ATLANTA - Tea parties are being planned for this coming Friday in more than a dozen U.S. cities, including Atlanta.

They won't be silly tea parties like the one from Alice in Wonderland, but serious demonstrations like the Boston Tea Party of 1773 that protested British taxation.

The one set for noon on the steps of Georgia's State Capitol is being planned by several local groups that recently banded together on the internet.

"The time for rhetoric is gone and it's time for action," says Debbie Dooley of Duluth. She and co-organizer Michael Mealling met face to face for the first time Tuesday.

The grassroots protests are spreading around the country thanks, in part, to a recent on air outburst by CNBC Business Reporter Rick Santelli.

[madrchsod]

9. it`s really amazing how ignorant these people are

using the example of the boston tea party is wrong. i guess these morans forgot to read the history of the boston tea party.

will they dress up as indians?

[Joanne98]

10. The Boston Breast Milk Party!

Selfish babies, who want the country to fail, are going to get together in a big rubber ducky and throw their teats overboard!

[GinaMaria]

12. This has been in the works since August

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5102005

This didn't suddenly occur. It is not spontaneous. This is a stage media stunt. Get ready to counter protest.

[No Elephants]

14. What do tea bags have to do with the stimulus package? I get it's a protest, but

geez.

[jpak]

15. This will be strong economic stimulus

for the porta-pottie industry...

:evilgrin:

[Hugin]

16. I guess GE Financial will be giving back their share of the bailout?

What was it? $9Billion?

No?

I heard Rick was good for the money.

[niceypoo]

17. Let them have their little fantasy

They act like crybabies everytime they lose an election. In their pitiful minds, calling it a "tea party" somehow magically makes it patriotic. 15 or 20 Waddling, dumpy, middle aged white guys with potbellies, mullets and star spangled bandanas tied around their heads dressed as fake indians.

:rofl:

[gabby garcia]

18. being partially Native American

I would take great offense at that.
