I admit it. Back in April I subjected you to this, via the Maddow Blog:

Now my buddy and Blunt video contributor @jazzcattrio is adding to our pain. The tea baggers invaded Napa Valley here in California yesterday, thanks to the Tea Party Express

SFGate.com documented it:

And though some promised GOP presidential candidates didn’t materialize (they’ll hit the tour later, we’re told), 50′s crooner Pat Boone was a no-show, and even rapper Polatik took a pass, we were able to capture former U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle hitting the stage with an capella version of “God Bless America” — uh, before while hawking her latest book.

Ready? Get those ear plugs out, hide the kids, and spare your pets by opening the doggie door, here she comes again:

Now hop over to SFGate.com to check out the other two videos. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Hint: “I think Rick [Perry] looks great… I think people have to really put aside ideology…”

Right. Put aside ideology and support a tea party candidate like Rick Perry. That isn’t contradictory at all.

Full coverage of the event can be found here on SFGate.com.

How to get the best of a Teabagger Fundie

Just had to share this from a wonderful DKos diary (pics too) about a silent protest at a “Tea Party Express” stop outside Milwaukee yesterday-

  •  * [new] Dave’s sign says “Blessed are the Rich.” 

    That throws people off. One guy, a minister, confronted him for sacrilege. Dave asked him, “what does it say in the Bible?”

    The Minister replied, “Blessed are the poor…”

    Dave said, “Exactly!”

    Dave knows how to talk to these people.

The Tea Party Express getting jittery about Wisconsin recalls, resorts to talking points about Soros

Look who has their hand out to try to douse the colossal backfire caused by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s anti-American union busting bills:

Hey tea baggers, guess why MoveOn has raised so much money. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Here’s a clue.

And seriously, they’re still using Soros as a talking point? Did they forget about this?

VIDEO- On The Colbert Report, Tea Party Express’s Amy Kremer: The “Congressional Branch” is one branch of government.

Remember when Donald Stumped didn’t know how many members serve in the House of Representatives? He’s been topped.

Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express “bus people” listed the “Congressional Branch” as one of three branches of government, at about 2:53.

Whoa, not only do they want smaller government, they want to rename the branches (Note: Edited). The point is that she represents herself as a spokesperson for Constitutionalism, and didn’t get it quite right.  This from a proud member of the self-proclaimed super duper (selective) Constitutionalists.

Paul Ryan “95% sure” he will not run for Senate

We’ll know his absolute, last 5% final decision in the next day or two. Via Taegan:

Sources tell Dave Catanese that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the chairman of the powerful House Budget Committee, is 95% sure he won’t run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI).

Why would Paul Ryan run when he has such a swell job, and when he still has so much catering to do to people like this:

Our message has not only been no, but hell no.”

— Tea Party Express Chairwoman Amy Kremer, quoted by ABC News, on raising the debt ceiling.

Hell no! Hell no! Hell no! Broken record, broken record, broken record…

A lovely friend shared this email with me, and of course, I had to share it with you.

The tea baggers “have a very busy week coming up, friends”! It has started with somebody typing up an email who could actually spell, only to be topped by twisting the truth to explain how liberals tried to “steal” Justice David Prosser’s suspicious victory, plus a couple of whiny “wa-a-ahs” on behalf of some poor “brave Republicans” who very possibly broke the law.

And now the Wisconsin GOP is feeling the backlash of their nasty little antics. So how do they cope? Why, by fundraising!

Wait… President Obama was behind the recall efforts? Really? No. Not really.

Tea bagger email, short version: Pleaseohplease give us money for our lies and underhanded tactics. We’re about to lose the legislature to evil hippie slobs!

State of the Union Watch: Michele Bachmann to rebut the rebuttal

Ben Smith got one of the most amusing emails I’ve seen in a long time:

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has confirmed with us that she will broadcast her response to Barack Obama’s State Of The Union address this Tuesday. You’ll be able to watch her rebut Obama via her address which will be broadcast on our website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org

Only Michele could top Ba-Ba-Baaa-Bobby Jindal. I wonder if Tea Party Express will provide a laugh track.

And I also wonder if this is the tea party’s not so subtle way of slapping the GOP upside the head.
