In 2010-11, when Beck put out the call, tens of thousands responded. Today, no more than a few hundred true believers (including the paid Beck employees), and a few homeless people drawn to the rally by promises of a hot meal.<br /><br />After the 2012 election, if anyone needed any more evidence that the Tea Party is dead, these two sleepy "rallies" featuring A-list TP royalty should be all the proof you need. bbkingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837055667750129209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-52174127832535346612013-10-14T10:27:34.631-05:002013-10-14T10:27:34.631-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959167904074354782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-66927375309947151522013-10-14T10:03:19.359-05:002013-10-14T10:03:19.359-05:00Barry can't take a 99% yes for an answer.

At least the vets stacked the Barrycades neatly which is more than can be said of the Panic In EBT Park shoppers who left a mess for the store staff to deal with. Too bad the vets can't do the taxpayers a favor in put those Barrycades in front of welfare offices. cubanbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746305669005611456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-28618171217114256612013-10-14T09:38:19.602-05:002013-10-14T09:38:19.602-05:00Moving barricades is a quality act of civil disobe...Moving barricades is a quality act of civil disobedience.<br /><br />1) A tyrannical government policy was mocked effectively.<br />2) No one was hurt or threatened<br />3) No public or personal property was damaged<br />4) No unsafe conditions were created.<br />5) Supporters of the policy are reduced to casting ridiculous, blanket aspersions and questioning the authenticity of the participants as veterans.TosaGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520232078421382322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-13653823578720260152013-10-14T09:24:38.737-05:002013-10-14T09:24:38.737-05:00Pardon the expression Ms Althouse but quit being s...Pardon the expression Ms Althouse but quit being such a p ***Y<br /><br />The barricades are not a permanent feature of these monuments. They were put there for a political purpose having nothing to do with the purpose of the monuments. <br /><br />The administration needs to be held accountable for its unnecessary petty political actions.<br /><br />The Vets did not damage nor did they intend to damage the monuments. I don't remember if you objected to the action by illegal aliens on closed property. If people who aren't citizens can carry out political protests so can the people that were willing to put their lives on the line for tenured law professors living in freshly floored ivory colored mansions.Phaedrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300091061497918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-60581791780416409072013-10-14T09:08:54.744-05:002013-10-14T09:08:54.744-05:00"Those who visit veterans monuments — even if...<br />"Those who visit veterans monuments — even if they too are vets — ought to show respect for the monument, not perform political theater..."<br /><br />You can say that in spades for the bozos that had a hand in putting up the Barrycades in the first place.Abdul Abulbul Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053690570915734728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-15523465966828466172013-10-14T09:08:40.667-05:002013-10-14T09:08:40.667-05:00"Those who visit veterans monuments — even if...<br />"Those who visit veterans monuments — even if they too are vets — ought to show respect for the monument, not perform political theater..."<br /><br />You can say that in spades for the bozos that had a hand in putting up the Barrycades in the first place.Abdul Abulbul Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053690570915734728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-14846648018242386802013-10-14T08:33:42.094-05:002013-10-14T08:33:42.094-05:00Could not disagree with you more....
