GRAND PRAIRIE, Tex.
On Thursday, I came here outside Dallas for a Tea Party rally.

I sat in the front row. But when the emcee asked, “Do we have any infiltrators?” and I almost raised my hand, I realized that sitting there might not be such a good idea.

The Mankato TaxEnoughAlready crowd numbered in the 100 range ... but from the pre-publicity and media coverage, one would think this was as big an event as a Vikings practice ... wait a second, at a Vikings practice there is 100 ... mostly black and all millionaires ... with a thousand people - prodominately white - watching.
