Tennessee Tax Day Tea Party Protest Photos (Got Teabag? ) UPDATE: Flickr Photostream
Posted by kotang at 4:20 PMTwenty five photos from Nashville's Tea Party; chosen for their interest to me.
An impressive turnout, I'd say. Reminiscent of the 'horn honking' days, when we protested a State Income Tax proposal in 2000.
This is about the photos. Click on any image for a larger (sometimes a very large) image.
If you're in an image, e-mail or comment and I'll send you a copy of the original shot (blogger destroys photos, really; these are just low-rent placeholders. I've better archives.)
Don't Tax Me, Bro!
"I'm not your ATM" ('Mom' would work too)
"Bend Over, Here Comes Barney Frank" BWHAHAHAHA~!
Obama wasn't much a popular figure at these protests.
"Fidel Castro Killed my Family" - great signage.
Looking from Legislative Plaza up at the State Capitol
Dunno. Skunk, maybe? But I didn't see any ACORN counter protesters. Hiding, prolly.
"Republicans..don't deserve the Conservative Vote." Love that sign.
"Vote the Drunken Sailors Out of Office!"
Legislative Plaza, looking to the southeast
"Bureaucartic Leeches SUCK!"
Approaching the State Capitol. Click and read that nice red poster.
From the State Capitol, looking out at Legislative Plaza
"Cutest Kids with Posters" Award
"Abort Congress and this Media". Amen.
Abort or Change Congress: that would be the only way to save America.
"Stimulate the Economy Impeach Obama & Pelosi"
My favorite shot of the day. Great image, huh? )
This guy is an AP photographer (I asked him). He moves around fast, shot fast, and left quickly.
This guy is a freelance photographer (I asked). He doesn't have a steady gig; e-mails his photos to an unnamed account. Sometimes they buy, sometimes they don't.
Had to be a Teleprompter poster in there somewhere!
This group was having massive fun from their old pickup truck. Click this one too.
An economist? "Yes to Freidman, No to Keynes" He's exactly right.
These ladies were serious about their protesting. 
Parting shot: "Socialism Leads to Slackerism".
UPDATE Just spotted this one, the Vanderbilt Youth for Western Civilization.
This group has the leftys tearing their hair out. Good for them.
UPDATE: Here's the Flickr photostream for these pics. I might add others later.
