THIS is how you Stomp The Tea Party-"Book Burning Party"

THIS Is How You Stomp The Tea Party! (Video)

The Tea Party in Troy Michigan tried to shut down their local library. We know that reading is hard, and they don’t like books very much, unless they’re written by degenerate hate-mongers like Hannity, Beck, Savage, Limbaugh, et al. But The Troy Michigan Tea Party got more than they bargained for.

Check it out!

They also can't see through Cobert's edgy sarcasm and think he's a conservative who defends them. How dumb is that?

Brilliant campaign! Wish we had more groups with a little money and resources to do stuff like this.

I don't doubt that this same tactic can be used to fight everything the Tea Party wants to force on us. From their desire to bust Unions (Vote yes for the Right to Work for Less!) to slashing food stamps (Vote yes on Childhood Hunger!) to repeal Obama care (Vote yes to deny insurance coverage for those with preexisting medical conditions!). It should work in every case.

allusion equating Teabillies to Nazis, and most of the teabillies didn't even notice. Watching pox News and listening to hate radio will paralyze reason and logic.
The baggers have learned to play the victim from the propagandists at Pox and the hate radio bloated Nazi gasbags like Rash Limbaugh.
And we thought we defeated these assholes in 1945.

The fucking Republicans do this all the time - take your strength and use it against you like judo...good to see that at least some progressive thinkers have been paying attention!
