So sad. :(
Nigel Coleman, chairman of the Danville Tea Party, says the local property owner hosting the rally asked him to pull the plug.“We will not be going forward with the plan,” a crestfallen Coleman told me by phone moments ago. “We had to cancel it. The property owner won’t allow us to do it. The media attention was something that he didn’t want.”
Coleman said he was upset that people had gotten the wrong idea about his plan. “I’m disappointed that the story got out of hand and people misinterpreted something we thought would be a little historical lesson. They made people believe that we were committing an act of violence,” he said, adding that the “they” in question were the “liberal blogs.”
So now that those dastardly liberal blogs (uh, that would be Blue Virginia and Firedoglake, among others) have messed up the teabaggers’ most excellent plans for their Pelosi-and-Perriello-effigy-burning “TEA party,” what ever are they going to do? I got it, how about something like this? Ha.

Yeah, those damn librul blogs. It’s not like burning someone in effigy can be construed as violence or anything. Just some folks out to roast some weenies is all it was. I mean really. /s
It was a pseudo-lynching. Lynchings often ended in the burning of the victim, sometimes while alive. It’s to their credit they stopped it, for whatever reason.
I have been thinking the “tea baggers” do themselves more harm when they partake in violent actions. They look more and more radical.
Just keep wondering when the MSM will ever focus their cameras on some of the peaceful actions of pro health care reform groups. Seems like they only bring their cameras when people are packing guns or burning effigies.
