Massive Fail at Uni-Tea Rally

Wingnuts • Views: 3,233

Yesterday in Philadelphia there was a rally intended to show the incredible diversity of the Tea Party movement, called the “Uni-Tea Rally.” The featured speaker at this event: Andrew Breitbart, who certainly knows a thing or two about race-baiting.

Unfortunately, the only non-white people at the rally were onstage: 500 white people show up to big Tea Party diversity event.

Here’s a video that pans across the sparse, old, white audience; the person who shot the video posted a comment at YouTube saying he counted six black people in the crowd, some of them wearing press passes.

Youtube Video

An epic fail, on so many levels. Was attendance so low because the Tea Party movement is collapsing, or because the teabaggers really aren’t interested in this “diversity” stuff — or both?

I think both but mostly because the Tea Party thing is winding down. We’ll see how Glenn Beck’s Lincoln Memorial thing goes but people just aren’t showing up to these events. Right wing blogs aren’t even covering them anymore because the attendance is embarrassingly low.

I call dude not funny on this as we’ve yet to see that ACORN’s difficulties with registration fraud (they legally have to turn in all the registration ballots they got even the ones that are 99% most likely fakes, just on the off chances that there is someone really named Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse (parents can be cruel)) ever lead to any noticeable voter fraud….

maybe they blew their load too early?…TP burnout?
I myself am bored with the whole thing and after awhile I’d expect the supporters to feel the same way….but it’s not really much of an indicator of what will happen at the polls

They were paid speakers for the event. Also if you scroll down to the bottom of my post last night the Fox affiliate used fake footage to make the rally look larger. They used 6 month old footage of a tea party in a different city.

You just brought back the most awful thing I think I have ever seen that includes a scooter. And I’m going to share it.

Tea party activists travel to Colonial Williamsburg

Bill Barker, who portrays Thomas Jefferson, meets with tourists after a speaking event in Williamsburg. Williamsburg executives said they have certainly noticed the influx of tea partiers, and have also noted a rise in the number of guests at the museum who ply the costumed actors for advice about how best to rebel against 21st-century politicians.


Heh.

re: #42 brookly red

If I recall, a couple years ago there was an article about a town (I think in Florida?), where so many morbidly obese people rode scooters it created a sidewalk and pedestrian traffic problem. The photo with the story showed a whole herd of fat people, some of them relatively young, basically terrorizing the town on their scooters.

I understand many people truly need them, just like people truly need handicapped parking spaces. But to be obese and lazy, and rely on a scooter to cart your fat ass around, is really a pretty sickening indication of people’s slothfulness. Like gluttony, last I heard it was a sin (not that I’m religious).

I hear you… my teacher does a tai chi class in a city housing senior center & I go when I can to assist. The seniors (a lot of them) are being encouraged to use these scooters instead of walking 150 feet to the store… they are going from getting not enough exercise to zero exercise at the push of a button.

I have a neighbor who was like that a year or two ago. She was in really bad shape but she finally got some help and I haven’t seen her use her scooter in ages and she’s lost enough weight that she can do a little yard work, carry goceries from the car, etc.

I was also on Independence Mall yesterday but at the vigil for the three hikers who have now been held for a year in Iran. I wondered what the hullaballoo across the green was about.
How ironic that people who are ranting about the government taking away their rights while freely assembling within sight of the LIberty Bell, seemed unaware or indifferent to the real plight of 3 Americans whose rights and freedom have been completely trampled by a country that really is dictatorial and oppressive.
Would have been a good PR move, if nothing else, if a sizeable contigent of TP’ers had managed to walk (or Segway even) the 50 feet from their soiree to the vigil.
People screeching about freedom don’t seem to realize how free they are.

On a related note, Colorado is the least obese state in the country. I don’t know what is that much different about the state. It has a lot of people who like to do outdoor stuff, but that’s all I can think of. Even the outdoorsy types don’t make up a majority of the population.

Maybe less fried food and fewer overweight parents? I think if you look around and half your family is overweight, it doesn’t seem odd. If your family is normal weight, you’d be the odd duck, and probably be encouraged to eat better and exercise more, than if you were surrounded by people content and used to being obese.

Attempting to vote as Mickey Mouse is illegal. (Unless your name really is Mickey and you can prove it)

To be entirely fair, the Tea Partiers have consistently gone on finding black speakers, despite the black community’s total lack of interest in them. I think there is some good will there, they just can’t really bridge the gap to figuring out why no one who isn’t white is attracted to this movement.

it’s not the people who use them that bother me it is the system that pushes these scooters on the them that bothers me.

Medicare Advantage = Big Scooter.

So, in a way, yes.

re: #86 SanFranciscoZionist

To be entirely fair, the Tea Partiers have consistently gone on finding black speakers, despite the black community’s total lack of interest in them. I think there is some good will there, they just can’t really bridge the gap to figuring out why no one who isn’t white is attracted to this movement.

People who aren’t white aren’t as terrified of everybody who isn’t white… which, lets face it, is a large part of the motivating force behind the movement.

It’s fear of demographic change.

Very true. However, I’m still pretty sure most of those people who aren’t showing up to the rally’s will go out an vote in November. Remember, election day is a Tuesday not a Saturday or Sunday. Participation may be down but I wouldn’t count on the brainwashing to have dissipated just yet.

a little offended by being called a “tea bagger”, which is yet another reason I seldom visit this website anymore…

Que pobrecito! You know, it was teabaggers who called teabaggers “teabaggers” first.

As I have in the past, and somewhat present, I have enjoyed CJ’s enthusiastic blogging. However, this bullshit about breitbart’ infinite guilt is troubling. The man doesn’t hide behind curtains to express his utter distaste and discontent with the Dem’s or the NAACP. he has come straight out and said he wishes to take down the left. having said this, i find it not at all difficult to imagine breitbart in fact receiving only a portion of the video in question over that ding-bat sherrod and her racist husband. He has said that the video he showed was in its full content as he received. Nuff said there.

relating to this weak ass post regarding only 6 black “teabaggers” were seen. I ask you Charles J, who the hell is race baiting now.

Come on CJ, lets get a little more class back into you my man.
