Springdale Protest After-Action Report

We had 40+ people on hand at the Convention Center in Springdale, which was not bad on such short notice. Sen. Lincoln stayed inside while county officials, almost all of them from her party and almost all of them with their hand out, feigned attention.

Here is a rundown of media coverage. 1) The print media stayed inside like the good little establishment hacks that too many of them are. They did not even come interview.

Liz Hogan for KNWA probably gave the most fair coverage of the event.
Tess Maune of 40/29 gave a fair report too. I was there on behalf of the Benton County Tea Party and have a short sound bite on each story.

Contrasting their balanced reporting, KFSM gave one-sided coverage of the event. If you listen to all three reports I think you will see what I mean.

A favorite tactic of scummy people in politics is to accuse the enemy of exactly what you yourself are doing. Nancy Pelosi says that the health care protesters are fake grass-roots, "astroturf". The truth is just the opposite. "Organizing for America" is on my.barackobama.com and even has a symbol that looks like Obama's campaign symbol. They are an arm of the DNC using the name of a Democratic office holder to drum up counter-demonstrators. Even worse, Craig's list now has job listings where they are PAYING people to counter-demonstrate. That is fake grassroots if I ever saw it.
