If you took the time to visit other forums you will find that they do indeed have a lot to do with race.....check out Plains Radio, Stormfront just to mention a couple.

Are you writing in some kind of Redneck Ebonics or are you just a lousy typist?
I think maybe you need to slowwwwwww down when you type if you expect folks to understand what you are trying to "say".

So how were the turnouts in your towns?

Ours was estimated at around 200 people, out of ~90,000 total area residents.

Our numbers were down due to the heavy rain all morning and no publicity. I haven't heard the count. My friend went to one in Dallas and their count was 37,500. They were expecting 10,000. Not to worry. There is another one planned for Sept 12, 2009.

But of course none of those 37,500 were simply celebrating Independence Day huh?

And it will be smaller still. And the crazies will be more prominent.

The purpose of the original teabagging events (a way for the GOP supporting institutions to foment anti-Obama sentiment) will be increasingly marginalized. And the racists, birthers, and John Birchers will be dominant.

It would be funny, except that those elements of the radical right tend to push each other until some of them commit violent acts.

wonder if there will be as many racists as are invited to obama rallies. I actually live in a state with more than 1 race, and I heard that there were people of all races at the tea parties in raleigh. won't catch me there though. protesters are fruits.

ohhh from Freep!

Hundreds protest taxes (& demand Hussein's birth certificate @ Boiling Springs Tea Party) PICS!


Quote:
Michael Brady, one of the event's lead organizers, took the stage in period attire of founding father Thomas Paine. Brady told attendees the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party movement across the country is a "protest against the overreaching of our government."

"I'm not calling anyone to arms … yet," Brady said.
Wonderful!

Quote:
When asked whether he wanted Obama overthrown, Blackstone said he would like to see the president impeached because, "No. 1, he hasn't shown us a birth certificate. No. 2, (for) mismanagement and abuse of the office."
Insightful!
