A Perfect Summary Of The Tea Party In 2 Minutes
In this 2 minute Qik video (shot from my hacked iPhone, so low quality) from tonight Tea Party, you can see the following:
- Mention of global warming get booed.
- Shouts of communism
- Tirades against tax increases that won't affect these people.
- Talk of the government stealing from the poor to give to the rich.
- Talk about how your taxes will go towards helping illegal immigrants.
And remember, this all happens in 2 minutes and 7 seconds.
well, in a town the size of wheeling, i'd say a crowd of several hundred is pretty meager for an event like this. that's good news as far as i'm concerned.
back in the 80s i spent a weekend in wheeling for a coal miners strike and was impressed with the town's solidarity as virtually everyone, men, women and children, were wearing the uniform of the strike -- camouflage!
yeah, the liberal media really seems to have given these small gatherings plenty of air time. same here in cleveland.
if they can only draw several hundred to wheeling for an event promoted in a 50 mile radius, the tea baggers are pretty damned weak.
