This should tickle the absurdists among us: Rep. Michele “Crazy Eyes” Bachmann. At a lectern. In a boxing ring. Talking to teabaggers. FOR AN HOUR. This is performance art of the highest order, people.

In what organizers billed as a “Tea Party Woodstock,” thousands of teabaggers gathered in the Nevada desert outside Las Vegas this weekend to scream about overthrowing the government and listen to Sarah Palin.

What’s with the leather Harley jacket? Palin says the controversy over her gunfire rhetoric is just a “ginned up controversy invented by the lamestream media.”

Alabama “militiaman” and popular teabagger blogger Mike Vanderboegh calls for his followers to smash Democratic offices. Some are blaming him for the incidents that have already occurred. “To all modern Sons of Liberty: THIS is your time. Break their windows. Break them NOW. If you wish to send a message that Pelosi and her party [that they] cannot fail to …

Watch this.

Sarah Palin has posted a map of Democrats to target in the 2010 election with gun sight icons to indicate the district of each member. Some folks aren’t too happy about this. “RELOAD!” Sarah Palin shouted at right-wing supporters via Twitter on Tuesday after President Obama signed the House health care bill. On her Facebook page, she posted a U.S. …

Teabaggers are throwing bricks through the office windows of House Democrats. The window broken Friday at the Niagara Falls office of Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, D-Fairport, was one of at least four cases of vandalism targeting Democratic offices across the country late last week during the debate over health care reform. A window was also broken at the Monroe County …

Despite internet postings of the home addresses and phone numbers of Democrats who voted for health care reform, GOP leaders have still not condemned the threats of physical violence pouring in from teabaggers. Local police are now protecting the homes of some Democratic House members.

“He’s got every right to do what he did and some may say I did too, but what I did was shameful. I haven’t slept since that day. I made a donation (to a local Parkinson’s disease group) and that starts the healing process. I wanted this to go away, but it won’t and I’m paying the consequences.” – Ohio …

Frank: “I haven’t got a lot of respect for these people, to be honest, so who cares what they say to me?” He goes on to express concern about the example set for children.

Rep. Steve King and Rep. Michele “Crazy Eyes” Bachmann left the House chamber last night after the vote to go outside and console their teabagger supporters. Both vowed massive retaliation against the Democrats in November. King: “They people had the nerve to cast this vote on the LORD’S day!” OK, then.

Because it’s the Democrats’ “totalitarian tactics” that are making people “act crazy” and shout racist and anti-gay slurs against members of Congress. And totally not because the teabaggers actually are the kissing-cousins of the KKK.

Don’t hold your breath, Congressman. Freepers react:-“Someone should have thrown a high heel at Barney. Maybe an Air Jordan at Lewis.”-“You freaking libtards keep pushing this… and you are gonna WISH all we were doing was calling you names! It’s almost time, and thank god our side is armed and ready.”-“Two scum destroying the USA. Keep shoutin’!!!!!!”

A huge crowd of Tea Party protesters attempted to “storm” the U.S. Capitol and Congressional office buildings this afternoon, prompting DC police to close the buildings. Teabaggers also hung “Don’t Tread On Me” and “American Revolution II” flags from the outer balcony of the Capitol. Reactions to the building closures on Free Republic: – “Looks like the commie ‘RATS are …

“If Brown can’t stop it, a Browning can!” Teabaggers continue to threaten violent revolt over health care reform. Via ePluribus Media: This is the type of violence that the Republicans and their anti-American supporters have been striving for ever since the Obama Administration took office with the pledge to clean up the GOP’s mess. In attendance and apparently proud to …

At the behest of wingnut Rep. Steve King (R-IA), teabaggers are flooding the office buildings of Congress today. And things are getting very ugly. Things seem to be getting pretty heated in the Capitol with crowds of anti-Reform/Tea Party activists going through the halls shouting slogans and epithets at Democratic members of Congress. As our Brian Beutler reports, a few …

NewLeftMedia lets the teabaggers speak for the themselves. The results are as you’d expect.
