I was listening to one of our local stations this morning and they interviewed a reporter who was there. His favourite sign, and I love it too, said "If your philosophy can fit on a sign, think again". Pretty well sums up the teabaggers.

Judging by the speling on the Teabagger signs, do we want them to think again? Even if some of them are capable of it?

The Rude Pundit was in attendance and tells the story:
11/01/2010
Why the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear Matters on the Day Before the Election:



Sure, there was a lot to be irritated about with the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear this weekend in DC. Obviously, the entire event was calculated to be for a stadium-sized audience of about 50-60,000 people. If you weren't well east of 7th Street, you couldn't see a goddamn thing, not even the Jumbotrons. Obviously, The Daily Show and Colbert Report organizers didn't anticipate that at least a quarter million people would show up for what was, really, an exaggerated, glorified version of the TV shows, a kind of Comedy Central on Ice. It's hard to tell how many people would have been there because the Rude Pundit saw a line of about a thousand people waiting in a line outside the Vienna Metro stop. Obviously, it was meant to be a little something for the fans at the end of a brutal, awful campaign season where Hope got raped by Hate; you could bring funny signs, dress up, and have a ball. And maybe get something out of it: irony does not denote a lack of sincerity. What it became, though, was something much more significant, something that was missed by nearly everyone covering the event.

What, you might ask, or not ask because you know I'll tell you anyway, is the evidently desecrated image of Beck the Teabag Messiah doing here? Well, that's another story:
(That sign above was on a park police horse trailer in DC on Saturday. It apparently fell over onto the ramp when the doors opened, and a horse shit on Glenn Beck's face. The Rude Pundit hopes it was a commentary by the cops on the previous rally on the Mall. Tip o' the rude hat to pal Dean T. for the photo [and the weekend lodging].)

It fits in well, doesn't it?

Between the invisible Jumbotrons and the sacred horseshit is quite an interesting take on the whole thing.
