Tea parties....

this will not be about dem's nor will it be about obama. the lady that is organizing this in nashville stated today on the radio that one of the republican reps from tn wanted to speak tomarrow and was told he could not. he was not allowed to because he doesnt live what he speaks when it comes to this subject. so this is absolutely about a government that does not represent its citizens of this country, not a certain party or individual. i will be in nashville tomorrow by the way!

I'm going to try to leave for work a little early and stop by the one in Memphis to see what's going on.

In other words, its a ruse just to have an anti-Obama rally, correct?

Why not just call it that?

Jeez do you ever have a hard time keeping up, the PC term used by the Obamba regime is "right wing extremist" rallies.

You really need to sign up for the Acorn (and other nuts) mailing list. :)

Likewise, the free-spending actions of W are considered part of the problem.

Things might have been different if W had a super majority when he had a rep majority, they just didn't have the ability to prevent a dem filibuster on spending issues.

I would be a heck of a lot more supportive of Bush if I didn't see his administration merely a bridge from the abominable Clinton era to the obamination with which we are now faced.

Hopefully these tea party deals may bare fruit.

I just think you are going to be way outnumbered by the freakazoids like gsvol and joevol who see this simply as an opportunity to continue the mantra of hate.

It has nothing to do with hate, it has to do with common sense, evidently something with which you and you zomboid friends are totally unaware.

Freakin hilarious.

The story begins "Some worry..." about ACORN backlash at the parties. Makes them appear under siege.

But who is "some"? The article quotes the tea party people as saying they aren't worried, so its not the tea party people that are the source of this dramatic and important concern.

Know who "some" is? I do. They don't exist. Its a fabricated concern to once again go after ACORN, who may or may not deserve it.

Its like liberal media doind a story that "Some people are worried that all Republicans eat their children alive" and then discounting it.

What a freakin joke this network is.

from the Daily Kook:

Tomorrow, my husband and I will be venturing into the wilds disguised as a news crew to do some in person interviewers with teabaggers here in Rhode Island (if we can find any). We’ve got some questions lined up to ask, but I’d love to get suggestions!
The great thing about owning professional video equipment is that armed with it, you can pass yourself off as being a professional news crew pretty easily.
So tomorrow, “WSFR” is going to send a cameraman and on air news personality out into the field to cover this “teabagging” phenomenon.

We’re going to ask open ended questions that seem to have a slight conservative bent to (hopefully) get them to open up and just start ranting. Then, we take any examples of racism, hatred, ignorance, and stupidity that we catch on camera and make a little movie out of it. Probably a YouTube special.
Here’s the list we have so far
* What are you celebrating (The Boston Tea Party), and can you explain its historical relevance? [We're hoping to get some hilarious flubs from this one]
* Is this your first time teabagging? [OK, so, a juvenile one, but worth it]
* Do you approve of Michael Steele’s plan to expand the GOP through a “hip-hop urban-suburban marketing strategy”? [hoping to get some juicy racist stuff from this question]
* (as an intentional misunderstanding/follow up, presuming that someone complains about wasteful government spending) “So you disapprove of your tax dollars going to the Iraq War?” [should elicit some confusion]

Code Pink:

The Santa Monica Tea Party of 2009 and Tea Parties all across America are being organized by friends of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, all about getting less funding for government. Let’s show up with a better message: STOP funding wars and Wall Street, and start funding the needs of the people– health care, education, and a green economy. Join us as we crash their party.

Just heard Mike Gallagher say that the tea parties are not about taxes.

They are about same sex marriages and socialized medicine.

That seals it then. Why listen to the thousands of organizers who say otherwise when you have one conservative commentator that says otherwise.

The grass roots organizers are the ones I believe in terms of their purpose in doing this. I just think that the effort is going to get hijacked by folks with a more partisan agenda.

No chance he could have been taken out of context? He may very well have said that, but in the end it would not matter, whether those who lean left want to admit it or not there is a valid reason for the tea parties. Some kooks will show up but that is no different than any other demonstration organized in this country.

Like any other group of Americans who lean more left have done with any number of demonstrations over the past eight years? You didn't seem to have a problem with code pink or any number of groups from a long list then, why the problem now? It just looks as though you are finding reason to criticize one particular group or segment when you would have given others a free pass because they fit better in to your mode of thinking.

That's just it. I truly believe that the "kooks" will significantly outnumber the people there solely to protest the tax system.

I just saw some footage of one in Washington and your prediction didn't hold according to the interviews they did (about 6) or signs they showed (about 20). Each of the above referenced dealt with the core purpose of the rally.

Of course the coverage was on Fox so they hid the kooks. No wait a minute, Fox is a shill for the kooks. Now I'm confused.

No, I don't mean in terms of organizers. I mean in terms of folks showing up. The grass roots locals I think are probably feeling a bit overwhelmed right about now, having to fend off those who would convert their tax protest into a general Bitch-About-Obama jam session.

I absolutely did (and do) have a problem with any sort of single issue group planning a protest on their issue and then getting taken over by more militant partisans. Right or left.

I would bet the kook ratio is under 20%. Of course, you indicate that complaining about Obama makes you a kook. Clearly, Obama is a focus of much of the outrage since the massive spending proposals are HIS.

The "BO is a muslim" crowd will likely be under 5% - possibly non-existent.

What do you think about the tactics of the couple from the Daily Kos?

The "BO is a Muslim" crowd is what I mean by "kook." Not the folks who just prefer a Republican in office.

No, was in meetings.

You could fit everything I know about Daily Kos in a thimble and have room left over. I've heard of them, and assume they are super leftist, but I don't know what they do other than have a blog. Do they do nationwide liberal protests? Enlighten me.
