New Animation: "Learn To Speak Tea Bag"

Watch now! Learning a new language doesn't have to be hard, especially when "Tea Bag" is so minimalistic! Mark Fiore created this animation. The Wall Street Journal dubbed him "the undisputed guru of the form." He creates political animation from an undisclosed location somewhere in San Francisco.

The comments are almost all negative. The animation itself is sophomoric and insulting to a likely majority of American citizens.

And this is the guy that made the video (not that you'd want to contact him and let him know what you think about his govt sponsored propaganda...)

We need to spread the news that using the “T-word” to discuss patriotic Americans is as bad as using the “N-word” to discuss
‘people of color’! >>:-(

I love the comments by viewers. Almost all negative. This is what our tax dollars go to? We’re in an era of lowering take home pay, but increasing taxes and this is the sort of CRAP that we’re paying for!!! DEFUND NPR NOW!!!!

just left this

Your tax dollars at work..This is your public sector folks ! Your govt referring to you (a hard working taxpayer) in a sexual slang (look it up)- I hope the readers realize that this childish animation was funded with their tax dollars. You should be ashamed for two reasons #1.) This is something a 4 yr old would do. #2.) This shows us that the collective IQ of NPR resembles something akin to a ground sloth.

"He creates political animation from an undisclosed location somewhere in San Francisco."

Translation: Somewhere beneath this guy's sack.

That's a GREAT idea.

NPR scumbags. But knowing who funds them, it all makes sense.

This is excellent news. Others disagree but I think we should continue to use the Tea Bag as an icon and let the scum giggle and reveal themselves as slimy children and NOT as responsible political reporters. Especially since they all seem to be so upset with the tea bags and the Tea Party Patriots that they open themselves up to derision and scorn for taking the argument to a slutty, dirty and childish level. YMMV.
