G8 Protest with Costumes and funky signs
I think Beck is worried that it could revert to this -the main stream media is doing their best to portray the Tea Party movement as crazed white people that dress up and take to the streets like the G8 Protesters.
What? The media loves G8 protesters. They do not portray them as crazed or kooky.
The Tea Party movement is moving forward just fine. And it’s not a problem that its protests look like, duh, protests, not assemblies of automatons lined up to listen to speakers give voice to their message.
This whole discussion is a little surreal to me. It’s as if the New England Patriots implemented a rule, “don’t go out and bang helmets, jump up and down, holler at each other before the game like other football teams do; the media will portray you as crazies and kooks and NOT TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY AS A FOOTBALL TEAM.”
My point is: if you’re demonstrably being taken seriously already, it’s pretty dumb of Beck to come along behind and say things need to change so you’ll be taken seriously.
I was about to say "notice the lack of American flags", but it appears to be a rally based in Germany, from what I can tell. Still... imagine that same rally in the US, sans the American flags. We've seen it many times over the years...
