Don't bash Obama cuz he's got Muslim ancestors, bash him cuz his policies suck. Also it's not surprising you're from the South.

@Ryan: Um, the video is making fun of teabaggers, not of Obama.

That's much funnier and clearly more well-organized than anything an actual bunch of teabaggers could put together. Well played.

It's not his policies that suck, it's the way about how he's trying to reach out to get them done.

Lol.
"He's black too": that's the teabagger platform in a nutshell.

Dan: Just because we talk slower in the South doesn't mean we think slower. And clearly, we think faster than you do in realizing that this was critiquing tea-baggers and not Obama.

Sorry, Dan, I meant Ryan. Not enough sleep last night.

I really enjoyed that.
And I would love to run into that lead singer; that Southern accent of his sent me in a swoon.

Patrick--
Lol no worries. I was a bit non-plussed by the first comment, as I was actually pointing out the same thing to Ryan!

it's pretty clear to us that this video is mocking tea baggers but i wonder if the tea baggers will claim it as their own the way people in the right wing believe that stephen colbert speak for them.

@ Alguien: I wouldn't think they were intelligent enough to get it's a parody.
Now this guy (http://www.youtube.com/user/sayNoToEvolution), I'm still trying to figure him out. I'm 90% sure it's a parody, but not completely. Someone just can't be that dumb. Maybe in the U.S., but not Sweden right?

OK, so the problem with this parody, is that we are so freaked out about the craziness of the tea party that we think there just might be a gay, gaga loving, tea party, Obama hater. PS The south does have some really smart folks down there. Just like we have some complete whack jobs up here.

This is hilarious. He has hit every angle of teabagger dumb from the ridiculous, racist signs to the ignorant rhetoric. Not to mention the unintended homoerotic allusions created by calling themselves teabaggers. Oh and he's cute and sings well! A+

Love it! I think the homoeroticism is totally appropriate for teabaggers since they seem so in love with themselves.
Also, great camera work! I agree with Dekko, this is wayyy more put together than anything any actual teabaggers have done.
Two thumbs up!

I thought this was a hoot! @Ryan: You stepped in the wrong mess when yu started to dis the South!

This was amazing! Wow. Loved every minute. I think the guy singing should have added "Why do I sound like Cher?" Hahaha! He was doing Lady Gaga but at times throught out the song he was giving us Cher with his voice. Hopefully he'll do another parody and use one of Cher's songs. The guy singing was cute and so was his really tall lean back up dancer with the vest. YUM!
On a serious note I think I was watching CNN and they said the tea party isnt really anything to worry about. Sarah Palin's poll numbers are down even among conservatives. But we shall see.

This is one of the best parodies I have seen in a long time! Some of the above readers don't even get what "satire" is! So many Americans are morons!
