How to Crash a Tea Bag Party on Twitter

The Tea Bag Partiers are planning a massive show of strength on Twitter today (Wed) 09-09-09 at 9pm EST (6 pacific), just after Obama’s speech.  This is a tremendous opportunity for some pranks to be pulled to expose their hate and hypocrisy.  Join in and bring all of your friends.

As many of you know, I have been warning about the dangers of the Tea Bag parties for months now.   I’ve written articles on EyesOnObama, NewsJunkiePost, and here on ProgressiveNation.

The 50 Most Ridiculous Tea Party Slogans

Tea Bag Parties: Corporate Astroturfing to Derail Obama

Mobs, Intimidation, and Deceit at Town Halls

The Difference Between Astroturfing and Grassroots Protests

The Tea Parties started out as libertarian events, and those folks have a right to complain because they are following their beliefs now as they were during the latter Bush years.  I disagree with them immensely on economic policy, and see them as being pawns for corporations, but at least I have some respect for the consistency in their views.

The Tea Bag Parties that started after Santelli’s infamous and completely staged rant on CNBC however are almost completely run and attended by the same neocons that were the biggest Bush supporters.  The people that are protesting at these modern Tea Bag Parties share nothing with libertarians, they believe the Iraq War was a smashing success and completely justified.  These people think that we need to get tougher on the drug war and need more government interference in our lives with stricter laws.  These people put their faith in the same failed conservative policies that have failed us for nearly 30 years.  These people are neocons and hypocrites.

Now it has come to my attention that they are planning the largest ever Tea Bag Party on Twitter on 09-09-09 at 9pm EST (6 pacific) in preparation for their 912 street protests and march on DC.    The former gives progressives and moderates an excellent opportunity to do some digital counter protesting.  Just copy the lines below and paste them into twitter for amusement at 9pm EST.

    I am an ignorant 12 year old liberal who should be in school, but my dad has me here blogging for the union he belongs to. He says the radical libbies promise when we get this healthscam passed the working people will have to pay for the unions med ins. He says the unions spent all their money on ads for Obama and now are broke. He also wants me to tell all you ignorant sheep fellow liberals to keep up the good work, if we dont win this dangerous game vs Americans we can always get a bailout , just like the other worthless idiots that ran good companies into the ground. I have to go get my dad more kool-aid now.

    Funny to see lefties continue to complain about “astroturfing”.
    It's always been ACORN, SEIU, AFL-CIO, and various alpha-betters
    handing out money to help give the illusion that they have lots of
    supporters. Hypocrisy, your name is Hard-left Democrat. See
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R46X3J7ZFuk

    To quote Steven Crowder, one of hundreds of millions who know
    how cynical and closed minded the hard left are:
    “A “political activism” jobsearch on Craigsist turned up a few
    reccommendations and before long I was interviewing for one
    of Southern Californias premier Liberal activist organizations”.

    Crowder was assured that
    1) Republicans “pay people to show up”,
    while
    2) Democrats “recruit and retrain paid staff”.
    See the difference?
    I do; the first is an unsupported allegation, the second is documented.

    Thank you very much. I've learned to be tough after a lifetime of conservative harassment in a very red part of a red region. You can thank cons for this.

    Dear Ole Ole Olson, glad you keep the family jewels close to your heart and within easy reach. Too bad you lost them to begin with, but being neutered is not as bad as being lobotomized, unless, in your case, you get “snipped” at both ends. I feel your pain, well, kind of. I wish I could say “you'll get over it,” but you won't. I'd like to tell you there are better days coming, but your better days are over. My best advice? Bend over and kiss your ass good-bye. #NObama #libtards #GOYLSE #AsIfYouCouldMakeADifferenceOnTwitter

    Your attempt to squelch free speech, which those of your ilk claim to cherish, was childish, absurd and morally bankrupt.

    Why not discuss the issues rather than engaging in this ridiculous behavior? Very disappointing!
