I'm counter protesting a Tea Party at the AZ state capital tomorrow...

[ASUliberal]

And I'm really nervous because I am pretty sure I am going to be out numbered a few hundred to one.

Do you think this is a good idea? Am I going to be stabbed? haha

I need input

[movonne]

1. I wouldn't do it...just ignore them...

[ASUliberal]

2. I would do that

But I know AZ is a big state for libertarian values and the news is going to have a field day.

I just want to present the other side to the argument.

[ingac70]

3. Don't bother.

Why counter protest a bunch so foolish as to call themselves "teabaggers"? LOL.

[LynnTheDem]

4. Just hold up a sign listing all the republicans who just voted AGAINST

the LARGEST TAX CUTS in US history.

[NYC_SKP]

6. Glad you chimed in.

I was gonna direct the OP to your post on the matter.

One big sign should do it.

[ASUliberal]

7. But they don't identify with republicans...

these are libertarian fringe groups who hate republicans too.

Telling them about republicans won't help.

[Captain Hilts]

5. Ignore them. It's their nightmare to be ignored. nt

[provis99]

8. Offer to teabag a few of them. n/t

[YOY]

9. Why is it that the only folks counterprotesting are people with 30 posts?

My God you idiots really think we're that dumb don't you?

[Skittles]

16. hilarious, no?

they are so fucking paranoid and stupid

[LostInAnomie]

10. Don't bother.

You'll only be giving them the attention they are craving.

[rwheeler31]

11. Why would you want to,

If you have good video equipment record from a safe distance.

[ASUliberal]

14. I was just going to grab a lawn chair and make a few signs

and just chill with a drink a safe distance away. Maybe take some pics.

[Hello_Kitty]

12. I'm going!

I really shouldn't but it's like a car wreck that I can't look away from. I wasn't planning to counter-protest, I was just going to observe. Are ASU students planning anything?

[ASUliberal]

15. I haven't heard about anything planned.

But there might be something going on.

[jillan]

13. I say just ignore them.

I'm in Chandler, and I thought about going down there, but decided all it would do is piss me off.

JD Hayworth, and the whole KFYI hate radio station is going to be holding a rally down there.

These people are not worth my time.

[MichaelHarris]

17. 100 to 1?

I bet less than 20 show up. Conservatives do great internet talk but when it comes time to leave Mom's basement they get sort of twitchy.

[ASUliberal]

18. Well that's even better for me

[countmyvote4real]

19. zzzzzz

Do you have a job? Rent or mortgage to pay? Credit card debt? Healthcare or healthcare insurance or none of the above?

I am obligated to rent/utilities/CC debt. I can't do it now that my hours have been cut back to unemployment filing. That's just me. Do you or anybody you know have children?

Retaining a tax cut for the wealthy means nothing to anybody without a job to extract taxes that I gladly paid, all my life (except for the last eight years) for the greater good of my community. And now I need help.

Tossing and shipping/posting a whole bunch of tea bags is almost insane if the act is supposed to address any of my issues. Or yours.

Ultimately, you're going to want to get your tea bag(s) back.

I use mine a couple times or more before I toss them.


On edit: Welcome to DU!
process if you're serious

I just don't believe that my issues will be addressed by this astroturf event or any contra event staging. I say, "film and document the teabaggers for the fools they are."
