Maybe I missed them, but all I could find was a few really short threads. And as one might expect, supportive comments were conspicuously lacking. Poor confused freepers:rofl:

7. But Not In The Quantities They Were Hoping For...
From what I've read (I had a real life to deal with today) Dreckapalooza was a big let down for the great unhinged. No ranting about death panels or raising taxes or even "socialism"...just a lot of word salad and much of it ruffage while they wanted red meat. Sounds like they got "kumbaya'd" by Dreck. :rofl:

6. Can you give me a quick summary of what happened at Beck's rally
I see a lot of comments indicating something shocking happened but I haven't been paying attention so I don't know what.

8. I'll try... a buncha angry white people showed up to hear their retard king
and got a super-duper faux racial unity-fest. Most the speakers were minorities, the music was mostly ethnic (meaning not C&W), Beck prattled on about equality and showed MLK clips... Not the prelude to race war many were wishing for I imagine.

10. Yeah, some of the crowd reaction shots were weird
Edited on Sat Aug-28-10 06:21 PM by whatchamacallit
Smattering of applause scattered in a sea of folded arms and disappointed grimaces.

17. The King relative made a statement about the end of white privilege and also that there was only one

race - the human race. And that both races needed to unite. Might have been some grimacing about that. She did get some applause on her anti abortion "bleeding in the womb" crap and the bring back prayer in school stuff.

I did see some reaction on FR, for the few pages I skimmed. Seemed like there was bitching there and on a few other conservative boards about whether Beck ever mentioned Jesus by name in his speech, and some grousing about him being a damned Mormon. A few claimed that Mormons believed Jesus was married and had a family, and on that basis alone, Beck is just another idiot Mormon.

19. What I saw at FR, for the few moments I could stand it, was mostly handwringing over number counts
Very little, if any, editorializing on the content of the rally. I really think they just don't wanna go there.

21. Agree about them not wanting to go there. I noticed the same pattern
Edited on Sat Aug-28-10 07:46 PM by DeschutesRiver
back when Sister Sarah first went out on the lecture circuit. They'd spend days obsessing about her and her upcoming speech. And then immediately after, I'd check for reaction - and barely anything. After awhile, there was no reaction, not a single thread discussing what she'd said. Because they'd been taken for a ride, and some of them must have had a clue.

What amazes me is how many times they are willing to fork out bucks to be taken for the same ride by the same people. Those entertainers are making serious coin off the tea baggers terminal gullibility.

Restore America, my ass. They need a system restore to fix what ails them.

15. We can safely say that Beck is not
the second coming of Huey Long. He's a fucking moron.

22. They're all waiting for tomorrow's (Sunday) event
There's some follow-along cross burning/sign carrying/Obama bashing puke fest starting around 10am Eastern. BecKKK and his supporters didn't want signs and stuff at the event today, but they're encouraging it for tomorrow. Hopefully some enterprising folks will capture all the lively stupidity!

To find this out, I went to the Maine Tea Party Patriot site - I was researching for some comments I posted at The Daily Beast - and found this little tidbit of loserness. If you want true Freeper-style misspellings and just sheer stupidity, please read this dumbass post there:
