Wonkette
Wonkette operative “Laura” sends this cell-phone shot from the High Desert stucco ghetto of Victorville, California. This is one of the lamest fucking places in America, the fat diabetic heart of the housing collapse, basically everyone is on the dole — military pension, social security, disability, etc. — so of course it’s hard-core wingnut land. This is the kind of place where you see new Ron Paul 2008 posters stapled up on the phone poles to replace the ones that blew away. The signs these teabaggers are waving say “HONK IF YOU LOVE COCK.”
That is so obviously a former Burger King.
You have exposed the dirty little secret of California, which is that as long as you stay within 50 miles of the coast, you’ve got blue-state, latte-sipping, fruits-and-nuts liberals.
But if you journey inland to the Victorvilles and Fresnos and San Bernardinos, you’ve got Kentucky.

Andrea… stock up on your favourite weapon ammunition… get good solid gun training such as that offered by a group: frontsight.com. At least buy a good guard dog for your fenced in yard; use your weapon of choice only as a last resort. And watch your friends, especially the liberal ones… Make sure your telephone is not bugged… have at least 6 months worth of water and food stocked away (got this idea from the LDS church… and that is old school).
This sure sounds far fetched and Conspiracy Theory does’t it?!
I do not nor have been a member of the communist party… oops that tags me as being a right ring extremist! But this may come as a shock to everyone: I am not a John Bircher…
But I believe in God, the sovereignty of our US of A; the Constitution; and this administration: maybe just maybe the Antichrist…. hmmmmm….

From Fox News…
Yeah, I know that this person cannot get out of his seat because he is such a fat ass…but still. Someone should run a search on posts and see how many times “Civil War”, “Guns” and “Revolution” are put in posts.
CaliforniaMike: Yep, it’s our dirtiest little secret.
Well, who doesn’t love cock, really?
BK CHICKEN FRIES!
BK CHICKEN FRIES!
BK CHICKEN FRIES!
BK CHICKEN FRIES!
NOBAMA!
Can this glorious day get any better? No, no, it cannot. I see the scrotum of America today and it smells like freedom!
What did that poor BBQ store do to deserve having these fools standing in front of it?
This is just like 1773, when five sober guys in business-casual dress threw a hundred drums of barbecue sauce into the San Francisco Bay to protest having to pray to Mecca five times daily. Did I pass my citizenship test?
CaliforniaMike:
Yea. And since Ken is in California we’ll let him slide on this.
But if it was Sara or Jim well … hell I don’t know.
Gopherit: How could you not?
Anyone who is out there protesting today–especially the assholes who three things onto the White House grounds–are assholes, psychos, and should be thoroughly ashamed of their idiotic selves. Really, people: get real. What a bunch of morons.
HAHAHA THAT IS THE BEST ONE YET.
Also, ShortsandPants is offcially BLOWING UP with photos:
http://www.shortsshortsshorts.com
EVERY POST today is devoted to this nonsense. Feel free to STEAL our photos, anyone and everyone. All but one are directly from readers.
The Helvetica Scenario: It was a Burger King that had to close because they couldn’t find anyone to work there at $15 an hour flipping burgers. Three years later, the people who live there would kill each other for a $15 an hour job flipping burgers.
twowheeljunkie: I’ve been to Victorville. It reminds me of that desert-y type town Tobey and Reese lived in before Don Knotts sucked them into the TV and sent them to Pleasantville.
Rubber chicken anuses are *SO* last year’s apparel.
why don’t you ever report on what’s going on in America’s homeland, Mexico?
Honest to fuck, I haven’t been following this teabag kerpuddle at all, and now my ownest shark god Layne can’t zip his trap about it, and now I’m afeared.
What the fuckety fuck’s going to come out of this, Texas secedes? If so, is that really something to be concerned about?
Everyone reply directly to me so I feel welcome. I mean, because I’m afeared.
CaliforniaMike: With the appropriate exceptions of Orange County and most of San Diego County, though they are less wingnut and more rich Republican types.
who is 33Geeper on huffpost?
Honk if you love turfing astrocock.
shortsshortsshorts:
Funnee! Oh not that Freedom Fries crap again! That is so 2002!
Viva La Will Ferrell!

I want to see a blown up version of Paul Krugman, so I can have some fun tonight! Puleaze teabaggers!
Jim is for the gays: not stalking, just couldn’t miss the TruckNutz references
Fuck this!
I am walking down there, cumming in a nice pocket sized tupperware container and adhering cat hair to all three of their 72′ Chevy Citations’ door handles.
Victorville = poor man’s Stockton.
shortsshortsshorts: That Urkel picture is pretty fun, I must say.
*uc*!!!! My *eybo*r* i* bro*en.
Jim is for the gays: A Paultard! Welcome. And do please keep having protests.
You think that is lame, you should see the wingnuts in Wenatchee, Washington. This morning there were two guys out with signs. Only one was confirmed as a registered sex offender and child porno lover. Didn’t get confirmation on the other guy. Why is it that most of these people that are complaining about taxes don’t look like they worked or paid taxes in a very long time?
Why do I think all these people in the pic have dogs and jumbo-sized jars of peanut butter?
problemwithcaring: Very poor man’s Stockton. Victorivlle is the Gastonia, North Carolina, of the West.
haha CharlotteTardz. NASCAR IS MAKING YOU GAYER.
I just got a chance to hear Hannity. It sounds like everyone is a little underwhelmed by attendance, so they are trying to talk it up. So you got a guy calling in to Hannity talking about how the crowd is smart because there are all these signs with “long, complex sentences on them,” and they are not just saying something simple like “Yes We Can!”
Because as we all know, nothing gets attention more than a long, complex sentence on a protest sign:
In terms of IRC Sec. 3, sub section A, we must disagree with the administrations change in policy to derecognize two long held interpretations. Truck Nutz! Also!
I stopped at a Circle K in Victorville once to get coffee so I could stay awake long enough to drive the fuck outta there.
from Wikipedia:
On November 19, 1954, Sammy Davis, Jr. almost died in an automobile accident in Victorville on a return trip from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Davis lost his left eye as a result, and wore a glass eye for the rest of his life.
“Honk if you want to see us teabagging, right here on the street!”
CaliforniaMike: I’ve stoped in Victorville on the way to Las Vegas many times. Never ventured more than a 1/4 mile from the 15 though.
comradepaulson: This has been one hell of a day.
Ah, Victorville. A friend taught at the high school there for one year before fleeing for her sanity. In front of the school, the bus stop had a huge ad for the NRA, with a scantily-clad slut pulling an automatic pistol out of her garter belt. H-O-T.
I cannot WAIT for Jon Stewart tonight.
AfghanVet: The Left claimed Bush shat on the Constitution.
Now the right is playing the same tune.
I can only say “WTF”
I’m sure a lot of these protesters are actually sucking on the Federal teat. The only reason they’re not living under a bridge is because of the taxes that pay for those services.
chascates: Even those bridges were paid for by tax dollars. Hobo beans probably. Also.
I don’t even understand this nonsense.
The taxes this year are the same as the taxes last year. The taxes people are paying this year were set during the Bush Administration on money earned during the Bush Administration.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING? AND WHY IS THE MEDIA DOING ANYTHING BUT MOCKING THEIR IDIOCY?
The former Burger King or whatever actually has two businesses in it. At least from the other one “patio covers & enclosures” you probably can’t get hepatitis, though. Still, if you can get some cock in the men’s room of Island BBQ, perhaps it’s worth the risk.
IceCreamEmpress: Never let facts fuck up a good rage.
Victorville is such ass. When I lived in Salt Lake City, I’d drive through there on the way to visiting my girlfriend in San Diego. I never stopped, because it looked like a poorer, uglier version of Fresno.
The sad thing is that the scenery out in that arid part of CA is kind of gorgeous, once you take away all the military bases, strip malls, and wingnuts. Drive up 395 sometime, preferably at dusk. Truly beautiful part of the country.
Jim is for the gays: Hoho! I get it, because Carlos Mencia isn’t funny at all! Hooray for semi-relevant topical references to comedians who were on basic cable networks last year!
Gallowglass: Why am I hearing this in the voice of the arabic worked who explains jokes on the family guy?
This is an ASTROTURF protest (astroturf = fake grassroots). I wouldn’t call it the “lamest” teabagging party in America so soon - I’m sure there are plenty of other even more pathetic teabagging orgies - I mean protests, that can compete with this one.
bago: That was how I imagined it too, actually.
CaliforniaMike: Victorville is a bit of a special case. Along with its neighboring hobo-camp-strip-malls out on the high desert it’s where constitutionally angry guys who went through ugly divorces down in the great suburb that makes up 95% of Los Angeles seek bitter refuge. They’re pissy and alimony poor, and they move up there where it’s relatively cheap in the 115 degree heat, and they drink and take&bake meth and collect firearms and ruminate/fulminate on their misfortune, which they blame on their ex-wives and their delinquent children and the government and the immigrants. Lovely place.
Here’s what the Libertarian Party sent me this morning. (I was a registered Libertarian for a long time … until I realized Libertarians are just Neocons — mostly young males — who want to smoke pot, smoke tobacco in restaurants, and get abortions for their girlfriends.)
Note the reference to “Millions of Libertarians and other advocates of economic liberty”, including “Hundreds”!!! just “yards from the White House”. *HUNDREDS!!!* OMG, HUNDREDS!!!!
But not particularly their outrage that Obama isn’t quaking in his boots. How arrogant Obama must be not to FEAR THEM!! Yeah. Millions. That’s the ticket. Go, grass roots.
Sigh.
Here it is. Prepare to laugh:
********************************************************
From the desk of Robert Kraus:
Dear ****My Real Name****
Call it “arrogance you can believe in.”
Millions of Libertarian and other advocates of economic liberty are gathered in thousands of parks, town squares and plazas across America to send one clear message – taxes, spending, deficits and bailouts are out of control.
And yet Barack Obama says he’s “unaware of tea parties” – even though there is one happening right now across the street from the White House!
I say we send Barack Obama a message he can’t ignore – by electing more Libertarians this year, and in 2010!
The president may be able to pretend millions of fed-up Americans don’t exist, and support for his big taxes, big spending and nationalization of health care is universal…
…but he can’t ignore poll numbers.
After hearing Barack Obama coldly dismiss the opinions of million of Americans, I am driven more than ever to build a Libertarian Party that elects the kind of people who will stop his agenda?
Can you make that happen by clicking here and rushing me your best gift of $15, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000 or $2500.
Your support will allow us to distribute more literature, sign up more members, recruit more candidates and buy more advertising and run better campaigns.
I can’t believe the president would be so arrogant as to have his press secretary say he’s “unaware” of millions of Americans protesting in thousands of cities.
I say we make him pay attention – by growing the Libertarian Party and electing Libertarians.
Can I count on you to click here and rush me your best gift of $15, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000 or $2500 so we can elect Libertarians and make Obama listen?
In liberty,
Robert Kraus
Acting Executive Director, Libertarian National Committee
P.S. Millions of Americans are protesting right this minute over Barack Obama’s huge taxes, spending and deficits — including hundreds just yards from the White House…
…and yet Obama has the arrogance to say he’s completely “unaware” of them? I say we send him a message he can’t ignore — by growing the Libertarian Party, running winning campaign and electing the kind of people who will oppose his budget-busting agenda.
****MY REAL NAME****, please make that happen by clicking here and rushing me your best gift of $15, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000 or $2500 or whatever you can afford today?
Make that “note particularly their outrage” …
Obama’s response to the teabaggers, a.k.a. part of the reason I want to teabag him in this moment (not really, Michelle’s too awesome. But still, kudos to Obama on the slap down)

Dave J.: We used to have the most beautiful dance parties out in the dry lakebeds near the 395. But the local cops hated and feared us, ’cause we didn’t have lots of alcohol, guns, sand toys, and meth, like *normal* people are supposed to have when they go out to the desert!
Just soundsystems.
And pot.
How evil, huh?
Jim is for the gays: Yes, you’ve hit the nail on the head. I’m angry because you don’t talk like a faggot. You’ve got a lot of anti-homosexual hostility. Compensating much?
Thank god I got out of that hell hole.
B-but Victorville is Roy Rogers’ home town! Come on, Ken — haven’t you seen Trigger at the Museum?
CaliforniaMike: Kentucky? No, inland California is more like Alabama, only without trees until you get to Tahoe. Kentucky’s kinda nice in spots.
I’m kinda sad that this is the best caliber of troll that wonkette pulled in today. Fat jokes are so 2008.
greensprout: All the good trolls are off at teabagging rallies. Maybe they’ll be on later.
Jim is for the gays: Bye lamer.
Ken Layne: Awww. Can he play later?
greensprout: You know, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the turnout for these teabagging dealies is so low and our trolls are so pathetic, since World of Warcraft released a big new patch last night.
Ken Layne: Awww, but he was so cute.
V572625694: Eastern Kentucky maybe. I’ve been to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby and Frankfort for the Final Four (Villanova over Georgetown, 1985). But isn’t the rest of the state guys with two or three teeth who sit around drinking ’shine out of Mason jars?
CaliforniaMike: I someone originally from Eastern Kentucky, I can say that yes you are exactly right. Also, Frankfort is a hole. I think you are confusing it with Lexington, which is only kind of a hole.
V572625694: As a native of one of the “hobo-camp-strip-malls” out Victorville way, I can tell you that the Roy Rogers Museum has been relocated to Branson, MO. Yup, we got outclassed by Branson.
I don’t have time to read the article or the comments - can somebody just tell me if Sponge Bob survived?
KeithinWash: So, they’re teabagging in Wesnatchee, eh? How d’ya like them apples.
