   happy,
   you didn’t ask me but my point about the website going back to chicago is twofold:
   1 this leahy clown doesnt live in chicago he lives in tenn
   2 why does contact info and other links revert to that website vs the one we link to
   3 ( yes am using biden math now )
   who the hell are these people THEY DONT SPEAK FOR ME?

   Who…if anyone…organized the organizers that you see as legit…?

   Rags…no one organized the organizers! I can’t believe you don’t see that. We had people step up and do the organizing in their city. They called for the permits, selected the location, etc. It doesn’t take anyone organizing the organizers. This doesn’t need to turn into the equivalent of BIG GOVERNMENT with multi-layers. If it gets to that point, we lose total control of this thing. It really only takes ONE person to set things up in each city. The people who come to protest will do the rest.

   Does that mean you are afraid to complain because he might be a Chicago thug?

   No.

   That gives me pause to consider complaining all the more.

   Local radio, soccer moms, dads fed up at the watercooler, etc. It went viral the day we conservatives saw that the moderates started complaining (that there feller on CNBC) about their boy’s ideas as how to run the country (at least that’s my own interpretation from my small town perspective, in the middle of nowhere).

   That is curious. What would Chicago have to do with it? Anything connected with Chicago sends up warning signals to me.

   Understand…

   I am not saying anyone here is wrong.

   You may all have excellent instincts at work here. My caution may prove unfounded.

   I do not know the what’s what here.

   I certainly can reason wrong. I have, do, and will.

   But, I have found that most often happens when I try to reach conclusions without enough information.

   This whole deal is news to me, and I need to know more before I condemn anybody.

   Here’s something I have to consider;

   1) SOMEBODY…or SOMEBODIES… will have to meet with THE ONE if there is a meeting. I don’t know how they will be selected, and I seriously doubt they will consult me.

   2) If you present more than three things to a jury, you are doomed. Maybe that isn’t a bad start.

   3) There is NOTHING about THE ONE that tells me he will actually listen to anybody that opposes him.

   I need to know a lot more about these people.

    Scrappy – what gives you the idea that there is fear here? It’s a noise coming from Chicago…there is a lot of noises coming from Chicago…namely BHO…

    Not fear, but caution.

    Where is our leader, by the way? I didn’t see her this a.m. on F&F. I know she is busy. But we need her to clear this whole thing up before we go any further. I will be a little bit disappointed if this has been foisted on us without any warning and we are left to wonder about it. MICHELLE…IS THIS GUY OUR SPOKESPERSON, OR ISN’T HE?? If he is, why don’t we know about it? I am going to leave it for now and hope she can clear it up soon. Nothing more we can do. I have to leave for a while now. Have a good evening, if I don’t get back!!

    MM wrote this in a past blog…”My friend Michael Patrick Leahy of Top Conservatives on Twitter and his crew are spearheading “simultaneous local tea parties around the country, beginning in Chicago, and including Washington DC, Fayetteville NC, San Diego CA, Omaha Nebraska, and dozens of other locations” for next Friday.”

    So, he is legit!

    I’m happy to report on several new protest events now on the docket.

    My friend Michael Patrick Leahy of Top Conservatives on Twitter and his crew are spearheading “simultaneous local tea parties around the country, beginning in Chicago, and including Washington DC, Fayetteville NC, San Diego CA, Omaha Nebraska, and dozens of other locations” for next Friday.

    Time: February 27, 2009 from 12pm to 1pm
    Location: Chicago, Washington DC, other cities, Twitter
    Go to OfficialChicagoTeaParty.com for all the info.

    Co-sponsors of the events with #TCOT include #DONTGO, Smart Girl Politics, Americans for Tax Reform, Heartland Institute, and American Spectator Magazine. The tea parties will be “simultweeted” with the hashtag #teaparty. You can find me tweeting here.

    The foregoing was from Michelle’s column.

    I still don’t have enough information to jump anybody, but this guy seems to be on the level if you look at the history here.

    I can relate on the “who made you god” issue. And I don’t have any answers, Bans. Sorry.

    happy,
    I have to eat dinner as well. From my perspective if MM does approve of this guy that is very bad news
    NOBODY is spokesman PERIOD.
    tea party doesn’t need a cindy sheham!

    am telling you we should have called it a whiskey rebellion tea parties are for cityfolk and they tend to complicate things

    A quick note before I leave…I think he is legit from the standpoint of being a friend of MM and spearheading some of the tea parties. But legit as to being the spokesperson for the tea parties…that I don’t buy. Like you said, we don’t need another Cindy Sheeham and this gets into dangerous territory when one person claims to speak for 250,000.

    Who cares who the spokesperson is? Every movement has people that lead and organize the effort. Do you really believe that Obama would have been elected if it wasn’t for people like Soros and organizations like ACORN and Kos? As long as they are sincere, reflect the true nature of the movement and are not criminals, then let them support the cause.

    Mr. Leahy could garner a little credibility by inviting Libertybelle to join the management of his group.

    Remember, we know how this got started.

    Of course, the president’s “invitation” was of the “kiss my royal butt” variety, so don’t expect an actual meeting to come from any of this.

    Ain’t that the truth.
