grayscale: T-SHIRT ALERT! Given the recent round of conniptions in the rightist blogosphere, there seems to be only one thing to do, and that's to slap this bad boy onto a t-shirt -- just in time to greet the Teabaggers' Convention this month, it's a fitted organic cotton, American-made Teabagger T-Shirt! Let's see how many real Progressives out there have the cajones to buy and wear this brutal, truth-telling T -- preferably to their next Obamacare Town Hall.
IN OUR PREVIOUS EPISODE: The recent Teabaggers' Shindig over at Senate Park has certainly left me inspired, to say the least. Never did I hear a gang of astroturfers yell more loudly about not being astroturfers even as they were funded by PACs run by characters like Tom DeLay and (snurf, giggle) Dick Armey, and never did I hear more yelling from a group about how they aren't about Left or Right, even while they never missed an opportunity to slag on the Left -- or even on ordinary Liberals, for that matter -- as the lot it was my fortune to cover this past Fourth Of July. What got me even more was their total ignorance of the causes and effects of events that happened before January 20, 2009 -- forgetting, for instance, that the current corporate bailout fiasco was pushed by George W. Bush. Listening to the howls from the stage and checking out the composition of the crowd, it was as if the single reaction from the Teabagger Massmind boiled down to "OMFG, the President is a N1GG3R!" -- like the old-timer in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles, hollering from the top of the church steeple, "Here comes the new sherriff, and he's a big..." ...and it sure as hell didn't help any as their event was organized and staged by members of a well-known White Power band, Pokerface. So, considering all this, I thought to myself, "Self, it's time you did a poster that announces the imminent arrival of the National Teabaggers' Convention coming to town on the 12th of September, and maybe inspire some of the local anarchists and antifascists to organize a little welcoming committee." So, I did. Images saved as .pdf format can be read and printed with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. |
