Tax Day Tea Parties

The Tea Party is Kansas City obviously wasn’t the only one on Tax Day. Since I could only be in one city at a time, I’ve found some other folks who covered some of the happenings across the country.

Robert Stacy McCain has a nice article at the American Spectator on the Tea Party and its gaining momentum:

Perhaps the biggest sign of Tea Party success is a new wave of attacks on the movement from the Left and a surge of attention from the liberal media. Most bizarre of the attacks was the announcement earlier this week of “Crash the Tea Party,” an effort by liberal activists to infiltrate rallies in an effort to discredit the movement. That project was organized by Jason Levin, who told the Associated Press that he believes most Tea Party attendees are “homophobes, racists or morons” — although perhaps not so moronic as a saboteur who gives advance notice of his plans for sabotage. He was put on paid leave by the Oregon public school that employs him, under suspicion that he may have done his activism during work hours. How did his infiltrators fare Thursday? “They came, they saw, they failed,” as Michelle Malkin summarized it.

John Hawkins at Right Wing News covers the Tea Party at Myrtle Beach, where he gave a speech:

Kathleen McKinley, also at Right Wing News, has pictures from the Tea Party in Houston.

Robert Stacy McCain’s co-blogger, Smitty, has some coverage of the Washington DC Tea Party, and has video from Andrew Breitbart’s speech.

Smitty has a roundup of other Tea Party coverage as well.

The Reaganite Republican also has some roundup coverage of Tea Parties across the country.

Neal Boortz was in DC giving a little speech, and had a video of the Tea Party there up.

Van Helsing at Moobattery has some fantastic pictures from Tea Parties across the nation.

Left Coast Rebel brings us some pictures from the Tea Party in Oceanside, CA. Donald Douglas at American Power was also there.

IUSB Vision has proof of the violence at the Tea Parties: some Tea Partiers brought vicious attack dogs to intimidate people!

Common Cents has more from DC:

And of course, I have a post on the Kansas City Tea Party, as does Nice Deb.
