If I were going to start some kind of movement built for the specific purpose of putting the fear of Cthulhu into politicians, opposing political factions, or small yappy-type dogs, I’d come up with a symbol that projected strength and manly resolve; like an eagle clutching lightning bolts on a field of blood-red stars or a wolverine wearing a flag for a cape and riding on a Harley… or some kind of shit like that. But the RedState NinjaWarriors of the Obamalypse, well, that’s not how they roll:
Coffee Tea Mugs of Doom, y’all.

The Boston Douchebag Party?
Those look like little bags of steer manure. Is Red State now trying to sell bullshit instead of merely posting it?
Can’t you hear the chants? “Give me Darjeeling, or give me death!”
Apparently, their brains have been steeping too long.
I told you, this whole tea bag symbolism just isn’t working for them.
Hmm. I would have suggested Celestial Seasonings’ Morning Thunder. It rolls trippingly off the tongue when holding an AK-47 aloft with one hand. But they didn’t ask me.
“I only regret that I have but Tazo Chai Latte to give my country.”
You.Are.Making.This.Up.
oh, guess you aren’t.

Ever notice how much TBogg sounds like T-Bag? Just what have you been doing with those things?!
Awe. Some. Tea bags of DOOM!!!
At least mailing teabags to elected officials should be both cheaper and more environmentally sound than the toy balls and silly putty.
You laugh now, but with the right vessel, “2 RedState Boyz, 1 Cup” could be a big fundraiseing vehicle for them with their established base. The teabagging would be a comparatively normal touch, given the genre.
I think they may be the Republican Skoal. You know those little packets of bull shit that they place between their cheek and gum?
This latest Red State PR disaster is teh awesomest ever: their new insignia looks like an east block ad for herbal remedies or feminine hygiene products made out of recycled plywood — damn, that’s fear-inducing.
Seriously, wtf? Look at hamas, hezbollah, al-queda — all the bad boys have kick-ass logos with crossed swords, clutched fists, ak-47s or wicked and intimidating color schemes. even the zapatistas realized they had to at least at a machete to the corn cob on their logo. Isn’t a single one of their dozen or so members proficient enough in photoshop to whack together something that doesn’t look like a 3rd graders show-and-tell poster about the benefits of compost?
I don’t think the teabag thing is working for them. Have they considered loose tea? Also, why is their logo tea so reddish? Check your color filters, boys.
What historical significance do teabags have, anyway? Seems like in revolutionary times, tea-balls were used. Good luck to them finding their tea-balls.
Well at least they’re not the Red Bulls of Doom
People!
Remember, some of us out here are tea drinkers. All these “tea-baggings” create images that are just waaaaayyyy too scary. (Tea-balls are just way too far outside the norm here in this newly civilized (?) part of the US).
And where are the scones? By Dog, Red State can’t even do this right!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
What kind of “separation” does Red State seek?
Fucking traitors.
And then there is the hilarity that ensues when you mention “tea-bagging” to college age partiers. It has a whole ‘nother meaning than what these douches intend, but strangely apropos, nonetheless.
“Though the spirit of douchebaggery last for a thousand years, yet future douchebags will say, *this* was their douchus maximus!”
(I was trying to get “we will fight them for the oolong” to work, but these goobers don’t give you much to work with)
Uh, shoving your head up your ass & cutting it off is good for the vision? I want all that money I spent on carrots back!
(Though I’m not certain that’s what E Plur means. A “cranialectomy” would be cutting off the adjectival form of the word “cranium,” wouldn’t it?)
“Red State Trike Force vs. 502nd Regiment…..Fight!”
(several howitzers fire)
“Fatality!”
Shorter Red State:
“Waaaaaaah. We got stomped in the last two elections and the libruls are being meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan to us.”
I think they mean to remove ones head from ones ass, but they cant even get their medical terminology correct. You dont “-ectomy ” things from the rectal lumen, you simply “remove” or “extract” the object.
Cant they do anything right?
You have to admit they chose a manly, steely, terrifying font.

I guess graphic designers, like web software engineers, are a bunch of liberals who won’t work for Red State for free.
cake or death …
cake, please.
I love the smell of Oolong in the morning.
