Orange County Tea Parties Open To All, Including Neo-Nazis

Think those "Tea Parties" you keep hearing about on Fox News and in the Register are just for Obama-hating Republicans? You, sir or ma'am, are sorely mistaken:

National organizers - who say the rallies aren't motivated by any one political party, but by grassroots efforts - expect the rallies and shared opinions to go beyond Tax Day.

See? Grassroots. Grassroots. It's grassroots. And why not? A growing deficit, a strangely structured bank bailout, corporate bonuses, a tax increase in California, Bo Obama not coming from a shelter... there are lots of things that might cause perfectly normal people to  want to blow off some steam.

There are rallies scheduled all over the county for tomorrow, the largest likely being the one at the Santa Ana Civic Center, noon to two, that will star U.S. representative Dana Rohrabacher.

Sure, there are naysayers in the media who like to point out the extent to which corporations are playing a role in this grassroots effort. And one blog even took a page from the hack playbook, trying to discredit the protest movement by finding some fringe members. In this case, they dug up white supremacists on Stormfront, the neo-Nazi message board:

I believe that this is the white revolution we've been waiting for.

It doesn't look what we expected but this is it.

I've seen probably 50 videos on TV showing previous marches and what strikes me is that the participants are all WHITE. It stands to reason . . . we're the ones being taxed to support Affirmative Action, Welfare and other worthless social programs. It's our tax dollars going to ACORN and supporting the 12 million illegals swarming into our neighborhoods.

Well, even if that's a cheap shot to blog about, you have to admit it's kind of spooky. Luckily, the dude who wrote that says he's going to a rally in Texas.

Oh wait. What's this on Stormfront? A guy who starts up a Tea Party thread offers: "So Cal SFer's will be out there stirring it up in Santa Ana."

And then another poster politely chimes in, "I will be attending the Tea Party in Santa Ana."

Hope the tea isn't black.

(sorry)

I will be there, and I am neither a racist nor a Republican. I will be standing up for what I believe in no matter who else shows up.

Travis says:

Spencer, do you believe that your tax dollars are being spent efficiently? How do you feel about all of the corporate bailouts, earmark pork-fests and state/local tax hikes when people are already hurting? That's what this is all about. Even if I have to wade through some fake grassroots bull, it's worth it to stand up and be counted.

Why include a neo nazi as the header to slander the intention of this gethering? Unless this media is sided with the big business and tried to desway people from protesting. Please keep your slandering and cartel propaganda to yourself, people are not that dumb you know.....!

Most National Socialists would participate in an event like this and you would never know they were there, except for the nutcases of the National Socialist Movement led by felon Jeff Schoep.

laurence says:

Funny how the OC Weekly didn't bother to report on the hatefest accompanying anti war rallies. Anti-American, Anti-Semitic "protestors" aren't worth mentioning but some fascist goons who show up to a real grassroots event are somehow representative of the entire event.

Stick your biased reporting and leftist narrative up your...

Anchorage Activist says:

So what if "neo-Nazis" show up at a Tea Party rally? Many people from all parts of political spectrum are opposed to high taxes and government waste.

By the way, Spencer, your post reeks of ignorance about the White Nationalist community. Most of the Stormfront members are simply White Nationalists; national socialism is a specific form of governance best described as a subset of White Nationalism. As a matter of fact, many within the White Nationalist community think national socialism actually offers too much government.

Before writing about the White Nationalist movement, try doing your homework first, if you actually want to have credibility.

Desperation on the cusp of madness! You like how the media are portraying these Tax protests as nothing but angry right-wing republicans gathering up ranting anti-Obama crap? I belong to no party and i'm not white but I will be there standing up for liberty. Repeal the Federal Reservse Act now!

Blah Blah Blah. This Article was written by another Idiot who should not even have a job as a "writer". Neo-Nazis shop at Albertsons, so everyone at that shops there is a fanatic according to this logic. Pathetic. Spencer Konhaber enjoys the fact that our country is going down the toilet, so much so, that He has to try to demonize the people of this Country who do not enjoy seeing this happen and stand up to say something about it. Hey Spencer, I hate to break it to you but not everyone who is fed up with BOTH parties being sold out to elitist bankers who are robbing OUR country is a neo-nazi. 99.99999 percent are not. Do you even know what a "National Socialist" is? It is the OPPOSITE of a Libertarian. Go read a book about Nazis before you spew more ignorance and make your self look even more ridiculous.

Where the f*%k were these people during all the war protest marches during the past 5 years, which is where your taxes are REALLY being wasted?

Nice photo, must be radical Hindus - the swastica is backwards. Either that or it's another one of those hate crime hoaxers that the media keeps showing to divert the sheeps attention after Gaza and prior to the attack on Iran. 13 plus billion of our tax dollars just got approved to aid israel .... wonder how many foreclosures there are over there? What a joke.

vox says:

I'd rather stand next to a Neo-Nazi at a rally than a liberal because at least you know where the Neo-Nazi stands and that they stand by their convictions. A liberal on the other hand is blown by the wind. BTW - A liberal is way more dangerous than any hyped up Neo-Nazi.

Otis says:

Folks, be careful about decrying others as left-wing or right-wing "nutcases" or "traitors" because they may have political opinions different from your own. What's going on in the USA right now is the Oligarchy's attempt to squash any possibility of a citizens-based movement. This is obvious in the mainstream media's attacks against anyone opposing the mind-boggling spending to bail out the richest of the rich. Their game is "divide and conquer." Don't fall for it. Stay strong & united whether your political viewpoints are Libertarian, Green, Constitution, Progressive or Independent.

Tea Party: by definition includes destruction of governmemt property. These new "centrally organized" tea parties are sheeple gestures. Tea Party does not mean being a good little harmless rule follower who holds up a sign. it means getting in their god damn face and causing major trouble.

james says:

the issue is not government waste and taxes. Oh my god, how lame. Until enough of you realize what is going on, they please stay home and keep quiet. The Elite's plan is genocide on the American people.

Adam says:

Well if we have a whole National State that is worse than Nazis, calling these Neo-Nazis must be a compliment.

Wake up and see that we are rebelling against the tyranny of false wealth dressed up as real wealth and the false power that accrues from that deception.. The changes we have to implement are fundamental. They go deeper than we generally reflect. Economists are backwards and are trying to solve problems with tools that are creating the problems. The sooner we eliminate fictional wealth the sooner we can go back living a real life.

Hitler changed his mind about race, the Neo Nazis have it wrong and I suspect the people who are behind this article are with the very people they claim to oppose since they are trying to tarnish the anti-tax movement with this worthless article.

By the way, if you want to know about Hitler changing his mind on the subject of race, visit http://www.thisismystruggle.com That guy is dead on and he talks about Hitler's unpublished speech at Platterhof on May 26, 1944 where he clearly had given the racist nonsense that Himmler and some others were about.

Eric Davidson says:

Many National Socialists are gathering quietly on April 19/20th in recognition of the 120 year anniversary of the birth of Adolf Hitler. Some may be attending one of the "tea party" demos... however, most really don't care one way or the other about the US government or its assorted problems. Revolutionary types of every philosophical stripe recognize and welcome the System's continued downward spiral as a necessary factor in social change.

Spencer, you little boshevik puppets of zionist ashkeNAZI khazars can throw some bottles and rocks at your tantrum protests. The Tea Parties are a mere civil prelude to the Storm. Like our Palestinian brothers, we no longer have allegiance to the monster. We are not angry, for anger is an emotion. We have calm, steady resolve. And if we must become Shahid Martyrs against your gulag machine, then we are not afraid to provide an "explosive" final statement to the oppressors.
You are nothing but a very miniscule cog in the machine. You serve no purpose. Get out of our way or be crushed.
