As a one time active member, and part time plutocrat, in the mostly successful political street theatre group Billionaires for Bush I was hoping there might be a way to pull the community back together for some rapid ad hoc organizing around tomorrow's nationwide teabagging rebellion.
The B4B modus operandi of joining forces with the right and actively "demonstrating" against progressive forces could be just slightly tweaked to accommodate the April 15th events.
We could use the 2004-06 B4B mock celebration of Tax Day as a model for getting inside the teabaggers perimeter to poke gentle fun at (and make a simultaneous political critique of) their ideas, resentment and anger.
In my experience even the hardest of hard core right winders usually got a laugh out of the outrageous dress and signs we brought in support of capitalism and plutocracy. And while the teabaggers are expecting real counter-protesters from the likes of ACORN I think we should show them what real counter-demonstrations look like.
I'm based in DC and according to the FauxNews sites the teabaggers will be in Lafayette Park from 10-2 tomorrow.
Any billionaires up for a little fun?
UPDATE: Apparently there will be a B4B presence at the Lafayette Park (across the street from the White House) teabagger's rebellion in DC tomorrow. If you are interested please follow these instructions for organizing information:
