Went down to the tea party Wednesday..

I was there and what you say is a lie and spin. But, that’s what one would expect from a socialist who can’t function without the government.

BTW, we’re in this financial mess because of the democrats. Already posted enough proof of that.

Maybe the gummint will tax gaseous emissions coming from your jaws. Seems to be plenty of it.

All I want to know is did they serve tea????? hehehe

the best way to conquer a nation? divide it within itself. the 1st and 2nd posts in the thread are pretty good examples.

The "Tea Parties" appeared to essentially be a protest of the Presidential election in November. I saw no solutions presented and no bi-partisanship (which is necessary for success). I also noticed that not one single nationally recognized Republican endorsed the little gatherings. The most notable endorsement was Texas Gov., Rick Perry, who suggested that Texas may "Secede!". I also saw some of the signs and comments posted on Utube, and various other sites.

It's alright. I know that it is the liberal nature to belittle and demean that which you don't understand and can't appreciate.

You can't help yourselves. We forgive you.

You won't see this in the news. The numbers show how successful this coordinated grassroots effort was across the country. Many other people who might have attended were at work.

1 million attend tea parties in 50 states
'Obama has awakened a sleeping giant'

An estimated 1 million Americans participated in at least 1,000 tea parties, according to reports by organizers tabulating the nationwide numbers, with documented protests held in 50 states.
Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform told WND, "The Obama administration has awakened a sleeping giant."
Tax Day Tea Party national event coordinator Amy Kremer told WND she has confirmed that more than 850 parties took place. She has at least 100 more reports in her e-mail inbox that have not been posted.


Asked how many people attended the events, she responded, "I would estimate it at over 1 million. I'm waiting on more numbers to come in from organizers right now. I can tell you it is absolutely over 750,000 right now."


The largest protests occurred in Atlanta, Ga., with 15,000 participants. As many as 10,000 protesters participating in Sacramento, Calif., and Overland Park, Kan., according to data compiled by Americans for Tax Reform on more than 207 tea parties.
Americans for Tax Reform has established an Internet page on the group's website where organizers of tea parties can submit attendance estimates to be included in the running tally.


Michael DePrimo, special counsel to American Family Aassociation President Tim Wildmon, told WND that AFA's tea party website, Tea Party Day, had 2,031 confirmations that tea parties were to be held in as many cities.


"Since yesterday, we have had 394 cities give us reports, many with photographs, about the tea parties that were held," he said. "We have not been able to get all the information up. We expect more to come in as the days go by."

Glenn Beck reported yesterday on his Fox News program that official estimates of the participation in the Tea Party held in San Antonio, Texas, reached as many as 20,000 people.

"The establishment in Washington, D.C., is terrified," Norquist said. "There were no such demonstrations four months into the administrations of Democratic presidents Carter or Clinton."
Norquist told WND that the Obama administration was taken by surprise by the nationwide protests because the administration had calculated increased government spending was supposed to be the popular part of President Obama's economic stimulus plan.
Instead, Norquist said, the tea parties held in every state on Wednesday proved Americans nationwide are demonstrating in anger and disappointment against Obama administration plans for massive deficit spending.

"Imagine what happens when President Obama, House Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid begin to pay for their 'spend-fest' with higher taxes and inflation," Norquist said.
Kremer said the mainstream media have completely neglected their duty to accurately report on this nationwide movement.
"It's amazing that the mainstream media is reporting it the way that they are," she said. "It's just crazy. It's basically just going to come down to us. We're now reporting it ourselves because they are not reporting it accurately."
Many say the mainstream media attempted either to ignore the protests altogether or characterized tea partiers as disgruntled Republicans unable to accept that "they lost" the 2008 presidential campaign or as "rich taxpayers" unwilling to pay their fair burden of taxes.
However, Kremer said she is constantly receiving reports from organizers about the movement's resounding success.
"I think it was an absolute success," she said. "We want to send a message to them: We hired them; we can fire them. They work for us. They seem to have forgotten that."
She continued, "If it means we have to go after every incumbent in office from now until 2012, we will do that. But the American people are tired of sitting by, and they are starting to step forward and take notice.

I usually don't respond to these topics, but this time I feel I must. First of all I am not in the upper income set and I was there! Second, someone missed the point because everyone there was worried about their children and the way the government is going. We are not upset because Obama is president IF he would do the right thing. We just don't want to be in debt having him and congress bail out companies, spend trillions that will take decades to recover from, take control of companies and eventually will take over our lives! I personally want to be able to speak my opinion about the world and not be called a terrorist for it! We came to America because we were sick of governmental rule in England doesn't anyone remember that. Socialism does not work! Now I was there the whole time and no one made fun of nor said anything bad about anyone in particular, but everytime I hear someone opposing it, They wish to degrade what was said and who attended. What does that tell me? hmmm.

Well Bless my Heart.I looked hard at the photo and couldn't see any swastikas or Klan Hoods or anti-government or Anti-Obama signs.Doesn't look like a bunch of right wing extremist to me.

I have never heard of a gathering of this sort to have no disgruntled people doing vandalism...No incidents of violence reported. Unless you can count the tea party lady in FL getting hit by a passerby car. The lady in the car was upset that it damaged her car.
We live in upside down world ya'll!!
Oh and elsewhere a lady was arrested ..because she was on the street instead of the sidewalk.

Amen! We bring up valid points and they are so hung up on the Obama train all they can do is shout racists. I wouldn't care if the man were pink. What I want is policies that are in the long term interest of America not the short term interest of the Democratic party.

The Boston Tea Party didn't present any solutions either. The colonist made statements of "No taxation without representation", but they didn't want representation. They wanted less/no taxation, very similar to the more recent tea parties. However, I'm not sure these more recent te parties made any difference. If these people really wanted to show the government how far they would go, they should have refused to pay their income taxes or something. There is an old saying; "put your money where your mouth is". If there really were 1,000,000 people at these events, and they all refused to pay on tax day, then the I think government would take a least some notice. Yes it's illegal, but so was the original Boston Tea Party. By the way, did anyone at the new tea parties dress like Indians to disguise themselves?

No but the initiator of this thread snuck down there dressed like a fruit.

So he went dressed normally, then.

Nice post. Welcome to the chaos.

1. Will these deplorable tea parties become a periodic blight on the ideological landscape or

Deplorable? Why?

They are assembling peacefully, exercising a protected right.

They are expressing themselves, exercising a protected right.

They are petitioning the government, exercising a protected right.

Exactly what part of the tea parties are deplorable? Were the anti-Bush protests that happened while he was in office also deplorable?

So, was betern whatever, dressed as a banana, a pineapple, or did he wear one of those fruit laden Carmen Miranda hats?

The demonstrators appeared peaceful and amiable, unlike Code Pink or ACORN.

The reaction by Botox queen -- Pelosi and many other Dems and leftists told the tale. Why do they rage so against their fellow citizens indulging in their First Amendment rights?

Yes, yes we've already heard the same trash from that grisly little troll woman, also know as Janeane Garofalo, spouting off on her "brain theory" and other pseudo-intellectual garbage. According to the skank, it's all about the size of the "migdala brain" that causes the problems that "creates" right-wingers ... I can only surmise that the greasy little selfimportant troll actually means the 'amigdala brain', a key component in the limbic system, but then would imbue her/it with credit where it seems none is deserved. The keen silliness of the left never ceases to amaze, and even sometimes amuse me. Thanks for that.

And just WHERE were all the conservative tea sippers when the TARP legislation was enacted under the BUSH administration? That act authorized about three quarters of a trillion dollars to remedy the "toxic assets" problem created by collapse of the investment banking system at the hands of Wall Street manipulators. There was no mass protest of that government spending. And where were they during all the time when Bush's irrational military expedition in Iraq was consuming hundreds of billions of dollars on the now-clearly-admitted false basis of interdicting "weapons of mass destruction?" I think we know the answer to that last question: they were behaving like sheep, saying amen to the irrational "rationalizations" put up by the moronic media right wingers to attempt (but in vain) to justify that misadventure. Now the right wing sheeple are being whipped into the same kind of frenzy by the manipulators who use such folks to oppose taxes, all the while somehow conveniently forgetting that the Obama budget proposes to reduce the taxes of lower and middle income folks and raise them on only the very richest of taxpayers. In other words, the tea party set has been conned into protesting taxes on the filthy rich. B-a-a-a-!

After watching the performances of people like janeane garofalo, rosie o'donnell, and whoopie goldberg; do you stop and wonder how they ever even got into the intertainment business? I thought it took either talent or beauty but they miss so badly on those counts, it remains a mystery.

Nobody objects to these people exercising their First Amendment rights, the exercise of those rights carries no guarantee of immunity from criticism. In commenting on some of the things I saw there and some related matters, I happen to be exercising MY First Amendment rights. Is that OK with you? Or are you content to exercise YOUR First Amendment right to make silly comments about various fruits, botox, etc.? As to "rage," well, without question that commodity certainly was in ample supply down at the tea party!

'''janeane garofalo'''
Such a lovely woman. She said all the tea parties were just racists hating 'the black man in the White House'.
Ummm, sure, that works real well.

Betern, people did object to TARP.. The first tea parties were held in February. As for the Iraq war, no point in arguing that. Just remember the dems were cheering for the other side to make Bush look bad. Don't try to deny it.

The only reason all the dems are complaining is because Fox news sent some of their people to cover the larger cities. How dare they!

That's what's great about being Conservative. We don't have to make things up. The truth is always on our side.

BeternU was there and stuck out like a sore thumb. While everyone was listening and watching the speakers, he was scouring the crowd, hoping to spot something he could post here. During the prayers and the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance he also was gawking at the crowd, rather than having the decency to participate, even for a moment. And, before you say, "if you were watching him, that means you weren't praying either", I noticed it when I went back later and watched the video I took, with the camera capturing BeternU's actions.

You are out and out lying with your statement about the 'theocracy', but I can see why, given there was nothing going on but a lot of good people sick of the direction this government has been heading for a couple of years at least, but especially with the gargantuan level of spending as of late. You will always have a few people like the conspiracy guy. I'm sure 99.9% would think him to be a nutcase.

As soon as I saw the dude with the Bush mask, I knew the TD would make that the center piece of their coverage. Lo and behold, he was the close up in the cover pic and it virtually in every crowd shot. But I would expect nothing less.

The young man who led the closing prayer, was a young veteran, if I'm not mistaken, so thanks for disparaging him, too.

As far as the tax on cow flatulence, it's not whether it has a chance to pass, especially once it saw the light of day, it's the fact that someone actually thinks it's a good idea, and it wasn't ridiculed as soon as it came out of some envirowacko's mouth.
Link (this link, from the NY Times, is from Dec '08, so it's not old news).

As far as your witty 'necrophilia' remark, you ought to know better than to even conjour up those visions, but it amazes me, because the Dems have dredged up the same tired old talking points straight out of the Democrat playbook for decades.

You are a bitter man with nothing better to do than go to a rally with a bunch of folks you are diametrically (sp)opposed to, so you can come here a twist and spin what you saw. I'm glad you got your giggles.

I love all the opposition from you left leaners, through your amusing little posts. It must mean you're concerned, 'cause if not, you would consider it a waste of your time.

Now, Go get your own rally.

Makes you wonder about libs. If they get what they want and we become cuba-north, will they be happy about that?

No. No one to complain about or to.

From the clips I've seen in Paris, no rage was involved, except from CNN reporters and lefties. CNN is desperate.

My remarks on fruit were in jest and to remove aspersions on bertern. Poor fellow can't tell a joke from a hole or his arse.

You're right GOM.Like I've stated before,Beternu and his ilk are simply ticked because it is obvious that Americans are starting to wake up to the fact that America has elected a joke for President.I am coming to the conclusion that these liberal "males" suffer from "short man syndrome."They always seem to have the worst hatred for any leader who is willing to stand up to our enemies like a man.They call the cowboy swagger of Reagan and Bush arrogance;I call it being a man and knowing your beleifs and not being scared to act on them.

beternu, you haven't answered my question. I'm waiting.

Deplorable in that they epitomize the mobilization of the lower and middle-class masses to carry the water of the ultra-rich, the latter being the only group, under Obama's tax plan, whose taxes are proposed to be raised. Most, if not all of the tea partygoers would receive a tax reduction under the Obama plan. Are you not aware that TEA is short for "taxed enough already?" Those recceiving a tax reduction should appreciate that Obama's tax plan cuts their taxes and raises taxes on the wealthy. When the huge gap between the ultry-rich and the middle class is widening daily, it is not imprudent to look to the fat cats for additional revenue!

But,Beternu,raising taxes on those ultry-rich that you and your brother blue seem to hate so much will only result in reduced wages and layoffs for the poor and middle class.Class envy helps no one and hurts the jealous one worse.

Well if you truly believe that YOUR taxes are not going to be increased then I have some land in south Flroida to sell you. Most fail to realize that the abolishment of the previous Bush Tax Cuts (which supposedly only benefitted the rich....LOL) is going to raise their taxes. This little ploy by the Obama administration is one whereby they can say..."we did not raise them, we just reinstituted them". Add the reinstatement of death taxes, and capital gains, which will affect you regardless of hwat you make. It is high time we in the US stop penalizing those who do well. Most of us saw this coming and knew that this administration hated wealth and wanted nothing more than the redistribution of it.
On top of this, you can look for state taxes to skyrocket, along with the effect that increasing taxes on business will for all practical purposes raise the prices of all goods.
Some of us also know that when the inflation hits due to the current printing of money, that the lower and middle classes are going to be hamstrung with almost every penny they make going to pay for taxes and barest of neccessities.
The TEA party, despite what the leftists would have you believe, was a movement for those who are tired of wasteful spending and realize that this administration is continuing the same practices of the previous. It is time for it to stop.

The supposed tax cuts are superficial. The tax hikes on the rich can't cover the amount of money the government has borrowed for bailouts and stimulus packages.

Do you really think that the middle class will keep more of their money while the federal government spends on historic levels? We're putting our kids, grand kids, and great-grandkids deep into debt. That's why people were protesting.

The carbon credits scam will result in reported increase of $656 billion in increased utility costs -- indirect tax paid by all.

Dems rage against the Bush deficits, then plan to outdo him by 250 to 300 percent.

betern, where is the money to support such funding?

No Howard, that can't be true! All the good defacrats on here have told us WE won't be affected. We can't count skyrocketing energy prices as a hardship for middle-America.

Was Joe the FauxPlumber there? How about Jack van Impe and his familiar Dr. Rexella ranting about the New World Order and the Illuminati? Rather like watching a train wreck involving a semi truck, a toppled full school bus and an express in hindsight in my eyes of the coverage, ex post facto, I am so sad that I could not make it, but was occupied. I was looking forward to someone making a long speech on Evo Morales and his army marching to Texas or something along those lines or else a good new maudlin country song with lyrics inspired by Glenn Beck. From what I saw on the Fox, there weren't even any black helicopters hovering or National Guards called out to round up people for the FEMA camps. But Rick and Bubba, noted social commentators for the ears of the South did make it to Atlanta along with John Rich (the one from Big and Rich who looks like the cowboy from the Village People). Panic on Peachtree, but all's quiet on Virginia and also Highland, I have heard.

I vastly prefer my mayhem much more freeform and less organized, myself, with a cloud of teargas in the air and some baseball bats or at least bricks.

But Rick and Bubba, noted social commentators for the ears of the South did make it to Atlanta along with John Rich (the one from Big and Rich who looks like the cowboy from the Village People). Panic on Peachtree, but all's quiet on Virginia and also Highland, I have heard.

I vastly prefer my mayhem much more freeform and less organized, myself, with a cloud of teargas in the air and some baseball bats or at least bricks.

Good thing you didn't show up there NH..you might have got "nearly slapped" again...maybe not by a girl this time.

You can give the "train wreck/school bus/semi truck example a rest...it's worn out, and not impressive, to boot.

As all of the TEA Parties were peaceful protests protected and provided for under State law and the Constitution of the United States, I fully expected you to attempt to belittle them. Thanks for not disappointing me.
