the anarchist are revolting...
Some how this will be blamed on the Tea Party movement..
Those dang Tea Party folks. You mix in a few Amish and look what happens... /s
Some how this will be blamed on the Tea Party movement..
Definately.
Shoot, shovel and...
Anarchists, leftists and extreme liberals are common in Olympia, Evergreen State College profs very well could have been among them.
Just so we are clear, this was a peaceful protest, NOT an example of “seditious conspiracy”....
Don’t you remember? “Dissent is patriotic.”
As long as it’s from the Left.
No ....black clothes and black masks.
TPM colors of red white and blue, marks the dangerous men and women of the TPM.
As long as nobody thinks they may have heard a racially-insensitive insult, we’ll be alright.
Clean them up.
Your right! They stink on ice!
.
That’s what it will take.
BTW - all white european stock protestors. The same comment of Tea Party rallies.
These are “people” who do not believe in the rule of law and behave like pests. We all know what the cure for pestilence is, right?
Anarchists organizing. Now that’s an oxymoron.
My wife, daughter, and I went to a Tea Party rally at the capitol building in Olympia this past summer. I don’t recall any rioting from them....interesting.....who could have done this...?
Democrats. They're going nuts. Their messiah is in power, and they're still going insane.
Naturally, the left dresses like the terrorists they are. I can't wait to see the "Vileness, hate, and violence of the left wing protesters" all over the TV today. The MSM has a great story here. I'm sure it'll make the Breaking News segment any minute now (/s).
