Like their tax-despising brethren around the nation, thousands of protesters showed up yesterday at Kanawha Plaza in Downtown Richmond for the Richmond Tea Party.
Speakers including AM personality Jimmy Barrett, who roused up the crowd. There were also revolutionary-era re-enactors, including Patrick Henry. (Is the same guy who was at the Card Check forum at the Omni on Tuesday? And if so, might he have the only recession-proof business in Richmond?)
BizSense was there with video. Pay close attention to some of the creative signs, including, “Don’t tax me bro.”
We apologize in advance, if at the end of our video it seems a little like Bill and Ted’s history project from the movie Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Those who are fans of the movie will understand what we mean.

Actually, I was the Patrick Henry impersonator for the tea party, and Kevin Grantz performed for the card check gig. Kevin and I both are part of Virginia Patriots, Inc., and we do see living history as a recession-proof business. We’ve never been so busy!
A bunch or losers Richmond style very tired & worn like the rest of the republican party.Nobody gives a crap anymore they are the same idiots who got us into this mess. Why dont they all move to Texas and secede and marry their kinfolk. Have a bunch of ugly fat Rush Limbaughs and Greta von Surstens running around. EWWW im sick of them.
Nice attitude T. Taylor. So on top of being singled out by the DHS as a threat to our country, concerned citizens who prefer limited government are now also losers, idiots and should “marry kinfolk”?
Do you have a problem with free speech and the right to assemble? Or is it only appropriate for those who agree with you?
Despite what you think, serious debate is healthy and sorely needed here.
