CNBC approached Tea Party activists, looking for angry protest events that would make good television, according to a leaked email from a Tea Party discussion group. And one Tea Bagger responded by flagging an upcoming event that, he said, "should be a riot ... literally."
Yesterday, Tea Party Patriots national coordinator Jenny Beth Martin sent an email, obtained by TPMmuckraker, to a Tea Party google group. Martin told the group: "We have a media request for an event this week that will have lots of energy and lots of anger. This is for CNBC."
She then asked: "So, where are the big events this week and where can TPP best be represented on the news?"
Later that day, a Tea Bagger named Pat Wayman responded with a suggestion, also obtained by TPMmuckraker: "This one should be a riot! literally...." he wrote.
*UPDATE*: Moron acts Moronic, gets to be interviewed on TV so we can see how much of a dope she is.

Sigh, I liked this better when it wasn't purportedly "Serious" news, and it was called "Jaywalking".
*UPDATE II*:
Okay, Gray Hair, you feel free to sign a waiver rescinding your Medicare benefits, which are paid for by the taxes on our hard-earned labor. If not, STFD & STFU, you're wrong. And even though you lose, you win.
I mean, if the one of the claims of the website called "StopMedicare" is that "Anyone that has ever used Medicare has died or will die.", then what else can be said?
Everyone that has ever been attracted to another man or another woman has died or will die.
Anyone that has ever used a toothbrush has died or will die.
Okay, you don't want to change the companies dictating policy at all, we get that. What are you for? What do you propose?
Toby: You think we should run a counter ad.
Will: We have to.
Toby: Saying what?
Will: Oh. I don't know.
Toby: What do you mean?
Will: What do you mean?
Toby: We've been sitting here for twenty minutes.
Will: I came in to show you the spots and to tell you I think we should run a counter ad. I don't have an idea for one.
Toby: Well get one. Have an idea! Don't come in here with half a thing and not be able to – you know, after you've walked me to the brink, and say "We've got to do this, it's important, though I have no earthly idea how"! Like one of those guys who buys a big new thing but doesn't really know how to get the most out of it!
