Sign of the day
Leslie at Temple of Mut blogged the San Diego Tea Party this weekend and took a pic of my favorite sign of the day:

If you are a grass-roots activist who believes in fiscal accountability and transparency, you see a protester who is sending a clear message to the Chicken Littles in both parties in Congress: No more bailout/spending legislation without deliberation!
If you are a race-obsessed leftist like Geraldo Rivera, all you can see is a “person of color” who must have been brainwashed into holding the sign!

The left is trying desperately to turn the tax day tea parties into a “Rich” Conservative Republican only event. They can’t deal with the fact that all Americans can want smaller government, less intrusion. We don’t all want to be ruled by Nancy Pelosi and the idiots in Washington DC. THEY work for US!
Perfect sign… I’ll do what I can to carry that in St. Paul, MN on Wednesday.
You wonder if they can even read the sign!
We usually carry helper monkeys around in our pocket to whisper the words in our ear.
All I see is a WHITE man with a nice tan. I wish I could tan that easily.
/Pelosi
I think I might see a black person in the background, but he must just be there hawking water.
I just became a Citizen Reporter for Pajamas Media, so I’m hoping to do my part.
Here in the Houston area, we’re having Tea Parties in Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Houston, and the Pearland/Clear Lake areas. The Houston event is expecting 5,000 people.
The local CBS affiliate, KHOU, covered the Kevin Price radio show last week, where Tea Party organizers/members were meeting. I went to the event and waited to see the news that evening. I was reminded why I no longer watch KHOU.
They spun the story to say that the Tea parties have been organized by the RNC, then noted the national approval rating of the GOP. Nothing about the reckless spending or the reasons why the parties had begun. Nothing about opposition to the parties.
Wholly and invidiously bias.
I have a lot of sympathy for any “person of color” going to the tea parties. It’s inevitable that someone will think they’re an ACORN infiltrator.
I watched the Geraldo clip that was floating around #tcot. He is incredible. How can anyone that wrong still have a seat on a news channel? I mean, what’s up with that? Is he the token idiot?
I like the above sign but my favorite is one you posted a week or two ago, “Liberty, the only stimulus we need“.
I’ve heard he has better files than J. Edgar Hoover.
I hope I’m not the only “brother” at the Tea Party in Atlanta. With Herman Cain and other intelligent brothers in the area, there should be lots of us.
However, if I am, I’m sure they will interview me, and then look out! I’ll concisely tell them why I am protesting, what is wrong with my counterpart in the White House’s tax plans, and what I think should be done instead.
That is, if they cover us. The MSM may try to sweep us under the rug, as they often do. A handful of Liberals interests them, 6,000 conservatives is ho-hum.
I heart Herman Cain. I hope he stays in good health.
I imagine Geraldo’s just tickled about Obama’s latest move re:Cuba…
– MuscleDaddy
Another sign of the day.
Phil Spector was wearing a “Barack Obama Rocks” lapel button during the reading of the guilty verdict. Gotta be a first.
Curiously, there were no Eskimos on the jury. So much for diversity.
I have a lot of sympathy for any
“person of color”tax-paying caucasian going to the tea parties. It’s inevitable that someone will think they’re anACORN infiltratorAryan nation xenophobe.Hmmmmmmm.
And the ones that can read carry a teleprompter to tell them what they think…
Obama: “Good Froggie, good froggie. Hey who put ‘froggie’ on my TOTUS instead of ‘doggie’?”
Teleprompter guy: “Sorry Mr. President – that’s not for the dog, it’s from your conversation with Sarkozy.”
That sign applies to ALL bills cranked out by Congress. Legislation is not written by senators and representatives themselves, but by staffers, sometimes with the help of lobbyists. Our elected officials are usually too busy hustling campaign contributions to pay attention.
He looks Japanese…is that a color, Michelle? (sarc. off).
Reading Is Fundamental. Pass a bill without a reading. What is that? Strategy, battle plan?
The Tea Party in Fort Wayne, IN will have Alan Keyes there. That counts eh?
He is not holding a sign, this man of color is obviously just doing his job of picking up trash strewn about by these white agitators! That’s how I see it, if my name was Geraldo.
I think a lot of folks are giving Congress “Sign” language if you catch my drift.
Geraldo’s a tool Michelle, I wouldn’t even bother giving him ink here.
One of my signs says:
“King George at least READ his tax bills”
Does anyone really watch whorealdo’s program? Whorealdo and Mr. Bill O’really, Odopey butt kisser’s.
*The fact that Blah Blah O’Reilly has Geraldo on regularly instead of MM has been reason enough for me not to watch anymore; His ratings will eventually go through the floor, but not before he tries more of the ET Bimbos on Parade to satisfy his inner Eliott Spitzer.
*Statistically speaking, if people of color only knew what is about to befall them through Obamanomics(higher unemployment at the top of the list), they would openly partake in a Tea Party or two.
*Viva La Fair Tax!
Try “Taxes Kill Polar Bears”
Might sway the eco warriors. They obviously do not need much in the way of supporting facts to be persuaded.
The government, I’ve seen, doesn’t like to use the word “taxes” anymore. Now, they’re called “fees”. An example would be the proposed “street light fee”, in D.C.. I guess if you don’t want to use the street lights, you’re out of luck anyway. It’s easier to increase “fees”, or create new ones, than to increase taxes. The result is the same; more money for them, less for us.
Ha! I believe it.
One more item, we should all do spell checks before printing the signs, DHS will be watching.
Geraldo should be on MSNBC. He has irritated me for a very long time, I turn it off when he’s on the air.
I like this sign as well…from Columbia, SC in SUPPORT of Gov. Sanford. Oddly, I don’t recall reading about this rally in the media.
Sooner or later even dummass entitlement whores will figure out that they have been rolled by the secular-”progressive” juggernaut. Does anyone remember the outrage du jour immediately before 9/11? It was racial profiling of minorities by cops. Who were among the first to call for profiling after 9/11? That’s right…. minority blacks.
The rising black and brown middle class in this country will wake up to this financial rape in the coming months. This is not a race-based issue, it is a human issue, and politicization of government and media is a blade that can cut both ways.
we might be better off by abolishing Congress….
Let me take this opportunity to plug my website where you can get sign-making ideas:
Tea Party Slogans Repository
Looking forward to tomorrow!
I am taking my camera and my child’s video camera with me tomorrow hopefully I can put up some photos.
Meanwhile the Liberal BS in the MSM is astroturfing for Pirates.
The Age of Somalian Pirates is in line with the median age in the country of Somalia 17 years old, the life expectancy is 47 years old for males, that means a 16 year old would be a full grown man in their culture-country – Not the same as in Western culture. So why is our Media using a Western measuring stick for non Western people? Slow, Ignorant, Lazy….

I don’t know about Geraldo, but I am white and a lot of my friends are not and they are REALLY PISSED at all of this stimulating money draining going on as well as I am.
Does this mean we are all Right Wing Extremists?
