World Wrestling Entertainment has jumped on the bandwagon of demonizing Tea Party Americans as racists by creating a xenophobic character who espouses anti-immigrant rhetoric, as WWE commentators quip that he receives "fan mail" from Alex Jones, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
I actually saw this video yesterday and it took me all day to stop laughing at it, and what it signifies, long enough to write this post.
Here is the thing that really cracks me up about it. Essentially if you scan the crowds at a pro-wrestling event you will see that they VERY closely reflects the same types of middle aged, over weight, white people that also show up at these right wing Tea Party events.
In other words this kind of mocking will be broadcast right into the living rooms of the very people that the Teabaggers are desperate to attract to their cause.
And let's face it, once pro-wrestling starts to poke fun at you, then you are essentially done being taken seriously in this country.
P.S. By the way, this video was posted by Prison Planet Live, which is a site run by Alex Jones. You might remember him from his appearance on the Piers Morgan show.
Teabaggers upset that even pro wrestling is now mocking them. Okay, now THAT'S funny!
