(Oh goodness me yes. More like this. - promoted by Charley on the MTA)
LET'S FIGHT DUMB WITH DUMBER!
JOIN THE NUT- TEA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!
Rally To Expose Tea Party for What They Are
Using a model effectively deployed by a San Francisco group when combating the hate-filled Westboro Baptist Church (the God Hates F#gs people), we have decided to have a simple response to Ms. Palin & her Tea Party minions.

Liberal Media my ass.Here are some examples of people who went with The BlueMass Group plan:
Notice the sexy, hot Sarah Palin impersonator!
Here are two of the six People-of-Color I saw who were on the TeaKlan side:
I don't know for sure whether their sympathies are really with the TeaKlanners, or if they were just trying to cash-in on stoopid.
I arrived late to the party, so I had to ride the Red Line with a train full of TeaBaggers.
On the platform, one guy asked me what my sign says.
I told him it's still blank. "I haven't made-up my mind yet. I was thinking of maybe, 'Get your TeaKlan out of our Socialist Park.' Or maybe "You call it a Tea Party, but I know The Klan when I see it.'"
Then I had a chat with a TeaBagging Vietnam veteran. He complained about lack of care of veterans, and I agreed with him. I ran down a list of all the some things that Bush and the GOP have done to our troops and our Veterans. He walked away as I told him, "It's a shame all the things the Republicans have done to you." As he walked-off I shouted, "Thank you for your service!"
Anyway, this was the sign I eventually made:
TeaKlan out of our Socialist park!"Ahhh, it was a great conversation-starter for both sides.
On the train, I sat across from a #TeaKlan woman I recognized from Twitter. She's on my Twitter list of "Right-Wing Nutjob Chicks I'd Like to Fuck."
http://twitter.com/IanDavidB/rwnj-chicks-i-would-fuckI didn't introduce myself, because she was with her two little Klanling kids.
One of the first people I encountered was this dude:
I'm guessing he also wears that shirt to King Richard's Faire to watch the jousting tournament.
Surprisingly, he and I agreed on some things. He doesn't care if gay people get married. Thinks we should have public financing of elections. He and I agree that he doesn't belong with us OR the TeaBaggers. But I told him that he should vote for Democrats, because those TeaBaggers are "fucking crazy." I said, "We're getting fucked by some of the Democrats, but we're getting fucked even more by the Republicans, and those TeaBaggers are just fucking crazy."
A TeaKlan lady passing by told me I should watch my language. Mumbled something about "dropping the F-Bomb." I told her I was "fucking sorry."
Then I actually DID feel kinda bad, and actually apologized to her friend.
Earlier, Open-Shirt-Man said that he was worried that some of the anti-Palin people get violent and attack him. I told him that was unlikely, but that if someone attacked him, I'd have his back. And that I would help ANYONE being attacked, no matter WHAT sign they were carrying.
Well, maybe not if the sign said, "Please beat me up."
In case you haven't figured it out, there were no clear lines of demarcation between US and the TeaKlan. We all freely intermingled with each other. We argued, there was some yelling, but for the most part it was civil.
When we did our little Liberal Parade through the heart of TeaBaggistan, one older dude with the snake flag shoved into the middle trying to make us get physical with him. It didn't work. We were all shouting that nobody should touch him. Provocation FAIL.
Now, here's an interesting fellow. Not sure whether to classify him as Liberal or Conservative. But certainly BatshitCrazy fits.
He got VERY upset when I started laughing out loud uncontrollably at him and his idea for a giant Rapture Survival Center.
Oh, it takes all kinds.
Here are some more photos:
I would say there were about 500 people there from each side.
The TeaKlanners seemed to think that we had crashed their party without permission and should leave the park, because we didn't have a permit.
I got into some good conversations, some heated arguments, but once you pierced to the heart of the argument, the TeaKlanners just walk away.
There was one guy I spoke to who said he listens to Glenn Beck and has never heard him say anything racist. I used my blackberry to google "Glenn Beck Racist" and showed him the hits that came up. "I don't have enough batteries left to play all these video clips on my phone. Go home and google it yourself."
I told him that a key difference between Liberals and Conservatives is that we will listen to the opposition and give them a voice. I told him to listen to The Thom Hartmann Show, and if he thinks Thom says something wrong, there is a special phone number for Conservatives to call-in and get to the head of the line.
http://twitter.com/thom_hartmannhttp://www.thomhartmann.com/contactMon-Fri, 12-3 EST
1-866-987-THOM (8466)
(I can't find the Conservative call-in line on the webpage, but Thom regularly announces it on the show).
I told him I would listen to hear "Mike from Cape Cod" (I think it was Mike. Or Robert?) call-in to Thom's show on the Conservative line.
And in exchange, I would listen to an entire Glenn Beck show. We shook on it, so now I have to do it. And let's see if Beck takes my call.
Mike didn't believe me that Thom would take his call.
And then there was a beautiful young lady in an outlandish costume who silently held a sign that said, "You cannot have peace without civility."
I don't think she was on any side in particular, but some old teabagger degenerate lady singled her out to harass for the day. The Teabagger held a sign with an arrow pointing toward the young lady saying something like, "Fake Conservative Liberal Loon."
I didn't take a photo, because honestly I was too in awe of the young lady holding the "You cannot have peace without civility" sign. Whatever side she's on, I was not worthy to photograph her. Eventually, you'll probably be able to google her.
I had a conversation with the TeaKlan lady. I said, "That young lady is not a fake anything. She's got her own message that's for BOTH sides. I can't stand next to her with my sign (which says "TeaKlan Out of our Socialist Park") because I cannot live up to the standard that lady is setting.
"I have every right to be here and say blah blah blah..."
"Yes, you do. But why single-out one person to harass? I support your right to do this, but really you should be ashamed of yourself."
Then the lady tried to drown me out by sining, "My Country 'Tis of Thee."
I responded by loudly singing, "Clinton Got a Blowjob," but it's been so long, that I mangled the lyrics thusly:
George Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction...
Clinton Got a blowjob!
So there was deception in addition to the suction, but...
Clinton got a blowjob!
Now what's worse? Starting a war? Or using a vagina as a human humidor?*
And who got impeached? And what for? Oh, right. Clinton got a blowjob!*Apologies to Mr. Eric Schwartz. It should have been "Or keeping your Cohibas in a human humidor."
From Eric Schwartz: Clinton Got a Blowjob... THE VIDEO!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=385&topic_id=45And then the TeaBagger lady started this spiel about not knowing if I was a man or a woman, blah blah blah. I offered to grudge-fuck her. I told her we could have some hot, Liberal-on-Conservative angry sex. Oh, she doesn't know what she was missing.
I could have done all sorts of Liberal things to her she'd never heard of, and never knew she'd love.
Oh, well. Her loss.
That was fun, but not really what I'd gone there for.
So, I wandered around, made some friends, made some arguments, and had lunch with a very lovely college student from New Hampshire who was studying Political Science.
And here's a short video clip of some Teabagger with a guitar singing some kind of TeaKlan song.
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v653/ian02302/?action=view¤t=VID00195.flvHis guitar SHOULD have the words, "This Machine Enables Fascists" painted on it.
And THAT was my day.
