they'll have a book burning!

and by book burning, I mean buring JtP's book.

LOL, I wish!

are we just going to have random Tea Parties now all the time? Sounds effective.

I'm not entirely sure that doing it today isn't on purpose. It's International Workers Day and I'm quite paranoid they're trying to deliberately moon organized labor.

This makes sense:

Grandstanding? Check.
Able to plead later that they didn't know because it's not an American holiday? Check.
Able to claim that IWD is obviously a socialist takeover? Check.

They havea right to protest like this if they want, but it's stupid.

FUCK YOU JOE THE ASSHOLE.

Don't you DARE get your 'rah rah capitalist' shit in my socialist holiday, dammit.

(Today is International Worker's Day everywhere but in the US. And I may be in the US, but I still recognize it.)

lmfao my thoughts exactly, gtfo capitalism. just for today. please?

Hell I love my socialist national holiday*g*, considering all the christian national holiday's we've got here, it's nice to have one that's devoted to workers instead.

“People don’t need to feel helpless"

How about hopeless? Because I've lost all hope that you assholes are ever going to bother to EDUCATE yourselves.

“Party politics is killing America. This is not just a Republican movement, this is an American movement."

An American movement of mostly right-wing nuts BAAAWWWWWing over losing, mostly attended by 30-60 year old white men and their wives? You DO get that America is slightly more diverse than that, right?

“The first bailout for the financial industry was under the Bush watch and I didn’t hear any cry from the Tea Parties at that point,”

THANK YOU! :D

And seriously, Joe? If you come up with that "Did you know there are places in this country you can be SHOT for saying 'God Bless America'?" shit again, I'll find out where you're going next and cockslap you.
