What! How is it possible that 300 "conservatives" could hold a rally and not become violent? Can you imagine an article concluding with, "The protest of the G-8 summit in France had a liberal bent, but, somehow, never became violent."? Well, no news source can ever say that because the euro-socialists ALWAYS become violent at protests and burn the poor host city down.

Unlike some, I actually DO care about the demise of the print media. I wish they would work harder at being trustworthy and relevant.

Two last stories to share: Some guy with a hand-held video camera approached the MI Taxpayers Alliance table at Lansing tea party and started asking me why I was at the protest. I told him, but he started asking me lots of questions about social issues. He was very polite, but wouldn't quit trying to goad me into talking on camera  about gays, minorities, abortion, etc. The poor infiltrator finally left, all frustrated that all I would talk about was Granholm's record on taxes, spending and jobs.

Lastly, go check out our little buddies' blog at MichiganLiberal.com. This past Tuesday, they advocated a leftist "takeover" of the taxpayer tea parties. They suggested:

"I think we should capitalize on all the media they are going to get by showing up at these events and showing them what REAL populist anger looks like. We can hijack their event to send our message.
All you have to do is go to their corporate funded website, find a protest in your area and show up tomorrow with signs that reflect the reality of the populist anger in America and especially Michigan right now. Remember to bring a videocamera if you have one!
 Some suggestions for signs you should bring:
 "I support President Obama!"
"Universal health care NOW" Etc...

How did their "real populist anger" look? They won't say. MILiberal was strangely silent yesterday about their "hijack" effort. Their silence was deafening. Its quite funny.
