Oh, the shame! Teabaggers have chosen Nashville TN as the site of their Teabagger Hatefest in 2010. Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker.
This is in a county that went overwhelmingly for Obama in 2008 (by 16 percentage points, I believe). Davidson County is Obama Country!
I hope all Tennessee Kossacks--and especially Nashvillians--will consider this a chance to show up and support the president WE elected, Barack Obama.
These teabaggers are not the "real America" and they don't speak for us.
And especially, Sarah Palin does not speak for us--let's let them know that.
More below the fold...
This news came from Kleinheider's blogpost--link is here (post was very short, so I grabbed most of it):

The convention will take place February 4 thru February 6 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel:
Tea Party Nation is pleased to announce the First National Tea Party Convention. The convention is aimed at bringing the Tea Party Movement leaders together from around the nation for the purpose of networking and supporting the movements’ multiple organizations principle goals. This event will be co-sponsored by other national groups that believe in a responsible and limited federal government that is responsive to all the people. National Taxpayers Union, American Majority, Smart Girl Politics, and SurgeUSA are just a few of the organizations who will be on hand to contribute their time and talents to this convention.
Special Keynote Speaker for the event will be Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska (2006-2009) and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Nominee
Nashville Kossacks, let's put this on our calendars and try to keep an anti-bagger, anti-Palin presence always in front of them. When the newspapers and local media cover this, we must not let them portray this group as representative of our town.
For the rest of yall, Nashville in February is....well, better than Minnesota. Maybe it's time to pay us a visit. Come visit us with your Obama T-shirts, signs etc. We'd love to see you.
YALL COME!
