Florida teabaggers develop new strategy: spelling

And the war between the Teabagging People's Front and the People's Front of Teabag rages on:

Tea party activists in Florida who insist they are the real thing are about to mount a public education campaign to rebrand a group of candidates as fakers who won't adhere to principles of the movement.


As TPM has been diligently reporting, Florida teabaggers are currently embroiled in a lawsuit to determine who the real teabaggers are. Because god forbid Florida voters confuse one group of dumb bigots with another group of dumb bigots. So...

Tea partier Tim McClellan, a political strategist based in Pompano Beach who is suing the Florida Tea Party, has a plan to prevent those Tea Party candidates from winning, and it involves spelling...

His approach will be to brand the candidates he considers fake by convincing everyone to call them the "T-E-A" party, with the hope that voters wooed by the tea party movement won't associate that Florida Tea Party with the activists who attend rallies and don't want official party status.


McClellan will be traveling the state, seeking press coverage, to make sure all Floridians understand the difference between teabaggers and the "opportunist" T-E-A-baggers, until a judicial activist judge can decide who the real teabaggers are. That'll learn 'em.

1. Good luck with that. Tea Baggers, Tea Partiers, T-E-A, whatever.
It's all the same thing: hate-based, ignorant, hypocrites.

They complain about high taxes, yet they're lower now than they've been for decades.

They complain about government-run health care, while telling the government to keep its hands off their Medicare.

Really? These people are just plain ignorant. Or they're bigots who have a problem with a black man in the White House. And they're using any excuse they can find to justify their bigotry.

Ignorant = Tea Baggers/Tea Partiers/T-E-A, whatever you want to call them, they're all the same.

3. reminds me of how I had to spell certain words
in front of my dog, like W-A-L-K. Otherwise, she'd go crazy, thinking it was time for her walk. Of course, after a while, she recognized the spelled out words. Probably not a problem to spell for tea baggers as I am sure they are nowhere near as intelligent as my dearly departed doggie.

4. Oh, I thought maybe they were going to make correct spelling a higher priority
on their homemade signs. Whew! That would have decreased their entertainment value considerably.

5. You beat me to it.
I expected to see a bunch of photos of signs with mizpeled words.
