A man with Parkinson’s disease attended a teabagger rally in Columbus, Ohio yesterday, holding a sign asking attendees to consider people with debilitating illnesses as they protested health care reform. Watch how they treated him.

At a Tea Party rally in Washington DC today, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) declared that demonic forces are behind the health care reform bill. Speaking shortly after he riled up a crowd at Tuesday’s Tea Party protest, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) declared that “demons” – yes, demons – have invaded the capital (and likely the souls of Democrats), forcing lawmakers …

Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has launched Liberty Central, a Tea Party activist group. The move is raising eyebrows about the supposed impartiality of the Court. The group plans to issue score cards for Congress members and be involved in the November election, although Thomas would not specify how. She said it would accept donations from …

A teabagger’s take on Ernest Thayer’s classic 1888 baseball poem Casey At The Bat has been updated to include digs at Nancy Pelosi, “that aging queen” Barney Frank, ACORN, Chris Matthews, and others. Marxism, socialism, blah blah blah. You really DO need to watch this to grok the boiling hatred here.

Former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson, who has starred in nothing but her own child-voiced mind since she was fired from the show 18 years ago, has become a darling of the Tea Party crowd for her Obama=Hitler, Obama=Communist ukulele shtick. If you stand it, here’s her latest.

Sarah Palin appeared on Jay Leno’s relaunched Tonight Show last night to talk up teabaggers and Fox News. Note how the house band walks her in to Everyday People. Ugh. If you can stand it, Free Republic has a live thread from the show.

In response to the Tea Party, a Facebook-generated movement calling itself the Coffee Party says that the federal government isn’t the enemy. Fed up with government gridlock, but put off by the flavor of the Tea Party, people in cities across the country are offering an alternative: the Coffee Party. Growing through a Facebook page, the party pledges to “support …

Tea Party dimwits in New Jersey are attempting to recall Sen. Robert Menendez. Even though a member of Congress has never been recalled. Ever. From the wingnut Newsmax: Republicans’ chances to retake the Senate are limited by the fact that only a third of the chamber is up for re-election this year, but some conservative activists are pushing to force …

In another one of his classic Special Comments, Keith Olbermann confronts the racism inherent in the Tea Party movement and basically begs them to rethink their ways. Required viewing.

Some teabagger-aligned outfit calling themselves American Resistance Radio has posted a YouTube clip threatening to murder the gay blogger known as Gossip Boy, who has identified the author as some idiot named Jim Stachowiak, with whom Gossip Boy appears to have an ongoing blog battle.

New Left Media talks to attendees at last weekend’s Tea Party Convention. Guest appearance by loony Orly Taitz! Enjoy the crazy.

The above photos were taken at a teabagger protest in California’s central valley last year, but are offered up here today because: 1) We haven’t seen them yet, 2) Teabagger photos are ALWAYS funny, and 3) The photography is simply gorgeous. More photos here. (Tipped by JMG reader Paul)

More delightful post-convention infighting from the teabaggers! Following the weekend convention sponsored by Tea Party Nation, a social networking site for tea partiers, a rival site, Tea Party Patriots, sent out an email message to its members complaining about the “media frenzy” around the convention and advising them to be wary of anyone trying to hijack the movement. The “Real …

Sarah Palin is making the rounds claiming to be an “energy expert” due to Alaska’s contribution of 20% of the nation’s energy needs. That’s about a ten-fold exaggeration, Alaska only produces 2.9%. Don’t expect the teabaggers to call her out. (Image via – AmericaBlog)

It was a nonstop Amerigasm!

In an interview after her Tea Party convention keynote speech, Sarah Palin was noticed to refer to crib notes written on her palm for her talking points. This, from the woman who has repeatedly ridiculed Barack Obama for using a teleprompter, including minutes earlier from the teabagger podium. Apparently the woman who wants to be the next president cannot remember …

Here’s the entire thing, if you can bear it. Palin spends the hour spewing vapid patriotic catch phrases and slams of Obama. And little else.

World Net Daily founder Joseph Farah and his Just For Men Olympics gold medal winning mustache spoke at the Tea Party Convention last night. Farah’s speech was devoted almost entirely to the birther movement. And Jeebus. Who did have a birth certificate, apparently. Or something. Incidentally, this is the first I’ve heard Farah’s voice, which for somebody who runs the …
