Bachmann to join ‘birthers’ at St. Cloud tea party?

If folks who were wrong about minor stuff — like where Obama was born, or that the Minnesota Independent is, well, independent — were excluded from attending the rally, I’d be horrified, myself.

The sponsors’ web page is at http://teapartymn.com/current-events/091209-march-on-dc/st-cloud/ . I see some stuff of interest to some in it, but, as opposed to a flier that somebody says was left on some windshield somewhere, there isn’t a mention of “death panels” or Obama’s citizenship.

The actual website at http://teapartymn.com/current-events/091209-march-on-dc/st-cloud/ reads:

Thanks for twice providing a link I included in my piece, Joel.

You’re more than welcome, Paul. I figured, what with it being hidden in plain sight as the middle link in your piece, with the supposed text from the supposed the flyer supposedly left on some supposed windshield dominating most of the unreal estate, above, a bit more of a pointer to the real stuff was warranted.

I’m not sure what the point of stuff found on windshields is, though. I just found a flyer on my windshield that says that asks “Is Paul Schmelzer the illegitimate love child of Mary Kate and Ashley?” which seems unlikely, them both being female and you being older than the twins. Really. (I typed it up myself, and put it on the windshield, so it wasn’t hard to find.)

Not true. I’m legitimately their love child!

Damn. Were you born in Kenya?

No, and I’ve got the documentation to prove it around here… somewhere.

Yeah, sure.

Obviously a completely unbiased post….
(catch the sarcasm)

Go Joel.

And the independent is not so independent, more liberal.

Well, to quote CIM bigshot Robin “Rue” Marty accurately, albeit kinda out of context: if you have any questions about the independence of the Independent: “please hesitate to ask.”

Birther convention or no, this is crazy sh*t. Out of control spending? Hows about $13-20 TRILLION down the Pentagon hatch over the next ten years… more than every other nation combined. For a fraction we could provide health care for everyone and a lot of other cool stuff. Alas, the war racket is going strong under Ds and Rs alike.

Teabaggin’ in short:
Killing people? Go ahead, take my purse! And my children, too!
Healing people? Get a job, you communist mindrapist!

Out of control spending?

Well, yeah; look at the numbers, even without Obamacare.

Well subtract the wars then, too, because that’s what Bush did to sneak the cost of those past you.

My source has supplied a scan of the flyer, which is now posted on Bluestem Prairiev in a jpg format.. His friend car was parked in the SCSU parking garage when the flyer was placed on its windshield.

Joel, When you look at yourself in the mirror do you just chuckle and say “I am so full of shit but I am making a living doing it.”

Why, no, Dean. But thanks for asking, really.

See you at the Tea Party!

I spent a bit of time at the St. Cloud Tea Party looking for birther and deather and truther signs. Didn’t see any — didn’t even see Van Jones.

Bet Michelle was really disappointed. Did she find someone to “speak truth”

She gave a terrific speech. (Unsurprisingly, the Michele Bachmann who you see standing in front of a large, friendly crowd is somewhat different from the version constructed of gaffe snippets at MnIndy.) I thought King’s speech was the best of all, but I’m fond of erudite academics; fortunately for me, that isn’t a crime, yet.

Lots of variety of opinions — but, as far as I could tell, no truthers or birthers or deathers. Generally rightish, of course, but there was a small crowd of about six anti-Bachmann protesters at the fringe of [the crowd | political discourse]; I acknowledged them during my short speech. The video hasn’t been compressed, yet, but you can find it at http://jewwithagun.com/teaparty.MOV , if you’re interested.

Note that the crowd cheered a quote from Hillary Clinton, one from Hubert Humphrey, and an Eleanor Roosevelt story.
