Shuster: If you plan on ‘tea bagging all around the country, you’re going to need a Dick Armey.’

On MSNBC’s Countdown yesterday, David Shuster — filling in for Keith Olbermann — took Fox News to task for so aggressively promoting the right wing’s anti-Obama tea parties. Shuster pointed out that “tea bagging is not a spontaneous uprising,” adding:

The people who came up with it are a familiar circle of Republicans, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, both of whom have firm support from right wing financiers and lobbyists. … We can only speculate why widespread tea bagging made [Neil] Cavuto think of the Million Man march, unless he got them confused with Dick Armey. And in Cavuto’s defense, if you are planning simultaneous tea bagging all around the country, you’re going to need a Dick Armey.

    To be honest, I didn’t get it. Seriously, I didn’t.

    And I agree: stay classy, more about the issues and exposing deceptions… and less with the name calling and making fun of people.

    As much as I enjoy Olbermann for example, I cringe everytime he says “Billo the Clown” or “The Mannity.” It lessens his credibility, and my respect for him.

The Republicans are just so entirely bankrupt and dimwitted that they are actively advocating a pleasurable pastime that the gays have enjoyed for some time — tea bagging.

  39. Purple State says:

    I found myself wincing in an “Oooooh SNAP!” moment listening to this segment. A lot of heavy imagery towards the slang meaning of teabagging. I got a laugh out of it, and it left me feeling pretty guilty that I was enjoying a laugh at others’ expense. These are “tea parties” after all, not “teabagging parties”, as MSNBC has coined.

    However, MSNBC took the ball (the image of Griff Jenkins proudly holding his tea bags high with his three-cornered hat) and ran with it, so now one network tries to uplift the tea parties while one tries to minimize its expected effects. Perhaps if Griff was a little more serious about the whole concept in the first place…

    As much as Fox tries to lessen the negative connotations and insist it is not promoting the events, it is forever associated with the image from now on. The left will rightfully say that FNC is “a bunch of teabaggers”.

    Some pretty tongue-in-cheek language from David there. Of course, if Olbermann had said those lines, O’Reilly, Coulter, and Hannity would be stark-raving mad and demanding his head on a pike.

    ____________________________________________________________

    Valid point. But these carefully manufactured and choreographed “spontaneous grassroots” events are such a joke, I can’t fault people for treating them as such.

    Questions I would like to ask the protesters — most of whom probably won’t be able to give answers to them in their own words:

    1. Why do you believe you’re being “taxed to death”? President Obama only wants to raise the tax rate on income over $250,000 from 36% to 39%. This doesn’t even bring the tax burden up to Reagan rates. Furthermore, it won’t affect 95% of Americans at all. Did you know that the top tax bracket during Eisenhower’s time in the White House was over 90%? And our country prospered during the 1950s — in fact, I think that’s the decade all the conservatives want to go back to.

    2. Or maybe you’re here because of government spending? Wow — where have you been? We’ve been complaining about skyrocketing debt for about eight years now, and we never heard a peep from you. We still don’t like astronomical debt, but it’s necessary (and regrettable) that we HAVE to spend money to goose the economy after the last administration trashed it. At least we’re investing in ourselves instead of pouring our money into the black hole of stupid wars, so we actually have reason to believe we’ll get some return on our investment. How do you propose to fix our economy without stimulus?

    3. Or maybe you’re here because “Americans are having freedoms and liberties taken away from them.” Care to explain exactly what freedoms and liberties you’ve lost, or are in danger of losing?

    4. If you’re not here for any of the above reasons, why are you here?

    Unfortunately, the only questions that will ever be asked of the protesters will come from news media covering the event (mostly Fox News, no doubt), and they will just dutifully record people parroting wingnut talking points without challenge.

    You gotta remember, right wingers can’t think for themselves, so they need to rank everything so they will know what they are supposed to like. Ratings, sales figures, etc.

    By right winger logic, Brittany Spears is a great musician because she sold a lot of albums and Chick Corea ain’t sh!t because they never heard of him.

    It’s just the childish mindset of the typical right wing coward.

    I do agree that something just doesn’t feel right with The Ed Show, slippery. While he is an energetic fellow, it seems that television might not be his milleu.

    Anyways, back to the “Scoreboard!” argument; quantity does not equal quality. In other words, just knowing about the number of people who watch a program doesn’t equate to a 100% approval rating. Is a person with a 3-million person viewership and a 20% approval rating more popular than that who has a 1.5-million person viewership and a 50% approval rating?

    Fox knows how to sell their steak with tons of sizzle. That doesn’t mean the steak tastes great. That doesn’t mean that everyone who eats the steak loved it.

    Ok let me put this on a level that you can understand. When a person or a business acquires a large amount of debt, that debt needs to be paid somehow. SO.. that person or business either raises somehow or files bankruptcy. Now we have a Gov. who has a large amount of debt…..where do you think they are going to turn to raise that revenue. That idea is not a shot in the dark, it’s backed up historically and with the basic laws of economics. SOOOOOO this is to protest out of control spending that in the end will lead to more oppressive taxation than we already have.

    Doesn’t matter how you spell it, you have this idea that we exist in a vacuum. The spending going on now is a result of the economy being destroyed by Bush. When the government is the only institution apparently able to inject life into the economy (or else, why would companies come to washington for a bailout?), it needs to act. Taxes are necessary, and if you think it is oppressive to raise the top tax brackets % by 3 points, then you are an idiot of the first order.

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    Well lets see what did Donald Trump do last time HE was technically bankrupt. Did he cut his spending and sell some of his assets? Why NO he borrowed MORE from the banks and invested in a couple of NEW ventures that made enough money that he was able to pay off his debt.

    That idea is not a shot in the dark, it’s backed up historically and with the basic laws of economics. SOOOOOO this is to protest out of control spending that in the end will lead to more oppressive taxation than we already have.
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    That is your OPINION it may be right or it may NOT. The key here is PRODUCTIVE spending. What was the return on rural electrification? A HUGE investement it paid for itself MANY times over. Most of these people CERTAINLY the Fox talking heads didnt have much to say while Bush was doing UNPRODUCTIVE SPENDING. Pouring money down the rathole of Iraq for instance. Not a peep. NOW when Obama is trying to invest IN America they are screaming bloody murder. I think it is safe to say there is NOTHING Obama would have done Fox wouldnt be trashing. It is like the rightwing was cheering on their brother in law while he went into deep debt to add to his hubcap collection and playing paintball warrior all over the world. Enough debt that it will take him fifty years to pay it back. His WIFE has an opportunity to borrow some money to invest in a business that MAY allow them to pay off their debt in five or ten years and all of a sudden its NOOOOOO you guys are in debt.

The spending proposed is greater than every president before Obama combined. It doesn’t compare to any administration. It can’t even be compared to EVERY administration. We really do need to stop spending. We cannot sustain this kind of irresponsibility.

    Are the republicans secretly encoding a homoerotic fantasy with all the teabagging parties that are endorsed by dick armey?????

    Wonder how that is playing with the religious right…unless they are into it too!!

    I wonder if they will have Larry Craig humming a toe tapping rendition of “Rags to Riches” at a special airport teabag party tomorrow.

    I love Shuster. I DVR’d it and had to watch it over and over again.
