    I keep wondering what the Tea Party v2.0 will be. All of these Sudden Independents ™ will need some way to burn all the Nazi uniforms and some new banner and sham “party” to rally behind.

    All those teabaggers thought they were fooling people and would get positively outraged [1] if you 1) remember that they called themselves teabaggers, not “the left”, and remind them of that simple fact, and 2) pointed out that it was entirely astroturfing done to give conservatives and Republicans cover for their W support and for their support of invading Iraq (again).

    I wonder how much of that stupid Orange Jesus regalia ends up in the dumpster weeks after he passes away.

    [1] Several of them would run to mods on Denver Post to get me banned and my posts taken down. I had several timeouts for any reference to their original name, which was, in fact, teabaggers and that them denying it was just them rewriting history. I had timeouts for pointing out the mere fraud that was part of the “taxed enough already” so-called “movement”. At one point just using the term “astoturf” was enough to have a post of mine pulled.
