TEMECULA: Anti-tax rally set for Wednesday
Organizers are preparing for possibility of counter protest

TEMECULA ---- Guy in Grim Reaper costume. Check.
A "Zombama" (a President Barack Obama tax zombie). Check.
"Don't Tread On Me" flags. Check.
Patriotic and anti-tax songs blaring from a boom box. Check.
And that's just the top half of the checklist that Rick Reiss has written up for an anti-tax "tea party" rally scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday at Temecula's Duck Pond Park.
Reiss, a member of the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly, said late last week that he's got more things on the list that will be unveiled during the rally, one of numerous anti-tax events that have been scheduled across the country on tax day this year.
"We're going have at least 50 people there. This thing could end up being in the hundreds," he said, describing the wellspring of anti-tax fervor in Southwest County.
While the original Boston Tea Party Colonials dressed like Indians to throw the British off their trail, Reiss said there might be some people dressed up like Colonial patriots to hammer home the "tea party" theme.
There might also be some Uncle Sams in the group and other costumes.
"I gotta tell you, this is a grass-roots kind of thing, not a top-down, organizational-pyramid thing," he said.
The preponderance of anti-tax events this year is generally credited to conservative talk radio hosts, who have taken the "Joe the Plumber" mantra of the 2008 presidential election and scribbled it into a narrative that portrays the Democratic president of the U.S. and the Democratic Party-controlled Congress as villains hell-bent on raiding the pocketbooks and wallets of hard-working Americans.

Who the hell would protest FOR taxes?
Great signs! I’ll be working on mine soon. My Mom and I will be there!
How about this for a sign...
END SLAVERY
FREE U.S. TAXPAYERS
The last picture is more proof that conservative women are happier and [much] better looking than sour liberal hags.
I hope the conservative babes at the Louisville rally are as nice looking as these fine ladies!
“...narrative that portrays the Democratic president of the U.S. and the Democratic Party-controlled Congress as villains hell-bent on raiding the pocketbooks and wallets of hard-working Americans.”
Pretty darn accurate narrative!
