'Nuf said
before they teabag us!"
Hillarious. I had to wipe the Diet Coke off of the screen before I could post. Damned near choked to death. I needed that. Thank you Tom Tomorrow.
Teabaggers of the world unite!
Priceless. Tom Tomorrow our hero!
That's the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, isn't it? Perhaps Tom wasn't sure how to make a "rodeo clown" generally recognizable (I know I wouldn't be). The Mad Hatter works. And perhaps we can have Joshua Goldberg as Humpty-Dumpty:`When I use the word "fascism,"' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.' `The question is,' said Alice, `whether you can make words mean so many different things.' `The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master - - that's all.'
What's Tom Tomorrow's FARK handle?
Perfect.
And Karl Rove absolutely has to be the Cheshire Cat, vanishing slowly, until only his bile remained.
And brought us the wonders of:
The Civil War!

Capital Punishment!
and freed us from the terrors of:
National Health Care!

Gay Rights!
Americans' righteous anger knows no bounds and no logic.

Or just play Halo on Xbox Live for any duration of time.
HUUUUUAAALLLLGH!
I should have noticed the hat band. Hmmm mercury poisoning? It would explain a lot because fer sure that guy is seriously deranged , not Hannity, Billo the Clown blowhard acting deranged, but All American needs -to-be-medicated batshit crazy.
Do you think he knows how famous he is?
Where's the Warriors paint huffer guy?
I really liked this one (like most of them, actually). But today's is a classic. Way to go Tom.
I thought the dude in the background of the last panel could have been saying 'They took our jobs!' (from a Southpark episode that involved some 'teabagging' for those wondering).
... when cartoonists and comedy writers will have to do more than simply report current events, verbatim, to get laughs.
Outrage over the stamp act, and the original tea party itself was largely the result of profiteers seeking to corner the market and make a great deal of cash at the expense of their "fellow patriots" I can think of few protests more approrpiate.
"Love the cameo by the 'get a brain! morans' guy
Do you think he knows how famous he is?"
So this was a real-life* guy - who actually had that on a sign and not just an interwebs comment? I don't doubt it at all, but if there's a picture somewhere I haven't seen it and I'd love to.
*Notice I didn't say he has any connection with reality other than his existence.
Oh yes, he is very real. Google image search for that text will bring up the many images/references to him, but here's the pic:

He even has an urban dictionary entry!

I love a good teabagging joke.
As much as I hate seeing the Mad Hatter, one of my faves, portrayed as that nincompoop Glenn Beck, I do like the costume. It actually looks like a cross between the Mad Hatter and the 6th Doctor Who.
"Get A BRAIN! MORANS" guy should have hired Joe the Plumbers publicist. Oh what could have been...
Glen Beck is so crazy, just sooooo crazy. If you could distill crazy down into its purest form and then turn that into a person you would get Glen Beck, God help us all
First of all the Republicans are citing bad history. The Boston Tea Party was not a protest against taxation. The British actually removed a tax on tea making tea from the British empire cheaper than smuggled tea that many merchants in Boston were selling. The "tea party" was an attempt to rig the market place. (Of course I might add that only a few privileged merchants had a right to sell tea at all, so that was also part of the tea party protest.
THAT SAID. I really am disturbed that the modern day tax protesters aren't sending ME any tea. I drink green tea on a regular basis (It's good for you.) and rather than sending tea to liberal Congressmen, why don't the tax protesters send tea to ME?? I will be specific. I only want sealed packages of green tea- Green tea only. No loose tea bags.
Some needs to set up a some sort website where those of us who want green tea can contact the right-wing tax protesters to get some tea. Just think how that would stimulate the econmy!! By giving ME a year's supply of green tea, I can afford to spend my money one something else. More green tea for ME = more disposable income = more spending = more JOBS. I'd urge all other progressives to follow my example. Make my TEA GREEN - PLEASE.
More power to him.
I can envision the last gasp of the rabid, idiot right wing happening just as news of the spectacle of Beck and buddies teabagging in public all day to protest against Obama.
I wonder if he's going to hold his protest in West Hollywood? :)
and it's even funnier the second time!
Yeah, Tom Tomorrow must be a Farker. His humor is perfectly suited, but this seals the deal.
Get a brain, morans!
Unless they are too good to clean bed pans.
..."I love Glenn Beck's sanity so much....and I fear for it"[sob]
That shoe fits. Getting corporate interests dressing as Indians? That's where it gets trippy.
You just settle down with that ol' "dissent", and let Big Brothers Peon/Shills do all that nasty ol' "thunken" for ya'!!!
It'll allll be better, then; even the naughty little man in your head! You know, the one who told you to kil......
Don't you know REAL Amerikkkans when you see them, Mr. so-called 'Tomorrow'?
Why, you ACT LIKE in YOUR Future....the streets would flow with honey, or something, you, you, you......COMMIE!
Love 'Colbert-ing' you!
