Dem Congresswoman's Supporters ~~Stage~~ Participate in 'Palin-As-Hitler' Rally

A video showing protesters outside an Americans For Prosperity event has surfaced on the internet. It shows the protestors with signs depicting Sarah Palin and Glenn beck with Hitler mustaches and the label "Naz-Tea Party" over their pictures. Also depicted as Hitler is GOP candidate Adam Kinzinger running against Rep. Debbie Halvorson (IL-D) in the 11th District in Illinois.

This is my district. This occurred in Joliet which is just a little west of where I live. Had I known I would have been there with a video-cam myself.

As protests go, it's a bit limp and poorly attended, but the offensive and inflammatory signs certainly grab your attention. What makes this video so compelling is what it shows after the protest.

Once the scene breaks up, a handful of the protesters, including one gentleman in a striped shirt who is earlier seen leading the group in a chant, walk two blocks away and enter a well-lit office. So well-lit that you can see them chatting and you can clearly make out their faces as the same people who had just participated in the protest.

Continued from Page 6

The well-lit office happens to be Halvorson's campaign headquarters. You can clearly see Halvorson's campaign manager Julie Merz sitting in the window chuckling with the team as the wind-down after a long night of hanging out with people who like depicting the former Vice-Presidential candidate as a mass-murdering fascist.

#1 Bill Clinton is on Face the Nation this a.m. He referred to the Tea Party as an "insurgency." WTF? Insurgency is used to refer to jihadist, Mohammedans, islamicists, etc.---People who kill and blow up things.

#2 Thought Bill Clinton's definition of Insurgency was: The act of placing your unit into a warm place, even while under the Oval Office table, since it has never had such refuge in 20 years.

#3 Their name calling is getting diminishing returns.

"RACIST", "KKK", "NAZI", "FASCIST", and "HITLER" just isn't getting the same bang for the buck anymore.

Particularly when people point out, with proof, that those terms apply more to the Democratic Party than Conservatives.

#4 Definition of INSURGENCY

1: the quality or state of being insurgent; specifically : a condition of revolt against a government that is less than an organized revolution and that is not recognized as belligerency

Sounds about right to me at this point.

#6 Saw where O'Donnell supposedly appeared on the weazel Bill Maher show in 1999. Bob Schieffer on CBSNew's Face the Nation showed a clip from 1999 where O'Donnell mentioned something about witchcraft. Schieffer seemed a little embarassed to mention this. Maher was probably ecstatic to find this in the archives. The comment by O'Donnell seemed innocent enough and taken out of context. Probably she was dressed up as a witch when she was 6 years old on Halloween or some B.S. such as that. Mrs. John QC said the donks are desperate if that's all they got.

#7 NPR also calls the Tea Party an Insurgency.

#8 By NPR's normal definition of things, that would make the TEA Partiers the "freedom fighters" and NPR itself "the mouthpiece of the oppressors".
