Unintentionally funny anti-gay logo

[kpete]

In one of the most unfortunate moves in American politics since Republicans kept referring to the Tea Party “teabagging,” the anti-gay Family Research Council, which has been officially designated a “hate group,” has come up with a rather odd campaign to fight the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down DOMA yesterday.

Even their little logo they use for the tabs on your Web browser (in the business we call this a favicon) shows the man on his knees:

1. LMFAO!!!

[TheDebbieDee]

13. Alright.....One of the governing members of this org must secretly be a writer for the Onion!

[hrmjustin]

14. That was my thought as well!

[backscatter712]

2. Oh my!

[janlyn]

3. Oh man!!!

That reminds me of a church sign I saw in Little Rock Arkansas

" If you want to get ahead in life, you have to get on your knees"

[Scuba]

4. Bigotry and hatred are hallmarks of stupid people.

[Scootaloo]

5. "I'm in!"

Well, if you have to actually say so...

[Jenoch]

6. That is an unintentional meaning for the logo.

Even if someone from the organization noticed the double entendre I doubt if they would have spoken up.

To be fair, the republicans were not referring to themselves as teabaggers or teabagging.

7. "To be fair, the republicans were not referring to themselves as teabaggers or teabagging."

Oh yes they were! It wasn't until the people on the left started making fun of them that they changed it to "tea party".

[Jenoch]

11. No, I'm interested in facts.

The fact is, those idiots were comparing themselves to the patriots and the Boston Tea Party.

[flying rabbit]

20. They were,

BUT they called themselves teabaggers, until it was pointed out what it meant.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

8. Sorry, they were INDEED referring to themselves -

as "teabaggers".

One of the more infamous images from that time:



Then there's this:

17. You will enjoy this...

[Hell Hath No Fury]

18. All those dangling teabags --

swaying near their mouths always made me laugh. Jon Stewart & Rachel Maddow did funny bits on the unintentional hilarity of the Baggers' choice of self-identification.

[lame54]

10. I beg to differ - watch this...

[ZombieHorde]

16. They started the "Teabagger" label, we just ran with it. nt

[lame54]

19. In other words - they dangled it in front of our faces

[ZombieHorde]

21. Hehe. nt

[lame54]

9. He's got good hand action

[MineralMan]

12. Stuff like this makes life hard for satirists.

It has become almost possible to exaggerate enough for the satire to be clear.

15. Oh, Man. You can't make this shit up!
