Sorry, lefties, but that won't happen. Go ahead and take your best shot. Every Tea Party will have people looking out for you and even pointing you out to their attendees. Bring your running shoes because if you show up with racist signs you're going to have be able to run faster than the Tea Party security people.

That's great that you want to run off people with racist signs, infiltrators or not. On principle. I am a leftist who seeks dialog with the Tea Party movement; the left has no business essentially being the pit bulls of the Democratic party. I have been engaged in trying to talk fellow progressives out of an exclusively hostile stance toward the Tea Parties. Anti-war candidate Ron Paul has appeared at tea parties, and for supposed "leftists" to circle the wagons around a president who is currently escalating an overseas war when Paul is arguably closer to our principles is sheer cynicism. Just to let you know some left-wingers defend your right to free speech and don't write you off. I ask that you not write all of us off either.
