Sorry, I will be watching Glenn Beck.
Give 'em Hell Michele!
You and the other Tea Partiers will be surrounded by Liberals in Washington D.C., Take No Prisoners Congresswoman Bachmann.
I'll be there in D.C. tomorrow, but our bus leaves at that time.
MLK III could be standing tall aganist hate with his neice on Saturday .. Instead he chooses Al Sharpton …. So sad sir, so sad …
Here's what the Memphis paper (MLK assassinated there) said about the event .. Couln't help but throw the Klan word in … and left out the part about his niece speaking at it. (Weird) That city will never change ….I think they have no less than 5 politicians in jail as we speak ….
Steve Cohen is the 9th district rep… He is also the one sittng next to Maxine Waters when she does her "socialism" rant on youtube. He is also part of the Socialists Caucus in Congress !!!

This seems kind of unseemly opportunistic to have a political rally on the heels of Glenn's Restoring Honor rally, which he has painfully strived to ramain apolitical. While I support you and what you stand for, this ad, the timing, and the location compared to the event Glenn has spent months on seems cheap and petty.
Go Michelle Bachmann…
GO TEA PARTIES U.S.A. – TAKE AMERICA BACK, One Brick At A Time, IN NOVEMBER
ON THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT, Beware of the racist lies from the:
NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus, New Black Panthers, and DNC False Prophets
Sad is right….. His niece will be standing with Glenn at the Restoring Honor, and the way the sharpies and jacksons have been bashing her is JUST what her family was against. To me….she is honorable to go through what she has to take a stand.
The rest of the double standard media, trolls included……. all I say is this…..SHAME ON YOU!!!!
I was thinking something similar. But on the other hand, since Glenn's event is NOT to be "political," it could serve as an opportunity for more typical political protesters to attend an event that suits their mood. I will give Bachmann the benefit of the doubt that she doesn't mean to infringe on the Restoring Honor rally.
Al Sharpton holding his counter-rally on the other hand, get's no such benefit from me.
Maybe she will draw off some of the liberal haunters that will try and defraud Beck's event. I call them haunters because they float around normal people's rallies and yell Racism like BOO!
Michelle, I hope you have a great turnout…And, I wish both you and Beck much
success tomorrow…Your both on the same track, or pretty close to the same
track!….Those Big G people that are going to be there..enjoy!!
Not to defend Al the race hustler but I think his event is annual, I think I heard that on Becks show??
Actually she scheduled the event for the moment the Restoring Honor event is scheduled to end, she wasn't about to stomp on anyone's toes with timing…
There are a smorgasbord of events going on tomorrow some before some after and only two during the Restoring Honor event. One is the King celebration with Al Sharpton and the other is the New Black Panthers' protest to Restoring Honor and those are the only two intended to stomp on anyone's toes or create potential trouble.
All in all there is a good deal of separation of distance and timing between each competing event so I'm really not worried about any muckrakers trying to make a name for themselves in front of the cameras.
Your right, it is held every year. And Glenn explained why he chose that day, not realizing it was the day of their rally. Innocent mistake, it wasn't intentional at all.
My take on this whole thing is, they hate Glenn to begin with, and if they had any love, honor, or sense at all in what MLK stood for, they would stop acting like cry babies and join with Glenn, rather than spew hatred around. Imagine the Historical event it would be if THAT was to happen.
I think she's hot.
There is some irony in the NBP's protesting the Restoring Honor rally. Why wouldn't a bunch of thug criminals want to protest such a thing. Makes perfect sense. One action of few really. LOL
I like Palin/Liz Cheney
You are right. My issue with the right-reverend is that he's taken every opportunity to bash Glenn's rally in order to promote his own; once again using his usual race baiting techniques to get his face in the media. He could have benefited by supporting Glenn's rally and opening an invitation to anyone in town to also attend his commemoration, but that wouldn't have fit into his divisive style of racial politics.
I wish I could have been there…will either watch on facebook or listen via sirius radio….
Dont want to trivialize her or the work she has done……but I have to agree with you there. She definitely is
Hot, intelligent, and a conservative….what a combo!!!
I second that.
It appears to be a matter of intended confrontation on the NBP's part, our people will remain peaceful and turn the other cheek and rely on cops to do their jobs. Al Sharpton's event will be peaceful but the timing on his part was very deliberative and we have to rely on his promise to co-exist on the mall…
Maybe he'll accept Glenn's offer to come over and speak as a guest?
We'd love to have him say a few words if he would, this isn't about politics and maybe he'll actually get that message and see that we mean no harm to his event or Dr King's legacy.
The door is open and the invitation is out there…
Errr… what happened to Glenn Beck? Shade opportunistic of you, eh Michelle?
I'm sure the Black Caucus will walk right through the middle of the crowd and hope to be spit on again… still waiting on the first $100,000 to be taken gentlemen …
Lock arms people … Starting singing the national athem … that will freak them out .. might even here the cracker word a few times
BRING IT !!!!
oreo I thought so as well at first, but then I reconsidered, perhaps Michelle's event will pull in folks
from MN that would not otherwise attend the Restore Honor event,,,,does that sound desperate?:-D
.
Turning the other cheek is going to be the best policy in our defense but you're right about not breaking ranks…
Off Topic: Just heard on radio, all the voting machines and other assorted poll supplies for Harris Co TX
(Houston) were destroyed in a warehouse fire……..HOW CONVEEEEENIENT!
ACORN ANYONE??? Could this be THE October surprise.
Look out for more storage warehouses going up in smoke, especially if the Dems fear they are loosing
traditionally BLUE swing districts…….
Wonder how long the Houston Fire Marshall will be investigating the cause of this disaster?
Perhaps through November!!
.
C-Span will be broadcasting Glenn Live from 10 am to 1 pm tomorrow.
What is Fox doing?
Thank you for the invitation to kiss your ring, massa'. If you really were for the Tea Party you would leave the GOP, but you haven't done that have you? You are just out there sucking up for votes and money like any other political whore. And what a whore you are.
Tell us, Ms. Tea Parties – I missed the Michelle Bachmann Tax Reduction Act. Can you send us a copy?
Tell us, Ms. Tea Parties – I missed your endorsement of Ryan's Pathetic Economic Plan. What happened?
Tell us, Ms. Tea Parties – I missed your declaration of support for a Constitutional Convention. Can you send us that declaration?
Tell us, Ms. Tea Parties – I missed your Bachman Balanced Budget Amendment. Where is it?
You talk the talk, but need to take a walk.
I like Bachmann / Liz Cheney . That would get all the baces coverd.
Me too!
Oh, in that case, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Count me in !
Where did you hear that? Glenn said something about extreme members can watch what goes on tonight. But that they can't tomorrow so the media wouldn't accuse him of making any money.
Fox can't show the whole thing but will have updates. Until the press release is sent out. That will be showed live.
But I haven't heard anything about C-Span.
Viva La Tea Party.
You are just another White House plant paid with tax money to support the Marxist regime.
Hear that? That's the sound of a nail hit squarely on the head.
I think all these conservative women should band together and do a swinsuit calendar!
I'd line my wall with them!
Gee I like Isreal.
You are aware that the left has control of Congress for like 6 years now aren't you?
Who wants a Constitutional Convention anyway, do you know how dangerous that would be?
Dude, what's your major malfunction?
Dr. King's niece is dishonoring her uncle's legacy by appearing with racist Glenn Beck!
No, she just pisses me off. She's real late getting on the bus, but when it comes to demonstrating her commitment to our cause it seems to be limited to sucking up our adulation and money, but that's about it.
If she really wants to be supported by the Tea Parties, then she should join us. If she really wans to be supported by the Tea Parties, then introduce a bill that cuts capital gains taxes by 75% across the board.
If she really wants to be supported by the Tea Parties, then she needs to introduce a constitutional amendment that says government must – no matter what – always have a balanced budget.
She hasn't done any of this. What makes her different than any of the other big-government Republicans who have been ever bit part of the problem we have faced with the pussbag liberal-progressive traitors?
Palin/Bachmann 2012! Campaign motto: I'm with Stupid!
I am getting increasingly suspicious of the motivations here–Teaparty Caucaus? Flies in the face of the principles evident in the tea part movement.
This is just wrong.
Why are these people trying to hijack the legacy of MLK?
Just wanted to stop by and say hi. Would love to be friends with you and maybe more. You are a beautiful woman and I would definitely like to go out with you if you are interested.
MLK was not a Republican. He was a leftist
She has been out in front of this more than just about any of the Republican jerks in the whole bunch.
But yeah, lets just be all pissed off at her. /rolls eyes
Dude, you need to keep your eye on the ball.
No one in MLK's family is a Republican. His niece was shun by the family long time ago. MLK wife before she died was a registered Democrat!
Read what MLK III said about the racist tea partiers http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/arti...
Right, sucking up to the GOP has really helped us out. Oh, but wait, wait. THIS time they will do what they said, right? Oh, wait, wait… This is the most important election ever and we have to get rid of the liberal-progressives and THEN we will see the promised changes. Harry, I don't know how old or smart you are, but I've been voting the straight ticket for 30 years and for 30 years we've heard the promises but never seen the results. Do you know that it's been 22 years since Reagan? In what year did the national debt go down? None of them. In what term of our Republican emancipators in Congress did real household income increase? None.
My eye is on the ball. Electing Republicans is the same as electing those pussbag Democrats – we get the same outcomes with different brands. If she was really who she claimed she was, she would walk away from the GOP, but she is now a start fund-raiser for the GOP. I admire you for supporting her Harry, but do you want to bet on what she is going to do for the Tea Parties? Are you one to wager here in public on what she will follow through and accomplish for us?
They took over 3 years ago.
The Constitutional Convention is only dangerous for the ruling class – we have nothing to lose only the opportunity to put an end to their sick games once and for all.
If that makes me a major malfunction then I intend to stay broken forever. One thing is for sure; supporting doing the same things over and over and expecting a different outcome is a malfunction.
Exactly,Harry!
I share your frustration but our choice is to takeover the Republican party and push them in the right direction, or to lose to the statist.
3rd party support means sure defeat. End. Of. Story.
Ms. Bachmann needs to follow through when given power back – as do all the rest and it will not be easy and much of what you say is valid.
But you are attacking the wrong enemy here.
Legacy ?
Let's see, his call to riot steal, rape, sell drugs, stay on welfare, HUD, food stamps, gangs, lies that they were slaves, the take over of cities, then the rural areas, then sue to take almost every pro sports player job and finally to sell enough drugs of hook their ole ladies to amount $300 million to buy a commie diperhead obama into the whitehouse.
Worse is you find most of the MLK gang are muslims, gee and we wonder why we find MLK legacy was about how to be lazy frickers who are leaches their whole lives with their hands out yet dare not try and sue Africa for selling them as slaves
How's that for a response ?
I have been thinking that, too. Only this time, I envision that they will have a plant in the crowd to yell the N-word.
It is driving them insane that the race card isn't working for them.
That is redundant. :^D
Wish I could be there in body, but spirit will have to suffice. Money is a bit tight due to our unsuccessful recovery under the anointed one's policies of pillage and plunder. However, if I started walking today, I might get there in time to see the saviour ousted from his free room and board in Jan, 2013. Now that would be totally worth the time spent on the road.
Yet a third party is our only hope. Half of my life is gone and I've been agitating for a change in the corruption of the GOP and the ol' boy network my whole life. Everyone always takes the same tone: "don't rock the boat, it could end the party". Hey, as long as you are willing to give them your money and your vote they are going to continue to treat you like a doormat. If we have our own party and elect our own candidates to Congress, then they will have to deal with us every day and respect our wishes. They only understand power when it is in their face. If we are in their face every day blocking their corruptions and forcing them to deal with us they will be much more willing to do our bidding than they are now. This is an inescapable truth. If they really cared they would have done something in the last 50 years but it has all been okay with them because they are getting their cut. What happens to us is no more important to them than the color of your eyes. That's the actual record. They are my enemy because they decided that is the way it is going to be. I didn't start this war – they did. Bustin' my chops is understandable, but doing things the same way and expecting a different outcome from these people isn't prudent in my very humble opinion, either.
I think having her political rally on the same day may be opportunistic but, that's OK with me. She scheduled her event to be separate from Beck's since his is supposed to be apolitical……..and her event is most definitely political.
Good mix, something for everybody………..except ProgNuts.
Wow you really must be misogynist. I notice the democrats also aren't offering up any female candidates.
I agree. I don't know why they are trying to make this association. A lot of MLK sayings are not free market and a lot support communist ideas.
The Fire Marshall should have started at Shirley Jackson Lee's house.
Yes if there are racists in the tea party then they are bad people.
Excuse me yes 3 years, almost 4 by now.
I totally disagree, it's bad enough with the lot of them abusing the Constitution as it stands. Can you imagine what they would pull in a Constitutional Convention? You think Obamacare is bad, boy a Constitutional Convention would be the mother of all power grabs for the statist. Bad idea.
Politics is the art of the possible, you have to deal with reality.
I heard that C-Span is doing it. Found this http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/generalities/...
We are going to have to agree to disagree here brother, although you are correct to be pissed and I am right there with you, 3rd party means we lose.
I read it on As A Mom.
Agreed.
Do you know who Joe Biden is?
I'm jus' saying.
Ok thanks to both of you.
Ya, hey AB how about a Laura Ingraham thread next ok?
How much are bus tickets sis?
Who is we? We already lost. If we get a third party we have a chance of winning and that means the Tea Parties have to come together and elect our own candidates instead of eating the table scraps the Republicans and Democrats are willing to toss to us. I can't keep living off of them taking my money and letting me kiss their rings.
Yet as long as we are willing to play the game by their rules, on their turf, with them being the players, coaches and referees I don't see how we will get an outcome that is any different than we have now. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. At least an Article V Constitutional Convention would prevent Congress and the President from running the show and maybe we would have a chance with the state delegations. If we had 38 states in our hands it would be worth it I say.
Good point. They kicked Hillary to the curb in 2008 and opted instead of a Muslim Terrorist. So telling that they respect the woman's movement so much.
He bases his argument on a faulty premise.
"But his dream rejected hateful rhetoric and all forms of bigotry or discrimination, whether directed at race, faith, nationality, sexual orientation or political beliefs"
He implies that Beck embraces these things……examples, please?
If one's premise is wrong, one's conclusions are wrong.
No way, no third party. The Tea Party is doing the right thing by re-claiming the Republican Party and taking it back to it's original platform of a Constitutional Republic.
Michelle Bachmann has been the most outspoken stateswoman in DC.
BTW- Do you need to use the word WHORE in your post? I think it's inappropriate.
You're either being disengenous or you haven't been paying attention.
Michele Bachmann and Steve King have been the most active protestors in the Republican party against the growing onslaught of Marxist policies coming out of the White House. Please do more homework before posting things like this. It's factually inaccurate.
Funny that Alveda King understands her uncle better than MLK III understands his own father.
Your side is losing, and they will continue to lose this red herring argument.
We, means you and I. I was trying to make the point that you don't have to agree with me for us to be able to dialog, maybe your just in jerk mode then, whatever. Have a good day.
You support 3rd party.
Leftist radicals remain in control of Congress and the executive. More of their SC appointees, end of game. We will never recover from that.
Hell we may never recover from the damage they have done by now.
The truth is that what you say 'Electing Republicans is the same as electing those pussbag Democrats' is a damn lie. Republicans voted against Obamacare with near unanimous Republican opposition. Is that the same? No it is not.
Now this is boring me, I am through with you.
Our bus is 35. / person.
I remember the days of the Moral Majority and how they said the same thing. Reagan bowed to us and then once he was elected he did his own thing. As long as we give the Republicans our votes and our money, what reason do they have to change what they are doing? I'm 48 years-old and I've heard the "we're taking back America" bit over and over and over again. We're suckers for believing it and they laugh down their shirtsleeves at us.
Look at what they are doing RIGHT NOW. I think Paul Ryan's plan is b.s. (but not for the reasons you might suspect), but it does represent the party plank on economics. How many Senate Republicans have endorsed it out of 41? 13. Now why is that ? I thought they were all behind us and behind lowered spending and lower taxes – as set forth in the Ryan Plan. Answer: they really aren't behind us, they are just playing us with some lip service.
Alveda King doesn't speak for the family. MLK was a liberal. He was well known for his opposition to the Republican candidate for President -Goldwater
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SmKUSe83rg
What do you call it when they wait until we are a juggernaught and then decide it's time for a caucus and then tell us we're invited to join HER? Where was SHE 16 months ago? She was hiding under her desk.
having said. Your point is well taken and I will amend it.
“We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifices. Capitalism was built on the exploitation of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor.” – MLK Jr.
MLK was opposed to the Republican nominee for President. He was not a Republican.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SmKUSe83rg
This is cool. I feel like I'm hearing an argument between Eisenhauer and Patton.
Maybe it's a question of strategy vs tactics. The strategy is is for the Tea Party to have the same power of a political party. Either the Tea Party can become a third party or can execute a hostile take-over of an existing party.
Tactically speaking, the latter is the better bet at this point in time. They would achieve the same result without having the obvious problem of splitting the conservative vote.
What are these liberal radicals going to do when a Republican will take the house…President…congress…and senate for the next 100 years.
Glenn mentioned on yesterdays tv show that c-span was considering airing it, but there were
issues with the routing of huge cables through the crowd, etc and they had not confirmed.
I pray that they found a way to work around the problems….. I'd have a big ol smile on my face
to watch this event from TEXAS…..yee haw!
.
You should do YOUR homework. Is she a member of the Tea Parties? NOPE. She's a REPUBLICAN. That's the facts of this matter. Where was she 16 months ago when we were forming and taking heat? Under her desk waiting to see which way the wind blows.
Is she raising money now for TEA PARTY candidates or REPUBLICAN candidates? She is using us to raise money and then has the gall to deign to invite us to her tea party. That's factually accurate and you make me very angry suggesting otherwise. She's a shill for the Republicans and after waiting for them to do what they said they would do for 30 years I am moving on to a third party where there is a chance of a different outcome. You can keep trying to kick the ball Charlie Brown but we both know that it won't be there.
I don't think a takeover is practical. The party structure puts the money and emphasis behind candidates who support the ruling class power structure. We saw it in this primary season with races all over the place. The GOP backs the RINOs who support "responsible government" – code for big government spending, but lower taxes. Harry has his points and I respect the heck out of him for standing his ground, but the reality is that as long as we give them our support they will keep doing things the same way. They only seem to change when they lose power. My theory is that if they lose some of their seats to legitimate Tea Party members (not GOP masqueraders) then we all win.
Thanks. I don't want you to delete your post either. I hesitated in saying anything because I don't like to abridge anyone's free speech.
Which 3rd party have you moved to, if you don't mind me asking.
There are a gozillion third parties out there and they don't win anything.
How many House Republicans supported Ryan's plan? I moved here from WI so I know that Ryan is a Conservative.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. The people that work hard dont make it, they just end up being slaves for the rest of their lives.
Oh, and capitalism didnt exist before the United States…..anywhere else in the world…..not in any similar form……
"The truth is that what you say 'Electing Republicans is the same as electing those pussbag Democrats' is a damn lie."
I agree wholeheartedly!! If that were true, there would be 435 votes in the House and 100 votes in the Senate affirming every single Obama bill.
If we do not take back at least the House, well…..I can't even type it because it is too horrible for me to think about and it keeps me up at night.
You have not read or listened to anything that she has released, have you?
There is no Tea Party as a political party, and to make it one is to destroy any momentum.
Third parties do not work, and I do not support someone who wishes to turn the Tea Party into one. Stay independent, but don't drag the movement through the mud.
We may just have to vote for some Rinos this election cycle as long as they are a lock on the NO vote for any more of Obama's bills.
Alveda King doesn't speak for the family? SHE IS THE FAMILY! How ignorant are you?
MLK was a Republican. He was against the war on moral grounds, not political. Please eat your Cheetos and scurry off back to Huff and Blow like a good little troll.
I think a take-over would be slower, yes, but maybe more practical in the end. But, I'm not as certain as Harry. I really do like your argument though, because it's bold and gutsy (you're definitely Patton). The problem I see is that the Repubs won't loose seats to the Tea Party, because the Dems would grab it.
MLK, MLK Sr. and well as Alveda's father were all Baptist preachers who loved the Lord and believed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ not the social Gospel.
