At a “grassroots” rally organized by the American Petroleum Institute in Houston on Tuesday, activists bearing American flags were turned away. Oil company employees were bused in to the “Energy Citizens” gathering to hear billionaire Drayton McLane Jr. attack President Barack Obama’s clean energy agenda as an economy-destroying energy tax. However, grassroots tea-party activists told Public Citizen Texas that they and their American flags were refused entry to the company picnic:

Yes, nothing can be as "grassroots" as ACORN and SEIU paying people to protest. Now that's America.

I just love how when the lefty's protest...its an exercise in free speech.
But when normal taxpaying American's stand up against a socialist regime, they are considered nut cases.

Where could such an idea come from? The Whitehouse playbook: Rules for Radicals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why am I even replying to this???
