Supporting The Tea Parties From The Comfort Of Your Car (VIDEO)

HuffPost has comprehensive coverage of the Tax Day Tea Party protests. Click here for the latest photos and video.

It was a challenging morning on "Fox & Friends." The co-hosts were given t-shirts to support Fox's favorite cause, anti-tax tea parties. But these shirts had a lot of writing on them and that means a lot of reading, which the littlest anchor said would take him all afternoon.

Luckily, they skipped what surely would've have been an interesting literacy experiment to discuss how lazy Americans are supporting these tea bagging festivals (pun very much intended). A Fox fan wrote in saying he would hang tea bags from his rear-view mirror and antennae because he couldn't make it to the actual protests and Gretchen Carlson piped in saying, "you could hang it from your mirror too like fuzzy dice." Yes Gretchen, yes.

Please note the olde time patriotic music that Fox piped in during the segment to truly make it fair and balanced. Oh yes, and the Steve Doocy news-laden gem, "Today the 't' in 't-shirt' stands for 'tea bag.'

I never thought I'd see Manly Men waving around (real) teabags.

In a couple of years these pictures are going to look awfully silly. Like pictures of men in leisure suits and big sideburns.

You can also dangle them off your ears...I'd like to see that...spo­t the extremists right off...

sure hang em on the mirrors right next to the crosses and rosaries. follow up with secret handshakes and code words. keep the membership quiet - dont tell anyone were republicans --lets pretend we belong to a really important secret organization.
omerta , shake with the left hand and get tea bag lapel pins -red white and blue of course

Military spending dominated Bush's budget. Military spending dominates Obama's budget. How and where should I register my outrage and whom should be the target? I will not be associated with Fox's BS movement, but I am not impressed with Obama either. I guess I'll just shut up and wait until the republicans take back some power so I can object and not be lumped in with racists and fascists. Very trying times, indeed.

Wouldn't they dry out in the sun?

FOX Netowrk is a Troupe of Tastesless Trash-Talking Townies masquerading as journalists. They seize on the fear and hatred of others and blind them with their theatrics. T-Bagging is just a vaudeville type of attempt to boost their ratings and keep them high on the dung pile. Too bad losers can't see that, but hey, losers hang around other losers so thay will not be suspected of being a loser, by a winner. I know misery loves company, but so does losers.

Fox & Friends - Have you seen this "news program"? What a freak show!

[tomasedison]

every time I look at that guy i just shake my head
what the heck were they thinking when they hired him ?

[Birdman]

It used to be considered bad form when the news media became part of the news. Here you have Faux news basically organizing a country wide protest. Think about it could you imagine Walter Cronkite on the news arranging protest of the Vietnam war? Or any other News great back in the day getting on the TV trying to whip up a frenzy over anything? People this is what we have been reduced too being manipulated and controlled By Rupert Murdoch.

[Birdman]

Nothing like Faux giving out illegal information. Reich wing zealots are all about winning at any cost even if it means breaking the law. BTW Is Coleman still fighting his loss in Minnesota? I am waiting for the day he anoints himself winner. Another win at any cost republican, personally I would be embarrassed to even admit I support these depraved people.

[GalaxieGal]

Illegal in California to hang anything from your mirror. They can get a ticket and even be more repressed.

[GalaxieGal]

lol - I meant OPpressed, but they are undoubtedly both.

[Brothaman2k]

Why do I have this funny feeling there was a ton of teab a g g i n g involved in all three of those guys getting their current jobs?

[inthedesert]

Wow..is this segment "pregnant" with gay entendres.­..........­........."­yeah, we're both huge"????????

LOL

Dream on boys...dre­am on........­..........­..........­....

Let me get this straight. Are these teabaggers the same Rethug right wingnuts who, during the general election, accused then Senator Obama of hating America? Now that he's out there working to bring THEM some economic relief, they take an anti-American stance. These insane people don't want to pay the taxes that help support our valiant troops, fund health care and Social Security. I'll wager that a lot of these protesters have lost jobs and homes. Go figure.
