Adrienne at Adrienne’s Catholic Corner (fine site), emailed me and hat-tipped me on her take on the NYT disastrous hit-piece against the Tea Party movement. Because of the fact that Adrienne resides in Idaho and intimately knows the area referred to by a certain Rachel Dolezal ‘interviewed’ by the New York Times, Adrienne’s post is quite interesting and worth a read. This lady is not going to sit around and let pencil-pushing NYT elitist-statists malign her home town. Excerpt:

The areas depicted in these articles – Spokane, Post Falls, Coeur d’Alene, is where I have made my home for over 22 years. First off, I have no idea of what Ms. Dolezal is referring to when she claims she would be “nervous” to attend a tea party event in my home town of Post Falls. I’ve been to these tea party events and have never witnessed crude signs or crude behavior. I have, however, witnessed many “people of color”, and none of them appeared the least bit nervous.

To back up my point, take a gander at the photos the New York Times published as a slide-show with their article. You will not see “wild-eyed true believers”, as Mr. Stoll has labeled us. You will see rather normal looking people exercising their right to protest a government run wild.

This meme about North Idaho has been going on since before I moved here, due to a very small group of people who called themselves “white supremacists” camped out in Hayden Lake, a bit north of Coeur d’ Alene. The MSM has consistently made it appear as though this compound of wackos, which incidentally has been gone for a good number of years, was comprised of hundreds of fringe lunatics. The truth is there was never more than 10 or 15 people hanging out acting stupidly.
