Shame on you for defending ignorance.

Didn't really see any, just saw people expressing their opinions. May not have agreed with them... but, ok how dare they say things you don't like or the way you think they should.

The bias argument doesn't hold water. Worse still, you're unable to admit that there were crazies and idiots there. I have photographic evidence. I have a picture of a sign that says, I shit you not, "where's the birth certificate?" alluding to the insane conspiracy theory about President Obama's country of birth. Another says "No ACORN". Many more spoke about "Socialism" as if the people understood what it meant. "CHANGE to rig the government to own everything!" was one of my favorites.

I admitted there were people there whose messages I din't agree with. But they had the right to show their opinion. I had the right to ignore it. I just believe you had your mind made up, went looking for whatever it is your bias wanted you to find and you ignored whatever your bias didn't want you to see.
It's human. I freely admit, I went not knowing what to truly expect but wanted to see and meet people who shared a common view as me... I did. I walked away with a positive experience.
I think it shows your elitism and bias calling people who showed their opinions and took advantage of their right to assemble and have free speech as idiots and crazies and ignorant. I see that more as a problem than anything that was said or from my own experience done at these parties. But like them, you are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine.

A parody/ serious note.... taken from the late. great, Ricky Nelson - Garden Party
I went to a tea party to demonstrate with my old friends
A chance to share ideas and talk of making the country great again
When I got to the tea party, they all had reason to be there
May not have agreed with what they all had to say, but glad I was that they were there
CHORUS
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't agree with everyone, so ya just got to be yourself
People came from miles around, everyone was there
The Left brought signs of hate, there was anger in the air
'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise
The Right told me Obama was Satan in disguise
CHORUS
lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah
Freedom to demonstrate and speak their minds, thought that's why they came
No one heard the other side, we didn't see the future as the same
I said hello to freedom, she belongs to me and you
When I speak of freedom, everyone has the same as me and you
CHORUS
lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
lot-in-dah-dah-dah
Someone Held a sign up and disagreed with the President
Speakin his mind and sayin what he could his freedom he did spend
If you go to a tea party, I wish you a lotta luck
But if they criticize your freedoms, I'd tell them to go fuck
CHORUS
lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
lot-in-dah-dah-dah
CHORUS
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't agree with everyone, so ya just got to be yourself
CHORUS
lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
lot-in-dah-dah-dah
CHORUS
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't agree with everyone, so ya just got to be yourself
Thank ya...... for your time. Gettin off my soapbox and singin a song Thank ya, again Rick....RIP.....

Garden Party
- Artist: Rick Nelson
- peak Billboard position # 6 in 1972
- inspired by Rick's experience at a Madison Square Garden concert
- Words and Music by Rick Nelson
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same
CHORUS
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself
People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
CHORUS
lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah
Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave
CHORUS
lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
lot-in-dah-dah-dah
Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck
CHORUS
lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
lot-in-dah-dah-dah
'n' it's all right now, learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself
