Tea Party Leader: “Liberal blogs” Messed Up Plans for Effigy Burning Over Health Care Reform

So sad. :(

Nigel Coleman, chairman of the Danville Tea Party, says the local property owner hosting the rally asked him to pull the plug.
“We will not be going forward with the plan,” a crestfallen Coleman told me by phone moments ago. “We had to cancel it. The property owner won’t allow us to do it. The media attention was something that he didn’t want.”

Coleman said he was upset that people had gotten the wrong idea about his plan. “I’m disappointed that the story got out of hand and people misinterpreted something we thought would be a little historical lesson. They made people believe that we were committing an act of violence,” he said, adding that the “they” in question were the “liberal blogs.”

So now that those dastardly liberal blogs (uh, that would be Blue Virginia and Firedoglake, among others) have messed up the teabaggers’ most excellent plans for their Pelosi-and-Perriello-effigy-burning “TEA party..."

1. Danville, California?

3. As per usual, it's not that they are idiots with stupid ideas...

It's those damn librul blogs! Shut 'em down, fercrisakes!

:rofl:

4. Oh yes, they didn't want the media attention

That is, they didn't want any attention that they didn't have 100% control over so that their story line didn't get messed up by inconvenient opinions, facts or reality. I keep hearing how these tea party folks are the real he-men and she-women archetypes of red-blooded Americanism, but they sure seem to cut and run in a big hurry whenever they're confronted.

5. Come on! Teabaggers burning Pelosi and Perriello in effigy is not more violent than the KKK burning

a few crosses on lawns of the descendents of slaves.

6. Yes, burning national political leader in effigy is not violent at all,, but

burning a flag should get you the electric chair. Freeper/Teabagger logic at its finest! :crazy:

7. "The media attention was something that he didn’t want."

This, from the man who was callously promoting his 'Event.'

What's that old saying about cockroaches and daylight?

8. Blogs! Blogs! We need more blogs!

The more-liberal the better!

;-)

9. Burning Pelosi in effigy?

Well to be honest, when she said "impeachment is off the table" I can't say the thought didn't cross my mind....
