15,000 At Anti-Tax “Heads On A Stick” Rally

Californians are so mad they are skipping their no-fat lattes to smash Arnold Schwarzenegger’s memorabilia and chant about beheading him.

Los Angeles KFI radio talk-show hosts “John and Ken” recently gathered up a crowd of 15,000 in Fullerton, Calif., and destroyed DVDs, VHS tapes, and memorabilia of nominal Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As the items were smashed the crowd chanted the words, “Heads on a stick.”

Periodically the radio personalities played recorded audio of Arnold promising not to raise taxes, which elicited large boos from the crowd.

The event was dubbed, “The Revolt, Recall, Repeal Rally.”

It was spurred on by the tens of billions in tax increases stuck to the people by the Governernator and a bunch of state legislators who had promised no new tax increases.

A group plans a recall attempt against select legislators and the Schwarzenegger  who  they feel  has betrayed them by raising taxs and fees more than cancelling anything promised in the Obama Economic Stimulus Package. Ironically Schwarzeneger was  first elected during the recall of then Governor Gray Davis because of high taxes and then record deficits that look tame now.

Tax protests and tea parties are busting out all over. California is the highest taxedstate in America with the greatest unemployment.

D.C. pols would be wise to take note.

    I wasn’t a Schwarzenegger supporter, but John and Ken are lowest-common-denominator tools.
