Awesome! I can't wait to join the protest against the ObamaDems' "Porkgasm" in D.C.. I'm going to create a volcano out of pork which I will wear around my groin, and I will hold a sign that says "Monitor this, you wealth-confiscating Commies! Because I'm about to Blow!"
Cool, huh?
So what are the details about this
Team Sarah Louisiana and its affiliate group, Louisiana Resistance, will host a “Tea Party“ and “Anti-Pork” protest rally on Saturday, March 7, 2009, at 1:00 pm in Veterans Park, 200 Feu Follett Road, in Lafayette.
Quick question: Who the cluck is "Team Sarah Louisiana" and the "Louisiana Resistance"?
Oh. Team Sarah refers to the Louisiana contingent of Sarah Palin fans, and "its affiliate group", Louisiana Resistance, apparently refers to the luminaries at this "Patriotic Resistance" web site.
PLEASE NOTE: access to the Louisiana Resistance group goes through RESISTNET.COM-- not through RESIST.COM, which is a White Aryan Resistance web site. Despite the similar domain names and similar red-on-black web presentation and similar anti-tax stances, these are probably very different groups, with very different membership demographics, with very different outlooks and objectives.
Yes, surely any similarities between the Louisiana Resistance web sites and the White Aryan Resistance sites are purely coincidental.
But this Playboy investigation into the suspicious moorings of Rick Santelli's "spontaneous rant" and the "Tea Party movement" gives me pause. (I watch Rick Santelli on a daily basis, and like his commentary on commodities. For several days, I'd seen the "Santelli rant" thing on the internet and assumed they were referring to another "Rick Santelli". I was absolutely shocked to learn that the "rant of the year" actually referred to CNBC's Rick Santelli. His performance is so out of character that it does arouse suspicion.) Please read the evidence compiled by Playboy and see if you think there's a connection. Here's the nut allegation:
What we discovered is that Santelli’s “rant” was not at all spontaneous as his alleged fans claim, but rather it was a carefully-planned trigger for the anti-Obama campaign. In PR terms, his February 19th call for a “Chicago Tea Party” was the launch event of a carefully organized and sophisticated PR campaign, one in which Santelli served as a frontman, using the CNBC airwaves for publicity, for the some of the craziest and sleaziest rightwing oligarch clans this country has ever produced. Namely, the Koch family, the multibilllionaire owners of the largest private corporation in America, and funders of scores of rightwing thinktanks and advocacy groups, from the Cato Institute and Reason Magazine to FreedomWorks. The scion of the Koch family, Fred Koch, was a co-founder of the notorious extremist-rightwing John Birch Society.
I may attend this Tea Party demonstration in Lafayette and invoke the memory of Crispus Attucks. I'm sure that will be warmly received by the dozens of "patriotic" resisters (representing all colors and creeds) who are rising out of the grassroots and coming together to tell the DemoLibSpendthrifts to "Stop the Insanity".

Update: Look who else is going to be in Louisiana on March 7th! The Sam Adams Alliance will be doing an all-day workshop in New Orleans for "invited" bloggers and operatives while the spontaneous, grassroots patriots "rise up" in Lafayette. What an interesting coincidence.
Here's the link the Playboy article made from the Santelli rant to the associated "movement" web sites to the Sam Adams Alliance:
Within hours of Santelli's rant, a website called ChicagoTeaParty.com sprang to life.
...
ChicagoTeaParty.com was just one part of a larger network of Republican sleeper-cell-blogs set up over the course of the past few months, all of them tied to a shady rightwing advocacy group coincidentally named the “Sam Adams Alliance,” whose backers have until now been kept hidden from public.
Wow. I don't know which "Party" to crash.
