Hey, was your patron saint Larry Craig at the Idaho gay patriot event? You know, the one held at that rest stop off of I-84 near Boise?

If you were honest, instead of a piss poor, Terrified Liberal, you’d look through the archives and realize that NONE of us supported Larry Craig. But you’d rather be a juvenile, dishonest sack of crap instead.

What’s more, how is it that you’re so familiar with rest stops near Boise?

There were some counter-protesters in Knoxville. They were passing out handouts with “facts” on them, and there were around 10 of them total. I saw people talking and debating with them, and happily, everyone was civil and pleasant. No yelling, no name-calling, no profanity. I was proud–truly people of every persuasion were welcome.

Yes, and isnâ€™t it awful that gay pride parades be made to look good? It is, when you consider the behavior that the Obama Party supports and considers normal and "common". Why should we endanger children by covering up what Obama Party members like yourself are doing at these "pride" events?

Yes, and isn’t it awful that gay pride parades be made to look good? When you’re a “gay patriot,” the closet’s your thing, the darker and nastier the better. Hey, was your patron saint Larry Craig at the Idaho gay patriot event? You know, the one held at that rest stop off of I-84 near Boise?

#8 – Just like in Harry Potter, where laughter will help defeat either a Boggart or Dementor. Same rule applies to liberals.

LET’S ROLL!

Good advice. Heaping kindness will only anger them more and when they see they canÂ´t accomplish their goal of a confrontation they will probably pack up and leave. Have a good party!

#6 – Ditto here in Houston. They give the wingnuts more airtime than the real patriots.

This is an exciting day. People have organized themselves and are gathering to say that they love their country and want her to be secure financially and geographically.

Don’t let the opposition, who are so quick to call people “haters,” bring down the tone of this day of Americans. Our Founders are smiling today, let’s smile, too, and let the agitators be frustrated in their aims.

#2 “They are going to be interviewing as many people as they can in the hopes of finding someone, anyone, who will say something that they can make look stupid, ignorant, offensive etc”

They did they same thing at the Iraq war protests
– And they do the same thing at gay pride festivals

Its what the media does

I saw somewhere (was it here?) a post from a lefty blog where the author claimed to have professional looking camera equipment with which they hoped to fool people into thinking they were with the press.

And if anyone that says they are with the “Press” or a news service… Ask for credentials up front, who their supervisor is and then tell them you will get back to them if they leave a phone number. Unless you know who they are and they are a recognized journalist. Gonna be a few “Fake” News crews out there..

Great advice Dan for our fellow Tes Party activists today. Moderated and respectful conduct in the public square in the face of immoderation.

And equally great advice for how best to treat dissenting views on a blog, too. A kind heart, a good word, strong advocacy without submitting to the temptation of vain ideological strumping.
