Asheville NC Tea Party

[oldpersonforever]

Don't take anything forgranted. Obama was given an opportunity for change. Socialism was not the change I can go along with. Look for ALL new faces in the SENATE, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES and PRESEDENCY in the VERY near future. Have a great day!

[julieyard1]

republitards get denied food stamps.

serves them right.

where's bush now?

[beingther]

im sorry i do not know what the tea patry is and how do i join democrats are tooken over by comunists and repeulbicans are for it everthing libs hate about bush is lib desitions he made i want to join the party

[Ewilds]

Ok, ok, so how many of these protestors actually supported Ron Paul in the last election? If I had to guess, I would put the number under 10%, which means that most the people who show up to these Tea Parties are just disgruntled Republicans. Of course, I would be happy to be wrong.

[jkeelsnc]

Pending approval!!? So we have another nutcase republican censoring those they don't agree with. Some small minded dumb butt filtering out what they don't want others to hear. This is exactly what is wrong with conservative, right wing dumb blocks.

[atp28722]

@jkeelsnc You mean to tell me that the man-child Obama--does not try to stifle free speech?

[jkeelsnc]

This is BS. Whoever posted about being a black person and being behind this is ridiculous. All this is is another attempt running the country into the ground.  Just like the last 8 years. Especially, to have this dumb as a block protest happening in a beautiful, liberal city like Asheville is ridiculous. You guys need to go home and keep your backward ways to yourself and leave the rest of us alone.

[xXJADEXx7]

Its facism more then socialism.

[Whatchagonado]

Did you guys have a nice cross-burning at your "tea party?"

[mstrsgt422]

its sad that the mainstream media doesn't want people to know what the tea party protest are actually for. Instead they label everyone as rednecks or racist. I am one of the many black people as well as many other ethnicities that were apart of the protest. WE ARE NOT AGAINST OBAMA. WE ARE AGAINST AN ECONOMY RUN BY THE FEDERAL GOVT.

[tristramshandy3]

the fed has been running the economy a long time- where has your outrage been?

the timing just REEKS of petty partisanship.

Also, I've been to a couple of these events and they were 98.6% WHITE and 78% OLD.

The tea party movement is a movement of predominately old, white people.

[TurkeySandwich75]

The Mercedes-Benz song is amazing

[AmethystWoman]

I am so confused by the "republican party" right now. YOUR prez BUSH spent MORE money on NOTHING than Obama could ever hope to spend. I think you are just a bunch of sore losers because you didn't scam a republican into office again like you did with the last two elections. I was IN FLORIDA in 2000. I saw it happen! I am sooo confused by you people right now. FED UP? How can you be fed up NOW? where have you been for the last 8 years? I don't get you people at all!

[sanantonio7]

Obama has spent more in his first 60+ days ,(stimulus, omnibus, energy bill and bailouts) than the rest of ALL our former presidents combined. where have YOU been? this isn't a rep or dem thing...this is an AMERICAN thing. Obama just happens to be a liberal democrat.

[tristramshandy3]

nothing to be confused about- the right is morally and intellectually bankrupt today.

Enjoy the show as they continue to shrink, self-implode, and die off.

[testing88534]

Teachers in N.C are screwed right now. The N.C government is trying to find areas to cut spending and unfortunately, education has been targeted.

[brothermikefan]

Ta Daaaaaaaah! The tea parties worked everyone! Obama's going to assemble a team to go through the budget line by line and figure out which items are worth keeping and which ones can be eliminated!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. He's been saying that since before he was innaugurated. Damn my memory is short.

[Jander4031]

We (conservatives) were against Bush wasting our tax money. Only now it's worse. The president is wasting our money and failing to support LIFE for the unborn babies. We have a problem.

[Jander4031]

We (true conservatives) did protest Bush spending money on big government waste! However we have a bigger problem now- Spending AND against life for the unborn babies. What ever happened to the pressident is supposed to support LIFE, liberty and pusuit of happiness.

[RasTmaan]

It is interesting that people were not complaining when Bush was spending billions of dollars to fight the wrong war and when companies ship jobs over seas. All they have left is Fear and racist slogan that is feed to them by the likes of Fox Network and the Racist so called Christian Right who live in a big Mansion and fly around with Private Jet. what a bunch of...

[Americaspeaks2009]

Ras, I'm not sure who you're complaining about. Nafta was signed into law by Clinton. My video is not right-left, Dem-Rep...it's a video warning about too much spending and out of control govt. I didn't mention religious issues or racism and we don't fly around in private jets. If you watch the video you'll see I demonize both presidents and parties. As for Fox...somebody has to offset NBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and others. Besides agreeing with you 100% I'm not sure what you want.

[Navythunder828]

We were against Bush and the bailouts. However Obama has increased our debt more in 4 months than Bush did in 8 years. That's a problem. Simple math applies here, you can't increase spending by the trillions, and only raise taxes on 5% of Americans like Obama promised.

[yanikv]

All of the anti-socialists here, if they are honest, should reject themselves the receiving of social security, or employee health benefits that are made possible by govt subsidies.

They are as full of shit as our legislators.

[giventake101]

Not sure of your backgroud, but you just don't get it. Liberty by definition means having a choice. We are looseing our liberties.

[TurkeySandwich75]

Social security is not what the stimulus bill is about. Social security is rewarding aged Americans for their contributions to the nation during youth, so that they can continue to live happily. The stimulus bill, on the other hand, is throwing free money at people who don't know how to spend it and stealing money from people who, god forbid, actually WORK for a living.

[CarolinaNIM]

Asheville, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wlimingoton: NC Tea Parties Rock! Check out our Raleigh video.

[fieroyates]

Conservatives just love the taste of fresh teabags.

[giventake101]

Liberals just love the taste of fresh Kool-Aid.

[tristramshandy3]

And conservatives love to bend over a little further for their corporate masters.

[baronmorris]

blahblahblah. where was this protest when Bush was in office? yet another instance where the wealthiest Americans and big corporations, for whom taxes have actually gone up, have stirred unrest among the other 98% of us, for whom taxes have NOT gone up (but down), on their behalf.

Viva Obama!

[giventake101]

How much have your taxes gone down?

[lonelyshag]

Everyone in Congress must go ! We must have the fair Tax ! We must have more Tea Parties ! We must take action against Corruption !!

[giventake101]

Rock On!

[lexrex3]

The man at 3:25 in the video says his grandfather fought in the Battle of the Buldge for freedom and now we have Socialism and monterous govt. spending out of control. It kind of makes me wonder what did they die for.

It's a sad day for America unles we inform the electorate what our country was founded on and what America once stood for . Get rid of Big Government if that is at all possible with so many people dependant on it for everything. Lady Liberty is crying.

[brvandal]

this video is the only video that i have seen that blames both the dems and republicans. WELL DONE. neither side is more responsible than the other.

[sunhills8]

GIVE ME LIBERTY NOT A BAILOUT

[007380]

This all started when Richard Nixon done away with the gold backed dollar. GW Bush and Obama will go down as the two worst presidents in history. Sad.....

[macdogq]

Bush, Obama, and the congresses of both party has turned their back on us.

for their elite, and for the one world social governments. Lets Unite now!!

[VONBLUVENS100]

Please heed the warnings that there will in fact be a concerted effort to infiltrate and hijack these tea party rallies. Take a bit of advice and please implement some form of security to insure the integrity of these rallies.

Please, dont learn the hard way—your opponents play for keeps.

A word to the wise is sufficient.

[pemmywellshcorgii]

I will be at the tea party!! First time going! My grandfather and I are going. We are standing up and we can't be silenced!

[mollypierucci]

OMG you guys LOST- get over it and stop whining!

[bold4eagle]

Don't act like Obama bowling... these people are from all parties and views of government.

[sxsinv]

I am on a mission to post a video of every city that has a tea party.

Most people here in Terre haute knows nothing about tea parties.

I have lost count of all the video's that I have posted.

If you have a video of a tea party please send me an email to compsafeweb yahoo com with your video link.

Good video's will be posted at TOM-MILNER COM.

Please include City, State and date of protest.

[caneshockeybbc]

Great video and message. Thank you!!

Don't forget to send a tea bag to obama on April 1st and to attend a Tea Party on April 15 in a city near you (there are over 115 scheduled now and more being added daily)

[webxsuccess]

I went to the KC Tea Party and wore my "Where's MY Bailout?!" t-shirt that I bought at WallStreetMarketNews(DOT)com!

I just ordered their "Rick Santelli 2012" t-shirt it's a limited edition!

Can't wait for the next Tea Party!

Nice video --- see the video I just posted about the Ft Worth Tea Party-- watch to the end--- the police had to come.

[1Thrufire]

Nice lead in story. Great content. 1st soundbite is great.

Suggestions for next time:

- Shorten lead-in anim/story. 30 secs is better. Respect viewer's time. Use fewer transition styles. - Use separate shotgun mic (with wind shield) so audio captures are cleaner w/ less ambient noise.

- Remove background distractions w/ umbrellas or barriers

- Turn speakers to get catchlights in eyes (see photography tips)

- Shoot b-roll and perform L-cuts with some speakers

Good effort tho' - thanks!

[54native]

Fantastic video! Right on the money!

[ThunderPigBlog]

Good job on the video!!!

This is the best produced video I have seen come out of Asheville.

I hope you make many, many more videos!!!
