I fell for this only because I truly know right-wingers to be exactly that stupid, and then some. Stupid is the only thing they are more than they are cowards.

I think.

I went and checked out the Facebook page that is indicated in the OP: http://www.facebook.com/teapartycat and it seems to be a liberal's satire page, re: "Top Conservative Cat. I was never a Reagan Democrat-- I've always been a Colbert Conservative."

I've perused a bit of the content and it's actually quite clever and amusing.

The FB page says so. But I wouldn't be surprised if true Tea Party types share it as truth!

the sad thing is how many people will seize on it and thinks it really tells the tale they're buying into.
