SARAH PALIN Rallies Tea Party Patriots in Boston …Update: 13,000-16,000 At Rally

Boston Herald- Hat Tip Ed
SARAH PALIN joined the Tea Party Express for a rally in Boston today for a rally at 10 AM EST.
More than 3,000 local patriots turned out for the event.
Jules Crittenden is reporting from the protest and added this on the location:
Tea Party’s in town … again! The current site on Boston Common is about a quarter mile from the Old South Meeting House, where the original Tea Party rabble was roused in 1773. Down Washington Street from there is the old Liberty Tree site. A couple of blocks down from there, you’re standing on the site of the British fortifications at Boston Neck that held the upstart Americans off during the siege in 1776, from which they charged with fixed bayonets across the ice to challenge the American guns on Dorchester Heights, and past which Washington rode up the street that now bears his name, when the British evacauated a week later. Nothing marks that spot. Half a mile or so in the other direction, Boston Massacre site. Half a mile beyond that, Paul Revere’s house and the Old North Church. It all happened here and it is a privilege to live and work among it all.
Local Boston radio host Ken Pittman will also be reporting from the rally.
The Boston Herald has live coverage from the rally today.
UPDATE: Ken Pittman called to say that police told him that there were 13,000-16,000 patriots at the rally today – By far the largest conservative rally he’s been to in Boston.
Here’s a photo from the rally today:

Obama/Bush Nearly Divided
Americans are now pretty evenly divided about whether they would rather have Barack Obama or George W. Bush in the White House. 48% prefer Obama while 46% say they would rather have the old President back.

@Chisum,
That’s b/c Bush was fairly progressive. If we had a true conservative leader (even more so that Reagan would be great), the sheeple would rejoice.

As wacko as I think Paul is on some issues, I can’t help but like the guy. I’d take him over Chairman O; I’d take a dead llama over Chairman O at this point.

Hmm, event organizers closed the Boston Tea Party event with a recording of “New York, New York.”
Not good.

UPDATE, JIM….
On ABC radio news a couple hours ago, they were saying 10,000 people.
Moreover, given ABC’s bias, the real figure is probably even higher!
Patman commented:
These Coffee Parties sure are a huge success….
wait, whaddu say? Tea party?
There must be at least a few dozen people at this Tea party. All Racist A$$holes. Especially the business owners and doctors…
Opaobie commented:
Polling only on a choice between Bush and Obama is a fool’s choice. It’s that sort of choices that got us McCain as the POTUS candidate in the last election. Make it mulitple choice and see how the numbers flesh out.
Peggy commented:
That is awesome! If I remember right, Boston had a decidedly lackluster turnout for the first round of Tea Parties.
If it can happen in Boston, the Democrats are in for some pure hell come November! hahaha!
Welcome to the Tea Party, Boston! Way to go!
wanumba commented:
It’s so cool the modern Tea Party arrives on Boston Common. It’s such an awesome historical area, just inspiring to think who stood there centuries ago, what they stood for and the revolution they began, fought and completed by establishing a new nation with an incredibly revolutionary governance.
The “revolutionaries” of the Left aren’t revolutionary at all, they stand for old orders, typical status quo of elites over the rabble, centralized power for hereditary rulers, vulgar disrespect for natural social agreements that allow human endeavors to flourish.

Oops, sorry, Jim,
I see you’ve already updated it!!!
Kathy from Kansas commented:
Re: comment #20…
Wow, I watched that video.
It is very upsetting to see the real, human faces behind the statistics. I volunteered helping Mexican and Central American immigrants and refugees for enough years to have heard many, many absolutely heartbreaking stories. If you were down there watching little ones nearly starve, and no jobs, no jobs, no jobs, you would come to El Norte too! My ancestors immigrated to Texas several generations ago, poor and speaking no English–but from Europe. So I have a lot of sympathy for those who flee horrible conditions and risk their lives for the opportunity of working hard in America.
But some percentage of these folks are violent criminals–and no doubt some are Arab terrorists passing themselves off as Mexicans. That much has been documented, I think.
I visited a West Texas rancher some years back who said that at night, he and his wife could hear all the (well-armed) drug traffickers’ jeeps and trucks roaring over his land. When I asked him, “Aren’t you kind of scared?” he replied, “I don’t bother them, and they don’t bother me.” But I guess poor Rob Krentz was not so lucky….

13,000-16,000 in Boston for a TEA Party Rally and to hear Sarah Palin speak. But, but …the dead tree industry, the dinosaur networks, the talking heads, and the pudits tell us Palin is stupid. She’s an Alaska hillbilly. Just ask the liberal pollsters. The media idiots tell us Palin is unelectable and B+ Odumber is a genius as their audience shrink daily with another run of their spin for the democrats proved lies.
Democrats, Pelosi’s politburo, Dingy Harry, SEIU thugs, and your media elite paid courtesans ignore and thwart the will of an enraged electorate and you will go the way of Izvestia, Pravda, Herr Honnecker and Nicolai & Elena.

The putrifying corpse of media that is the mouthpiece of corporatist statists has not reported significant facts or news since long before the battleship Maine went down Havana.
The lamestream media long ago threw away truth for a marxist template there’s not a jwhorenalist who is capable of reporting truth or facts to be found in the so called media.
Push and speed the corporatist media toward its impending financial collapse by cancelling your newspaper and magazine subscriptions and completely boycotting the dinosaur networks and give them pins for their treason on their bottom lines.

Smart carry (google this) will be my companion. Along with a camera and cell phone. I know your process for buying a firearm is the same as Texas conceal carry requirements. (home office is in Andover). THAT is too much regulation of your 2nd amendment rights. This is gonna be fun and the Georgia Bubba’s are an absolute plus, This country will be saved by bubbas cuz they are always ready. Just like the boy scouts. LOL powder is dry and in deep concealment too.

Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point North
TK Chesington commented:
I find it a great grief that any person of faith would laud in anyway Sarah Palin. She is a woman who has repeatedly lied about numerous situations – personal and public.
She is not who you think she is. Ask Frank Bailey (her closest aide de camp in Alaska during her short stint as governor); ask the woman who delivered her son, Trig – who had to hire an attorney to help her navigate Sarah’s lies about traveling across the country while leaking amniotic fluid; ask virtually any member of the Alaska State House and Senate – both Republicans and Democrats.
Sarah is not a conservative – she led Alaska into economic standstill and cost the State billions of dollars in jobs (she is called Sarah Chavez in Alaska for good reason – after passing legislation that every citizen receive $1200 – known as “Sarah’s Money”). But more than that – and what should be concerning for any person of faith, is that Sarah Palin is simply not honest.
She lies.
Excessively.
Chisum commented:
She lies.
Excessively.
============================
Is that the best you have troll?
Drive by lies and innuendo.
Typical.
TK Chesington commented:
Hello Chisum. I’m not a troll. I’m a conservative Evangelical who lives in Alaska and knows the truth about Sarah.
At some point those of you who care about truth will need to face the fact that all you really know about Sarah is what the McCain campaign wanted you to know and then what Fox wants us to believe.
Like thousands of Alaskans, I know Sarah and I know the real version of her. I don’t hate or dislike Sarah but her ability to lie effortlessly does terrify me.
Her policies while governor were heinous to the private sector in the extreme. I know of no conservative Christian in my state WHO PAYS ATTENTION to what’s going on in the news who supports Sarah.
At some point the rest of you will need to pay attention. I don’t wish you malice.
Greg commented:
GP, is it even remotely possible for you to NOT wildly lie?

Chisum commented:
TK Chesington,
Not a troll? All I’ve read is opinion and innuendo from you. How about some facts, with links to back it up?
“At some point those of you who care about truth will need to face the fact that all you really know about Sarah is what the McCain campaign wanted you to know and then what Fox wants us to believe.”
Oh please! The MSM and the Dems sent an army of journalists and private detectives to look at every aspect of her life. Even to the point of digging into her garbage. They attacked her, her children, her family. Yet you accuse us of only listening to the McCain campaign and Fox News.
I wonder what would have happened if the MSM had given BO the same treatment? Because Palin was vetted far more thoroughly than BO was. And that is a fact!
TK Chesington commented:
No Chisum – Sarah wasn’t vetted. No one in Alaska – including Chuck and Sally – Sarah’s own parents, had any idea she was even under any real consideration. That’s b/c she wasn’t being considered seriously until four days before she was announced in Ohio.
Bristol and Willow didn’t know until they were standing in a hotel room in Ohio, a couple hours before the announcement, after having been whisked there on a flight with Todd, Piper and Trig through the night.
Do you know how terrified Bristol was? How embarrassed she was first, that she was even pregnant, then that she would be the most well known unwed teen mother in the U.S. – if not the world? How Sarah didn’t have the maternal love and care to be the one to tell her she was running for VP (b/c she knew there would be another melt down fight – but that’s another story) so she told Steve Schmidt to tell her daughters that their entire world was about to change a couple hours before they walked out on a stage – do you know these things? No, you don’t.
What kind of parent does that? What kind of person does that? Have you any idea how shameful any of this has been for Bristol?
Of course you don’t.
Sarah isn’t who you think she is.
I’m just saying at some point people of faith – who want to know the truth, even if it disappoints and hurts them – will need to face the truth about Sarah.
Thousands of Alaskans already have. There is a reason she doesn’t show her face – not just in her home state – but in her home town.
There is a reason the couple times she managed to attend Willow’s bball games she stands back in a corner with dark glasses and a hat – and no one approaches her even though every one knows she’s there. She knows she can pull a fast one on people all over the fruited plain – but Alaskans now know what she’s really made of and who she really is.
Chisum commented:
TK Chesington,
Thank you for confirming that you are nothing but a troll. More rumor and vile innuendo. No links. No proof. And you speak of the Palin’s feelings as if you speak for them.
You need to find another forum to spout your lies. We don’t tolerate that nonsense here.
Live truth commented:
It’s weird how angry Christians can get when confronted with former Governor Palin’s duplicity and poor judgement. Here’s what did it for me – listening to her talk about her flight from Texas back to Alaska while in active labor with her Down’s Syndrome child when she was 44 years old.
Her water broke in Texas and she chose to wait six hours, give a speech, take two flights back up to Alaska and drive for an hour before checking in to a hospital.
Listen to her tell the account to Alaskan reporters on Tindeck filed under “Sarah Palin talks about Wild Ride.” It’s about halfway through when a bold reporter specifically asks her, “So did your water break? Your dad said that and I saw him say it so that’s why I ask.”
Gov. Palin, “Well that was….again…a sign that I knew could lead to labor being kind of kicked in there, was any sign of amniotic fluid leaking. So when, when that happened we decided okay then, let’s call her (the physician in Alaska).”
I don’t need to know anymore. No doctor would ever have agreed to allow a 44 year old woman with amniotic fluid leaking a month early, who was carrying a known Down’s baby, to delay medical attention for nineteen hours.
Sarah Palin isn’t fit to be our commander and chief. She isn’t fit to be our president.
Sorry that is so offensive to certain ones on this blog who call themselves people of faith (the presumption being, and also people of conscience).

Don Rodrigo commented:
TK Chesington or whoever you are:
Let me be cynical about your Palin allegations, and pretend that there is some truth to them.
SO?
Seriously, considering the largely sordid history of the current occupant of the White House, combined with his lack of experience for the position, why should a worldly old guy like me care if Palin has some baggage?
