It's unlikely with all of the people around at these rallies and happening to be in downtown Raleigh that anyone will notice myself or others following them back to their cars, even if those HuffHo infiltrators are reading this right now. Same goes for other cities.
There have been reports of ACORN members attending these rallies pretending to be anti-Obama and having participants sign petitions. Although none of these claims are completely substantiated in the MSM (mostly because they get very little press), just be mindful of those who float around asking for names. God knows what they want the names for, but I'm sure it's not for purely scientific purposes
Edit/suggestion: to get a better idea of whether these people are actually attending, try bringing a recording device and signing a petition to someone who may look suspicious. When that person leaves the tea party, tail them back to their parking spot and see if they have an Obama bumpersticker. If this is the case, discreetly tail them home and record their home address for lookup in the deed records to find out who this mystery person is. If everyone on C/D who attends these rallies tries this, the chances of us finding a potential ACORN member is very good. Of course, to protect the person's privacy, do not post their home address or name. A call to the local news outlet would be advisable instead.
LOLOLOL... do you guys realize that 90% of the nation has never even heard of these tea parties? This is so precious... nary 3 months out of power and some right wingers have gone off the deep end.

Considering that 100% of mainstream Americans know who Britney Spears is, I'll take that as a complement
Here's another suggestion: If you're bored on April 15, go to you local tea party and ask people to sign a fake petition. Park far, far away so that they have to follow you for blocks and blocks to write down your license plate. If they get that far, turn around and yell "Surprise!" and spray them with silly string and shaving cream. That will really give the local news outlet something to write about.
LOLOLOL... this is the funniest thread I've read in a while...
You implied the worst. Consequences do not necessarily mean violence or conducting illegal activities. As a generally peaceful libertarian, I refuse to physically harm someone who is not physically harming me.
Well, to be fair, I'd say that you implied the worst. I inferred the worst.
Look, I think these tea parties are fine. Freedom of assembly. Freedom of speech. All good things.
What I DON'T like is the really worrisome tone I've seen on this board and elsewhere from folks who seem to have it in their mind to get violent, or at least THREATEN to get violent. I think everyone needs to, with all due respect, calm the hell down.
