Maybe, but it is certainly throwing the baby out with the bathwater to conclude it’s better to have no signs than have to deal occasionally with an imposter.
Personally, I think the occurrence and impact of any imposters has been way overblown. Can Beck even name an instance when this truly set back the movement or dented its influence?
In fact, the only instance I am aware of, and the only instance that to my knowledge got any net play at all, involved tea partiers firmly denouncing an iffy sign and asking the man to take it down or leave. That was powerful.
With the number of hoax “crimes” and incidents that occur today, I think the public is becoming much less apt to jump to conclusions about a movement based on an isolated incident. Which, as I mentioned, haven’t really happened anyway, so far as I know.
Beck works in the TV industry. He knows well how the image is used to defeat a person.
The truth is, we need to be very serious from here on out. We are fighting for what is left of the country after Hussein gets through with it.
The outfits are cute, but what we are doing needs to be far more than cute. The left was stunned at the 8/28 rally in DC.
Why? because masses of people showed and were very serious.
The left has been unable to make fun it with images of people in costumes and a carnival atmosphere.
The best they can do is get a couple leftist “comedians” to try to diminish the effect. Al Sharpton certainly failed.
