I have and was thouroughly amazed at the rancor, the hatred and the ignorance that most of these people displayed. It’s really not hard to draw your “qualms” about people who are on government programs such as Social Security and Medicare and want to eliminate all government programs. It is not at all hard to draw your “qualms” about a group that let’s people walk around with signs comparing their elected president to one of the worst mass murderers is history. It is not at all hard to draw your “qualms” to a group who holds tax reduction as one of it’s main tenets and does not realize that Obama has lowered taxes for the vast majority of them. It is not hard to draw your “qualms” about a group that include many who are so removed from reality that they will not admit Obama is a citizen of the United States. It is not hard to draw your “qualms” about a group that treat murders like Scott Roeders and people who threaten the lives of elected representatives as heroes. I have been to several and apparently you have not if you missed these abundantly evident facts.

They get it from the media’s distortion of the rallies.

You can’t go to every rally before you form opinions. You have to rely on honest reporting of the events. Sadly, we haven’t had much honest reporting. Out of thousands of people at several rallies, the media finds a few racist or otherwise extremist signs and the broadcasts those images over and over again until people beleive those nuts represent the whole movement.

I used to call the media “biased” Now they are becoming corrupt!

I am not a hater, I am a “member”. I have been to a couple and will be going to another one on April 15th. The people at the rallies are really middle America. A wide variety of colors, wealth and personalities. The common thread was the patriotism, the MANNERS and the shared goal of taking our country back.

I have no reason to considering I don’t agree with a lot of their ideas

and before you jump down my throat, no I do not think that all tea partiers are racist, that is a stupid notion from the left that just as bad as any scare tactic used by the right.

They get their information from the likes of Kieth Olberman and Micheal Moore. It is easeir than thinking for themselves.

I can bet very few of them, unless they are bused in by the left and paid for the day to protest have ever been to a tea party rally…

I went to the Glenn Beck American Revival in Phoenix today…there were 10,000 people there of every walk of life…and two protestors outside…one with a sign “Glenn Beck is an Idiot” and one with a sign “I am a progressive, ask me why”…nobody talked to either of them, so they eventually just went home.

Sorry, I don’t have to go to one of your Klan Rallies to know what you’re about any more than I have to pick up a dog turd and smell it to know that it stinks.

I enjoy going to Tea Parties and being around intelligent people. Try it some time, you may learn something.
