Fascists & fascists & fascists & less fascists

Today was the huge, colossal, gigantic Tea Party rally in Covington, Kentucky.

Yes, the one that drew all of about 20 people.

Seriously. This Tea Party was so wimpy that the entire thing fit under one picnic shelter. Some of our protests against Pathway Family Center drew at least as many people, if not more - despite not being publicized beforehand. But I was standing across the street (along with several counterprotesters) to keep an eye on the Tea Party crybabies, and I saw it all!

Oh, and the title of this entry? It's from that makeshift grave marker the Tea Partiers set up that said "TAXES & TAXES & TAXES & MORE TAXES." Yes, the one that fell over soon after the rally began. I don't know if they set it back up, because this event was so pathetic that I just went home halfway through it.

Long story short: You could hardly hear a word the speakers at this event said. I guess their sound system didn't need to be that loud to reach 20 people. One of few things they said that I could actually hear was when they said we supported gun control. That's a lie. We don't support it.

I also caught bits and pieces of the later harangue in which a speaker tried to claim (falsely) that the Constitution was based on conservative Christianity.

In other words, the usual lies meet a shrinking audience.
