Well, that's not exactly what I said, but you get the point.

I want to thank all of you who poured into Veterans Park yesterday for what was billed as Milwaukee's largest tea party. I expected protestors, there were hardly any. I expected some rowdiness, there was absolutely none! I looked for signs of racism.... none, zero, nada!

Hmmm...

On several occasions I wandered through the crowd meeting and greeting people as they arrived. The event was a multi-generational affair. It was a slice of America, it was inspiring. I will never forget the 87 year old woman who grabbed me and held on tight. As I bent down to hug her, she squeezed me and whispered in her broken voice, Thank you for coming! She was welcoming me to her party! When I looked up, I saw what looked to be her entire family, three generations worth! Her daughter said, "My mother turned us all on to your show! She's the reason we are down here today! Can we take your picture with her?"

"Of course you can. Snap away!"

There are hundreds more stories like this one. Stories about the crowd, the excitement, about love of country and the brotherhood of man. It kills me that the DI's of the world (Deficient-ly Interested) get to re-define, through bias and contempt, what thousands of people experienced as positive and inspiring.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Cosby... DI's.  Danny Infernos ... Deficient-ly Interested.

As many of you know, I don't consider myself to be part of the main stream media, but my "credentials" gained me access to two of the headline speakers at yesterday's rally.

I guess membership does have its privilege.

Michelle Malkin: Sigh. Brilliant, beautiful, on purpose. I used my allotted time to thank her for her support after my McCain moment. She didn't know me at the time but she did come to my defense at HotAir.com. Her acknowledgment inspired me. It also alerted the Conservative calvary who soon rode to the rescue. I was grateful for the chance to finally thank her. personally.

Joe The Plumber: Incredible fit (As in, "Dude, do you work out?"). Genuine, plain spoken, libertarian. I finally got to thank Joe for taking the heat off me. He was amused at the thought that his hell was my salvation! It was a genuine moment.

Both speakers rocked the house along with everyone else who took the stage. In less than a year, I have now attended the ultimate town hall meeting and the largest tea party in Wisconsin's history. Both events were amazing in how they brought together the best in people, the best in civic pride, and in love of God and love of country.  I believe that makes me uniquely qualified to say that people who characterize what they see through media as racist.... are racist.

More to come...
