TEA Party Descends On Searchlight

About 7000 TEA Party activists arrived in the small town of Searchlight, the place from which Harry Reid hails, to let the state and the Senator know that they are not happy with him and that he is going to be bounced in November. Sarah Palin addressed the phony charges that her “reload” remark was designed to stir up violence. Palin said she was trying to inspire people to get involved and told DC that we will not sit down and shut up.

It would seem that the TEA Party group is not as violent as the DC crowd would have us believe. Extra police were on hand and responded to a report of a fisfight but found nothing when they arrived:

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department sent dozens of uniformed and plainclothes officers to patrol the crowd. Officer Jay Rivera said there was a report of a fistfight in the morning, but when police responded, they found nothing. He said there had been no arrests.

“So far it’s nice and peaceful,” Rivera said. AP via My Way News

Harry Reid dismissed the gathering by saying he thought it was great that out of towners came in and spent money there during this economic downturn but that the people of Nevada will decide his fate, not a bunch of people who “parachute in.”

Harry is happy that people are spending money there but thinks they have no right to actually say anything about his reelection. While it is true that only Nevadans will vote, they will be influenced by the people who showed up. Reid is the Senate Majority Leader and as such is accountable to all of America, just not at the ballot box. Non Nevadans can’t vote for him (unless they are ACORN sign ups) but we can influence that vote. Funny, Reid does not mind campaign donations from people who cannot vote for him…

Some people in the area supported Reid and had good things to say about him. I am sure we can find people who like any politician. The trick for Reid will be to find enough to give him a win.

I just do not think that is going to happen.

We will see but it is nice to see peaceful activists exercising their Constitutional rights.

I wonder how many times the MSM called them racists (but Harry is white), tea baggers, fringe or violent?

On another note, here are two good things to look at:

Apathetic USA

Does this look presidential to you?

Students Across The Country Protest Fee Hikes

Students across the country are protesting hikes in college tuition. The protests have become violent at times as students commit acts of vandalism and clash with police.

Decreased tax revenues and the tough economy have forced some jurisdictions to cut funding to schools and the difference will be made up in increased tuition.

So let’s get this straight, these kids are protesting a hike in fees because schools are not getting enough of our tax dollars to subsidize them. What would these students propose we do, raise taxes? Making us pay more so they do not have to would go over real well.

It is already a problem that taxes pay for higher education when many of the taxpayers are not benefiting from the expenditure.

However, I can understand the sentiment. People across the country are protesting higher taxes and an out of control big government. They are called the Tea Party.

The major differences; Tea Party members do not commit violence or vandalism and they are portrayed as villains by the Lame Stream Media.

Tell these kids to get a part time job or take fewer classes each year. Consider the experience an early start to what life is really like.

Riots At Berkekey Over Cuts and Tuition Increases

The latte lapping liberals at Berkeley have their pink panties in a knot over cuts to the school that will cause a rise in tuition that the future anti war liberals will have to pay for their indoctrination. Berkeley is the place that is anti military and has hosted the code pinko crowd as it harassed military recruiters. The town had code pinko friendly rules and military unfriendly rules as recruiters were harassed and their station vandalized.

A late-night demonstration over budget cuts turned violent in Berkeley when protesters broke into a campus building, torched trash cans, smashed windows and threw rocks and bottles at police, authorities said Friday. Riehl World View

The Berkeley students are a bit upset that money from taxpayers will be cut and that their tuition will go up so they had a not so peaceful demonstration. These morons rioted, broke windows and set garbage cans on fire.

These are the people who want us to give peace a chance and stop fighting wars.

These are people who are cut from the molds of liberals who mock Tea Party members as radicals just because they want smaller government and lower taxes.

Yes, in liberal land (and to the DHS) those who peacefully protest to pay less in taxes are radical extremists and violent racist teabaggers who cannot live up to the level of civility exhibited by those on the elite left.

Yeah, and those in Berkeley lead the way.

Guess it is OK to be violent when your taxpayer assistance will be cut but not OK to peacefully protest when you want to pay less in taxes.

Only in America.

Keep in mind, the violence we have seen at protests is from those on the left. Usually lefties (and violent union thugs) attacking peaceful protesters on the right. That violence went way down when Tea Party protesters started (legally) bringing guns to the events.

Olbermann Gets Body Slammed

Keith Olbermann of MSNBC is a moron who likes to spread lies and tell the three people who watch his show how bad people are because they happen not to hold the same views he does. Of course it is hard to know his vies because he changes the tone when the act that was an offense when committed by a Republican is a great thing to behold when committed by a Democrat. He is a certified moron who was recently body slammed in a video that answers a few of his questions.

Well Olbermann, there are the answers to your questions. Will you attend and see for yourself?

And how about hiring a black or other minority at MSNBC?

Moron.

About jumping To Conclusions

Barack Obama warned against jumping to conclusions when terrorist Nidal Hasan shot and killed members of the US Army. This from the guy who jumped to conclusions when a police officer arrested his buddy for being disorderly. The warning signs were there and Army officers report that they were afraid to report the issue because of political correctness. One claimed his concerns were ignored for that very reason.

The communications with an al-Qaeda cleric, the rantings about Islam, the threats to infidels, the poor performance are all out there now and we are warned not to jump to conclusions.

Hasan might claim insanity and he might be on to something. One would have to be insane to follow the teachings of the radical faction of Islam.

But where were the liberals warning about jumping to conclusions when a part time census worker was found hanging from a tree in Kentucky, allegedly with the words FED scrawled on his chest? The left immediately jumped all over the case and indicted the right wing in America. The blame was placed squarely on so called hate speech from the right. Michelle Malkin detailed, at the time, all of the liberals who were blaming conservatives. Here is a sample from the Democratic Underground (as reported by her):

We need to absolutely expose Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, Michelle Malkin, CNN’s Lou Dobbs, Michael Steele, Rush Limbaugh and the legion of others parroting right-wing lies for trumping up this nonsense and getting people to now commit murder in a hideous fashion.

HuffPo, Radio Equalizer and New York Magazine all put the blame on conservatives. There was even a picture of a hanging body with the words FED on the chest and the names of conservatives printed behind it.

It would seem that this was a bit premature because the official finding in the case is that the worker, Bill Sparkman, committed suicide.

It would seem that all of the conclusions as to whom was responsible were quite a bit off the mark. None of the liberals espousing restraint with regard to Nidal Hasan opened their mouths to caution restraint. There is plenty of evidence in the case against Hasan but there was not one shred of evidence in Sparkman’s death that pointed to conservatives talk being the cause of his death. The left jumped all over it nonetheless. Where were the trusty liberal mouthpieces when this was taking place? They were agreeing with the accusations of their echo chamber roommates. While they might not have publicly expressed the same sentiments, they were thinking it because they all believe that conservatives are violent.

Who can blame them for thinking this? The botox bimbo, San Fran Nan, told them that conservatives were violent. She teared up at a meeting to discuss the anger from the tea party protesters and stated she had seen this before in her home state and it led to violence. She was referring to Harvey Milk who, by the way, was murdered by another state employee over a job dispute. His murder had nothing to do with “angry mobs.” But Nancy had to make people believe that the tea party people are violent. The left looks at the tea parties as conservatives but the movement has people from all political ideologies and all walks of life. But the left has to focus on conservatives and isolate them in order to carry out Alinsky’s rules.

It is quite evident that this whole idea of violence is a fabrication because there has been no violence perpetrated by tea party members during all of the heated town hall meetings. The only violence came at the hands of union thugs who were acting as the enforcement arm of liberals. Those jackasses beat the hell out of a man. Those jackasses threatened the elderly. Those jackasses were the ones there to demonstrate a show of force. The tea party people know how to demonstrate peacefully. Another bit of evidence of the desire to pin violence on the conservatives appeared when the media reported that a number of people were arrested in DC at the rally Congresswoman Michele Bachman called for prior to the House vote on health care. The media neglected to indicate that those arrested were from the left. Those arrested were Code Pinko members who were protesting Lieberman’s decision to block health care. The media referred to them as tea partiers and failed to make any distinction when reporting the story.

This is a desire to pin it all on conservatives. Those who admonish against jumping to conclusions when there is mounting evidence are all too happy to sit around doing the first digit rectal interface when their side is indicting people who do not advocate violence and who do not incite violence.

Every time there is a death or violence the left is quick to point fingers at Malkin, Beck, Limbaugh and other conservatives and they point reflexively with no evidence whatsoever. Obama is an extension of that and demonstrated it with the Cambridge cop.

Let the conservatives point when there is a mountain of evidence and we are jumping to conclusions.

This liberal double standard is why they have no credibility (well one reason among many).
