So I planned on going to a tea party meeting tonight to check out the insanity...
I totally forgot and just got the alarm message on my phone reminding me.


Should I go? I kind of want to bring a bowl of popcorn.

I'm just looking for cheap entertainment/ mild insight into the minds of freepers.

1. Yes, please go! Then report back to us what happened.
I'm especially curious if anyone there will actually complete a whole, complex sentence; and, if so, if anyone was able to patch together a logical, consistent paragraph.

4. Does this make me an official reporter for DU?
:bounce:

Can I make a badge??!?!?!?

Can I stand up and scream "STOP THE PRESSES" half way through the meeting and run out?

22. I actually met a family at a tea party protest that I was counter protesting at...
They were very nice. After 3 hours of being screamed at by angry assholes, they invited me over and gave me a free cup of lemonade from their stand.

6. Cheap entertainment, yes. Any type of "minds" is debatable.

7. Good luck,
and try to stay calm. I don't think I'd be able to get through it without calling names--at the very least. The stupidity of those people gets me so riled!

12. Hmm I feel like asking them to pose for photos for DU will not go over well.
Call it a hunch.

But I guess I could ask at the end.

27. The meeting doesn't start for 2 hours.
I've got plenty of time to fantasize about having a love child with Palin.

29. Quick question. Do you have any experience with voice recorders?
I'm trying to find a cheap one to record the meeting.
