My Sister Is A Teabagger

And I don’t mean that she likes to have testicles lowered onto her face. Actually, I’d prefer that my sister regularly enjoyed a pair of testicles dangling on, in, or around her facial features. Instead, she prefers to do something completely disgusting and ridiculous.

Yes, she is “a person who protests President Obama’s tax policies and stimulus package, often through local demonstrations known as ‘Tea Party’ protests (in allusion to the Boston Tea Party of 1773).”

The Village Voice had this to say about her presence at a New York tea party this past winter:

This young woman said, “Obama made his big speech in Berlin, a lot of people in Germany were creeped out by that speech. You know why? He reminded them of someone from their past that shamed them a good deal. And he reminds me of him. I’m a Jewish-American and he scares the hell out of me! And you people who voted for him, you should be ashamed of yourselves!… I’m sorry if that’s shocking but that’s just how I feel!” The crowd let her know they did not take offense at her comparison of Obama to Adolf Hitler, crying “Never Again!”

That was in March of this year, well before this kind of unfounded vitriol took center stage this past August. Having someone so close to me habitually spew this venom puts the teabag nation further to the forefront of my consciousness than it should be. Hopefully, she’ll realize how ridiculous this is one day, but I doubt it. I wish she would just place hanging testicles in her mouth like a normal person.
