Full Metal Saturday: Tea Party Reach-Around

I thought it'd be fitting to do a Tea Party extravaganza for today's Full Metal Saturday (it's a "Right-Wing Reach-Around" post for anti-tax extremists!). The beautiful woman here is attending an event in Des Moines, Iowa, via Glenn Reynolds. Call Janet Napolitano! (Oh, wait, maybe not!)

For some perspective, via Robert Stacy McCain, William Jacobson offers a take on the left's backlash to the anti-tax demonstrations: "When Fascism Comes To America, It Will Look Like Tea Party Crashers."

Now, let's go to some of our friends:
Freedom Eden provides a comprehensive Janeane Garafalo takedown, "Janeane Garofalo and Keith Olbermann: Racist Tea Party Goers," with transcription and video. Lance Burri, a Tea-Party blogging stalwart, took some time off for some "Rule 5" Padmi Lakshmi action! And well, so did Monique Stuart! ("Rule 5," not Padmi, that is.)

Now, check
Joy Kennelly in Hermosa Beach for some hot Victoria Jackson resistance! And boy, does the former SNL hottie sure know how to piss off the lefties!

And speaking of hot,
Duece at The Skeptocrats wants to know, "Are they watching Fox News with beer goggles? My outrage over “The 11 Hottest FOX News Reporters”." And Joy at Little Miss Attila show some links love to Ace of Spades on Tea Party "astroturfing." But don't miss my friend Joseph at Valley of the Shadow, who's getting into the spirit of '76! Speaking of valleys, Cranky Greg in Fresno has got some Central Valley Tea Party information as well (and lots more here).

Kate at an
Ol' Broad's Ramblings reports that the Nashville Tea Party turnout hit 10,000 activists, and she's got an awesome roundup of additional Tea Party posts. Ol' Broad reports that activists are planning another rally for April 24! And for a bit of a surprise, our old buddy Texas Fred got up off his fanny to do some Tea Partying! Way to go Fred! Now, if you could just get back to work securing our southern border I'd be mightly obliged!

My friend
Sarge Charlie's got some Tea Party photos ... no wait, it looks like Miss Bee's having a genuine tea party social, what the heck!

Okay, let's not get carried away!


Check out Dr. Rusty Shackleford, who's got some Dallas Tea Party action! And my good friend Skye is irrepressible! She and her Sheepdogs are getting together for another Tea Party in Philadelphia today! God, what a bunch of right-wing extremists! Hey, wait a minute: What about those left-wing extremists? They can't just run around shutting down free speech, you know! Er, better hold that thought for minute, yo Tom Tancredo! There's more on this: Check out Pundit & Pundette, "Media creeps should be fired for "tea-bagging" remarks." Also, Dave at Point of a Gun and Nice Deb have more!

Okay, that's getting back to some regular old politics, so check out Dan Collins', "
Stacy McCain Rouses the Rabble." You got that right ... that's, "The Other McCain" who's been getting all of us conservative bloggers linked up with some raging reach-around blogging! Check out Smitty's Tea-Party-palooza to see what I mean!

Until next week!


And as always, e-mail me with any posts I may have missed, and I'll add them here!

UPDATE: Hey, I almost forget the
Third Party Tea Party guy! And The Rhetorican! Don't miss The Vegas Guy as well! Ditto for Sister Toldjah, "Revealed: Photos of “bitter Americans” in Escondido, CA.

And check out Stephen Green's analysis of the lefty Tea Party smear campaign, "
Media Hacks Sandbag the Teabaggers," plus Sissy Willis, "The MSMs "day is done, yours is coming."
