Scenes From The Most Important Protest In Political History

[amarenjs]

It is sad that every time there is a protest of 10,000 or even 50,000 illegal immigrants who rally because they want citizenship handed to them on a silver platter or every small code pink rally against the war, they get numerous primetime coverage, yet when it is viewed as a "conservative" protest of 250,000 all over the nation, somehow it is not worth covering.... anybody see how that lib-tard CNN reported bashed the protesters? liberals are angry people who will never be happy...

[pureevilfnord]

@amarenjs AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my GOD, could you POSSIBLY be MORE of a tea party stereotype? Try peppering your sentences liberally (get it?) with the word "libtard" That should spice things up! Then finish it all off by calling me stupid and assuming I'm a liberal!

[ergooden]

The funny thing is ... they remembered the tea -- a million bags purchased in order to protest wasteful spending -- and then were denied permission by the National Parks Service because they had no permit. So they packed up the tea and went home.

Way to fight the man!

[johnlau90]

this is really sad

[s4rcorvette]

I say spoof video, It's a video shot by leftists of other leftists

[bandit957]

Actually this is not a spoof.

This is real. The Cincinnati Tea Party was just as bad.

The whole notion about this video being a spoof and a hoax is just another wingnut talking point.

[waterblom]

liars all liars.

These are leftist 'community organizers'

They are chanting things that doesn't potray AT ALL what the teaparties was about.

FAKE

FAKE

FAKE

[pureevilfnord]

@waterblom It's not what the Tea Party is about, it's what the people BEHIND the Tea Party are about. Anyone who doesn't believe the Tea Party is a right-wing movement are just fooling themselves.

It's sad watching Americans (right and left) try to have a "political debate" when both sides are so hideously misinformed. No wonder the corporations have taken over. The "teabaggers" and "libtards" need to work together or we'll all get sucked dry, if we haven't already.

[hillbillyhatfield72]

It's a video shot by leftists of other leftists who, after trying and failing to infiltrate the D.C. Tea Party, moved elsewhere, chanting slogans like "tax work, not wealth" in an effort to falsely make Tea Party attendees look rich, callous and out-of-touch. It's not a spoof meant in fun, but a spoof meant to slander.

[rghrdrgirl]

you would think that others would notice some of the stuff that you pointed out, but they would rather believe this fake tea party organized (and i use that term lightly here) by 'the billionaire boys club'. the funny thing is that there is proof right here on youtube, but how many do you think wil either check it out or if they do, then just dismiss it as a 'who cares' type of thing. kind of like...'who cares if this was a joke cause i'm sure there was SOMETHING real like this SOMEWHERE...'

[motandrew]

Man, I've seen more people at Fun Runs I've organized

[Jigore]

Fed here, not impressed, I'll keep printing money.

[PerfectGlitch]

Most Important Protest in Political History?

This isn't even in the top 1,000.

[resurgent1]

I support the conservative movement because I'm conservative but all activists are Gay and these people are going to Hell. God does not forgive sinners and you protesters are Sinners. The Almighty has no forgiveness for your filth.

[tarded2much]

Those retards in tuxes are liberal counter-protesters. They showed up and often got chanted down with 'limousine liberal' and 'where are your buddies Ted Kennedy and Tom Daschle with their limos to pick you up?'

Liberals are stupid. They can write a check to the US Treasury and pay more taxes any time they like. But that's not what they want. They want to stick a gun to your head and make you pay more taxes.

[rghrdrgirl]

as i have previously stated, libs are wiling to beleive anything negative they see about the right....no matter how far over the center line an individual or group might be. this 'billionaire boys club' spoof got the lefties...hook, line and sinker...

[palsaradise]

Look at all these candy ass, disorganized chumps.

I'm all about people gathering to voice their collective opinion on taxes and responsible spending. It needs to happen.

But, this is a mish-mash of Libertarians, xenophobic Palin-heads, and racist middle class white people who haven't voted for their own economic interests in 30 years and have become crusaders for the rich assholes that fuck us all over on a daily basis.

The Ron Paul people need to differentiate themselves from this crowd.

[rghrdrgirl]

these 'disorganized chumps' are a group that call themselves 'the billionaire boys club'. check it out right here on youtube and you'll see that this is a spoof. as far as being "responsible" goes, you might want to add that to your debate tactics and skills and not just your ideas of spending and taxes.

[hiropendragon]

Were they chanting, "Lower the minimum wage?" WTF?

[kenobius]

Scenes From The Most Important Protest In Political History... will not be shown today, instead here's this.

[brodycrider]

what the hell is your message?!

[jahne123]

The idiots chanting were obviously counter protesters. What they were shouting had absolutely nothing to do with what the Tea Parties were about.

Anyone with half a brain could recognize that.

[rghrdrgirl]

obviously not ANYONE with half a brain....as witnessed by a lot of the comments here.

[Xtopher006]

what a joke

fox news sucks troll dick

[Dogdad2]

You guys are awesome!

[Thycid]

There was one thing missing from that protest...semi-automatic weapons!

[pwntalive]

Oh noes, i can has bush tax cuts for the uber rich?

[beedogunami]

When I saw the title, I thought this might be some archival footage from the Selma marches of the 1960s, or possibly Tienanmen Square.

Nope. Just a bunch of stupid angry white people with hand-lettered signs full of spelling errors.

About as important as the size and consistency of my last bowel movement.

[owl975]

wow that really is pathetic theres like 30 people... thats what you get when you try to manufacture a grassroots movement. You get AstroTurf.

[rootbeerinacan]

This is so pathetic. Look, I am on neither side of this issue, but Republicans... shut up and wait for your turn! Maybe you can find a reasonable candidate next time and have the power to do what you want, but for now, you must wait because it's the Democrats' turn.

This is how democracy works. You talk about freedom and America, but what is happening right now is what the free world is built on: Democracy. You need to chill, and let democracy take it's course.

[rghrdrgirl]

obviously you were looking for and saw only what you wanted to see as far as tea parties went. first of all as i have mentioned here, this is a spoof video. secondly, if you would ahve paid attn and not viewed with a jaundiced eye you might have noticed that there were individuals from the entire political spectrum in attendence...that is with the except of the far left wing obamacrats....mustn't do anything to upset chairman obama....

[mjr256]

teabagger - 1) one who carries large bags of packaged tea for shipment. 2) a man that squats on top of a womens face & lowers his genitals into her mouth during sex, known as "teabagging" 3) one who has a job or talent that is low in social status 4) a person who is unaware that they have said or done something foolish, childlike, noobish, lame 5) also see "fagbag", "lamer", "noob" 6) A man that dips his scrotum & testicles into the mouth of another person (as if dipping a tea bag in hot water)

[revglenn]

those of us who have been hearing about this tea bag protest over the last few weeks and asking "what is this? a joke?" finally have our answer.

yes. that's exactly what it is. and the people telling it didn't even get the punchline right.

[rghrdrgirl]

the joke is that this video isn't even real. it is a spoof that was aired by lazy researchers. this was a mock protest that was conducted by a group that call themselves 'the billionaire boys club'. go ahead and check on youtube for the video yourself. the punchline is that so many here seem to believe anything negative that is over the line of center in favor of the right...no matter how far, moderate or extreme, the position might be. the new(old) liberal way....now chicago style!!!

[revglenn]

well ACTUALLY the "billionaire boys club" would be small counter-protest that is seen near the end mocking the inane joke that all the other people with their silly signs regarding socialism, anti-obamaism and other vapid issues that the right seem to be into these days. i wasn't talking about the goofs in the tuxes. if they want to make the left wing look as silly as the right, well, i've said plenty about that elsewhere.

but that doesn't change the fact: the "teabag party" thing was D U M B.

[nsalyers66]

Civil Rights? Nope. Universal Suffrage? Nope. World Peace? Nope. Nuclear Disarmament? Nope.

A bunch of people with some teabags? Yeah, totally politically important.

[rghrdrgirl]

Totally politically important? HELL YES! As soon as the govt comes in and either lays you off, regulates your pay, controls how much you can make on investments and then taxes the heck out of what's left just so that they can give it away to others, then you'll think that it is pretty important as well. I maybe seem cynical, but wasn't the original tea party abt taxation as well? Now instead of no representation, we have incompetent representation...not much better and maybe actually worse...

[pieerrrree]

You do understand that your country's economy would immediately collapse if the mints stopped printing money, right?

[BruceCMcD]

Looks like some had a hyperbole attack. I think the 500, 000+ Iraq War protesters who marched on DC to on September 24, 2005 would beg to differ. All I see is a couple dozen soggy whining white people milling about.

[prplhayes06]

There were over 2.7 million protesters across the nation. Makes the protests against Iraq look like peanuts.

[monkeyfelo]

There were 27 million protesters in DC alone!

[CryptoMystic2]

more like 27.

[moali68]

50 million showed up but most never made it outside once they saw it was raining. =(

Lame movement, most of these will be receiving a tax break under Obama's new plan, some are just out as spectators and are just protesting random shit, you can tell by the different billboards they are holding up. Also there is no plan of action!?! Ok lets hold a rally, "how much further have we taken our movement?" No where really.

[zerojayzero]

Yes, just goes to show that Americans care far more about money than people's lives.

[eerieyellowlights]

Yes, because sadly, america will always care more about money than human life.

[rghrdrgirl]

How long will lefties continue to believe that everything they see is what it is purported to be? This isn't a real Tea Party,it is a spoof perpetrated by a left group called 'The Billionaire Boys Club'. Is this the new liberal movement...believe everything that is conveyed as negative as long as it is anywhere close to the right of center? Look right here on youtube for 'The Billionaire Boys Club Celebrate Their Tax Break On Tax Day'...look familiar? This isn't a case of me of your lyin eyes...

[owchywawa]

LOL
