Question: Teabaggers, did you know that the original “Tea Party” movement was a leftist movement?
No, not the 1773 one, go ahead and call me an idiot liberal since I know you will.

“In 1973, after Nixon’s Bicentennial Commission failed in every attempt to organize a national celebration, it narrowed its focus to four cities, with Boston as its flagship. Kevin White, Boston’s mayor, decided to make the Bicentennial a highlight of his administration; he set up his own commission, Boston 200, and began searching for corporate sponsors. The Bicentennial Beaver set sail from Denmark in May of 1973, her voyage made possible by the makers of Salada tea.
The Salada Beaver reached Massachusetts in October, 1973. “I’m not a crook,” Nixon told reporters on November 17th. On December 10th, the Boston Globe covered its front page with an illustrated editorial titled “THE BOSTON TEA PARTY . . . AND THIS GENERATION”: “It is not just the 18th century that tried men’s souls. Our generation, too, has to act on democratic—and constitutional—principles in the face of arrogant use of power.” Tea Party Weekend was intended to be the national kickoff of the Bicentennial. On the morning of December 16th, more than a thousand people gathered at Faneuil Hall for a meeting held by the Peoples Bicentennial Commission, where Thomas Boylston Adams, a descendant of John Adams and the president of the Massachusetts Historical Society, called for Nixon’s impeachment. He argued that, instead of a day of commemoration, the anniversary “should be a day of mourning, because in the executive branch of government we see the corruption, the rot, the arrogance” that the 1773 tea partiers protested. Then everyone in the hall marched to the waterfront. By noon, as falling snow turned to sleet, an estimated forty thousand people gathered to watch the action on board the Beaver. The National Organization for Women was picketing: “Taxation Without Equal Rights Is Tyranny.” Another banner read “Gay American Revolution.” Rock music blared from loudspeakers. At two o’clock, men from the Charlestown Militia, a reënactment group founded by an Irish-American longshoreman named Jim O’Neil, boarded the Beaver and dumped casks of tea into the harbor. Minutes later, six protesters boarded the ship and unfurled a flag that read “Impeach Nixon.” The Associated Press reported, “A member of the group, wearing a huge mask resembling President Nixon’s face, circled the brig in a rowboat and waved his hands high in Nixon’s familiar ‘V’ style.” On board, they tarred and feathered an effigy of the President.”
