Who Helped Support the Tea Parties and Town Hall Protests?

[peacenik710]

Interesting ties. It seems the term 'grassroots' is as much a lie as their preformed talking points. LIARS. Come up with your own legitimate issues instead of being pawns for the millionaire lobbyists looking to forward their unregulated, inhumane agendas!!!!

Nice job spelling "Koche". Its not like I went to Harvard or Columbia, but I did learn how to spell...

Ronald Reagan gave arms to terrorists. I didn't go to Harvard but that sounds like a traitor to me.

You also need to explain what you mean by "funded" and "organized". The people who "organized" it expected 30,000 people and didn't put speakers all the way down the mall from the Capitol building to the Washington Monument or down the streets in every direction around the capitol building. They had to shut down the highways to buses all around the beltway and people had to get on the Metro. This is much larger than some small organization you found on the interwebs.

The terms I have used are 'Promoted', 'co-sponsored', and 'helped organise'. I realise the events took on a momentum of their own, but that has something to do with the disinformation and propaganda disseminated by the far right in America! For example the agit-prop of Fox News and the misleading 'talking points' emailed to town hall protesters by Freedom Works.

TARP did happen they are trying to pass Cap and Trade, they are trying to pass Healthcare that goes beyond just helping poor people, they did bail out GM. I don't know which one of those things you think is untrue, these things aren't "disinformation and propaganda disseminated by the far right ".

[dogblessamerica]

You know as well as I do that Fox conflates these things into some sort of 'Marxist Agenda' when they are nothing of the sort. There may be the occasional grain of truth in the tearful emotional rantings of Glenn Beck, but the picture he paints is false and fearmongering.

Now, I think there is a real issue worth protesting, which was part of the tea party agenda - the government lobbyists who buy and pay for politicians. For years this has included insurance companies, which is why they are pulling out every stop to prevent reform which will force them to cut their margins.

dogblessamerica: You failed to mention that the woman at 3:21 (with that popular Obama with Hitler mustache picture) is from LaRouche Youth (which is led by Lyndon LaRouche, a seven-time candidate for the Democratic Party).

You also failed to mention that the man at 2:51 (with the rifle) is from the Faithful Word Baptist Church (which is led by Pastor Steven Anderson).

YOU are misleading the viewers of your video by omitting those facts, and you're not answering the question in your title.

[JCJ77]

Your video brings the luls. Who funded me, who sent me e-mails, who called me, what bus did I ride on? You are trying to explain individual actions that happen in unison with the old paradigm of top down protests you are used to seeing.The only thing I started with was the date 9/12, then I went and found where people were going to be. I didn't even know about the organizations until after I decided to go and I only found out about them because I wanted to know where to go.
