1. Ageism!

[cyberswede]

2. ...not to forget

...the matching wigs and sunglasses on these ladies. :) Thanks for posting.

[NightWatcher]

3. the revolution they want would take 20 minutes, or until the early bird special at Golden Corral

what a flacid segment of the society

[HughBeaumont]

4. OmG, "refudiate" is not a WORD, you fucks!!!

I'm blined from all the Red, WHITE, Blue and Stupid.

[wordpix]

8. however, it's a popular bushism - means repudiate the t-bag fuddy duds

:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

22. All D.C. Flag and Fannypack vendors retired to Belize last week.

The 8/28 and 9/12 FailFests were such bonanzas for them.

:rofl:

[uncommon]

45. +1

[virgogal]

5. All funny except the wheelchair. Sorry.

[blondeatlast]

21. I think it's the costume on the clown. Just sayin'. nt

[virgogal]

26. The OP put "Wheelchairs" as the photo caption. It was about wheelchairs.

[blondeatlast]

29. good point. nt

[mr blur]

49. My wheelchair wouldn't be seen dead among this bunch -

but then I didn't realise that needing a wheelchair meant that you were an ignorant fool.

[Contrary1]

50. Wonder if that wheelchair was paid for by our socialist government. n/t

[OhioChick]

6. Classy bunch there!

:rofl:

[myrna minx]

7. in #4, I really appreciate the *lady* version of the t-shirt.

:D

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. If she moved it off one shoulder she could get a "Flashdance" thing going on...

...but in a Statue of Liberty kinda way.



:rofl:

:toast:

[Kalyke]

9. Wow... old, white and cranky (with the exception of No. 5)

And, yes, No. 8, you are more than likely racist - but somehow, I'm having a hard time believing that a man who was accepted into Harvard without a legacy and graduated with top honors is more stupid than you.

[wordpix]

10. most of these "anti-government" types appear to be on Medicare

a lot of them look old enough - idiots

[otohara]

43. Indeed

Such hypocrites

[Initech]

11. It's sad when they actually have to point out they're not racist.

[blondeatlast]

13. "I'm not a racist but..."

Dead giveaway.

[Brickbat]

12. It was funny until it hit wheelchairs.

[peace13]

18. +100 n/t

[Amerigo Vespucci]

37. I agree...I included it because it was #13 of #13, but reluctantly...

...I can't speak to the original poster's intention behind that one, because it could be taken a number of different ways. Perhaps the best way to take it is not at all, and I do apologize to those who are offended by it. I personally don;t believe that it was intended to ridicule people with disabilities, but once again, it wasn't my idea, so I can't say.

[qb]

15. A tea partier calling Obama stupid? That's rich.

[OhioChick]

20. That picture still makes me LOL after all these years!

:rofl:

[blogslut]

16. That last photo

...almost makes me want to open a vein. What a cheerless, clueless couple.

[spanone]

17. what a sad lot of douchebags

[LibertyLover]

19. Re: #6, not to be picky, but

Only one of those women is wearing garb that is vaguely colonial and that would be the one on the left. I believe the style of dress is called a polonaise. The one in the middle is wearing something circa 1890 (I'd call it early bordello tacky personally) and the one on the right is wearing a Civil War era day dress, complete with hoop.

[MorningGlow]

24. LOL I just posted the same thing

GMTA! :fistbump:

[HughBeaumont]

25. Ask them to spell "anachronism".

:rofl:

The Founding Fathers would LAUGH at these boobs.

[RaleighNCDUer]

32. I thought the middle one was Empire style, 1820s. But whatever it was meant to be

she probably got it copied from the cover of a bad romance novel.

[MorningGlow]

23. As a former costumer, I must wail at #6: WHY?!?

First of all, none of those costumes would qualify as "Colonial", although the toile-and-stripe one comes closest. The other two are turn-of-the-century (center) and Civil War era (right). But...why the costumes at all? What purpose does it serve? Oh...fuck it. :banghead:

[trusty elf]

27. Gawd, they are pathetic.

"I am AFP!" (A FUCKING PINHEAD)

[CLANG]

28. Deathly afraid they might be gay!

[doc03]

30. The women in the wheelchair Loves Capitalism, I bet

she loves her disability check from the govment too. They get a disabilities check they deserve them but everyone else is a welfare bum.

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. "Don't stimulate Liberty" ??!!!!???

:wtf:

[Dawson Leery]

33. The teabaggers

They look like those who wanted the government to intervene to keep Terri Schiavo on life support.
They look like the same freaks who called for a boycott (and violence) against the Dixie Chicks.
They look like the same freaks who tried to shut down the Florida recount in 2000.

See the trend?

[tanyev]

34. That's a giant pair of teabags #12 is sporting.

[begin_within]

35. I would remove the wheelchair photo from this, as the wheelchair is not relevant

My mother is a lifelong Democrat and is now in a wheelchair at 91 years of age. I think the fact the woman is in a wheelchair is irrelevant to the event she was at and irrelevant to the theme of this thread. I disagree that wheelchairs are some sort of fashion trend among teabaggers. Other than that I thought this was an amusing thread. I would have chosen the Statue of Liberty visors as one of the teabagger fashion trends.

[LynneSin]

36. If you wear a t-shirt that has to say "I'm not Racist" - you probably are racist.

[mitchum]

38. The Whiteness of the Wail

[krabigirl]

39. scary.

[Ron Green]

40. #7 is gonna give me some bad dreams, I think.

[HopeHoops]

41. You can dress up a dumbfuck, but it is still a dumbfuck.

[surrealAmerican]

42. That's a whole lot of statue of liberty paraphernalia ...

... for a group that is anti-immigrant. Do they have any idea what the inscription on the statue's base is about?

[Brewman_Jax]

44. None of these teakluxklanners had a problem

with G.W. Bush* doing far worse. They stayed quiet and cheered him on. :eyes:

[thereismore]

46. Plastic foam made in China Lady Liberty hats. nt

[Courtesy Flush]

47. NPR this morning described the Tea Partiers as "White, bright, and right"

"Bright" caught my attention. They claimed that they were mostly an intelligent bunch.

I have to think they were referring to the ones behind the scenes, pulling the strings. I have to agree. They are geniuses.

[Ron Green]

48. How about "Pale, male, and fail."

You're right that the ringleaders are clever, but their ranks are rank indeed.

[DireStrike]

51. Actually, there appear to be plenty of females in the ranks.

The difference is they will never be allowed near power. You'll get one or two Schlaflys in a generation, but that's it.

[Marr]

52. Looks like a retired superhero team.
