Smart Move: VA Tea Party Organizers Scuttle Burning Effigies

The organizer is shocked people found this in poor taste. Took a few days, but consider the message received.

The Danville TEA Party has officially cancelled its bonfire planned for Saturday, according to the group’s chairman, Nigel Coleman.

Coleman said Monday that the owner of the property in Blairs, where they had planned to hold the bonfire, has pulled the plug on the event because of the negative attention the rally has garnered. The bonfire originally included burning effigies of Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5th District, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. The property owner is not a member of the TEA Party, Coleman said.

Amazing how burning the Speaker of the House and your local Congressman will actually garner negative attention, isn't it.

Thanks for helping the cause, Nigel.
