Gag, the tea party motherfuckers are holding a rally in my town this week.
There's got to be a way I can have some fun with this.

1. "Fight big government!"
"Legalize pot, legalize prostitution, and bring ALL the troops home!"

2. There is! GO and protest!
Please don't try and infiltrate the group- just go and protest them. Seems like when progressives try to infiltrate the teabaggers they end up on rightwing blogs. Be truthful and honest and show them where they are wrong.

3. Make a whacked-out over-the-top sign and pretend you're one of them.
Only to the extreme and see what kind of reactions you get, have someone film it. :hi:

10. Perfect - see how many of them approve of some really horrible message.

6. Grab your grandmother's tea cup and saucer and show up ready for tea.
And have fun.

7. I'd jump at the chance. That's one drawback about living in SF. No chance of tea party fun!!

8. Some ideas for signs -
"I came loaded . . . THIS time!"
"No Poor Person Ever Offshored My Job"
"Glenn Beck Wrote Propaganda Songs"
"At 1:00 P.M., America Will Pirhouette!"
"Pay Attention To The Dozens at this Rally!!"
"It's Funny That You Don't Know It's All A Goof. Oops."
"This Sign Is Close Captioned For the Sarcasm Impaired"

11. Go to the rally, get some video or stills
and post them here. That way we all have fun.

12. Dress like a clown
and hold a sign indicating the direction of the freak show

or if you are really good with words, dress as a carnival barker and indicate the assorted freaks on display with great description and flair

13. borrow my sign
When there was a teabag party at the SC Statehouse last March, and we noticed that the crowd was 100% white, 80% male, and about 75% of retirement age (and, didn't appear to be too affluent) a friend and I made a sign and joined in. It said "No Socialism....End Medicare and Social Security Now!" We got some very strange stares but suprisingly no one came up and confronted us or even talked to us.
