Teabagger sighting

Today I saw a guy in a Teabagger t-shirt (this slogan on the back, with the Don't Tread On Me snakes and some babble about the New World Order on the front).

Shopping at The Big Carrot.

Wonder what he was buying. Macrobiotic baby food? Gluten-free, organic sweet potato loaf? Maybe he was a tourist.

maybe it's an ironic hipster thing, like the kkk

Teabag is like a colloquial noun now?

The KKK is an ironic hipster thing? Oh man, that turns Mississippi Burning into a whole different movie. :D

That was my first thought! My guess is that he must have been one of those really obnoxious American tourists who thinks he's always right and wants to make sure you hear what he has to say.

Or, it's some Canadian with a wildly sarcastic sense of humor. I just can't imagine any Canadians even slightly associated with the Teabaggers. Yours is the Land of Prevailing Common Sense.

There are actually a lot of religious nuts and survivalist nazis who are all OMG Purity of Essence and think chemicals in food are a gummint/devil plot.

Gotta make sure the commies don't put stuff in the water which will weaken our precious bodily fluids.
