The 20 Best Signs at the San Francisco Tea Party
Zombietime ^ | October 19, 2009 | Zombietime

Posted on 10/20/2009 6:38:08 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Barack Obama came to San Francisco on October 15 to attend a private fundraiser at the St. Francis Hotel — where he was greeted by an unexpectedly large and boisterous “Tea Party” protest.

(Other groups showed up as well, and I cover the full event at zombietime: San Francisco Obama Fundraiser Protest.)

Since I had never before encountered an actual “Tea Party” (i.e. an anti-Obama protest by conservative, libertarian and/or right-wing voters), I was curious to see if the partiers lived up to their reputation as “extremists” (at least as portrayed by the media). But instead of scary extremism, what I found was a surprising and piercing sense of humor (something that had been mostly lacking from the angry protests of the Bush era).

And so for your entertainment I present this gallery of the 20 best signs at the San Francisco Tea Party. And when you’re done, make sure to visit my full report on the day’s events to get the complete context for the rally.

First off, I'm stunned the SF City Hall didn't find some obsure reason to ban the Tea Party. I'll bet they were frantically looking. Second -- this sign is the prize winner for me!!

It’s nice to see patriotic Americans with their creative, home made signs compared to typical SEIU/AFSCME monkeys staring vacantly into space holding their mass produced placards and vacantly chanting nonsensical childlike rhymes.

A smart conservative politician should come up with a way to incentivize the cutting of government spending.

The intelligence and creativity of my fellow Americans that was on display in Washington on 9/12 was inspirational for me. These San Franciscans are great Americans.

Great pics! I love Zombietime! One should look at the ‘left’ wing protestors and compare.
