"Tea" protests flood America

[gizmita123]

Too bad they are blaming OBAMA instead of their own party..MAKE the corporations pay their share, keep the jobs here...its the Congress that is killing us, they want us to be a third world nation...where they have all the money and we have nothing.

[sanchez2021]

The sad thing is the the vast majority haven't the slightest clue as to what they are protesting. They're just out there because some guy on fox told them to be out there.

[tireren10]

fuck you tea party long live communism

[zzthetubezz]

A problem in the world is the gang problem,more people need to speak out about this problem,research,research,rese­arch,research about this problem,Gangs use children because they know that whatever the child under thirteen does, he or she cannot go to jail.

[windycityrodeo]

"Tea Party" is a Big Lie. It's not the simple 1700s. We now have millions of life-saving water-food-air-safety, police, military, etc. provided by "big government" (We The People). During the real Tea Party there were no freeways, bridges nor school that allow real tax-paying patriots to work & contribute to the superior progress this nation has. I've never whined about paying taxes as without regulations many of us wouldn't be here. Due to Cheney's deregulations the Gulf is an oil pool."

Government regulations have never helped the economy.

More Faux News Teabaggery.

[tomjohnson1974]

its a dam shame when i , an American , has to watch Russia TV to get honest news .

[stuartc2c]

i think its good that americans are finnally protesting instead of fearing their goverment, in europe if taxes go up by 1% half of it would protest and the government backs down, in america the government has too much control over citizens

[oldbimmercoupe]

notice Faux News was not mentioned as the creator of this mobilization of the (formerly) willfully ignorant. indeed they slept for 8-yrs and indeed they are hypocritical and often racist. however, the system is broken; now even the drones that suck up hate radio and Faux are paying attention. hm.

[eawhite73]

Actually jnyc2007 your kinda right GW did bail out the banks and by the end of this month 2 banks will pay the money back in full with interest. And the rest by the end of the yr. As far as Clinton goes he left GW with a houseing market that was callaspeing. Which led to this whole recession. Get your facts straight dont believe everything you hear on msnbc.

[jnyc2007]

WHERE WERE YOU THE PAST 8 YEARS?

- Oct 3, 2008 GW bails out the financial industry with tax payer money.... and you were silent.

- The Clinton Administration leaves GW a budget surplus, and he runs up more debt than any President ever.... and you were silent.

I guess it's OK because we had a right wing, white, conservative President? and now you've lost you have something to say?

- Too little, too late, sore loser hypocrits.

[CoolScoobydoo]

I agree with you. Where were they 8 years ago? Somewhere there has to be a counter attack to the tea party movement.

I wonder what they mean take our country back to the days of the founders.

[iamaloserandisuck]

I'm glad these retards don't vote in my country.

[TheGraceofChrist]

You don't have a clue. Have you even tried to read the bill?! There are TAXES/FINES (pg 297-299, 303) IF YOU DON'T COMPLY & if ANY changes are made to your current coverage NO MATTER HOW MINOR you are mandated to take the gov. plan (pgs 91-92). I could go on and on about the restrictions etc. in this so called "reform" bill. I used to be a democrat, will soon change my party. People need to wake up, our choices will be limited and our already failing economy God only knows what will become of it

[Codad]

It's sad when you have to watch foreign news to find actual reporting.

[wc470]

damn sucks i had to work that day i would have gladly been down there

[trevor920]

need anarchy !!!!!!!!

[newBelGum]

Ya NBC is a joke, and their rateings show it

[Muffinfordinner]

oh yeah theres nothing racist about that. lets protest the "tea"

[theastrusmega]

Russia Today is a blatantly biased anti American News Organization.

[AtlasObjectivist]

Not as anti American as NBC News.

[skipjack84]

where were these morons when bush was in office-we paid taxes back then too guys,hmmm

[Mr0neStaR]

they were supporting Ron Paul... remember the candidate that told the truth about the American Empire ?

[motiongraphics81]

The Libertarians and Constitutionalists that organized these protests (NOT THE FUCKING GOP) were still griping when Bush was in office, you just weren't paying attention.

[jsh78mang]

Yeah not our fault the GOP and affiliated Fox news where humping the leg of liberty in a last ditch effort of neoconness.

[motiongraphics81]

Individualism FTW.

[ogienewuser]

Tea Party?

Z Z Z ...

What a boring joke !!!

Right-wingers, why don't you just all go home and have a private tea with Alice and the white rabbit !!!

[frenchtoasty17]

Lol. So, so sad. "We want costly wars in other countries to secure oil interests, but we don't want taxes," "We want a war on 'dangerous drugs' like marijuana, but we don't want taxes," "We want better health care, but we don't want taxes."

When will Americans wake up and realize that capitalism is the thing that is destroying their lifestyles?

[motiongraphics81]

The people who organized the protests, the Libertarians and Constitutionalists, NOT THE REPUBLICANS, opposed the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, want to end the war on drugs, don't want Commie healthcare, and realize that we have NEVER had Laissez Faire Capitalism, ever, in this country or any other except maybe Ireland, so I'm sorry, frenchtoasty. Please read the writings of some truly great Frenchmen, like Bastiat and Montesquieu.

[frenchtoasty17]

Please read some writings by Ayn Rand to see just how fucking retarded the system we have is. Her principles were used by Greenspan and the whole of wallstreet, and they have done a great job of raping the innocents who live here. Today I found out that some senior citizen friends of ours can't sell their old house after DOWNSIZING, and they are going bankrupt. What we have is Laissez-Faire enough.

[MeleseZenawi]

What's so funny about this so called anti tax tea parties, is that non of these handful protesters make more than $200,000 a year. The republican party heads who stirred these fools on the other hand make a lot more.

FYI:

New Prez Obama tax plan = If one makes over $200,000 yes it will be taxed! The republicans do these on purpose to avoid them and their Corporate friends being taxed!

[Nativist817]

How do you know the incomes of these people??Corporations don't pay taxes for the 1,000,000,000 time! People in the corporations pay the taxes.

[vartovsk30]

this was the first protest I actually WANTED to join.

the news media normally sides with the protesters but the funny thing is since it was people who are protesting against the LEFT, the news doesnt like it. and the Left wing NAZIs are hating on them.

The funny thing is the left will have to pay taxes too... dumb shits

[Back2BackJack]

Obama promised tax curs for 95% of Americans. Now he's talking about taxing utilities for carbon emissions, increasing utility bills. Now I'm sure the 95% of those receiving tax cuts use heat and electricity. So now their tax cuts will be offset by this proposed tax. It's a scam. He sold us snake oil with the tax cuts for middle-class people.

[stewart0312]

At 1:47- "Patricia Tallarico - Tax Protesting Tea bagger" - ROFL

Do you think the RT news gets the joke.

[l1nuxun1l]

Thank you Russia Today, its crazy to see that RUSSIA GETS THE NEWS RIGHT AND WE CANT!

[zx7bike]

IT ANNT ABOUT BLACK OR WHITE,ITS ABOUT WRONG AND RIGHT!!HAY,HAY,HO,HO,Obama and his Party has to GO!FREEDOM!

[nzingamina]

"America has been changing"...lol...aka White are becoming the minorities and scarred shitless. Too funny....

[motiongraphics81]

Don't be one-dimensional. I would support the candidate with the proper philosophy regardless of his race. Racism is lame, and even lamer are people saying "IF U DONT LIKE OBAMA U A RACIST LOL". Fuck that shit. Obama is straigh New World Order, so was Bush, Reagan, Clinton, all the way back to Kennedy, the last real President, and he was a Democrat so PLEASE get past all of this Racist, Left Versus Right horseshit. It's about IDEAS and nothing else.

[nzingamina]

So is ron paul a new world order clown. Give me a break when you support a racist.

[motiongraphics81]

...and you reach this conclusion, how? C'mon, you're acting like no black people supported Ron Paul. Which is crazy talk. Paul ain't no racist, he's a philosophical individualist. Just like Dr. King said, judge people by the content of their character. wtf.

[nzingamina]

He started a newsletter and had racist write terrible things about Jews, Blacks and immigrants. So yeahhhh....he is racist.

[motiongraphics81]

I know exactly what you're talking about, a staff writer wrote those articles and was fired immediately. Ron Paul didn't write that shit. I know exactly what you're referring to.

[motherussia123]

ahahahaha

DIE AMERICA

[kunga666]

America is already gone...get used to it, we will soon be ONE econ block, mexico, america, canada, with the AMERO as currency. Americans are fat, lazy, and TOO DAMN LATE. NWO is LARGE and IN CHARGE, get used to it lol!

[Freemarketeer81]

Well said. Very well said.

[DIJV79]

Americas becoming non-white is that what you mean !

[Xirj]

Lol RT, bias much? This was almost as one sided as the FOX that organized these events. Where was the fair reporting of the unquestionable majority that thinks for themselves and didn't go to these ridiculous "protests".

[Isawanangel1X]

everyone, please watch this beautiful song from the protest

?v=r0eoE9mi9iw

[therealcaptobvious]

THis is a much better report than the junk CNN threw at us.

[swillie]

Both parties are controlled by the banks at this point. No use even voting anymore, they are all crooks.

[Smokeyg1972]

9 trillion Courtesy of Bush w (6 years of a republican congress) letting the market completely run itself. hey that was a good idea now blame the democrats for trying to fix the mess. again where were these people last year and the year before???

[juggernautxtr]

and 6 trillion dollars in 2 months by obamma and the democrat that were voted in, that is not going to fix the problem.

[Smokeyg1972]

Thank bush for doubling the national debt in 8 years and creating this crisis. frustrated Americans, more like ignorant Americans. The Bush tax cuts have crippled your nation. where were these protests while he was spending trillions over the last 8 years? hipocrits

[mattlewis66]

Sorry. I don't think so. Can you cite to some official report that backs you up? It was greedy bankers plus bad mortgage tactics plus a lot of foolish homebuyers that has caused the current crisis, that an Barney Frank's pillow talk with Fannie and Freddie. Now what do we get?? More power to the same Congress and more power to what is more clearly becoming an grasping Administration. What's the bill added to the national debt: $9 trillion courtesy Obama, Pelosi, Reid.

[uru86]

Other "left-wing" marches in the US that were over 600 people:

Anti-Iraq war protest in New York City, Feb 15, 2003: In total estimates range from been 300,000 to 400,000 protesters (WSWS estimate).[37] to over a million protesters (Berlin Heise estimate)[50]

Anti-globalization protests in Seattle, 1999: The scale of the demonstrations—even the lowest estimates put the crowd at over 40,000—dwarfed any previous demonstration in the United States against a world meeting

Your ignorant.

[uru86]

The million man march was a march against white-naitonalist conservativism, republicanism, Limbaughism that sought to undermine the advances that the civil rights movement, a progressive left wing movement, won throughout the century, and it was a celebration against ignorance. The march was not looked on positively by your ilk, and was supported by progressive movements and black organizations. But lets not limit ourselves to that march.

[motiongraphics81]

The Republicans PASSED the civil rights acts back in the 50s and 60s. At that time, the Democrats were led by guys like Bull Connor and the Dixiecrats, JFK was an exception. Get off the plantation, neither party gives a shit about you.

[uru86]

Wow look at that "massive" crowd...pathetic.

[gismotech]

yea when has the left managed 600 protest nation wide. NEVER.

[uru86]

Ya not the million man march, or the millions of people all over the US and the world who protested the Iraq War...ignorant fool, go protest for the rich.

[gismotech]

frist off fuckwad the million man march was not a political march dumbass it was a black march for men telling them to do what was right and act like men I know people that attended you fucking idiot.

and your Iraq war protest? and what was the date of the 600 protest nation wide held?

fucken dumbass

[motiongraphics81]

As I recall, a lot of those Iraq War Protests were organized by the Libertarians, not 'the left'.

[SapientiaEtFortuna]

Tea bag parties are from the same British-jewish banking cartels that promote both sides!!!

IT IS FAKE!!!

[ArtypNk]

Where are my tear gas and rubber bullets at?

[beauzackosta]

you mean -

where be my bullets at?

If you are going to sound stupid, don't just sound half-stupid.

[ArtypNk]

I dont know what are you thinking about. What I'm saying is : Where the hell are cops who used tear gas and rubber bullets on almost every protest in the past few years.

[gismotech]

maybe its because these protester did not attack the cops.

[ArtypNk]

Protesters never attack cops. In ye old days, it was enough to tell out loud "Bush is a corrupt bastard, impeach him". And now you can suddenly call everyone nazi, and encourage to stockpile guns because "The revolution is coming"?

[gismotech]

bull shit I live in seattle don't try and tell me how peacefull left wing protesters are

you moron

[ArtypNk]

Well, enjoy the revolution.

[raelior]

If Americans have played the harlot with lasiviousness, then the Truth should be burdensome. Say yes to Honest economics. End this corporation of lies and this theivery that is control mongering.

[peacerebelgirl]

i think the obama administration is quite transparent if a person is paying attention. he's never been for the people and those who voted for him need to see beyond his campaign rhetoric.

[PegsEP]

Cool doesn't make him a good President.

[shockadelicaustralia]

For the first time in

my adult lifetime, I am really proud of your countrymen.

Australians feel the same way. Many nations are doing the same kinds of bailouts and worthless "stimulus" spending. And I though our politicians believed in "free" markets! Not free from them, apparently.

[gwellyn]

This nothing about left or right,it's about all the people being stripped of their money and possesions by the elite .

So please dont twist things,it's sick.

[ImperialEmpire]

These groups do this every year around tax time because they believe that income tax is illegal and isn't in the constitution (when it is). What they groups leave out is that 50% of Americans end up paying no income taxes after their tax deductions and 70% of Americans receive tax refunds from the government.

In any case, this was a political group mostly organized by Republicans so take it at a grain of salt. It's partisan. Something like 70% of Americans agree with Obama.

[dennist3hmenace]

Wow, why is the Russian News more fair than any here in America?

America is going to hell in a handbasket, I hope you guys are ready for whats coming.

[Squirelbutt]

Because they are not bribed by the corporations controling american media.

[motiongraphics81]

LOL, they're only bribed by the corporations running the Russian media. Do you really think things are that different over there?

[Squirelbutt]

True.. Thats the fun thing about propaganda. If you dont have truth on your side then propaganda it. The thing is we have propaganda working against us here and they exposing it.

[NSResponder]

The Republican party WISHES it could arrange something like this.

-jcr

[Squirelbutt]

You got that right... Really pisses me off that they are trying to take the credit for it. And now they are kissing our asses.

[WTC7WasPulled]

9 1 1 = inside job

[enuvune]

"Tax Protesting Tea Bagger". Oh god that's hilarious.

[callieland]

some of us are beyond the false left/right paradigm. some of us protested bush and continue to protest the obama administration. just because there's a new face in the white house, doesnt mean we stop examining the erosion of constitutional protections.

[uzaiyaro]

They KNEW they were going to get taxed when they voted for him. America just keeps getting themselves deeper and deeper into shit and they're helping themselves into this situation.

[lumpfish99]

unfortunately, if you go forward 4 years to another election these guys will go to the polls again and be duped again.....the change comes when we realise the whole system is corrupt and we stop participating in it....

[Blackjack555]

we make violent revolution inevitable."

[zakirhakim]

Taxes have not been raised for any of these idiots. If your income is under 250,000 then you have nothing to bitch about.  Bitch about the deficit at least that is a real concern. IDIOTS

[Bowser2398]

The protests aren't about taxes being raised(Which WILL happen in the future- or in the form of inflation- when the government is spending more than tax revenues it is collecting). Why do you have nothing to bitch about with income less than 250,000? People should continue to bitch even if the IRS steals only 1 dollar from their paycheck- because. yes, stealing is still wrong even if a government agent is behind it.

[Squirelbutt]

The problem is that they need to quit spending so they wont need taxes. Obamas plan to tax small business to death. Just means less jobs. Its counterproductive.

[LilAlfiq]

Money is the lifeblood of government. If it doesn't tax and spend, it doesn't get anything done.

I think these bailouts are money poorly spent. You can't trust corporate execs to not blow every penny on self-indulgence.

[Squirelbutt]

It doesnt get anything done anyhow. The job description of government is to protect and defend our rights and libertys not run business.

[LookBetter4Ever]

RT knows whats going on in the US!

If Russia is awake to it, why aren't most American awake to it?
