Ah, those wacky right-wingers. They never tire of gimmickry. Teabagging on April 15, the date when federal income taxes are due. Unfortunately for them, their anti-tax, anti-domestic spending, message will be a bit garbled.
Here it is in a nutshell:
"It's going to be teabagging day for the right-wing and they're going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the teabaggers are full-throated about their goals.
"They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending - spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan," Shuster continued. "They oppose Mr. Obama's tax rates - which will be lower for most of them -- and they oppose the tax increases Mr. Obama is imposing on the rich, whose taxes will skyrocket to a rate about 10 percent less than it was under Reagan."

The original Boston Tea Party was for the purpose of protesting taxation without representation. Apparently, the teabaggers are just protesting taxation. They can't swallow the thought of some rich person having to pay one more dollar in tax.
