After his initial speech Jeff Katz talked to me about what got him involved in the tea party movement.
I’m sure Jason Levin thinks this man is dangerous.

…at the Post Party Summit today.
Anita MonCrief at the Post Party Summit
I think we’d better not tell Joan Walsh about Anita being here.. If anyone told her that the attendees of her Voter Registration workshop didn’t express shock, call her Nigger or walk out I think Joan would get the vapors.
Did she ever retract her claim concerning John Lewis? I don’t think so.
(Oh and in case you didn’t know I don’t do this “N-word” nonsense.)
Update: Wrong link updated.
Update 2: Better not tell Charles Blow either.

Drove down to Danvers to cover the Post (Tea) Party Summit
Jeff Katz WXKS
The Summit is here to teach how to get involved beyond protesting professionally with workshops on running for office, voter Registration and even blogs and fundraising.
The Axis of Fedora grows
115 people are here today to get beyond protesting.
And of course to Join the Axis of Fedora….
Update: That 115 count has increased as I’ve been sitting here I’ll give you a final count as soon as I have it.
One more thing about that Fox poll concerning the Arizona Law…
Posted: May 7, 2010 by datechguy in elections, internet/free speech, opinion/newsTags: arizona immigration law, democratic party, fox news, illegal immigration, just deserts, polls, reality
Here is he breakdown among democrats on a few questions in that poll:
Q: Do you think Arizona was right to take action by passing it’s new immigration law?
Yes 43% No 41%
Q: Who deserves to be targeted by demonstrations over the immigration issue. The US or Mexico?
Mexico 60% US 17%Q: Do you favor building a wall or fence across the border?
Yes 46% No 47%
Q: Do you favor using US troops to patrol the border?
Yes 53% No 41%
Q: Do you favor using the National Guard at the border?
Yes 73% No 22%
Q: Do you favor fines and criminal charges against employers who hire illegal immigrants?
Yes 71% No 23%
Remember these results are all among DEMOCRATS who were a plurality of those polled by a margin of 41% to 37% of republicans with 18% independents.
Democrats please please please keep bringing this up. Protesters please please please keep protesting this law. Rachel Maddow, earn more flowers!
Update: Glenn makes a very important point:
Forget the Arizona bill itself. What this poll says is that despite weeks of national-media coverage that was unrelentingly negative, calling the bill racist, drawing Nazi analogies, etc. — only 15 percent are really against it. Sorry guys — you’re still talking, but people aren’t listening.
When you only talk to yourself that’s all you ever hear.
