Teabaggers going out of their way to make sure that people do not compare the Occupy Wall Street protestors with THEIR movement. You know what? Never even crossed my mind!

"Those damn hippy, communist, traitors are nothing like us! Hell they even seem to understand what they are protesting about!"

The tea party isn’t about to make room for the new protesters on the block. 

Big tea party groups have launched an attack against the Occupy Wall Street protests, challenging the line that the anti-corporate uprising is the “the tea party of the left.” 

Tea partiers and their allies are looking to de-legitimize the protests circulating in the anti-Wall Street crowds, hunting for evidence of union ties, fringe rhetoric and bad behavior — ranging from news of arrests, to recordings of incendiary speeches, to tales of littering, drug use and debauchery. 

“The left is trying to create a counter force to the tea party, but it’s almost laughable that anyone is comparing the two, because they’re totally different,” said Sal Russo, chief strategist for the Tea Party Express. 

Now here is where I would usually rip the Teabaggers apart and demonstrate that they were a Koch brothers funded astro-turf group driven by latent racism and overwhelming stupidity, while the Occupy Wall Street protestors are an eclectic group of true Americans who are angry at the real cause of our financial problems in this country, banks and corporations run amok.

However thankfully I do not have to spend all of those minutes typing, because past SNL performer, and current ditzy Christian Teabagger wingnut Victoria Jackson, has done the heavy lifting for me.

Now before you watch this video I want to warn you that the stupid is almost too much to take, but fortunately Jackson talks to an actual Occupy Wall Street protestor at about the 4:20 who brings a much needed dose of sanity to this bizarre attempt to undermine the movement. (Apparently Jackson posted this video believing she had shown the OWS protestors at their worst. In the immortal words of my daughter, "EPIC FAIL!")

P.S. I also need to warn you that studies (I have just made up right here on the spot) have shown that prolonged exposure to Victoria Jachson's voice can sterilize small house pets at fifty yards, so you might want to put your cats, small dogs, and gerbils in another room before hitting play. We at IM are animal lovers.

Okay here you go. (Disclaimer: The management at IM are not responsible for the death of any brain cells, loss of hearing, or destruction of computer monitor which may result from the viewing of this video.)
