I found that hilarious! She begins yelling at a man holding a baby and comes off as every liberal woman I have ever known! Starts a fight she can’t finish!

I thought the guy did a very good job responding to her diatribe.

She began to yell at the man telling him in so many words he was stupid and didnt know Obama was actually helping him.

Recently back from the Tea party in Marion IL. My estimate would be around 200 people, a fabulous amount for noon on a week day.
I was surprised to read in this morning’s paper that these parties were also to be held in Carbondale, Herrin, Carterville, and Harrisburg. I hate to dispute Rush, but if there were 5 tea parties in 3 Southern Illiois counties, there is no way that there were only 500 of these nation wide.
Lots of great, inspirational speakers, but the overall rallying cry was “enough is enough”. It was held in the town square, and since there is no water in which to throw the tea, the organizers had helpfully provided a horse watering trough!
They ended the party with the entire crowd singing The Star Spangled Banner - it gave me chills.

That’s OK friend—if you cut off my head in the pic, how will DHS identify me as a radical? ;)

Glad you stood up for yourself and your sign. People who want to talk all about “God is love” or “Jesus is love” are usually talking “liberation theology” or “social justice” and do not recall much else from scripture.

PS don’t forget http://pushbackuntil.com/ because we cannot afford to let the TEA Parties fade and have nothing to show for them.

BTW, I got a stomach virus and didn’t get to go to any of the Tea Parties. I’m bummed, but I’m watching Fox Online and enjoying vicariously.

Yeah, the old "Just be quiet and line up for your free healthcare, you dope" meme that seems to be coming out now.

Obviously the quintessential tea party participant:

Decent, polite, family friendly.

She unsuccessfully tried to make him out as one of the posse comitatus!

just this link alone is showing how popular the movement is. Check how many results you get from the link.

I guess that CNN and MSNBC were wrong ..... it IS a big thing and many in print and other stations are picking up on it.

Oh what will “the one” do now that he can not silence the people?

***note to CNN - just because we are not sponsored by billions of taxpayer dollars and approved by Obama like ACORN .. does not mean we are not grassroots***
