I think what truly terrifies them are the numbers of people who keep showing up. If the Tea Party phenomena was a one time protest, that wouldn't scare them, but the fact that it keeps growing means that people remain angry and means that those people will turn out in large numbers to vote them out.<br /><br /><br />Individualist, I don't know her, but she sounds like a good candidate.

There were infiltrators after all, but they didn't have any impact. They forgot to lose their revolutionary garb, so most were easily identified. They gathered first at City Hall, and Tea Partiers checked them out, then watched for them at the rally. Their messages made little or no sense, or simply identified them as infiltrators. And for those that were subtle enough to cause any consternation, the Tea Partiers had their own people ready with "Infiltrator" signs in bright pink to ID them. Here are some pictures from PajamasMedia/Zombie: <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/04/16/crashing-the-crashers-tea-party-infiltrators-outmaneuvered-in-s-f/" rel="nofollow">Tea Party Crashers in San Francisco</a>.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-80338060434682990552010-04-17T11:12:33.788-04:002010-04-17T11:12:33.788-04:00BevfromNYC-

I was a "marshall"(I got a badge and everything!) and of course they started at my corner. I have pictures. They were bracing for a fight, but they were disappointed sincef we pretty much ignored them.<br /><br />Then there was the "Coffee Party" people who were handing out flyers and suggesting that "we dialogue" instead of protesting.<br /><br />The police only had to escort one "counter" protester out just because he was being a loud obnoxious jerk.

The Atlanta Tea Party pending who you listen too, drew 7 to 10 thousand, in south Atlanta (Peachtree City) 3 thousand plus. Regardless of the numbers the result is a political earthquake, and Washington knows it’s coming.

By all accounts, it was a relatively large affair, without any major incidents, good or bad. But the mere fact that Union Square was filled and people were on the sidewalks all around the square is a healthy sign that there are conservatives in San Francisco. The bigger news was the large crowd at the East Bay (Pleasanton) party. News reports are now cagily referring to "many thousand" Tea Partiers, and since the East Bay votes pretty much the same way as San Francisco, that's a very good sign. There's rebellion in the heart of liberaldom.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-59411567182729094702010-04-16T19:03:55.765-04:002010-04-16T19:03:55.765-04:00Yep, and that makes us a better country than most ...Yep, and that makes us a better country than most anywhere else in the world -- the freedom to criticize our government.<br /><br />And the fact that people use that power is what makes us great.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.com
