You said — I just smiled and waved and went back to holding up my sign street side for the people in vehicles to read as they waited for the stoplight to change.

Let me tell you what gets them upset... LOL..

You have a SLR with a big lens on it and you *obviously* point it back at them and start shooting pictures of them... They *really* don’t like that...

[They are in the Caribou Mountains of SE Idaho where I live. See them up there - they’re all wearing snow camo...] They are also in the West Texas Badlands, but there they wear Gillie Suits, and practise 500 yard shots taking out the eyes of Lizard toads with uncommon accuracy.I mean there are thousands of 'em out there!!!!!!

They just might be ALL OVER the country, and the FBI is taking pictires of Tea Parties? They better get on the stick!!!

LOL.

Personally, I can care less — it’s a public spot at a public event and anyone can take your photo — that’s real life.

It’s like posting on the internet — nothing is private.

[Star Traveler]

Oh..., and another thing, too... You should always have a bunch of people in your group with cameras. Some with video and sound and some with stills. Make sure you’ve got a bunch of tape and/or cards for both kinds.

Have the people with cameras be prepared to take pictures of any altercations of any kind. Make sure some people are visibly taking pictures while others are out of the way, and not within reach of the immediate people around there.

If they are the authorities who are hassling, then make sure you are ready with some replacement cards and/or tapes for your camera. Once you get a certain amount shot, take the card out and replace it and give the card to someone else. Switch them frequently, because the authorities will take the camera and erase the pictures or simply confiscate the card and/or camera.

This way you can get the card and/or tape out of there without it being confiscated.

That’s just some hints on how to deal with these things... :-)

Yep, that’s right and that’s why I like to do that... LOL...

It’s like they think that the picture-taking only works “one way”... and I like to show them it works “two ways”... :-)

Boy, if Al Qaeda/Hamas/Hezbollah manage to attack the homeland while the FBI is watching us protest the Communist in Chief's $3.5 TRILLION budget, the FBI will have much explaining to do. Idiots!

[meyer]

Interesting. We had a few policemen at ours. One of our speakers was the Sheriff from the adjacent county. We had a few plaincloths circulating within the crowd. The city park rangers were there. And a couple of on-duty police were there watching the event.

I did see a couple of dregs roaming around, wearing hoods. Probably a couple of leftists trying to get an idea as to what we were up to. They looked decidedly uninterested in the event, but were taking a few pictures anyway. I took theirs as well (I took over 350 pictures - I think I got just about everybody that was there).

The news media was there including 2 TV stations, a radio station, the local paper, PJTV, and perhaps others. We had a couple of videographers and 2 or 3 still cameras working as well.

We could easily double the number next time

[GeronL]

I doubt they could be at each and every tea party, there were many in small towns too.

[Freedom56v2]

Funny how we go to (a) CANADA FREE PRESS for news—we don’t seem to have one here :(

[GeronL]

does this sound like a Debka story?

Ummmm..., we’ve got our secret intel contacts too... :-)

[Chgogal]

FBI/Obama, aka Communist in Chief may allow Gitmo detainies out into the American Public while the FBI/Communist in Chief worry and watch us, Middle America protest Communist in Chief's $3.5 TRILLION proposed budget.

Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Idiots!!!

[GeronL]

Canada Free Press is a conservative opinion site, not a “news” site.

[Just mythoughts]

David Axelrod, said the tea parties organized April 15 to protest massive government spending could "mutate into something that's unhealthy."

Well of course they are monitoring potiential mutations they cannot control.

Can you imagine how many agents it took to watch all us college kids in the late 60s and early 70s... LOL...

[Scotswife]

I’m wondering how many FBI agents will have to place themselves on the watch list?

I mean - they can’t ALL be flaming libs right?

[Chgogal]

When I was about seven years old my younger sister and I passed through Check Point Charlie and witnessed true Communism that the USA would later fight against in Vietnam. Needless to say, I NEVER EVER protested against the USA in favor of Communism. You seem to be about 10 years older than me and probably didn't have the same experiences as I did with Communism. It's a shame that many baby boomers, unlike yourself, voted for the Communist in Chief.

[Star Traveler]

Oh yeah..., I don’t know how “they” were fooled back then, but I guess they were. But, everyone got to see what the Cold War was like, and the “Duck and Cover” drills in school and people buying the bomb shelters to put in their homes and/or yards... :-)

And living under the M.A.D. doctrine... (Mutually Assured Destruction). That’s still in effect by the way, but just not spoken about very much. It’s an illusion that it’s not in effect — the missiles could fly just as quick now as they could have 30 years ago (give or take a few years...).

There was some tangible stuff that you could see that was a big problem...

[Chgogal]

: )

I don’t know about comparing Duck and Cover to life under Communism. I remember meeting a great aunt and uncle who gave my mom a bag of raw eggs as a present because that was all they could afford. I remember my father’s car being taken apart as my sister and I were taken away at gun point...nope Cover and Duck at school does not compare to life behind the Iron Curtain. Sorry, NOT! ; )
