âSuch neophytes, they donât even have a corporate sponsorâ charges group

The Tea Party held a demonstration against improper demonstrations today in Charlotte, North Carolina. Joan Schmidt, president of the local chapter, said, âWeâre outraged that kids think they can camp out, chant slogans, create a democratic village, and think theyâre making a difference. We can teach âem a thing or two, and number one is, if you want to get your message out, get a corporate sponsor!â
âWeâve got the Koch brothers, Iâm sure they could get Apple or Google or whatâs that one, Tweedy Bird or something,â she added.
Schmidt said the Wall Street protesters were âGiving protest a bad name, getting all dirty sleeping on the ground like that, parading around with cheap cardboard signs with correctly-spelled, intelligent messages on them.â
Protesters at this Tea Party gathering had brightly colored pre-printed plastic weather-proof signs reading things like âCapitalizm: Good / Socializm: Bad / Get It?â and âIf You Want to Be Herd, Do What Fox Says, Thay Will Broadcast You 24/7â and âDidnât Your Muther Ever Teach You to Kiss Ass?â and âGo With the Flow / Sleap Warm in Your Bed (Unless You Got Foreclosed On).â

One protester wasnât so sure. âI dunno, I was pissed at first that they were trying to copy us, but then I saw they were protesting the Wall Street firms and banks that screwed up our economy and got bailed out, and yet they havenât done nothing to return the favor and help out the small guy,â said George Fontroy who had traveled from Decatur, Georgia. âI just think, hey, maybe instead of freaking out about some âsocialistâ bogeyman, they got something real to be concerned about.â
âNo way,â said Schmidt, when told of Fontroyâs comments. âTheyâre obviously just whiners, screaming about pepper spray condiments and stuff. Hell, if they donât like spicy food, I say, donât put your face in it!â
