Tax Day TeaParty Roundup

Tax Day 2010 was a day full of work, leaving me unable to attend a Tea Party. I was there in spirit and surfed the net to find the best of the best of today’s Tea Party rallies to share with my readers:

Donald Douglas of American Power is busy documenting a local Tax Day Rally. As we wait for his report and photos, he takes a look back at a year in Tea Parties @ American Power.

Rochester Veteran files a stunning report of the 2010 Rochester, NY Tea Party.

The Lonely Conservative has the scoop on the Syracuse, NY Tea Party

Marathon Pundit has a great, growing list of Tax Day Tea Parties.

Anne Leary of Backyard Conservative caught this image of a plant in Chicago – Obie’s hometown:

The Tea Party Crashers were an epic FAIL

Stacy McCain and Da Tech Guy have the Washington Tea Party covered, estimating 25K turned out to remind Obama and the Dems that November is getting closer. Meeting Lord Monckton must have been a treat for Stacy – I’m officially jealous! I am delighted to note Lord Monckton passed over the opportunity to cheer Queen Margarethe’s 70th birthday in favor of spending quality time with real Americans.

Valley Forge Patriots – Lou Flanagan estimates between 200 and 300 patriots rallied in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. He notes “ Even more impressive was their spirit, their energy level. If anyone anticipated that the Tea Parties would whither after the recent setback, today gave them a cold blast of reality. We’re NOT tiring of the struggle, we’re NOT going away! More significantly, our groups are growing in size”

Philly Tax Day Tea Party – attended by two of the brightest bloggers in Philly – Ala of Blonde Sagacity and Grizzly Mama:

Boston Tea Party Crashers

Today’s Boston Tea Party was highlighted by a speech given by Sarah Palin, several obama supporters showed up to serve real cookies laced with hatred:

It’s an interesting idea, but I’m not sure that it’s the best course of action. Now when misspelled signs are posted on Flickr and across the web, Tea Party activists can point the finger back at the rest of us, claiming it’s not their work. They can claim their opposers are nasty people who infiltrate them out of spite. They can more easily brush off the allegations of ignorance and racism in their ranks, when they need to be held accountable for it.

We want to rise above that. Don’t get me wrong, I am very much against these tea party ideals and I find their group unbelievably misguided. But we here at the Real Boston Tea Party want to stand for sanity, for rational, ethical, and respectful behavior.

I’d like to sit down over a steaming mug of tea and discuss Kathleen Toomey’s evidence backing the allegation of racism that is pointed out by therealbostonteaparty.com website. Of course, there is none, but it would be fun watching her make stuff up.

In fairness, I am happy to note they brought cookies to this rally and not eggs. Eggs in the hands of liberal/union employees is never a good thing. Whoops! Spoke to soon on this issue – it seems there was attempted assault and egg throwing at the Boston Tea Party. Kathleen Toomey..time to back up your convictions with action – care to infiltrate this group?

Can U Hear Us – Chicago Style

You may have missed the ‘Silent No More’ rally in Chicago if you only watch CNN/NBC/ABC/CBS/MSNBC. My blogging buddy, John Ruberry (Marathon Pundit) has the opportunity to speak at the rally in Millennium Park. He is a wise blogger and accomplished runner, you have much to learn from him.

The event was organized by Chicago Tea Patriots in conjunction with Operation Can You Hear Us Now
