The Outrage of a Toad(y)

BowWow prepares for a heavy day of craven bootlicking.

Chris BowWow, the DNC lapdog, is bemoaning the potential loss a major anti-teaparty weapon from his potent pwoggie arsenal of justice and freedom. But let's let him explain in his own words:

The methodology by which progressive media has attempted to delegitimize the tea party has two main trhusts:
  1. Focus on how it was generated through large media and financial backing, rather than as a bottom-up, grassroots effort;
  2. Anecdotally focus on the craziest tea party protesters, implying that they are representative of the movement as a whole.
While #2 has been the most successful, the efforts of a progressive in Oregon is about to singlehandedly render it useless. By publicly declaring his intention to infiltrate the tea parties with protesters to use as anecdotes for #2, Jason Levin is going to call all anecdotal examples of tea party craziness into question, thereby legitimizing the tea party protests even more.


Teh horrors! How dare this non-pwogwessvie-sanctioned upstart deprive Chris BowWow and his mighty pwoggie klaque of kool kids of a successful bit of lying-ass scumbaggery! Harrumph!

The first point is true only insofar as it depends on the group you happen to be examining. TeaPartiers are hardly a cohesive bunch. But BowWow's second strategery has been around since Hector was a pup. Media outlets have been using the 'Lookit the Crazy!' hook since the days of Charlemagne. And it's just as scummy and dishonest now as it always has been. But then, scummy and dishonest are pwogwessive trademakes - along with bootlicking, hypocrisy and a poor sense of style.

  2. In fairness, the whole Tea party movement is a media and establishment-created faux populist charade, and a lot of Teabaggers are gullible, hostile fascist whack-jobs who are under the delusion that Obama is a socialist and war is peace.

    Kind of like the Democratic Party and its liberal supporters.

    As far as using agents provocateurs to engage in acts of assholery for the cameras, that is also a tried and true practice of the elite to delegitimize genuine populist movements, but if it works as well to get the liberals worked up in a lather why the hell not.

    In my view, most political movements and mass ideologies of both the Left and the Right in America today are largely generated by the elite to serve their interests, the Tea Party movement merely being more obviously so than some of the others. Any mass movement or ideology that seeks to divide us along lines or race, gender or the bogus left/right dichotomy should be treated as suspect and rejected out of hand.

  3. I think the guy's plan is excellent. He doesn't even have to infiltrate them now, but can sit back as the paranoid teabaggers cannibalize each other.

  4. Well, sure, to you and me BowWow's lame "Lookit the wingnut!" strateagery (get it? -teagery? Ha! I kill me!) is as transparent as a really really...um...transparent thing. But without the TeaBaggers, BowWow wouldn't have anyone with which to scare his jellyfish pwoggie-bloggie minions. I mean, have a heart, guys!

  6. It's not much different here in the Socialist Republic of Minnesota, Ms. X. But good on you and guspasho for stomping that idiot pwoggie flat in the comments.

  7. Just a heads-up, gang: I, along with a couple of comrades from the DC Indymedia and One Peoples' Project, plan on covering the DC Tea Party this afternoon down at the Monument Grounds.

    There was also posted, about a week ago, an action call for infiltration and counter-protests:

    http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/149007/index.php

    We also plan on covering the "Assemble And Muster" rally down at Fort Hunt Park, where a bunch of "Oath Keepers" types are claiming they'll show up armed, and march to Gravelly Point State Park, which is as close as you can get to DC and still be in Virginia (and which is also in the final approach path for National Airport):

    http://ladylibertyslamp.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/tea-bagger-terrorism/

    Then, on the 19th, we're covering a rally by a gaggle of Klansmen and Stormfront types at the South African Embassy, where they're honoring the memory of South African White Nationalist honcho Eugene Terreblanche, who was beaten to death by workers on his farm in a wage dispute a couple of weeks ago:

    http://ladylibertyslamp.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/ku-klux-klan-rally-in-washington-dc-this-saturday/

    ...and there's supposed to be a contingent of anarchists and folks from Anti-Racist Action from Philly coming down to confront them, so, we've got a good week of hilarity lined up.

    Why are we not covering the IMF/World Bank protests this year, you ask? Simple. It's going to be fucking lame, that's why. A bunch of ragtag, pasty, emaciated vegan wannabe "anarchists" staging some kind of fake Olympics called the "anticapitalathon" which we suspect will draw maybe a hundred people, tops.

    As I've been telling my DW when she whines about my covering the Teabaggers, "I'll start covering our side again as soon as our side gets off its ass and does something worth covering!"

  8. Actually, there was also a pretty good link posted in the comments on that BowWow entry:

    http://anarchistnews.org/?q=node/11017

    As usual, it's the anarchists -- of all people -- who have the most thoughtful, and organized, response.

  9. "On a related note:

    Perfect example of how the whole Teabagger thing gets blown out of proportion to serve as a distraction from His Holiness Saint Obushma's War of Interplanetary Liberation. All they need do is seed the crowd with a few schmucks carrying racist signs and watch the pwogs' heads explode. ZOMFG! RAAAAACIIIISTS! We need to protest this and play Scrabble afterwards!

    Not like there's anything racist about looking the other way while Saint Obushma assassinates another A-rab. Anyone with a towel on his head is fair game, especially if he says BAD THINGS about our courageous troops.

    I love how nobody can address your logic there, so they just try to force you into silence.

  11. Oops, sorry for double posting, first one didn't go through right away.

    That's because anarchists are fucking awesome.

    I helped cover the G-20 protests in Pittsburgh last year. A ragtag bunch of maybe 400 anarchists ran rings around ten time their number of cops and national guard for two days. How many cops does it take to control a group of teabaggers? Usually they don't even bother to show up. That's how docile the average conservatard is.

  13. Talk about docile. I covered the Tax Day Tea Party down at the Monument for the DC IMC, yesterday, and I can't begin to tell you how disappointing it was. Oh, there were the usual birthers and flat-taxers and amusingly misspelled signs, but the event being totally run by K Street -- i.e. FreedomWorks -- meant a really rather subdued atmosphere, whereas based on the last few Tea Party rallies I'd covered, I fully expected to be diving into a big ol' bucket o' zany. Michelle Bachmann was vacuous as usual, but never did spew out any of the amazingly weird statements that endear her to me; Andrew Breitbart put on his usual loony histrionics and hyperbole, but neither one of them really brought the crazy like I'd hoped they would:

    Lucky for me that I don't think the mods will toss you out of there for anything other than threats to another poster or blatant and repeated site spamming. The sheer amount of droolery there over Obama the Rockstar damn near drove me off for good back in '08/'09, so I was pleasantly surprised that guspacho wrote what they did in that thread-- depsite being an actual Obama voter.

    At the risk of offending with a four-letter words, it almost gives me... hope. :p

  15. Mike, F., how could you post that link and claim that Victoria Jackson isn't funny? That shit is fucking HILARIOUS!!

    Oh, yeah; Victoria Jackson was a real scream, though not in the way she may have intended. She was funny on SNL maybe the first couple of times I saw her, and then got tired of her really fast.

    Andrew Breitbart pretty much phoned in his performance as well. He just didn't sail off the edge of the Earth like I'd hoped. Perhaps he's remembering to take his Seroquel.
