The liberal Organization Acorn plans to crash tea parties across America. There will be a estimated two thousand tea parties across America organized by local citizens. The liberal group Acorn and the blog Huffingtonpost are planning coordinated attacks against the populist tea party movement. Therefore, you can read the rest of the article at my blog www.heringpost.blogspot.com

Yeah my grandparents feared this would happen and considered not going for safety issues however they decided to stand their group and do the right thing and stand up for their values. I'm glad for that but I pray this will not discourage others from attending especially in elder citizens. These tax Day tea Parties truly are where the young and old and Republican and Democrat Americans can come together.

he he, I want to plan one now just so they can crash it. Do these guys understand the numbers these parties are going to entail? Do they understand the hornets nest they are going to be walking in to? these tea parties, though generaly peacefull, are made up of some pretty already angry people, this is just patently stupid.
Of course there is the chance they are doing so to act as agent provacateurs', I wouldn't put anything past these low lifes.

Patently stupid should be the Motto of ACORN - to belong to such an organization a person has to be three bricks shy of the full load. They might think they have everything in the bag with Obama in the White House - little do they realize that his stay there will probably be short and that he might not even have been there had it not been for their illegal votes that were cast.

Yea, I've been hearing about the possible infiltration of the tea parties. I have heard of possible counter-protests, and even worse, that some of them might pose as "one of us" and spout racist and just horrible things to make it look like we are insane or something. I was considering going, but now I'm not so sure I want to go. I am not a violent person, but I tend to turn things inward and that stresses me out more because I keep the anger bottled up. I just have a horrible feeling that if I go something bad will happen, I'm probably just paranoid, but I just don't know if it's worth the stress. I strongly stand by the movement, because the taxing and spending is out of hand, and our freedom are in jeopardy. I just don't know if I am strong enough to possibly face "haters" screaming how "crazy" or "bad" we are. I know it's not true, but still. Whether I go or not, I hope it is a great success, and I know there are plans to have them again--if I don't go this time I may go in the future if I don't hear about anything horrible happening at these. I have never been to a protest, so I only have the picture of protests on tv where you see people arrested for just being there. So yes, I'm scared.

Your link leads to a page that has been removed.
Anyhow, it would not surprise me. Even worse, they got over $5 billion from the last stimulus package to support their cause... In those terms, it's now our tax dollars at work to squash our constitutional right to free speech...
Does nobody else have a problem with that?

Personally, I think these tea parties are just a big joke put on by people who are more worried about their ego than the country. But, I have no problem at all with these people doing this, it is their constitutional right, and it just shows how many fools are out there. I don't support any other group should oppose these rallies, but again it is their constitutional right to do so. This reminds me of a political rally, or a group of Kool-Aide drinkers getting together.

Interesting take. So, you think wanting constitutional obedience and fiscal responsability are a joke? And for pete sake, don't pull out the "where were these people when bush was blah blah" stuff. Attack this on the issue if you are going to attack it.

X, did you just wake up when Barack Obama was elected? Did you miss the last 8 years of the exact opposite of what you are talking about. I find it funny that you are talking about constitutional rights, yet you want to take away mine to prove your point. I would like to use my constitutional right of freedom of speech to give you a history lesson that you DON'T want to hear. We DIDN'T have any fiscal responsiblility during the last 8 years, we also DIDN'T had an administration that ignored the constitution.
But, now that you have been informed of the past, let me inform you of the future. The constitution was created to be a living document, but it was almost impossible to change in our current political enviroment. I would have no problem with these tea parties if they were started when all of these attacks on our constitution started, but they wait till it would help them politically. Glenn Beck is on of the organizers of this, and we all know that earth alone couldn't contain his ego. Thus, my comment X.

I heard about this on the 912project.com people are being warned not to sign anything at the tea parties becasue paid ACORN workers will be there pretending to support the cause while gathering your personal information.
