Gingrich Wants Teabaggers To Rise Up & Smash the System

by Ken Layne  7:42 am April 23, 2010

  • Swollen has-been and serial divorcer Newt Gingrich took a break from drooling on his Easter candies to tell a small crowd of wingnuts in York, Pennsylvania, that teabaggers will be useful as the “militant wing of the Republican Party.” Why does he want these nice old white ladies to turn away from their forwarded emails about Kenyan Socialists and actually lead a violent revolution? [TPM/York Dispatch]
  • After witnessing a thrilling American-style nationally televised political debate, the British are so excited about Labour, the Conservatives and that other party. Which of the Queen’s servants shall lead Britain to whatever national shame comes next? [BBC News]
  • Remember that pickup-driving confederate hero who learned everything he needed to know about the dirty muslins from the 9/11 news program? Some kind of Navajo Codetalkers figured out his license plate was a secret psalm to Adolf Hitler …. and Virginia, of all states, seized his personalized Hitler plates!

The message should be clear. Order Trucknutz or we report you to the DMV.

‘The White-Trash Jacobins,’ a revolutionary teabagger manifesto, by Newt Gingrich, PhD.

How did Newt get to Pennsylvania if the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles took his nifty license plate? He must have ridden on the back of that loveable giant teddy bear in the Continental Army uniform. Oh, how I love a parade of patriots all dressed up with nowhere to go!

It’s only fair since Iowa won’t let me have my LOLWTF plates.

that cute little island nation with all it’s plaid and stale beer scented drinking emporiums wants to play just like the big for real fuck ups.

There is a flaw to the Reese’s cup swallowing asshole’s plan. Does he honestly think that those olds are going to remain the militant base?

He forgot the obvious flaw in the plan. One thing Olds do well is that Olds die (sometimes the brain dies before the body.)

Unless Newty Toot can figure out a way to move minds to a new body (like Old Man’s War) then his idea of Nana shock troops dies like his novels, his political career, his many marriages, etc.

I’m glad Texas is too stupid to recall my 23IZPOO license plate.

I must say, I am somewhat impressed by the VA DMV. I didn’t have a fucking clue that 14CV88 meant anything at all.

freakishlystrong April 23, 2010 at 8:34 am

Oh Newt. It’s going to be really difficult to take seriously your militant wing comprised of scooters, Depends, “don’t tread on me” flags and furries.

red sky April 23, 2010 at 8:35 am

So the British are having lively political debates and
we’ve got Lord Poffy Pants speaking
at teabagger rallys? We’re doing it wrong. Revolution fail.

hoosiermama April 23, 2010 at 8:37 am

Neighbors on my street had (for a short time, anyway) a license plate that had “OMG” and “WTF” — it was a joy to behold every time I rode past. Too bad the dumbs at the DMV wised up after one of their sexting children gave them the 411.

You know the driver of that truck is seriously pissed right now. And I imagine the odds that he went to one of those gun rallies is pretty stinking high. I hope the VA DMV has hired extra security.

betterDeadThanRed April 23, 2010 at 8:39 am

Wonkette deserves credit for exposing Mr. Fancy-Shmancy License Plates. I’m shocked that the media only cited “various blogs” and “the Internet”. Gawker even tried to take credit. Like we would read gawker when we have Wonkette. The workday is only 8 hours. Who has time to read other blogs?

Naked Bunny with a Whip April 23, 2010 at 8:39 am

@ManchuCandidate: You’d think a guy who’s gone from marrying a woman 7 years older than he is to one 23 years younger would be fully aware of the whole “aging” thing.

PsycGirl April 23, 2010 at 8:40 am

“The militant wing of the Republican party” should send a shudder through me but instead it evokes visions of old guys at Hardees ordering their biscuits and iced tea in particularly crisp tones.

TGY April 23, 2010 at 8:42 am

Tea is great for staining shirts brown.

The wingnut British papers are crapping themselves over Cleggmania, to the point of claiming Cameron won last night’s debate. Or as one acquaintance put it, Daily Mail poll of who won: Cameron, 103%. Brown, 0. Clegg, nein.

JMP April 23, 2010 at 9:27 am

Ah, York; I used to have a girlfriend originally from there, and it’s a very racist trashy town, where the cops armed white thugs in the 60s and encouraged them to kill black protesters. It’s perfect for teabaggers.

Perhaps this new militant wing can wear cool brown shirts with some sort of logo on the sleeve as they throw bricks in the windows of store owners.

O/T, except it’s GOP-, teabagger-related. Anybody subscribe to This Week in Blackness by Elon James White? One of his latest posts is about Michael Steele’s remarks about the Southern Strategy. The kicker? “Michael Steele is magical.”

If your interest is piqued, click on some of his videos. He’s pretty funny.

On a internal programming promotion video bumper about “numbers” for Viacom’s Nick Jr.’s Team Umizoomi, the newly-”discovered” infamous integral “88″ (Wacht am Teabagger Car Tags!) was displayed and sung about. I have now become hyper-sensitized to numbers and all things numerologically-related.

Sumner Redstone (née Rothstein), even your network is supporting the legacy of Nationalsozialismus‘s top dawg!

Lulz-o-riffic!

Berkeley Bear April 23, 2010 at 9:58 am

CNN (the broken clock network) has an item about TP numbers – activists (ie Newt’s militants) 67-80 k, total, who (shockingly) live in safe GOP districts. TPE claims 350,000 have sought information, but since we know a third of those are made up requests by Wonketeers and assorted anarchists, and another third are duplicate requests by oldz who got the link forwarded to them multiple times and just kept clicking anyways, that number sounds about right.

So Newt, you just keep fucking that chicken and waiting for the south to rise again.

WIDTAP April 23, 2010 at 10:05 am

What is it with prison gangs and the numerology?

88 for Skinheads

14 for Norteños

13 for Sureños

…and how come Bernie Madoff doesn’t claim a number?

bureaucrap April 23, 2010 at 10:13 am

Wait a minute, does that mean if you own or play a piano, you’re now a Nazi? What will we tell Yefim Bronfman, Alfred Brendel, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Daniel Barenboim?

Potater April 23, 2010 at 10:15 am

British political scandals always strike me as so quaint. Spending taxpayer pounds on bananas, saying mean words in leaflets, they’re downright adorable. We need to ship the teacrappers over the pond (ASAP) so they can bugger a few supple young pages and show the Brits what real scandal is all about. “Will the honorable Larrold of Craig please pick the foreskin out of his teeth so we may continue?”

Wonkette, that is the best teabagger photo I’ve ever seen, and surprisingly, I’ve never seen it, ’cause I follow the baggers closely. The furry looks eerily like Newt as well.

JMP April 23, 2010 at 10:30 am

[re=562784]Pop Socket[/re]: Now, the overwrought Whedon fanboys can be annoying, yes, but it’s not fair to compare them to the teabaggers.

schvitzatura April 23, 2010 at 10:36 am

[re=562784]Pop Socket[/re]: And then brownshirt-wearin’ Newt will get “Röhm-Putsch”-ed by the “bagger blackshirt” radical contingent he recruited for the GOPer cause.

The Stormfront-ified Baggers would do this (politically speaking, of course)to the Larry Craig/Mark Foley wing of the GOPPartei, as part of the NeuOrder Morality Purification Directives:

the SS found Breslau SA leader Edmund Heines in bed with a (male) unidentified eighteen-year-old SA senior troop leader.[36] Goebbels emphasized the latter in subsequent propaganda justifying the purge as a crackdown on moral turpitude.[37] Both Heines and his partner were shot on the spot in the hotel grounds on the personal order of Hitler.

Gingrich & Co. are playing with fire.

SturmabteilungGOP will has a sad…if they keep courting this crew.

drpangloss April 23, 2010 at 10:36 am

88 is 8 8 A=1 H=8 so 88 is HH or Heil Hitler. Helps to read Southern Poverty Law Center review. They have loads of intel on this crap. Not sure what 14 or CV is. 1(one) 4(for) C and V roman numerals? C= 20? V=1000? 4/20 being the little paperhangers birthday. His fanclub eats this shit up. Just trying to decipher asshat, you can’t directly translate it. You need a Rosetta Stone to translate it to Greek first.

lawrenceofthedesert April 23, 2010 at 10:36 am

Newt confused “militant” with “dilettante,” not the first sign of his dementia.

I had no idea that Archie Bell and the Drells were being political in “Do the Tighten Up” when he mentioned “those 88′s.”

When vanity plates were first introduced, every call girl in Chicago got one with her phone number on it. Some things never change…

Cape Clod April 23, 2010 at 10:39 am

I can’t wait for Newty to stage his Old Country Buffet Putsch.

TJBeck April 23, 2010 at 10:44 am

[re=562781]JMP[/re]: I grew up in York, and it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be. Heck, we even eventually charged the cop that incited the racist gangs with murder… while he was Mayor (found not guilty, of course).

Of course, I don’t live there any more, and wouldn’t. But we’re a fuckload better these days than Scranton or Reading, due to more and more influence from Baltimore and Philly.

pub_option April 23, 2010 at 10:45 am

“The militant wing of the Republican Party”, sounds too much like the IRA / Sinn Fein linkage.

Katamaran April 23, 2010 at 11:01 am

Has Newtie the perv told the little old teabagger ladies and gentlemen that “smash the system” means no more Social Security, Medicare, Veterans’ pensions, and all the other govmint goodies these lions of self-reliance gorge themselves on at the expense of the payroll tax-paying peons who wash their cars and bus their tables?
After all, the teabaggies know that’s what they want, right?

A militant wing of a political party? What a great idea for a democratic republic! Let’s see, Italy had the black shirts, Germany the brown shirts, Thailand has the red shirts, what to call this militant wing?… How about the Tea Shirts?

The fucked up thing is I actually saw this truck driving on Route 7 in front of Tysons Corner mall on my way to work a couple of weeks ago. I did a triple take, laughed uncomfortably, then cursed myself for not taking a picture as he drove off. VA is crazy sometimes. My personal favorite, though, is the guy driving some little Ford with a NRA license plate that says ISHOOT. His other car’s license plate says PISTOL. Seriously.

Vanity plates.

I asked for PINUS and the turds at Alabama Motor Vehicles’ Morals committe rejected it. Shows they have dirty minds and can’t spel gud.

In Alabama you may not have genus name of pine trees on your plate.
