We need a grassroots conservative movement that has no affiliation to the GOP. It must include young people and guerilla street art. We can not accept funding from GOP Pacs or corporations.

Yeah just wait though until some SEIU person’s car gets a flat tire because they drove over a nail at a construction site that happened to be adjacent to a Tea Party...THEN you’ll see front page coverage of a Tea Party “hate crime.”

Don't know, but me and a couple of guys from work have decided to go. I have a feeling this may turn out to be one of those spontaneous events where a whole lot more people than expected may show up.

Not only are our Congress Critters canceling their townhall meetings but even Michelle my belle seems to have gone into hiding.

Perhaps they’ve finally figured out it was bad PR to see her prancing around Europe in her ‘fabulous’ designer outfits.

Is she wearing those designer outfits out on Martha’s Vineyard? Is she serving $100 a pound beef at her oceanside cookouts?

I told my husband if the second revolution was going to start, I was going to be there. I made my reservations last Friday.

Someone should get film footage of all the Corp Jets on the weekend at both the Vineyard and Nantucket.

They will have to do it before they land as to not piss off the Secret Service or violate the "TFR"....

I hear on summer weekends it looks like the Paris Airshow their are so many expensive jets.

Hmmmm....

Maybe Fox can revisit what they did to the Big 3 and what Pelosi is doing by ordering 5 G5's.

BTW....

That stunt pulled on the big three cost Gulfstream 1,200 jobs if my memory is correct....

This government does not represent the people, it is an ideology no different from the Nazis, or Bolsheviks. It is not American, it is clearly the exact opposite. The fact that Sebelius did this is as clear a proof as we need, we are living under tyrants.

Could someone here please tell me the details of the arrests at that town hall? The Post Dispatch keeps repeating that “six people-—including a Post reporter-—were arrested”. Who were the 5 others. It’s not clear from the video. Were all 5 of them SEIU-tea-shirted thugs?

This is the best video of the aftermath, including the cops sorting and arresting folks. Actually, this video is the original, untouched video from the young lady's camera that got damaged by the goon who mashed it into her face. 8+ minutes long.

Are you going to come to the FR Convention on Fri Sept 11 through Sunday Sept 13th in DC?
Plus you can also Join The Tea Party Express if it comes through your area and you are driving to DC.

Line up an attorney you can get a hold of at any hour if you are planning on being there. I have.

If this continues to escalate, they are coming after us in DC. They are planning violence against us right now, folks.

I get scared when I watch this stuff. Not scared of the thugs or Obama, but of myself. I truly fear I would hurt somebody if I was there. Those of you who can remain rational when confronted with these scum bags have my admiration. And thank you to those of you on the front lines.

And don’t expect any help or support from the DC cops. Or any other law enforcement. I’m betting they will make themselves scarce when we get attacked. Or arrest us for hitting someone’s fist to hard with our chin.

Probably not. The Cincinnati Tea Party chartered a bus. It leaves Cincy at 8am on the 11th. Won't get to DC until 6-7PM.Leave at 8am Sunday morning to come home. I do hope to meet some Freepers on Saturday.

I will be staying at the Falls Church Marriott Hotel and would love to meet other Freepers.

Thank you. I specifically want to do some small thing to help and thank Gladney, to acknowledge the grief they put him through.

So do I. If you get any info, please let me know. I have been wondering what we as FReepers might do to support him.

”There is media cover up on this story. Drudge will on cover it. FoxNews will not cover it.”

There will come a time when they simply wont be able to ignore this kind of stuff any longer.

I’ve not seen the names of half the 6 arrested yet. I did see a report stating the police hadn’t releases them yet. The reporter/photographer was Jake Wagman. He wasn’t part of the assault and someone posted he’d actually acted decently with the Tea Party folks in the past, but the cops thought he was getting in their way. One was Javonne Spitz, 51, who told the Post-Dispatch she worked as “a teaching assistant with kids who have emotional problems and behavioral disorders,” but was caught on video telling folks she worked for Carnahan and was reported to be having like an aggressive ObamaCare advocate in contrast to the innocent image she tried to project after her arrest. She was arrested along with a friend, Brian Matthews, 34, who claimed to work as a “rehabber” and to have previously worked on a campaign for an [unspecified] Texas statehouse candidate. Reportedly 2 of the 3 purple clad SEIU thugs attacking Gladney were arrested, the 3rd ran away. I don’t know whether Matthews was one of those 2, whether he was the unidentified, not-purple clad, pony-tailed white guy pictured prone and handcuffed. The names are likely to come out in the next few days. I hope I can spot them in the P-D online. I trust local Freepers and Tea Party folks will be looking for that info. It was convenient that Gladney’s attorney was actually a witness to the beating and seems inclined to pursue it. Once again our opponents stupidly help our cause. Be careful folks, they’d like nothing better than for one of us to do the same for them!

BTW I think everyone should know where the local SEIU office is - you know so it can be avoided - in case of a fire or explosion. Wouldn't want people in Brooks Brothers suits to be blamed.

What a great idea to get pictures of the private jets down on the islands.

Nantucket has an incredible array of Gulfstreams every summer. The Vineyard probably does too.
