Tea Party nuts only got mad when they lost the last election!
From TPM(scroll down to the first message)
http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0415/report-tea-parties-political-ploy/

"You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got ousted.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed..
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said
illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq .
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn’t get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same services that Medicare provides.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our
debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in
AMERICA deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick."

5. I actually spoke to Louise Hartmann about that
When she posted it on Thom's site. She gave me credit but I try not to make myself too public, I've had enough problems with freepers as it is. I did get a signed Thom book though, and I did hear him read it on the air, and I heard it read on Ed Shultz's show too. I'm just happy to still see it make the rounds.

I'm actually waiting on the OP to comment, as we had a bit of a disagreement earlier on another subject, I thought it was funny that he posted it not knowing I was the author... :rofl:

2. I have never seen a teabagger carrying an anti-war sign
Ain't that odd?

4. I have
There are some local teabaggers who were part of our anti-war group when Bush was still president. Then when Obama was elected they joined the tebaggers.

No they don't carry anti-war signs NOW but at one time they did.

6. Why don't they carry them any more?
Do they just carry whatever signs are handed to them?

Are these local teabaggers of yours all related by any chance?

7. I went over to Raw Story to see the post...
and it's funny, there are a ton of Ron Paul supporters there who are very upset that their "tea party" has been stolen out from under them. They claim they are anti-war as well...

11. Lost elections will do that to a teabagger.
They hate it when their election goes soft.
