Cincinnati has long been nicknamed “Porkopolis” because of its long association with the pork industry. So it’s a particularly poetic twist of fate that Porkopolis should be the scene of a huge Tea Party tax protest this Sunday.

Thousands of latter day tax rebels showed up in the city’s Fountain Square for the Cincinnati Tea Party, a grass-roots effort protesting Washington’s recent record setting spend-a-thon. But did the mainstream media notice?

“Unless you frequent conservative websites,” NewsBusters noted, “you’d have no idea that such events were being staged.”

The reporter said that people were harassing Obama supporters. I didn't see that.

I was there. It didn't happen. It was a very respectable crowned. Actually too respectable. We should be boiling tar and plucking feathers at this point. There were two black girls that walked by on the south edge of the crowed and one said ... can you believe this shit, I can't believe they are protesting Obama. About five minutes later two young black guys were walking by, again on the south side of the crowed and started yelling Obama..Obama...Obama until the were down the block. A few people yelled back from the crowed no Obmama and Obama and your momma. There was no harassment, no confrontation, nothing.
