'YOU GOT THE WRONG SYMBOL, BOY!'
VIDEO OF TEABAGGER HOUNDING STREET VENDORS OUT OF DC 'TEA PARTY' RALLY RAISES QUESTIONS

On the face of it, it's a video of a white man harassing a group of black kids out of a rally many feel had racist leanings. But the man says that the kids were from ACORN, a group he says is especially hostile to the agenda of the Sept. 12 "Tea Party" in Washington, DC. And he, Tim Jones was someone who didn't want people from ACORN trying to disrupt or in this case selling flags to the assembled to raise money for their group, so he took it upon himself to make them leave. But then we add to this the fact that ACORN says they never sent anyone to the "Tea Party" rally, and in fact aren't in the business of sending people out there as vendors. This is a concern that has been raised over the past week, but Jones doesn't feel inclined to defend himself or for that matter make all that much of a presence since the video came out, and the person who shot the video is being dodgy trying to cry about our link to Max Blumenthal and telling us to "piss off". So with the credibility of both the cameraman and Jones himself in question, we have to assume with no other evidence saying otherwise, that these kids were not part of ACORN. And if we take that particular item out of the equation, what are we left with? A video of a lying white man harassing a group of black kids out of a rally many feel had racist leanings. Read on.

2. "ACORN" is the new black
It's the new favorite codeword among the teabagger crowd.

8. What has this country come to?
This mob mentality is dangerous. I am not sure how to put a lid on it. I am simply at a loss.

9. He's also a freeper
although he's only posted once, he's now tied irretrievably to that nest of vipers. Seems that all roads lead back to freeperville.
