Tea Party, protesters clash at Glenn Beck event

September 19, 2010

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political Reporter

Even before Glenn Beck took the stage at the Right Nation 2010 gathering in Hoffman Estates Saturday, a sideshow started outside.

While 5,400 conservatives headed inside the Sears Center, about 200 protesters joined in song and prayer outside, accusing Beck, a Fox News commentator headlining the event, of promoting hatred and racism.

They held signs accusing Beck of lying and calling him a coward.

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who is also scheduled to speak at the event, confronted the protesters. He screamed that they must be union members who had been duped into protesting.

1. They can't handle being disrupted
Just like they did to Democratic Town Hall meetings last year. Fucking babies.

3. If any of these teabaggers are students
then they should have there government student loans stopped and repaid immediately.

4. Because they wear everything they are on the outside
They're so shallow there isn't much to look at on the inside.
