The Illustrated Tea Party Dictionary
http://gawker.com/5506871/the-illustrated-tea-party-dictionary

Ever wondered what "Real America" means? Or how precisely Sarah Palin defines communism and fascism? Look no further. Using misspelled Tea Party placards, from this excellent Flickr gallery, we've compiled the first comprehensive dictionary for this new dialect.

Here are 24 key words, and their associated misspelled placards, that are now charged with the fevered, dog-whistling undertones of Fox News and the new right.




Freedom: Is defined as the rights of any individual to do anything, without government interference, as long as those things do not include falling in love with a member of one's own gender, or deciding to get an abortion.

3. I was in Rockford IL this afternoon.
On my way home, I saw a billboard advertising the teabag party. I read it, and was sure it was counterfeit. Not a single word was misspelled.
