So are you going to be the fashion police?
Who are you to tell me or any of my conservative friends what I have to wear? This is beyond ridiculous. It is scary the totalitarian undertones some people have on this subject.
I don’t think he means to be totalitarian in what he says.
And I don’t necessarily agree that all costumes are bad. But it isn’t a re-enactment, it’s a political rally.
Should you hang Obama in effigy? Should anything go?
If you have a sign that can be perceived as racist...you are going to be on all the alphabets. If you have a sign that can be perceived as violent...ditto.
If you have a sign that has gross errors....you’ll wind up EVERYWHERE online.
Should tea partiers take any advice at all?
If *I* am at a tea party and I see a sign that seems racist...I will probably say something to the person with the sign and I will move...but that doesn’t mean the sign isn’t present at the rally.
If anything Beck has the interests of the movement at heart with this advice.
Some of us actually want to be taken seriously, there is absolutely no reason to dress up in a big honkin Reagan or Bush or statue costume.. those are for Halloween.
No one is telling you not to. They are saying its a bad idea.
