Oh my.
I didn't want the primitives to think I've forgotten them; it's just that I've been preoccupied with real world matters, and apparently will be for some time yet.
The bonfire has a few photographs.

“BILLIONAIRES FOR WEALTHCARE†GROUP MOCKS OPPONENTS OF HEALTHCARE REFORM AT TOWNHALL FORUM
Source: East County Magazine
August 30, 2009 (Spring Valley) – A rowdy crowd of approximately 1,500 turned out to cheer on and heckle Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-San Diego) during a town hall meeting in Spring Valley Saturday afternoon. Protests from conservative “teabaggers†and signs with racist overtones were countered by a newly-formed group calling itself “Billionaires for Wealthcare.†(photo).
Dressed in formal attire, members pulled up in a limousine to greet other protesters, thanking them for “standing with billionaires†to oppose real healthcare reform. The group later posted a YouTube video )

Inspired by the website www.billionairesforwealthcare.com , Barbara Cummings of Spring Valley was among those to don black attire and pearls for the occasion “because sometimes street theater can have an impact where just yelling at one another accomplishes nothing,†Cummings said.
Davis staffers passed out information on healthcare reform including answers to common questions—answers many in the crowd apparently had no inclination to read. Although the majority of the crowd seemed in favor of healthcare reform, those opposed were not content to wait their turn to be called upon to ask questions. Instead, many shouted out insults to the Congresswoman and some uttered racial slurs including "******" against President Barack Obama.

Much more at the link. Please post comments on this article, which I wrote for our nonprofit publication in San Diego's conservative East County.
Yeah, yeah. It's street theatre.

92. Trouble is, here in Connecticut they might be serious!
This is one of the richest states in the country, and the capitol of Hartford is pretty much synonomous with insurance.

Damn, it happened again.
I'm so used to Pedro Picasso's misspelling that I omitted to see a rather grievous one.

And his sentence structure is also bad. Look at this:
"This is one of the richest states in the country, and the capitol of Hartford is pretty much synonomous [sic] with insurance."
The capitol of Hartford?? Hartford isn't a state or a country.
I know what he meant, but it was written poorly. He should have said:
"This is one of the richest states in the country and the city of Hartford, being the state capital, is pretty much synonymous with insurance."
Poor Pedro.

Poor Pedro.
Just by coincidence, about the time I left Skins's island, there was an article on the MSM web-site, about the 100 wealthiest zip codes in America.
The title was a little misleading, because it was "wealth" based upon the cost of home ownership, no other factors.
Anyway, guess whose zip code rated in the top 100.

So let me get this straight a bunch of libs go to a townhall meeting pretending to be conservatives and the DUmp is ok with that?

just like they will okay with a "Reichstag fire" type incident next October if the Dems are way behind in the polls.
