If teabaggers were a character in a film they would be cast as the bad guy

[abelenkpe]

Teabaggers fight to free the nation of health care and benefits programs that benefit the working poor, the disabled, the elderly and the unemployed despite the fact that they've paid into those programs. The fight to free us from affirmative action, the epa, and the department of education. They don't want business constrained by minimum wage requirements, want them to be able to pollute our water and land freely, and not be burdened with periodic inspections of the food we eat or toys for our children. They want immigrants to be turned away, their children denied education or health care.
If this were a story or a film would they be the good guys? Do good guys fight to deny or bully or shout down the voices of the people? To discriminate against people? To benefit big business or justify the destruction of the environment? To leave the most vulnerable to starve or suffer?
They'd make great bad guys though, wouldn't they?

1. Actually, more like the patsies

The actual bad guys are safely ensconced in corporate boardrooms and gated luxury communities.

The Teabagger "movement" is the most successful astroturf campaign ever. And it's creators are laughing all the way to the bank.

9. Exactly

They cheer corporate power, destruction of nature and worship military power.

7. I'd compare them to the Orcs from Lord of the Rings.

Mindless drones willing to do battle on behalf of Sauron.

8. They'd be cast as the village idiot.

Or the back-alley thug.
