After several days of hype and hand-wringing

Oh yeah?

And how much talk was there in the Pravda Press about "racism", "hatred", and "calls for violence" at the Tea Parties that never materialized?

Shove it up your bigoted rump, Pravda Politicos.

He attended with two of classmates and held aloft a sign reading “Palin 2010. One people. One Nation. One Leader.” Not only is Palin not running for anything in 2010 (she’s rumored to be considering a presidential bid in 2012), but the slogan is a translation of one used by Adolph Hitler in 1938.

It was John Edwards who claimed "there are two americas".

It was Barack Obama who claimed he would "unite the American people".

It is Barack Obama who is called "The One".

The hamfisted infiltrators have done a great service to the tea parties. Folks are now on their guard for agent provocateurs and are thinking about strategies to counter them. That’s good news.

Folks who have never heard of Saul Alinsky are now reading his books and learning about what we’re up against. That’s even better news.

And a self-described infiltrator at the afternoon rally, who dressed as a monk and carried a sign reading “God Hates Taxes,” said many tea partiers lauded him for his sign. “I thought I’d be getting drummed out of here by somebody who just thought I was here to agitate and start trouble,” he told a POLITICO videographer. “In fact, it turns out it’s very empowering. People really love this sign,” he said, adding “the whole idea that God hates taxes is an absolute absurdity, however it’s always good to know that God is on your side.”

Paying taxes does not absolve you of your mandate to tithe.

Tax collectors were a corrupt and reviled lot in Jesus' day. Not much has changed.

Interesting take here.
Vogel had a very specific misssion in preparing for and writing this article - cover the left wing infiltrators and hopefully either come up with something disparaging about the Tea Party, no matter how insignificant - an inappropriate comment, or draw a caricature picture (”long gray pony tail”), but ignore the overall presence and message of the Tea Party itself.

We had a handful who stayed on the periphery of our rally at the state capitol in Hartford, Connecticut. One idiot held a sign with the phrase “Tea Party KKK”. I was told this fruitcake has attended other tea party rallies in the state. Another small group tried to hold up some sign but they, like the KKK idiot were lectured by the Connecticut State Police and were surrounded by a group of big veterans/bikers wearing leather jackets, who all were holding either the Stars and Stripes, the Gadsden flag or other types of Americans flags.

I wouldn't want a $4 education, either. You get want you pay for.
