I just got an automated phone call that said "America, are you aware of what's happening across our country?" and then something about tea bagging. It was a very brief call and it ended with "Wake up."
Has anyone else received a call like this? The number that it came from is 281-791-0052

Not yet, and hope I don't. The nutjobs are out in force. In case you are curious, The Tea Party Movement: Who's In Charge?, The Atlantic. And you should really watch/read this, "Tea Bagging" Rallies Ruthlessly Mocked on Rachel Maddow Show, Huffington Post. I mean, seriously, are these people so incredibly stupid that they do not know the modern urban usage of "Teabagging"? That was almost as funny as the rabid anti-gay nutjob gruup National Organization for Marriage using the term "2M4M" for their rally.... get it?
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Yep. I looked at Malkin's site just for fun. She's rabid! Claiming that ACORN will be disrupting the rallies tomorrow. The Atlantic article says the GOP isn't involved but look at this.

Not only that, but FAUX NEWS is pimping it on every show! News results for tea party fox news; Media Matters: "Fair and balan... promotes "tea party" protests Fox News has in dozens of instances provided attendance and organizing information for future protests, such as protest dates, locations and website URLs. Fox News websites have also posted information and publicity material for protests. Fox News hosts have repeatedly encouraged viewers to join them at several April 15 protests that they are attending and covering; during the April 6 edition of Glenn Beck, on-screen text characterized these events as "FNC Tax Day Tea Parties." Tea-party organizers have used the planned attendance of the Fox News hosts to promote their protests. Fox News has also aired numerous interviews with protest organizers. Moreover, Fox News contributors are listed as "Tea Party Sponsor[s]" on TaxDayTeaParty.com.

Here's another take on the Teabagging by the GOP/Conservatives; Jon Stewart/The Daily ShowThe GOP may put comedy writers out of a job...

I'm filming one of the Tea Parties in Burleson TX tomorrow.
I'm still debating whether to bring the good camera or not, as I wonder if things will get hectic.
Still, Texans are hung up about the "size thing" and my good camera is the size of a missile launcher while my small camera is just a very nice HD pocket camcorder that looks like anything one would see in a Best Buy.
The larger one will command more respect as it usually does, but I don't feel like risking anything happening to it.
That's why I got out of freelance stringer work years ago.
The LA riots almost cost me quite dearly!
Anyway if I get anything worth looking at the results will be up on HuffPo ASAP. It should wind up as a five minute news piece pretty much.

Perhaps someone should warn these 'teabaggers' that this White House may have teeth...
