The first ever Tea Party Convention got underway in Nashville today with a speech from former Rep. Tom Tancredo in which he lamented the loss of the Jim Crow days when southern blacks had to pass a literacy test in order to vote. In his speech Thursday to attendees, former Republican congressman Tom Tancredo invoked the loaded pre-civil rights era …

“I will not benefit financially from speaking at this event. My only goal is to support the grassroots activists who are fighting for responsible, limited government — and our Constitution. In that spirit, any compensation for my appearance will go right back to the cause. The nature of the Tea Party movement means there may never be a “perfectly orchestrated” …

Next month’s Tea Party Convention is falling apart over questions about where the money will go. Crazy-eyed Rep. Michele Bachmann has joined the list of those pulling out. Oh noes! Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has become the latest to pull out of a scheduled speaking gig at the controversial National Tea Party Convention next year. Like Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) …

Could this be the first true thing she’s ever said?

Former USMC Sgt. Charles Dyer is the organizer of a Tea Party offshoot called the Oath Keepers, a group dedicated to recruiting military personnel into the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Dyer works as a liaison between militia groups and the Tea Party and last year spoke at a Tea Party rally in Oklahoma. On Tuesday, Dyer was arrested …

Conservatives are rushing out videos supporting candidates they are now trumpeting as the “next Scott Brown.” First out of the gate is California U.S. Senate teabagger and birther candidate Chuck DeVore, who is running in the GOP primary against former HP CEO Carly Fiorina for Sen. Barbara Boxer’s seat.

JMG reader Wilson tips us to this teabagger clip for Scott Brown in which they say that a vote for him is a vote against the “tyrannical government of Obama.” The music is a riot. The comments on YouTube, not so much.

I guess our socialist-fascist-communist leader hasn’t totally destroyed the economy if the knuckle-dragging teabaggers can sell out the Sarah Palin – Joseph Farah tag-team moronathon at $550 each! Each convention registrant will receive a lovely gift bag containing an American flag pin, a copy of Going Rogue, a white hood, and an 8×12 glossy of Jesse Helms, suitable for framing.

“This flag has never been meant to replace the national flag. This flag has a specific purpose and it’s time has come. To show the politicians and the media that we’re ready for a second American revolution. And with that, you know, in America we have a choice of four boxes for political change. We can go to the soap …

The residents of Wingnuttia are screaming at NPR for hosting the below Mark Fiore cartoon on their site. Fiore casually reports receiving death threats over the issue: Before you could say, “due to a pre-existing condition, your health coverage has been denied,” there was a full-fledged viral campaign by right-wing media outlets and blogs to jump, scream and shout about …

The teabaggers are at each others’ throats about, well, everything.

From last night’s favorite trending topic on Twitter… Hey baby, only my government is small. I wanna whisper sweet anti-immigrant, homophobic, racist, xenophobic nothings into your ear. How about you and me go have sex – lights out, missionary position, for the sole purpose of reproduction? I wanna unravel your conspiracy so my revolution can erupt all over you. The …

The first ever Tea Party Convention will take place in Nashville next month with Sarah Palin and World Net Daily founder Joseph Farah billed as its headliners. The event will also feature prominent speakers such as Rep Michele Bachmann, R- Minn.; Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.; WND columnist Judge Roy Moore; Phil Valentine, popular radio talk-show host and author of “The …

Here’s TeaParty.org founder Dale Robertson expressing himself at a rally. Not too surprising, is it?

On the one year anniversary of Obama’s swearing-in, the teabaggers are planning a national strike against American companies. “The greatest confrontation in the modern history of America.” SRSLY.

“Let’s face it FRiends, if the unconstitutional healthcare bill passes, the socialist coup d’etat will have advanced well beyond the point of no return! There is nothing in the constitution that authorizes this illegal federal power-grab and plenty that forbids it. If the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Marxist attempted coup pulls this off without the people resisting to the hilt, then they’ll have …

A Rasmussen poll released last week shows that more conservatives align themselves with the Tea Party than with the Republicans. Running under the Tea Party brand may be better in congressional races than being a Republican. In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate …
