Rockford Tea Partiers show up in Rockford to harass Wisconsin Senate Dems

[wndycty]

Fuck this tea bagging motherfuckers!



-snip-
Local Tea Party coordinator David Hale scrambled to the Clock Tower after reading reports that Wisconsin Democrats had flocked to the hotel. He arrived in time to confront Holperin, who was in an interview with local media outside the hotel, and told him to “go back to Wisconsin and do your job.” Holperin attempted to respond but then left after his answer was cut short by Hale.

“You’ve taken an oath of office in the state of Wisconsin to uphold the constitution of the state of Wisconsin and to observe the people’s wishes in the state of Wisconsin,” Hale said of Holperin after the senator left the hotel. “Instead, you caravan down here in cars and on a bus to the state of Illinois, to flee you’re constitutional responsibility. Whether you like the legislation or not, at least stay on the floor of your senate and do your job.”

9. Dick's Army got out awful quick for being all "grassroots and homegrown".

All those independent thinking teabaggers... scary bunch.

4. But if you notice, none of them have shown up for the protests

They like to talk big stuff but they only have rallies where there is no opposition. Stand up to these windbags and they will fold like a cheap cardboard box. No different than standing up to the school yard bully.

11. Exactly correct they assume there to be no opposition to their hate and lies.

Tea Party organizers at first tried to provide their imported agents to be bussed to Wisconsin for support, it appears they backed down. We will have to see what tomorrow brings.

5. What a bunch of busybodies

They need to mind their own business, which is not Wisconsin's business.

6. That senator doesn't work for this Illinois teabagger

and frankly, why wasn't Hale off somewhere doing his OWN job?

It is past time that people start standing up and telling the Teabaggers that they don't represent ANYONE but their ugly, greedy selves.

10. Exactly!! Hale can only vote in Illinois.

They must not have any rocks big enough to bury him.

[Marr]

7. Who wants to bet this fellow has direct ties to the Wisconsin GOP?

[mzteris]

8. he IS doing his job!

He's doing EXACTLY what his constituents want him to do - - - HALT WALKER!!

[gratuitous]

12. The only proper response to Mr. Hale

"Thank you for your concern."
