** The Official Teabagger Nashville Fundraiser Watch Thread **
Edited on Fri Feb-05-10 12:12 PM by Clio the Leo
You can see all the fun and games here...
http://www.pjtv.com/page/Tea_Party_Convention/148/

No one is speaking now, but the last speaker dealt with voter registration drives. Spent most of the time talking about ACORN and dead voters (because, ya know, Obama won in '08 because ACORN managed to fake 10 million votes from the deceased) and seemed to have NO idea what "OFA" was. Seriously.

There was a great deal of talk about purging voter rolls to try and remove these zombie Obama voters but she refused to go in to great detail because "we dont know WHO is out there listening." (Like David Plouffe is sitting at his computer with a pen and paper taking notes or something.)

She also blamed the entire "Democrat" party for women not having the vote because US Grant was President at the time that Susan B Anthony began her movement. She seems to think he was a Democrat when, in fact, he was a Republican (civil war! Hello!)

I didn't catch her name, but she's from Smartgirl politics.

One of my Twitter-crush bloggers, Dave Weigel is spying reporting from the event. Here is a pic he took from the media room (there's no one there.)


I'm off today and it's a yucky rainy day. I think it's a good day to camp out in my PJs and watch this whole charade. I'll keep you updated. ;)

14. Reminds me of that ugly green background McCain "used"
in some of his appearances and ads. Depressing.

50. Perhaps if they had let state media in, it would look better.
They're interested only in national media, and as a member of the Tennessee media, that pisses me off. Not a smart move, guys, because guess what our story tomorrow is focusing on?

10. Now some pudgy kid....
... who looks to be about 23 is going to address us on the Next Generation of Conservative Activism. He's "Young Americans for Freedom" Exec Dir.

Now, I'm sorry for calling him "pudgy" but you have to admit there's a trend among .... them people.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat some more Hamburger Helper. :)

22. Well, the pudgy kid was reasonably sane and intelligent...
.... talked about how he'd organized his campus against a proposed CA law that would limit the size of the TV you can purchase (to conserve energy) and they rallied supporters by tapping into the gamers.

Get him to lose a few ... change his political slant and we could use him. :)

17. They're off on a tangent now about going into the schools and checking text books
Edited on Fri Feb-05-10 01:10 PM by Emit
to make sure there is no liberal bias in the texts - tax payers rights to check in on the way their kids are being educated - talking about the need to bring in more conservative teachers and to check the text books.

Talking about the liberal bias of high schools and colleges, how civic classes require students to go and volunteer for abortion clinics (!)

updated to continue...

Left leaning organizations lead to the decay of America.

41. Now says that "Obama is trying to destroy our American heritage..."
"by promoting the homo-sex-yuls."

Cites apologies to Muslims and bowing to the Saudi king as further proof that he's the anti-christ.

Oh and he was too smug when he said "I won."

Again, this would be "Bu-RACK O'buma" he's talking about.
