    Wow. I love it when people protest and have no idea what they are protesting about except for catchy terms they cannot define. My favorite statement was that Obama was going to ban fishing. yea..... I also loved the irony of the Freedom Works Foundation podium (an organization run by Dick Armey, a true small government representative and unbiased lobbyist, lol) that had a Lord from England speaking (maybe they really believe it is a tea bagging party in the 1700's ??) and he gives kudos out to Fox news and all its anchors for their great job spreading the teabagging truth. A great watch, thanks for posting.
  • It scares me that they can't articulate what it is they're scared of. They parrot Beck very well in answering "tyranny" and "socialism", but many of them can't describe what that even means. Also, faced with the fact that they're wrong about taxes, they just claim conspiracy. In other words, there's no reasoning with them.

    (BTW, I once failed to claim the correct deduction and the IRS credited me for it so that is absolutely true)

    I think there's also more than anger here. I get the feeling these people feel marginalized and being part of this "Tea Party Movement" that is going to "save America from a descent into socialism and tyranny" is making them feel very important. I know everyone is in it for different reasons, but that's something I picked up in this video.

    No EPA! Global Warming is bullshit! I don't deserve a lower tax rate because I'm not a hard worker like the CEO!

    No EPA!

    I didn't watch the video, but did they really say no EPA??? That must be some kind of joke. Right? :?
  • The only people that are ignorant are you DRONES. You people have know idea how bad things are going to get under this president cos your blinded by your own ideology and you don't want to hear what the other side has to say. This reminds me of the video that Pelosi's daughter made when Mcain and Obama were running for president. Let's see if we can find the most un informed people at these protest and marginalize them. Do I need to post the videos of Obama supporters that were asked if they supported Obama on xy,z but really it's what Mcain stood for? Did you forget about those people ? And these people don't even know what party has control of the house and senate. ,and were the dumb ones... yeahhhhh right :roll:

    Where you saying this very same statement when Bush and the Repubs were pushing anything and everything through Congress and down the throats of America as well? Wars, tax and social security reform, foreign policy, and many others. Last I checked, most of his major policies and agenda's were not well received by a vast and clear portion of citizens. We're you saying then - let's hear what the other side has to say?

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    Yup.

    1st person:
    "...get rid of some agencies that we don't need..."

    2nd person
    "..getting rid of the Dept. of Education, getting rid of the EPA, getting rid of the IRS..."

    3rd person:
    "Q: Social Security?
    A: Absolutely, get rid of it
    Q: Dept of Education?
    A: Yup
    Q: EPA?
    A: Yup. You can go all the way through, get rid of all of it"

    But then the next interviewee says that we do need help for the under-privileged and things that help the country like infrastructure and education. So who knows ...

    Any rally for any candidate is going to have some ill-informed people. And every party had members that probably can't explain each and every position correctly.

    The difference here is that these people are talking about creating militias and taking up arms to protect themselves against something that they don't even understand. That's scary! They are using the words "communism" and "socialism" and "nazism" interchangeably and allowing FOX, Beck and Limbaugh to whip them into a frenzy based on buzzwords and fear. If you're going to threaten to take up arms, you damn well better understand what for.

    and there's a point in the video where the speaker gets the crowd chanting "there's a communist living in the white house!" then after a few times shouts "and what are we gonna do about it!? with god's help!" that's far more than a few uninformed people

    the movement has had people like michelle bachman talking about political re-education camps, palin and other fools babbling about death panels and old people will be given a pill to kill them while a few of the people in the video want to get rid of social security.....

    The video does expose some nut jobs but the source of the video had an agenda. It would be similar to a Colts fan putting together a 2009 New England Patriots high-light film.

    except for the part i mentioned a few posts up. having the crowd chant that is more than 'some nut jobs' that is a majority of the group who obviously agree with it otherwise they wouldn't be chanting.

    Wow. I love it when people protest and have no idea what they are protesting about except for catchy terms they cannot define. My favorite statement was that Obama was going to ban fishing. yea..... I also loved the irony of the Freedom Works Foundation podium (an organization run by Dick Armey, a true small government representative and unbiased lobbyist, lol) that had a Lord from England speaking (maybe they really believe it is a tea bagging party in the 1700's ??) and he gives kudos out to Fox news and all its anchors for their great job spreading the teabagging truth. A great watch, thanks for posting.
    Check the state of Oregon in regards to the fishing statement. This is true . Fishing as we know it here in this state will be changed. and YES, I do fish, I was just out this past weekend. GO TEABAGGERS!

    Limiting fishing of an endangered salmon species is totally different than banning fishing.

    I'd love to see a poll or something. Seems like every time someone says this movement wants x, y, or z (and it's criticized), someone else says that's not what they want. Seems like if you're going to have a movement you must define your positions - though I guess the tactic is that if you don't define your position you can never be criticised. Of course, even if they did their own poll, I don't doubt that the findings would be denied as well in the face of criticism.
