Treebaggers?
   
I saw a post about the left needing its own tea party like movement. What would be a good name? I think Treebaggers is a good start.

Mole?

11. How about "The True Tea Party"
   
Since the Boston Tea Party was actually a protest against a multinational corporation, and specifically against tax breaks that were given to that corporation.

The current Tea Party is misnamed. It is just the opposite of the original. They seem to support corporate agendas.

Wow.  They had multinational corporations and corporate agendas way back when, huh?   :thatsright:

I thought the Coffee Party was the democrat/liberal/progressive spin off of the Tea Party.

Yeah.  It fizzled like a wet firecracker, though.  There's a brief mention of it in the thread.

They have one. It's the Socialist Party USA.

They're just afraid to adopt the name along with the platform.

ROFL !

That's probably the most appropriate term suggested.

I'd suggest "Flea Party" given they're nothing but a bunch of blood sucking parasites that contribute nothing but disease and discomfort to the host.

They may as well stay historically accurate and refer to themselves as Redcoats.

Let's see

Pro big government..Check
Pro taxation..Check
Pro entitlement..Check
Pro class warfare..Check
Pro European style 'Democracy'..Check

Yep. Redcoats.

15. Well we need to get
 our messaging in order even more so...

Name ideas?

I think it should probably include the word progress or progressive, it's a good word.

Not any more, it's not.  Thanks, Glenn!

Uh oh....

16. What the **** is a "treebagger?"
 Is that a reference to the racist anti-Obama former DUers who formed their own racist web site?

Who can even make sense of what a "treebagger" might be. It sounds desperately stupid.

17. Uggg.
 Those treebaggers are the nastiest of the nasties.

I have to clean my brain after just thinking of that place.

Not fans of Pitcairn Island, apparently.  That's not very nice to their fellow democrats.  Anyway, I wasn't aware that the elm tree people were racist.  Then again, everything is racist.

How about the 20%'ers? since only 20% of the people in the US subscribe to their agenda.

They could use NAMBLA.

Most of the same people are already members, so they could save the cost of printing bumper stickers.

They just don't get it. One doesn't "start" a group like the Tea Party, it starts itself and grows itself based on people being able to identify with it's goals.

Go with the "T. P. Party," DUmmies, it's the most appropriate thing for your shithead ideas.

Oh, yeah, how'd that 'Coffee Party' thing work out for you again...?

They don't believe for a second that the TEA party began organically - they are convinced its a racist front group funded by rich white guys.
