This is going on my tombstone: "From coast to coast they called us racists, they called us Astroturf! When I look around us tonight, do you know what I see? WINNERS!"
Sorry you guys feel let down but there's a difference between testicles and an inability to read social cues. The choice was either be rude to grandma and/or get smacked in the mouth by hubby and neither felt funny enough to try.
We were there last night. It was a polite friendly crowd.
I love that it was "mostly white"...um, how many get togethers in the PNW aren't?
I was there for about an hour. I did see two black guys, two black women, several Asians and Latinos and at least one Jew...the one I was there with!
Funny tho' that at an event where race was not mentioned or eluded to once the writer of this article was so obsessed with skin color.
Everything said by the speakers (at least for the hour or so I was there) was of a positive nature.
No name calling, no disparaging remarks just upbeat "go team" kind of stuff.
Too bad you didn't run into us and try your "I can think of one thing that's too big to fail and it could really use your stimulus package" on my wife.
We could have taken you into the men's room and made you show us. Maybe we could have even had a sword fight while my wife watched and readied herself.
Oh well, maybe next time.
I mean, unless you have something against Jewish-on-Gentile threesomes.
You didn't point out the Christians, gays, atheists, college students, grad students, PhD's, in the audience. And next time you want to know who that "some dude" on stage was, just ask an adult. That was constitutional law professor Jim Huffman who ran for the US Senate. He didn't win but did receive at last count 542,000 votes from all the "five toothed," "racist," tea-blanking people other people just refer to as "Oregonians."
You should have let me introduce you around.
Thank you very much for coming and covering the event, though.
Does *anyone* at this newspaper have testicles?
Non-Racist Tea Party FTW!
