What would a party be without party poopers?

As anti-tax protesters organize tea parties across the country on April 15, rumors are swirling that a backlash is brewing.

Some believe ACORN, which has been under scrutiny for accusations of voter fraud, is preparing to crash some of the tea parties. But ACORN says it is only helping to organize dozens of rallies on the same day in support of President Obama's first budget.

"This is the first we've heard of these so-called 'tea parties.' And, frankly, a bunch of small get-togethers by fringe conservative activists dedicated to simply saying 'no' is of little interest to us," said ACORN spokesman Brian Kettenring.

Tea party organizers, meanwhile, say they're not worried at all about possible disruption. (Hold it-isn't that the focus of this entire article???)

"We don't take them seriously," said Mark Mekler, who is organizing a tea party in Sacramento. "We expect people to attempt to infiltrate, we expect people to attempt to disturb what we're doing. (but...uh you just said...oh never mind)

Taxdayteaparty.com, which is helping to organize the protests, said more than 250 locations in all 50 states will hold rallies on April 15. Some believe ACORN will try to make the tea parties look like fringe group efforts at best, and racist undertakings at worst. (oooh the race card!!!)

"The people who are involved understand they're not racist, they're not fringe, they're not even partisan," he said. (so the people who are doing this non-racist thing are not racists...or something like that :eyes: )

ACORN said if there are protesters, it won't be from its ranks.

"The idea that ACORN is out to disrupt these meet-ups of fringe activists is yet another conservative fantasy," Kettenring said.

"At this point, it would not surprise us to wake up tomorrow and see conservative media fingering ACORN's 500,000 member families as the principle cause of global climate change," he said in a written statement.

2. SInce When Does Hysterical Laughter Constitute a Backlash?

Some people may be hospitalized for stomach spasms, but that's not an issue of civil disturbance or property rights....

7. Where did I read that nazi recruiters plan to make a showing?

[ima_sinnic]

11. now that is the kind of guerilla theater I could get into

pose as skinheads who are teabagger "sympathizers"--that's always good for the ole PR

:rofl:

[lamp_shade]

14. Picture it !! white spikey-haired crazy skinheads, chains, tattoos, piercings, etc.

15. LOL! if only I cared enough to make the effort to find out where they're going to be

around my neck of the woods. I checked some "organizing" website and it gave a name of a contact in a nearby town, but I guess I'd have to "sign up" to get all the details. I'd have to care to take it any further than that. I am, however, planning to bring my camera with me today just in case I do happen to spot a couple of doucheteabag freaks "protesting."

8. ACORN doesn't have to do anything

"Some believe ACORN will try to make the tea parties look like fringe group efforts at best, and racist undertakings at worst."-The teabaggers are accomplishing this quite well on their own.

10. oh, please please pwetty please, don't bring us any media attention

--in their dreams are their idiotic "protests" going to be "infiltrated" or "disrupted." Infiltrarion and disruption by "liberals" happens only for good causes. They are wannabe martyrs frustrated because nobody will "persecute" them.

Anybody care to bet how many "ACORN" disruptors will show up to "disrupt" them? They will be easily identifiable by the huge banners across their chests, or possibly Mao-style uniforms, emblazoned with "ACORN."

12. This Is Called Setting Up For Failure...

My bets are a majority who show up at these tantrums will be the curious and the mediatypes. It'll be more like a gapers block than a protest...people always enjoy watching a good freak show.

Now after all the tea is bagged...then what? Where's this "populist" movement leading? Other than off the cliff.

It's amusing to hear how brainwashed so many rushpublicans are about how evil ACORN and George Soros is...it's Pavlovian...ACORN has become the new ACLU...another boogieman that has no merit but sure sounds good when a Rushbo or Hannity bitches about it.

IMHO, this is another Schaivo circus...another demonstration by a minority that is both ignorant and self absorbed. Instead of creating some "populist" revolt, they will end up showing how idiotic and clueless they are.

19. I Just Heard "When Was The Last Time Conservatives Protested"

It was spoken by a wingnut...as if they just discovered some magic power and are ready to unleash it on the great unwashed.

You are right about the Schaivo "black hole"...it's never mentioned, but IMHO, it was a major turning point in the "conservative" movement. It paraded the goofies and zealots into millions of living rooms and scared the crap out of a majority. The corporate media went for the ride...all but cheerleading for "congressional action" and then backing away when they were surprised by polls that showed such a negative reaction. It's been buried since.

The fun will be to look at the number of "protestors" wearing suits and looking like they'd rather be somewhere else.

Cheers...
