KKK Go Away!
When I was a kid, the Klan got a permit to hold a rally in the small town where I lived. The residents of the town were disgusted and posters and fliers saying "KKK Go Away" were posted throughout the town. It ended up being a very small rally-maybe 10-20 Klansmen, but the crowd shouting "KKK GO AWAY!" was much larger.

The Tea Party Hatriots ARE the Klan. They may not wear sheets but that is the only difference. We all know that. So, I have a proposal. I am going to post the locations from the Tea Party Express website of the rallies they have scheduled. If you live in, or near, one of these locations post some fliers and/or banners saying "KKK Go Away" and "Tea Party Hatriots=KKK" throughout the town in the days leading up to the rally. Write a letter to the newspaper comparing these hatriots to the Klan and express your disgust that they are coming to your town to try to influence your elections. Perhaps you could even organize a "KKK Go Away!" counter-rally.

Here is their schedule:

1. I Like The Term TeaKluxKlan
I saw it used on another site recently.
It sure describes the blend they've become.

The term only had 352 hits on google but I bet the term TeaKluxKlan®
could go viral if it were used more often. (hint, hint)

6. I like that, too! Thanks!
I think the important thing is to call them what they are and they ARE the Klan.

TeaKluxKlan, TeaKlanners, Hatriots. It all works for me.

I wish I had better computer skills. I'd make up some fliers. Maybe some creative DUer could help?

10. Glad To Help

I Think I need to re-work the lyrics of the
the 60's tune "Drug Store Truck Drivin Man"
dedicated to Ronnie Raygun during Woodstock.
Joan Baez
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K2OZUgGqkw

A quick change of the lyrics.....

He's a tea bagging plane crashing man
She's the head of the Tea Klux Klan
When November comes rolling around
Vote all Klan Baggers down...

She's from Alaska you see
and she winks and she flirts on cable TV
and the media buys it as a credible rap
but everyone knows it's pant-load of crap.

He's a tea bagging plane crashing man
She's the head of the Tea Klux Klan
When November comes rolling around
Vote all Klan Baggers down.

etc
etc

2. FYI.. the "Detroit" rally is about 20 miles north of Detroit.
I am pretty sure I can get a group to counter protest. I went the the "Coffee Party" meeting 2 weeks ago (although I missed today's) and there were plenty of people who want nothing more than to confront those morons.

I am going to go post on the Troy Coffee Party page on Facehook. Thanks for the info (yes, I know, I hate Farce book too but it is what they are using)

8. and they're going to Little Rock!
Arkansas may be a red state, but Little Rock is very blue. I watched local news last night where people in Little Rock were interviewed by a reporter, they spoke like an intelligent person! They were unhappy with Blanche Lincoln.
