1. I selected other
Because there's several characters in Manos: The Hands of Fate that fit the bill nicely.

8. I forgot to mention no matter what your choice, it's insulting to anyone compared to a tea baggger.
The blood eating zombies in the Night of the Living dead, the pod people in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the violent apes in Planet of the Apes are all a better class of people/creatures than Tea Baggers. At least none of the freaks and zombies in the movies were racists...

14. Excellent flick.
Edited on Sat Apr-24-10 01:16 PM by flvegan
Released in the late 90's. Maybe 1997, 1998.

on edit: 1998 per Wiki. Spoilers on Wiki so avoid looking it up.

24. the mayor & his secessionist militia in "Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came?"
here's the scene where the mayor and his secret militia of secessionists (with uniforms and everything!) prepare to "teach that military base a lesson." they choose to face down a drunk military officer finally fed up with their stupid politics and prejudice in an old, to-be-decommissioned tank. so they assault his lone tank (that just wanted to drive away back to base) thinking this is the beginning of the great secessionist war. wacky hijinks ensue.

44. Hey, that kid was the most endearing figure in that show!
That scene blew me away when I saw that movie. I thought what an amazing talent. So I'm going to have to disagree with you about 'banjo boy'. I think the mountain men were more like tea baggers. They seemed to even like animals, and if you look at a herd of tea baggers there isn't much difference.
