Democratic operative organizes Right Nation 2010 protest

Blogging from Right Nation 2010 in Hoffman Estates, IL.

First of all, if you are anywhere in Chicago's northwestern suburbs, then head to Right Nation 2010 now at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates.

I will post more photographs later--but there is a protest occuring outside the arena that one of the event's organizers tells me were dispatched by Democratic operative Neil Hartman; they were told to meet Marty and Kevin Quinn. The protesters arrived in schoolbuses--nothing new with that--and have been repeatedly bellowing out two chants: "Hey, hey, ho. ho...Glenn Beck has got to go," and "Two-four-six-eight--Glenn Beck is full of hate." I'm sure the protesters watch his Fox News every weekday at 4:00pm Central.

The top right photograph shows the chant leader. He's holding a "Teabaggers are corporate dupes" sign.

Beck is the featured speaker tonight, he'll be joined by Andrew Breitbart, Rep. Aaron Schock, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, and the Wall Street Journal's John Fund and many more.


Weird thing about the protest: After they got rabbling and rousing, the American flags showed up and were hurriedly handed out. Hopefully these flags won't have to be saved from the trash, as the ones from the Democratic Convention in Denver were in 2008.
