TEA Party rally to burn Perriello in effigy

» 107 Comments | Post a Comment

DANVILLE — The Danville TEA Party plans a “Fired Up For Freedom” rally Nov. 21, which will end in burning Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5th District, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in effigy, according to a news release from organizer Nigel Coleman.

The news release had an original embargo of Nov. 20, meaning the media couldn’t report it until that date. However, another news organization broke the embargo Friday afternoon by posting the story online.

The rally will be held at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at 5927 U.S. 29 in Blairs. The event is open to the public.

“We were outraged to find that Tom Perriello had voted in favor of this bill. I was with dozens of 5th District voters in his office two days before the vote and we pleaded with him to stand with us against the Pelosi plan,” Coleman, Danville TEA Party chairman, said.

TEA Party Patriots is a national, nonprofit group that promotes fiscal responsibility, limited government and free market principles, according to the release.  Local TEA Party groups like Danville’s are autonomous and separate from the national organization.

I just got tired and had to get in, first a story the other day about a Poole guy he was of no kin to me.Okay to a poster who tried to break down some of the language barrier you were pretty close ,now onto to the real business of the set’s of not only anger but disagreement of the White House. The Republican party or yes the nick-names have showed us how dangerously of showing faer tactic’s along with a little truth but not enough to tip the scales.Stand strong all those who supported President Obama and his Cabinet, along with the party see these cries you read and hear is that of like a baby whining it’s self to sleep. See this change or reallt this Country first camp need us to stay strong ang ignore the tear’s of fesr for they are hyping out.Before you entertain to much more when of if you ever hear Vice President Biden or Hillary say and stand by a disapproval and leave then get worried until then the Prseident is not here and his Cabinet with other’s are making sure we are one. No shoe’s thrown but just screamer’s yet understand this for we the Nation did have un-employment and finiacial problems already on the horizon, know why they did not win they were not trusted enough to be Leading,yet now they should be supporting for all American’s should have some consceince on at least something’s for we have come together before so get a the way for a minute for just like some of we did change oru way’s that fast, President Obama is with the help of the party not the invisible man who say’s we can’thelp our people or be a just always a caring Nation see we just a s more world wide then here. The only thing I would like to see is it can be done is fro Senator McCain be invovled in the distribution part of any more fund’s that go to help out States.With him I think the money will get to the palces this administration is targeting for these rumor’s the money went out at the State level and if any count is off see those and werre the money was apllied only to be fair.This is still our Country be he your or not yet he is mine so stay strong my fellow beleiver’s Change did really come .

My, my.  Funny how a little effigy burning gets the collective underwear of the progressives in a bunch?  Effigy burning is a time-honored protest, especially for all of those peace-loving muslim terrorists around the world. I’ve never seen progressives get troubled over the US flag burnings that happen too frequently in our country or the ones that love to urinate/defecate on symbols of Christianity.  Seems to be a little hypocritical to me, but I expect no less from the whiny salad tossers and obamatrons on the left.

And once again you prove my point JP.  This is becoming a habit.  Thank you so much!

I WIN AGAIN!!!  I could get used to this.

Rockit.  It wasn’t spoken - it was written.  You made two errors.  Get over it. 

That’s like saying “Blow it our your barracks bag,“ which SpencerO wrote was dialect (aka “street language”) where the pronunciation of “out” is “our” (like “oil” is pronounced as “all” in local dialect).  She made one typo; you made two errors in grammar.

No one is buying your excuse about writting which you, obviously learned from “Grammar for Dummies.“

I know you are a little testy after the neutering operation, but you’ll soon be back to your same, almost literate, self.

‘Nuff said.  Peace.

Very good English lesson Rockit. I am glad to see some people paid attention in English class.

Have you ever thought of volunteering, or tutoring?

Just curious.

Actually JP, that statement was supposed to be written as it would sound if spoken (as if we were carrying on an actual conversation).  In that way, in street language, the d would not be on suppose and the exclamation mark signifies that it was not a question, just a statement made in mock incredulity (like “are you freakin kidding me!“).

Are we really at a point where I have to teach you and Spencergirl proper grammer (or in your world I guess that would be grammar)?!

You so petty it’s embarrassing.  I hope and pray that you and Spencergirl are not involved in the public schools because if you are, our next generation is doomed.
