Seems like a bad idea: Major Tea Party rally planned for San Francisco Saturday

[n2doc]

For at least a few hours on Saturday, San Francisco won’t be nearly as liberal as usual: A major Tea Party demonstration is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday in Justin Herman Plaza.
Tax Day (or Tax Day Eve) is a national holiday of sorts for the TP crew, and certainly not a celebratory one. Saturday will be the first time that “over 10 Bay Area groups are collaborating to put on one event in SF,” Tea Party organizer Sally Zelikovsky tells us. Special guests include KSFO’s own Melanie Morgan and guests are encouraged to wave their “NOBAMA 2012 finger waggers” — an homage to Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s finger-waving tarmac confrontation with the president.
Why come to San Francisco? As the online flyer says:
“San Francisco is symbolic: the cradle for progressivism in America.
“Never intimidated – We penetrate Occupy encampments, Plan Bay Area, City Council meetings or the State Legislature to expose the Truth and stand up for our Rights.”

6. To what end?

Accomplish what?
These people are AIMLESS.

7. If I am in town I wil go and --

report on this event. I am sooo glad I saw this post -- I had no idea this was happening. I suspect gawkers will outnumber participants.

8. "Major Rally"

11. Not enough mobility scooters - must be a photoshop

9. Will Occupy oppose them face to face?

If so then I'm driving down to participate.

13. Justin Herman Plaza was the home of Occupy SF

so it could well happen.

16. "We penetrate Occupy encampments"

Sounds like they're looking for somebody to wag their finger waggers at. (I'm surprised that they couldn't find a venue in the Castro to protest marriage equality. )

If you really want to be there, the teabagger site offers a helpful map and driving directions.

17. Oh I know where this'll be at

I'm just worried whether Occupy will be there to oppose them.
