After all the chest pounding on RIF it seemed like the "revolution" was washed out by rain.
Hmmm?

Oh the humanity!

Channel 12 mentioned that 1200 people were in line to get their books signed.
there was no coverage of the brewpub revolutionaries-what were there,12?
I wouldn't stand in line like that to get a book signed unless it was Cormac McCarthy,and he doesn't sign books.
I got a few books signed by tess gerritsen,a mystery/thriller who used to be a doctor-no long lines,and she takes a lot of time with each person-a very interesting lady.

There were protesters? I had no idea!

I was so happy that I went to this--it was wonderful to be surrounded by like-minded people and everyone was courteous and gracious to a fault. And Mr. Beck was wonderful--the only thing that concerned me was that I thought he should have had MORE security.

God Bless You Mr. Beck!

Andrew, thanks so much for these pics. The only thing funnier than this protest was the ProJo's coverage of it. lol You will laugh out loud at the "journalism".

Oh, they were protesters, I thought they were pan-handlers. My bad.

Tim,

Thanx for the thanx, and for pointing the Projo story out.

RI Tea Party members should take note: If you can get 14 people to stand outside of somebody else's event for about an hour, you become eligible for a headline and a substantial portion of the newspaper coverage that comes out the next day.

I completely concur about the Projo's coverage: "Protesters greet Beck" are in big bold letters,

Then you read into the story and it says that Beck was greeted by "hundreds of supporters," all the while all the other news outlets put the actual number at about 1200 supporters. There were 14 protesters there briefly and they got the headline. I will be so happy the day the Projo shutters its doors.

Pictures really do say a thousand words! I guess the pursuit of dry and toasty socks outweighed the pursuit of revolution.

Even though the wait was long and hot, it was worth it. The people in line were terrific. We talked about tea parties, 9-12 project, the corruption in our nation, and especially our state.

The folks in our area are fed up with the usual cast of characters, and intent on voting them out. This was also true of the MA contingent in the next line over. We consoled each other over the fact we have such nitwits representing us, as Barney Frank and Patrick Kennedy. Folks complained about the form letters from Reed, Whitehouse, and other reps and senators from MA and CT that these folks are so out of touch with their constituents. It seems that the folks that have voted in the past for these guys are repenting, and will sin no more.

This was predictable. After all, the group organizing this had "socialist" in its name. Sounds pretty stupid...unless it's a conservative astroturf group.
If there was much of an opposition presence, the 21st-century Elmer Gantry could strut around squawking "Hey - look at the Socialists!" With some validity.
This capitalist figures, why give him the satisfaction?

Rhody-astroturf group?You know better because you post on RIF and this was promoted there by Shaun Joseph and Pat Crowley-are they Republican operatives?
They probably saw the crowd and said the hell with it.They apparently weren't allowed in-there are still some private property rights left for the time being.
Crowley and these clowns are legends in their own minds.

I doubt Beck showed the pictures last night. And the owners are smart enough businessmen not to keep two people out of the joint for political reasons. Hell, I'm not cutting up my Borders card - eventually, they'll host a book signing that will piss off the right even worse.
BTW, did you read the ProJo op-ed yesterday from the Dallas columnist who ripped Beck from a conservative perspective?

Rhody-the owners are also smart enough to keep out ANY group that might cause a disturbance in a crowd.They are thinking liabilioty,not politics,period.
The ISO is the same group of sh*theads who tried to block prisoner transport vans at ICE HQ.

I like this site very much so much excellent information. Thank you, very much.

One thing I'd lіkе tо reply to іѕ that fat reduction plan fast may be accomplished bу the suitable diet and exercise. A person's size not only affects the lоok, but аlѕo the оverall quality оf life. Self-esteem, melancholy, health risks, and physical abilities are damaged in fat gain. It is роssible to make еvеrуthing rіght but ѕtіll gain. Should this happen, а condition mаy be thе primary cauѕе. While a lot food and nеver еnоugh physical exercise arе uѕuаlly accountable, common health conditions аnd traditionally uѕеd prescriptions may greatly increase size. Many thanks fоr yоur post here.

One thing I wаnt to discuss іs that fat burning plan fast can be achieved bу thе appropriate diet аnd exercise. People's size not merеlу affects the lоok, but аlsо the complete quality оf life. Self-esteem, depressive disorder, health risks, as wеll аs physical skills аrе disturbed in extra weight. It іѕ рosѕіblе tо just make еverуthing rіght and at thе ѕame time hаving а gain. Should thiѕ happen, а medical problem mаy be thе primary cаuse. While too much food rather than еnough exercise аrе usuаllу to blame, common medical ailments and trusted prescriptions can easily greatly help tо increase size. Kudos for yоur post right hеre.

I think othеr web-site proprietors shоuld tаke thiѕ web site as an model, vеrу clean аnd wonderful user genial style and design, as wеll аs thе content. You аre an expert іn thіs topic!
