Anyone going to a Tea Party tomorrow?

I am trying to get a few people together to attend the Indianapolis Tea Party. http://www.indianapolisteaparty.com/ My 6 year old nephew may even join us.

At first I was going to skip it and do my taxes, but after watching the dike on MSNBC bash the idea calling it a 'Tea bagging' party and throwing in countless sexual innuendos, I have decided that I will go. I couldnt believe that she would disparage civil participation for a cause because it doesn't fit a certain political ideology. I thought that Dissent was Patriotic, or so the Liberals use to say.

That's standard Ops for the Libs man. They're all up in arms when it benefits them. But the second someone else has a cause worth supporting they get all butt hurt.

Dissent is Patriotic to an extent, depending on the cause of course. Wish I was closer, I'd love to go.

Hey Bud

How have you been?

Have you been enjoying the Obama economic recovery thus far?

How was the tea bag party?

Did anyone ever show up?

I don't think there were any around here?

I gather you do not care for Rachel?

She is much better than Fox noise

Wow…. Someone is actually admitting that they are going and…... you are taking a 6yr old . Exposing a 6 year old to a bunch of hating protesters should be very beneficial to the kids therapist in 10 years. You might as well take the kid to the 4-20 rally next week. Please reconsider taking the kid. Seriously! Take some pictures for me, because I'd like to get a real look at what the enemy looks like. I bet'cha all the haters at this "party" don’t even make 250k a year. They just need another forum to display their continued hatred. Have fun and please fight the urge before you purchase that "2009 tea baggers t-shirt"

Not to bad bro, how have you been? I actually got a promotion at work two weeks ago.

There were plenty of people that showed up for the Indianapolis TEA Party and even Repoman showed up for the protest. I even got to meet and shake the hand of Abul, our local radio talk show host. http://www.wxnt.com/pages/1574690.php

I actually told a friend from church, that I think I missed my calling in life. I think I was destined to be a union guy and walk the picket lines. I hear my wife's union is going to have a rally Tuesday night and I am excited to join in to show my Solidarity.

The Debt Star- a picture of the death star with the Obama symbol on it.5. Don't Tax Me Bro- a spoof on the Don't Taze Me Bro

Yup, I live for your approval.. I really do.

There was really no hate at the event. All the participants were very nice to the State Troopers, people passing by and to the three counter protesters that showed up. It was really a good event.

Quote »Take some pictures for me, because I'd like to get a real look at what the enemy looks like. [/quote]I have to upload them. But Repoman and I were let down that the Obamallamas could only must 3 counter protests (of which 2 of them stood across the street with a pathetic little Obama '08 sign). At least the crazy drunk white girl who was obviously off her meds and acting like a ghetto rap superstar had the the courtesy to get nasty to our face.

Quote »I bet'cha all the haters at this "party" don’t even make 250k a year. [/quote]Geee, I never really thought of it that way. Obviously us midwestern folk don't make that kind of money. I mean we all drive Combines around and wear Carharts and overalls.

Not sure what that means, but thanks for the report back and Im glad the kid didnt go. The latest in the streets here is that traffic was help up by this tea bag party. I'll get the real skinny on the 10pm news once they are all drunk and hung over and neglected to mail their taxes off before the deadline.

Looks like a great time Cold_Zero!

I wish I could have made it to the one in Harrisburg,PA, but I couldn't make the 1 hour drive (not enough money for gas unemployment sucks).

I'm gonna try my hardest to be in Washington for the national march on July 4th. Hope to see some of you guys there.

If the only thing that stopped you from going was gas money, I would gladly cut you a check.bud

I wanted to go but was stuck webex'd with a customer fixing some problems. Sounds like there were between 2k and 3k here in Louisville at the event.

Here's an interesting vid showing a news report from one of CNN's reporters at the Chicago gathering:

http://www.thehopeforamerica.com/play.php?id=861

Pretty typical. If it were about blacks, pro-poverty, pro-Obama or gheys, with 1/5th of the turnout, then I'm sure it would have been front page news for a week on the major MSM outlets. It's just not worth covering the pitty little turnouts that the MSM is is trying to suggest.

What was the eventual turnout? An estimated 450k people:http://northshorejournal.org/t...nwide

BTW, here is the same reporter from above with a different attitude concerning the 15 "protesters" outside of the Obama residence in Jan. Maybe it's because they are wanting him to focus more on liberal viewpoints?

It's nice to know that the majority of MSM are an extension of the DNC

Good cartoons Z.

Leave it to the mainstream media to get Pornographic over their coverage of the Tea Parties in an attempt to mitigate the effectiveness of the Parties. As Mike Church (who had DHS Snipers trained on him from the White House rooftop, while speaking in Lafayette Park) said this morning, these Parties were effective, because the Liberals, the mainstream media and the Government are scared. Their actions prove this. I am further disgusted at CNN for implying that dissenting against your government is somehow deviant. Where is true journalism like Der Spiegel? Who has no qualms about going after corrupt and ineffective political parties in Germany? I guess there is a niche to be filled in the American Market.

WTF? All we heard from the Liberals, Left of Center and Bush Hatemongers for the last 8 years was that 'Dissent was the highest form of Patriotism.' Now I guess that doesn't hold true, how convenient!

Incidentally, the only 'HATE' that I saw/see going on was from the mainstream media, before, during and now after the Tea Parties. Oh yeah and crazy drunk white chick off her meds (referenced in a prior post.) Everyone at the party seemed to be happy, having fun and even joked around with each other.

Thanks. Just trying to show what "media" coverage did occur - unfortunately, just from from the political cartoonists, not mainstream reporters.

Agreed! I am so infuriated by CNN sometimes that I find it better to not watch them ... I told my wife to let me know what happens on that channel.

Regular listeners to the Howard Stern show are all familar with the term "Tea Bagging"

To those of you out in the boonies, I'll help you all out here

Fox noise did an outstanding job promoting the tea bag party

Fair and balanced my a**

I think many of those that turned out were mostly sore losers over the November election?

Like the sore losers from the 2000 election? Nah, most of the signs were about taxes and big government with a fraction of the signs aimed at Obama. Only one sign mentioning the Nov 2008 Presidential Election. And no Tin Foil Hats were worn.
