Laughing my butt off now, talk about backfiring. The DHS has caught some major well earned flak for their shoddy no facts/specifics report on "Right-wing extremist"

500+ people (as well as hundreds more of the drivers passing by the event who honked and waved in support) showed up at the Belair, Maryland Tea Party. In the rain and wind.

And when it was mentioned about us being called Extremist, we all cheered and laughed

...oh yea.. we did have a amazing ACORN Counter protest against us.....

....a grand amazing total of..... 2 nuts.......

....Get it? ACORN? Nuts? ......
Well I thought it was funny...

Janet Napolitano (head of the DHS) let me clarify something for you

We've been called various slanderous names, we've been told to "shut up", we've been made fun of by the MSM, particularly MSNBC with their juvenile "Teabagging" insults. We've been threatened by HuffPo, ACORN, Code Pink, Daily Kos and others in their attempt to stir up trouble...

We've delt with cold weather, we've delt with crappy weather...

You think your little report made up by a bunch of idiots who can't even do their jobs right, calling us Extremist is going to scare us away? 

Heres what you've accomplished: You've helped to spread our message by giving us more press!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

If in order to get our message through to our elected official who've ignored the will of the AMERICAN PEOPLE (not Republicans, not Democrats, but our Nation of law-abiding citizens) is to be called Extremist. Then bring it on! I rather be an Extremist who'll stand up and use his first ammendment rights to express his concerns, than a coward who hides and is bullied into silence.

UPDATE: Someone pointed out something to me.

One insult/Attack from a crazed liberal aimed at Tea Party goers was that we were the equivalent of "the Weather Underground terrorist"

Huh.... didn't  seem to bother anyone during the election that a certain Bill Ayers, a former Weather Underground member who felt his group didn't do enough, was an associate of Obama.

And... I don't recall any Tea Party event committing criminal/terrorist acts.... Oh wait... forgot, we dared to speak out and peacefully protest against the Governments wasteful spending, and ignoring the voices of the people who elected them. I'm sorry... I thought the U.S. was a democracy where the average citizen has a voice...
