Tea Party Coloring Book Prompts Death Threats

[DearAbby]

"The Tea Party Coloring Book for Kids," published by the St. Louis-based Really Big Coloring Books Inc. and sold online for around $4 at coloringbook.com, has been a big seller - and is causing a stir.

Some are claiming that the book wasn't made for children at all, but for right-leaning adults, as KSDK notes. Critics say passages in the books are overly political.

"When taxes are too high, the high tax takes away jobs and freedom," reads one passage. "In 1773 we had a Tea Party and this led to freedom from high taxes. Today we are having another Tea Party and this will lead to freedom from high taxes again!"


According to Wayne Bell, the publisher at Really Big Coloring Books Inc. the purpose of the book is not political.

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. Not political...

Don't know whether to :rofl: or :cry: or :grr:

Can things just get a little bit more insane so all heads can explode and our nation can actually get down to the business of the people? (prolly not in my lifetime... **sigh** )

Tea Party "values" and "issues" presented just for kids...
yeah..not political... :eyes:

3. What gets me is the accusation

Left wingers are threatening the publisher for this booklet.

I do wonder does it come with a box of GOP color approved crayons?

6. It comes with the crayons, but they're all white.

7. Probably not. How much fun would it be if the only color in the box was white?

(Damn. Four minutes too slow. I gotta learn to type faster...:hi:)

4. Not only is this political, and unsuitable for small kids,

It is historically inaccurate as well. Almost as soon as we won the Revolution the American government started reinstating the very same taxes that got people pissed off in the first place. You see, it wasn't about the taxes, which were actually rather mild, but about the fact that these taxes were being imposed upon people without their representation, input or consent in the matter.

9. All historical facts had been authenticated by the GLENN BECK

University of Hysterical facts.

5. Hey, be fair: for Teabaggers, coloring books ARE made for adults.

Well, at least Teabagger adults. ;-)

8. They have to have a manifesto in a form they can all view.

10. Advanced philosophy for teabaggers?
