Mark Fiore does not argue a issue he just name calls. Just like all liberals he has lost and there is nothing else to do.

Btw- No ones ever heard of you.

IMPEACH b. HUSSEIN obama

What a waste of time. because. the tea party is not going anywhere.They are just now shifting gears.First they take down the libs in Nov. after that we get the big one. you know,2012. So try and try but you will fail fail fail. The genie is out of the bottle. Don't you people ever learn.

These folks act as if America did not try living without many of our laws or social services
But in reality our 1st 100-150 years were just that on a 24 hor basis, but as human natures Horrific abuses of the common people (which is an obvious result when allowing the rich & powerful to do whatever they like
24-7) & if you think its any different in the modern world,
Many of your fellow tea heads are walking prime examples of why the dangers are just as great-
( The example being the modern era's dirt poor 'American Conservative Propaganda victims who sadly walk around all day with their minds having been replaced by endless regurgitation's of recent FOX/GOP & AM Hate Radio broadcasts ,all the while complaining about issues that have absolutely nothing to do with their own situations.
Without laws & control systems , those in a position too, can & will manipulate financial market systems for their own gain regardless of the nations peril until anarchy rules the day.

The thought that the " Leave us alone" system of economics did not already demonstrate its glaring short comings is either spewed from the holes of those who are dying to impose such abuses (The 1% Trillion-ares) or are simply childlike in their ignorance regarding our countries history (Like your hero Glen Beck who creates his own versions of history ) regardless of any pesky facts. (This is why he has to lie about FDR & his efforts to clean up the mess left by the very people who serve as warnings from our past)

What the f--k?

A Constitutional analogy that liberals might understand.

Imagine that you and several associates enter into an unbreakable lifetime contract to set up a charity to feed the poor. You set up a charter, a mission statement and establish rules to change the established methods and practices of the charity. You elect an "executor" to carry out the mission of the charity. The charter and contract (which you cannot break) says that you must give 20% of your gross income to the treasury which will then be used to feed the poor. For a time, the executor carries out the duties of his office faithfully, but after a while, in addition to buying food for the poor, he buys firearms for them "so they can protect themselves". Let us say that you disagree with this and resent the fact that your money is going to this purpose. When the executor comes up for election again, he retains his seat, because the majority of the members agree with his "pro gun" rhetoric. The majority does not have enough votes to satisfy the rules for changing the mission statement to include buying guns. So you have a situation where an organization is taking the money of a member and the executor uses that money in a manner that, not only does the member disagree with, but that is outside the authority of the office of that executor to perform. Whether or not the majority agrees with the executor's policy, the executor does not have the authority to act in a manner beyond the written methods and practices of the charity. Would you seek to find a replacement for the executor who has overstepped the authority you gave him to act on your behalf, or would you just sit back, shut up and pay for a policy you disagree with?

This is the situation we constitutional conservatives find ourselves in. The constitution is the charter and rules and the government is the executor. No matter how much any majority wants the government to do a thing, if it falls outside the specific authority that the constitution spells out, It is outside the authority of government to act.

Yes, these "teabag" types are unfit to be fellow citizens, or vote for our leaders, but unfortunately there seem to be a lot of them. Mostly in the South. How about we cut them loose, let them have their own country their own way, and also pay the 7 trillion dollar bill they racked up during the reign of the murderous war criminal G. W. Bush? We could probably get Universal Healthcare going up North here within the year if we get rid of the nutjobs. We should start a program that encourages the greedy right-wing nutjobs to move to Florida and Texas. The zero state income taxes down there should appeal to their greed (nevermind the lack of public services, they like that!). Say, how much would Mexico pay us for Texas, anyway? Would it repay for Iraq, the tax cuts for the rich, and the bailouts? We could throw in Florida, maybe Mexico and Cuba could split the cost, divvy up the land, and we could give them a 30-year mortgage on it (heh heh, how apropos)...

Brilliant!

I love you, Mark. Thank you for bringing humor to what up until now I have found as a completely depressing devolution of our national "values." It makes me feel sick to my stomach that these people consider themselves patriotic... psychotic maybe, but patriotic- not a chance. The violent nature of some of the commentaries here illustrate that. It feels very liberating to be able to laugh at how crazy our Country can be. Thank you so much.

good stuff...
right on target!

Hilarious! I especially love the angry and muttering teabag at the beginning.

Geithner Needs Your Help!!!

your sure get a lot of opinionated, one eyed people commenting on here...their comments are almost as funny as you

Hilarious

just because it is animated, has bright colors & has a condescending soundtrack complete with a lame laugh track does not automatically qualify a cartoon as funny no matter what the topic. unfortunately, this is true of this "tea bag" cartoon. it is a snide, shallow, swipe at humor that deprives fiore's fans of his usual wit. it's almost like he felt obliged to do a "tea bag" item and this was his half-hearted offering.

seriously, this was a sad, intellectually inept, humorless effort...yawn...

Lack of wit.totally simplistic.no sarcasm.just plumb stupid cartoon.

The so-called conservatives who are objecting to this must not listen to the nasty, mostly unfounded sack of crap coming from the mouths of the hundreds of conservative talk show hosts each day. This is funny. None of the crap coming from Limburger, Ins-Hannity, Laura, etc.etc. etc. is even remotely funny. It's just small minded paranoia, feeding small-minded paranoids so they keep buying their small-minded, selfish, un-Christian thoughts in any form profitable.
Repuglicans and neo-ConJobs are like school yard bullies; they can dish it out, but cry like babies when someone stands up to them.
Three cheers Fiore!

I'd rather be sucking on the governments b--s than taking their d--k in the a-- . . . keep bending over America and watch what happens! Does your low opinion of Americans fighting for their rights translate to gay activists and hyphenated americans? Oh wait . . . let me guess, that question makes me a racist homophobe???

Fiore sees hate and hatefully tosses 'jokes' around. Now hate is funny, see!
Would you like fries with that?

All Tea Baggers want is to live in a country that:

(1) has NO Income Tax, or any other taxes
(2) has NO gun laws !
(3) the government is not passing stupid health care laws

Fortunately, such a country exists !

It is called Somolia.

I suggest all Tea Baggers move there immediately !

The worst part probably is that this guy is sitting there waiting for comments as a total narcissist. I remember in school watching professors look sadly on cartoons that can never truly rise to the level of being art.

This stuff is just more liberal media rubbish off the same assembly line that produced "Mama voted for Obama," (red line underneath "Obama" Ironically, technology is still not accepting Obama) National Enslavement of the Arts Propaganda movement, etc. There are lots of flashy colors, I am noticing at the sidebar where it says: "Torture US Troops." Mark is sadly stuck on Bush.

I'm surprised that San Francisco hasn't fallen into the pacific ocean already, or been burned to the ground. Perhaps this is the only website which is operated from an airliner restroom over Detroit. Oh, well it is in fact the same motivation at its core.

Oboobma's schemes to destroy America will fail. Give me liberty or give me death!

Time to withdraw funding for public radio and web sites such as this. Isn't it ironic that tax payer money is being wasted to ridicule the people who are complaining about wasted tax money? Mark Fiore, aren't you ashamed of yourself for being part of the problem? Or are you just to happy to be making a crap load of cash while the left cheers you on? No need to answer.

When the morons began to call them selves "tea baggers" all bets were off. How could they not know that this term was already defined? Really, in my mind it is the biggest joke of the decade. Hey, I have a tea bag for ya! Come on over, we can have a tea party! Cheers!

A rigged game

In some industries, rigging the game is called collusion. In our nation, where we're looking at corporate entities obtaining civil rights akin to individual rights, it's about extreme power differential.

Pure profit motive and predatory capitalism should not be the model for our healthcare. This type if ethos falls far short and the ironic bit is those who expolit systms make enough where they seldom have to deal with their own systems' shortcomings.

It's a rigged game and many on the right are playing classic tricks of misdirection with financially driven hidden agendas- stuff that has little to do with the many loaded words used at will (liberty, justice, freedom).

The systems seem to rule, just like the corporations. Hell, I work for the entropic governmen- but who else can put the brakes on? Granted, they're as dirty (both sides) as anyone else, but how else are you gonna fix things?

Oh sure, it's easy to scream Socialist- especially when certain pretend news channels are feeding the hate, their corporate sponsors fearing losing billions. The worst of it is what happens if those they stir run amok- to the point that Conservative leaders can't even control them?

BTW- ain't it funny the Right goes on and on about people sponging off the systems of care when this is a pittance considering the $$$ corporations make off of an extremely rigged game? Kinda like the Right's repugnance at evolutionary theory but marriage to social darwinism when it comes to healthcare.

For teabaggers, it doesn't have to make sense, just yell loudly, inflate your numbers, and carry a BIG STICK (compensation for a short stick, perhaps?)...
