You read major daily newspapers? That's called a liberal feedback loop! Normal people don't fly into a rage like leftist (just read the posts below from lefty types and you'll see what I mean.) They are intellectually dishonest people, although it is a stretch to say their thoughts have much intellect attached to them. Generally the leftists are either fools or liars and sometimes both.
Why did the teabaggers wait until healthcare reform to come out of the closet? Most people can't afford health insurance let alone major surgery. 100' of thousands go bankrupt b/c they can't pay their medical bills, thousands more die for lack of affordable healthcare. Then here comes a bunch of selfish fucks sayin' I'm healthy, you're not, them's the breaks. Tough luck.
The Tea Parties only work when Fox News is there, which means they are not grassroots, or of the people. They are manufactured by a corporation which claims to report news that it actually creates itself. Then it lies, yes LIES (look it up, it's a fact) about real news to confuse the poor, helpless American's who believe that they are "Fair and Balanced."
It's sad and disgusting. Lucky for them we still have freedom of speech, because anywhere else, they would be tried for treason.
I think that man just lost his credibility after D.C.'s march. I would like to ask him if he thinks there was a plan following the initial tea party in 1773. Or, did it serve merely as a warning aimed at the government to back off? Could these tea parties be a warning as well? I believe they are a BIG warning sign if history repeats itself.
OBAMA GOING TO TRIAL ON HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE !!!. Trial is scheduled in January 2010 - Regan Federal Court Building, Federal Judge Carter, Santa Ana, CA.
YIPPPEEE ---- Time to watch our Justice System in true action and our Constitutional rights upheld against Communism.
The immigration rallies drew a lot because there are a lot of chiselers who know they might lose their place on Easy St.
There is rage, but we're smart enough to know you don't get anywhere burning cop cars
I went to a Tea Party planning meeting tonight, and there are a lot of us still involved, passionately so.
We were along the freeway on our July 4th Party, and a large % of the passing motorists honked, waved, gave a thumbs up. A lot might not be taking to the streets but they'll vote!
The tea parties are not about taxes or tea. The momentum is building. The media is biased and does not report the new. It makes the news. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Wolcott is dead right about the gross disorganization of the Tea Party, the ad hoc nature of the protests and the abysmal turnouts in most sites. While the right wing media made a concerted effort to advertise and subsidize these woozy free for alls, the results were either remarkably feeble or transparently in the fat pocket of the increasingly desparate Fox News propaganda department. Moreover, it served no one better than Ron Paul, so routinely abused by Fox during the primaries.
I assume the only opinions that matter are the ones on Fox. No matter which side of the issue you are on listen to different opinions and make up your own mind
It explains that he's a pretentious ass. I need knew years ago when he wasn't a pretentious ass, but a funny, intelligent guy. He's turned into...something...I don't know but I feel sad for him. He's creepy.
This thing those entrenched and invested in the current status quo does not get it that for every person at a tea Party rally there are 5 sitting at their desk at work thinking the same thing. In the 1760 people were talking in taverns, not in the streets. In the 1850s, people were hiding in the shadows. In the 1900s and the 1950s there were no marches of hundreds, let alone thousands. Then, one day, boom. The streets were filled with those who oppossed opression.
This fat, bald cunt, ANYTIME WE THE PEOPLE SPEAK AND DEMAND SOMETHING THE STUPID FUCKERS WE SENT TO WASHINGTON BETTER CARE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! WE REALLY NEED TO START IMPEACHING MORE OFTEN THEN MORE WOULD GET DONE IF THESE CUNTS WERE AFRAID FOR THEIR JOBS! THIS MAN IS A FAT CUNT!
I tell you where we were when hack bush started all this bs. We were right here. The reason you didn't hear us is because the MSM and lefties were so busy burning up the airwaves with THEIR OWN bush hating crap that we never had a chance to state that we were PISSED TOO! Now that the second coming is in and MSM is all peaches and cream, we can FINALLY get heard........
It's the BEGINNING of a movement, Wolcott. The reason why there wasn't a turn out like the 60s movement, is because the majority of the Americans that support the Tea Parties actually WORK, unlike the hippies did during the Vietnam era.
Now, July 4th, when every American will be off work, you will see a march on Washington reminiscent of your doping days. Remember, this is just a start. By the time the congressional elections roll around in 2010, over half the country will be protesting!
I'm comparing it to the hippie movement that had over half a million in one city (in reference to Wolcott in this vid).
Don't get me wrong, the tea party numbers were impressive, but to the libs it was a joke, because there weren't millions of people protesting. Although, behind closed doors they know this was nothing to sneeze at.
But I'd like to give them a real shitburger to eat, and march on D.C. with a million strong!

yeah, hundreds of thousands at those pro illeagal rallies, and nothing got done. people don't want illegals!! people in washington are getting nervous. the nation's mood is changing. i went to the rally in cincinnati, over 5,000 attended that one. for such a pro obama media driven culture, that's... huge. this guy is an obama supporter. he has no right saying we don't matter. and vanity fair... yeah that's a responsible non-biased magazine.

I stumbled upon this video, i dont really care, that guy looks like a modern benjiman franklin, who cares if I cant spell, anyone who corrects me, I commend you.
to Hell with the tea parties that's just news for the disinformation machines we call the news media. BLOOD in the streets! our blood and theirs. we will only get out of this by taking it forcefully like we did over 200 years ago. Now the very same power mongers are in control and running roughshod on us!
DON"T PAY ANY TAXES AT ALL. we will end up fighting in the streets for our freedom from these oppressors, thieves and power mongers! Fuck the Tea Party. It's time for a Real bloody revolt!
What a pathetic and miserable little man. Estimates are between 500k-750k people showed up at over 700 locations in one day, and Jeremy refuses to recognize this. Evidence shown right to his face, and he refuses to change his view.
That's alright James. It doesn't look like any of the so called experts know anything either. It doesn't seem to keep them from mouthing off. The emperor has no cloths. It takes a common man to point these things out.

Yeah, these people aren't organized because they are generally out working two jobs to pay the outrageous tax rates. They are making a statement. Come on, the 'million man march'?? Really. Get a head count on that? The end result of this mess is the current administrations dream of having TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE!! Soon you won't be able to get anything you need without the government being involved. The only growth in this country is Gov't jobs. And new green laws to make it worse..
dizzy, you ignorant slut. These are not Republican events. Search YouTube using the phrase "Barrett booed." You will find video of a Republican congressman who voted for TARP attempting to give a speech at a tea party. He was booed off the stage.
The, Google "washington post deficit graph." It's the first item that comes up. You will then see what the problem is, and what the protests are about.
These stupid, astroturf klan/tea bag rallies are the best Republitards can come up with cause they're led by Joe the tax-cheat, welfare queen and unlicensed plumber and Sarah "I get my history and science lessons from The Flintstones" Palin.
Due to premature fatty occlusion of the arteries and liver, the intellectual prostitute Woolcott is a self-correcting problem. Suicide by crab puffs and fine wines.

They have no children. Just as well. If they did, then like the ancient Greek god Cronos, he would no doubt eat them.
There were over 5000 people at the Texas State Capital and over 2000 at the Austin City Hall. I was at both and I saw it myself. The numbers came from police estimates of the crowd which is the most accurate way to get a number.

Thank you for your reply. I still feel that when government is in the mortgage business and in my experience with GI loans the people and the property had to come to a standard before the loan could be granted. It was easier for me to obtain a loan through regular channels. Some how the Government relaxed the rules and I think this is what coused the problems.
Banks are always selling mortgages. Foreign banks picked up bad paper they though was good.
I'm all for "Give A Redneck Something To Do" days like this and not just because I live near a firing range and appreciated a day of quiet. It gave Uncle Sam a great opportunity to "get acquainted" with a lotta new folks who had gone unnoticed the previous eight years.

Maybe I'm crazy for being nostalgic for a time 200 years before I was born, but I miss the good old days when a tea party was when you sat around drinking tea and talking about the weather with your ladies friends.
Lie # 10: Unless the protests follow the exact paradigm of their namesake Boston Tea Party of 1773, to the last detail, then the protests are illegitimate and must be ignored.
The modern protests are probably much less planned than the original.
In 1773, the ships had to have been cased, and selected. A bunch of men dressed in Indian costumes swarmed onto the ships at night, dumped the tea, and made their getaway. Multiple felonies. You seriously think that was not planned in detail?
Ok there are no protests because the Big Media says there are no protests. These nonexistant protesters are all right wing retards. It wasnt a real protest because they didnt run amuk throw fire bombs and loot the local stores. "Am I getting the spin right you dimbulb?" "It must be true cause we all say so"-according to the koolaid drinking banderlog Banderlogbecause we all say
The Boston Tea Party had nothing to do with excessive spending. It had to do with taxation without representation from foreigners taxing imports. And it was a united, spontaneous revolt...not a planned, partisan "movement".
China's taxing our imports because they're imposing protectionist policies against us. We have a case. :o)
btw, stimulus can't work until we get rid of that trade deficit. So your overrated messiah just threw away $7 trillion in 3 months unless he takes it up with the WTO.
7. There were deficits during the Bush administration, so nobody has a right to protest these utterly unprecedented, triple-sized, super-giant ones now.
8. The costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are not included in the Federal Deficit figures for 2001-20008.
9. People were paid to participate.
Lies.
The same damned dishonest talking points, over and over. Repeated inside a left-wing echo chamber until the sheep believe these are just things 'everybody knows.'
Calling them 'tax protests' is a misnomer. They are anti-giant-deficit protests as much as anything - the taxes on our childen and grandchildren. Same talking points get repeated by all the lefties:
1. The protests are 'astroturf,' not grassroot.
2. Participants are all right wing.
3. They're called 'teabag' parties, not tea parties.
4. They involve racial prejudice.
5. Holding them on public property is hypocritical.

Well I guess he got caught lying his ass off.
Let me guess, this guy is a liberal ass clown who loves big government. We dig ourselves out of this hole by government becoming less burdensome on the people, which means shrinking in size and costs. Lets spend our way to prosperity like Zimbabwe. Mugabe might as well have been elected president of the US

Since your comment was buried by the head-up-their-asses lefties, I will repeat it for you.
I was at a public park..... that the organizers rented, with money they made fron donations. IT was patrolled by police officers.... that the organizers hired, using those same donations. Scared? Only by pinheads like you who don't know what greatness is being lost by the clowns in Washington.
What a maroon. I was at a tea party with more than 7000 people. No cameras, and no one cared. We're not here to try to please the liberal media, we're here to try to fix the country.
Were you at a public park? Patrolled by public officers? all paid by tax payers. Hypocrasy at its worse. where were you when Bush ran a deficit on a war. Were was your concern for your children paying back money then? Pathetic. No More taxes. pathetic. Is that all you have? by the way the banks are talking about paying back the bailout. Obama might pull it off. Scared?!!
Yeah, between Federal, State, and Local taxes, about 50% of what I earn goes to the goevernment. The top1% of earners pay 39% of the taxes. The top 25% of wage earners pay 86% of the taxes. Those who make as much as you pay next to nothing in taxes. How is that fair? Why don't you pay YOUR fair share? as a percentage or your income and in actual dollars, you do NOT pay your fair share of what you use. According to Joe Biden, that means you're NOT patriotic...
The top 1% only pay that much because of the Bush tax cuts. Where was the blame then. Also are you aware that it was the first time in history that we went to war and cuts taxes. Actually it was a war in which Bush and his cronies profited. Where is the anger there. Dont worry honey we pay our fair share in taxes. And like Jimmy Buffet, I dont mind. It means im doimg okay and I am not greedy. ....
No, you're not understanding what I said, moron. The top 1% pay over 39% of what the government takes in every year. The top 25% pay over 86% of what the government takes in every year. That includeds the top 1%, dolt. Bush cut taxes on EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN WHO PAID TAXES!!!! I think I'm wasting my time. You're not understanding basic stuff here. That means 75% of the people only paid 16% of the taxes the Federal Government received...

This guy doesn't get it. Had the Government stayed out of the Real Estate Mortgage business we world not have this problem. Fanny and Freddy are Government Gurantees to pay on defaulted loans. and they have 90% of the defaulted loans.
These risky loans are spread throughout the world - Not just in the United States. The truly problematic loans - The so called liar loans were originated by LPOs and then sold to large investors. We cannot blame Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac for the Negative Amortization loans either. They were thought up by Mortgage Companies in Orange County, California. These loans were sold on the Secondary Loan Market as part of collateralized debt obligations. Independent of Fannie or Freddie.
Hey Republican cocksuckers, does this sound familiar: America, love it or leave it. I want you lying, stupid, corrupt, treasonous(ahem Rick Perry) racist, self-loathing closet-gays to get the fuck out of my U.S.A.

James Wolcott has no idea what he is talking about. He's just one of those socialist liberals like most of America is becoming. By the way, I'll bet usadrons never paid one cent of income tax in his entire pitiful life.
It is amazing to me how stupid a bunch of you folks are. The protests were primarily about the massive spending of the federal government. Do you even have any tiny bit of a comprehension of how much money a trillion dollars is? If you can do simple math (which I doubt) Try spending $100,000,000 (that's one hundred million dollars) every day and see how many years it would take to spend a trillion dollars. By the way, a trillion is 1 followed by twelve zeros.
This is Rob. Rob roundhouse kicked Bob because he sucked. Rob believes in being baddass and going out in a blaze of glory. If you want to be more like Rob paste this on every video you see
The Boston Tea Party wasn't just a bunch of dumb fucks with signs saying "bad government". They actually DID something. They threw tea that wasn't theirs into the waters and refused to pay the tariff on it entering the colonies.
I hope you're missing the point. The question is what happened BEFORE the Boston Tea Party. What were the colonists doing when they were considered just "dumb fucks with signs saying 'bad government'." Let us hope that these modern Tea Parties are the baby steps that will lead to our revolution. If not, then we're stuck being passed back and forth between Dem's and Repub's like a cheap whore.
One of the best ways to get some credibility and lead our Tea Party Movement to success is to tell the GOP leaders (Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, etc...) and FoxNews to stay away from our Tea Party and NOT try to capitalize on our movement. ´Cause the GOP and FoxNews are NOT different from the Democratic Party and liberal media that are continuing the failed economic policies of Bush and his conservative allies in Congress.
This whole tea party thing is just a bunch of ignorant, bible thumping racist conservatives. Who Cares? Obama won the election - These idiots don;t deserve the attention they are getting. Send them back to their trailer parks where they can continue to inbreed as they always have!!!
Republicans are a bunch of ignorant malcontents, who can be worked into a frenzy about anything. They simply can't live with the reality that they lost the election so badly. Their desperation has lead them to look increasingly insane. Their divorce from reality and retreat into the political netherland of subjective hate and fear, runs counter to the direction of the conciousness of our country. These Palinesque optics will lead them to a major defeat in 2010 and 2012. Life is beautiful.
Funny....I seem to remember how the democrats whined when President Bush was elected. Wait...it was not just whining...it was MAD, ANGREY and, and, oh yeah...MALCONTENT!
It is just that Republicans do not think that they need to be babied by the government. THAT is why they protest.
I guess you...being a Democrat...feel that the government is smarter than you are and thus is entitled to your money. Fine....but I think that is the definition of IGNORANT.
So, instead of being babied, you'd rather be controlled and monitored by our government and sent off to war if needed. Hmm. Doesn't sound like being babied at all. And if you're still under the illusion that Republican and Democratic party means a damn thing and that they're somehow different, you sir, are confused.
The Red states with the exception of Texas (almost went blue) pay in less federal taxes than they recieve. The blue states pay in more than they recieve. If you don't want to be "babied" then stop using and participating in any and all government programs. You don't need to protest to to stop participating. No medicaid, no social security, no federal highyways, and no military protection.
Half the population doesn't agree with medicaid or social security? That is BS. If half the population were against MC and SS at least one politician would be calling for it to stop. Name one politician that is calling for the abolishment of medicaid and social security. If they came out against these programs they would be serving their last term. You my friend do have the right to protest whatever you'd like, that doesn't make your ideas intelligent, informed or valid.
It is not immoral or unintelligent to oppose social security. What is happening to it's promise, after all? We pay into it all our lives (I am 45yrs old) and what can we expect when we retire? It is a pyramid scheme and has been raided by the government at that! How about giving the people who realize what is going on a chance to get out and plan for their own futures, while still allowing those that want to, to stay in?
It is a good thing they didn't allow Bush to put everyones ss money into the stock market like he wanted to in 2005. If we would have done that , we would have lost 80% of it in the recent market crash. I don't see any reason that people who want out shouldn't be given their money and have ss withholding from their income stopped.
EVFCobs...good point! it is frustrating to think that the FED is taxing our money for a system that is expected to not be around when the rest of us retire.
ushadrons...good point. People who want out should be allowed to opt out.
You're right...half the population doesn't agree with medicaid or ss was an exaggeration...that wasn't the point.
The POINT was that those who don't agree with it can not opt out. They are still taxed for it whether they agree with it or not.
And still...the reason for the FEDERAL government is NOT to take from the rich and give to the poor (even if you think it is) but for the collective protection of the 50 states from those who might want to attack us. Tax for military....nothing else
These protestors are protesting taxes they don't have. Many claim they don't pay taxes, while others claim they are going to stop paying taxes. These events were held in public places and parks paid for by tax dollars, with permits issued by local goverments, who are forced to employ their Police and Fire/Rescue units to ensure order and safety.
They claim they are protesting wasteful spending while they buy and waste millions of tea bags that have to be picked up by local sanitation workers.
Delnobel - It looks like you may have been home schooled. "ANGREY" isn't a word. Did you mean angry? You have just equated Democrats with Rebels. And you have also associated Rebels with being Whiney. You must be Mad! As in crazy. Hahahahahaha!!!!!
Wolcott said that he gets 4 newspapers in NewYorkand the tea parties did not make the news. HEEELLLOO! The newspapers in NewYork are LIBERAL. Of COURSE they arent going to report on news they dont like. This Wolcott guy needs to get out of his little New York bubble. News Flashlife in the United States does NOT revolve around NY. Surprise!

He said and I quote this is not going to strike fear in anybody. HEEELLLOO! Who said these tea parties were suppose to strike fear? These were simply to voice their opinions. They want to be HEARD! And then to have the CNN reporter and this idiot James Wolcott basically discount them is just want the government is doing. Were not listeningwere not listening
And this came from Alaska folks! Anchorage is a city from the state! Alaska is definitely a Republican state, so I don't exactly see how "those liberals" have anything to do with their government.
Now do I like taxes? No, of course not. But... maybe that is just what life is. What's next, a revolt against government in general? Crazy...

It should come as no surprise that the ideological mental midgets on the left can't wrap their brains around the idea that people don't want their earnings taken from them. This is America, the land of individuality and personal freedom/responsibility. As Americans, we have the right to not be part of the Democrats collectivist utopia and be forced to take part in it by handing over money that is the fruit of our own labor.

you cannot deny the success of the tea parties. You can call me any name you want but this was an American phenomena.
It had no leadership, no cohesive structure - normal, working Americans took to the streets many for the first time..
The leftist commie union leadership organized those illegal immigration marhces. Illegal orgs like la raza -- the underbelly of America brought our from under a rock .............
I like how the conservatives think everyone shares their grievances...like the majority of american citizens are angy and outraged...lol...Obama has a 70% approval rating...some rage and anger out there...lol
dude your an ignorant idiot...the total of ppl for the tea party over the ENTIRE COUNTRY was 200,000 ppl. The immigration rally had 300,000 ppl in just ONE CITY.

EVERYONE, needs to stop paying taxes, period. IF EVERYONE DOES IT, then they can not contest the will of the U.S. citizens. They can not arrest the whole nation. If only a few follow through with it, then it won't work. Stop being afraid of those who are supposed to be afraid of us. WE THE PEOPLE.. STOP PAYING TAXES... and if you are a merchant, stop taxing your community. Someone needs to organize this and do it now. Stop paying the people who are forcing us to give up our rights. Stop paying
Your an idiot. Yeah...lets stop funding the country...everyone for themselves!!!!...I'll barricade myself in my house with all my guns...I should be fine.
This retard is spinning the truth so hard to fit his own delusional universe. What an out-of-touch assclown. Carrying Obama's water and fat and stupid is no way to go through life son.
Wow, I knew he was a silly liberal, but I had no idea how creepy Mr. Wolcott looked. Well here's a newsflash, creepy dude. We care about our country, and are seriously unhappy about the way the government is wasting our grandchildren's money.
To be honest though, I have to admit that I'm sad that Mr. Wolcott suffers from retardation :(.
Don't make me laugh. We all have to pay taxes, what is the big deal. Instead of crying about the new direction of the us government, how about come up with some alternativ ideas. I can't remember any "tea party" under Bush, but he who wants to remember the good old days?
Heres an alternative. tell me what you think: Obamas deficit for 2009 will be 1.75 Trillion, borrowed mostly from Chian to finace work , not jobs, in the public sector, ie: road projects. Once the work is finished, there is no more. So, its not created jobs, therefore doesnt stimulate anything but short term work and long term debt.
Why dont we drop all federal taxes for one year, which will allow Americans to keep and spend 1 trillion dollars on stuff,will that stimulate the job market?
Read the Constitution. Our nation hse drifted away, far away from the founding principles. We are drifting toward tyranny.
We are opposing unchecked spending, statism and the corruption in DC. If you can't see that your either stupid or a far left ideologue which is the same thing.
There were 12,5000 of us in NY City last night. That is astonishing. Right in the belly of the beast.
Wolcott is the Moron who cheered on Katrina if I'm not mistaken. Why are Liberals such idiots most of the time?
I think its pretty powerful to get this many people together with out an organization... I think that tells alot about how fed up people are. The tea partys also took place on a Wednesday when people most affected or concerned had to work and even so many people showed up. Good work America! This is why this country is so great. 1st ammendment baby!
Leftist logic: If an issue isn't covered by the lefist newspapers and tv stations then it doesn't matter. All the other sane people are thinking: "Holy crap. Our news media has been hijacked by leftist ideologues. This is terrorfying and un-American."
Lunatic fringe blah-ger Michelle Maglalang Malkin linked to this in hopes of ridiculing Wolcott, and in the process, has beclowned her-stupid-self once again, Wolcott is on point, as usual.
And here, folks, is an example of how the liberal mind thinks and reacts to one of his kind being embarrassed. Note the open hostility and racism towards the messenger but at the same time, it offers no counter argument. The liberal will then be lifted by the huffing of his own kind, helping to inflate its limp self esteem.
And here, folks, is an example of how the wingnut mind reacts to one of its kind (MMM) embarrassing herself -- again. Note the hypocritical charge of racism (no probs with MMM calling the president "Barry" or teabaggers' mocking use of "Hussein" or "BHO," you betcha). The wingnut will then be lifted by the indignant cries of paranoia and phony outrage by its own kind, ultimately hopeless to engorge its limp penis even when it buys a new assault weapon at the gun show.
Who teh Fug reads Vanity Fair? This liberal buffoon hasn't a clue what he's talking about. Somebody at VF must have owed someone a huge favor to hire and keep this turd on the payroll LOL !!!
It's not just about taxes, dude. It's about Bailouts for people who don't deserve it. It's about adding TEN TRILLION DOLLARS TO THE NATIONAL DEBT!!! It's about taking money from those that produce and giving it to those who don't make that much money. It's about saddlin
What a tool.

They are manufactured by a corporation which claims to report news that it actually creates itself. Then it lies, yes LIES (look it up, it's a fact) about real news to confuse the poor, helpless American's who believe that they are "Fair and Balanced."
It's sad and disgusting. Lucky for them we still have freedom of speech, because anywhere else, they would be tried for treason.

I think that man just lost his credibility after D.C.'s march. I would like to ask him if he thinks there was a plan following the initial tea party in 1773. Or, did it serve merely as a warning aimed at the government to back off? Could these tea parties be a warning as well? I believe they are a BIG warning sign if history repeats itself.

Wolcott is dead right about the gross disorganization of the Tea Party, the ad hoc nature of the protests and the abysmal turnouts in most sites. While the right wing media made a concerted effort to advertise and subsidize these woozy free for alls, the results were either remarkably feeble or transparently in the fat pocket of the increasingly desparate Fox News propaganda department. Moreover, it served no one better than Ron Paul, so routinely abused by Fox during the primaries.

It's the BEGINNING of a movement, Wolcott. The reason why there wasn't a turn out like the 60s movement, is because the majority of the Americans that support the Tea Parties actually WORK, unlike the hippies did during the Vietnam era.
Now, July 4th, when every American will be off work, you will see a march on Washington reminiscent of your doping days. Remember, this is just a start. By the time the congressional elections roll around in 2010, over half the country will be protesting!

The modern protests are probably much less planned than the original.
In 1773, the ships had to have been cased, and selected. A bunch of men dressed in Indian costumes swarmed onto the ships at night, dumped the tea, and made their getaway. Multiple felonies. You seriously think that was not planned in detail?

It is amazing to me how stupid a bunch of you folks are. The protests were primarily about the massive spending of the federal government. Do you even have any tiny bit of a comprehension of how much money a trillion dollars is? If you can do simple math (which I doubt) Try spending $100,000,000 (that's one hundred million dollars) every day and see how many years it would take to spend a trillion dollars. By the way, a trillion is 1 followed by twelve zeros.
ConcernedForAmerica 2 years ago
A million is 1000 X 1000
A billion is 1000 X one million
a trillion is a million X a million.
one million /100 = 10,000
So your answer is 10,000 days.
10,000 days is approximately 27 years 4 months and 15 days

Half the population doesn't agree with medicaid or social security? That is BS. If half the population were against MC and SS at least one politician would be calling for it to stop.

These events were held in public places and parks paid for by tax dollars, with permits issued by local goverments, who are forced to employ their Police and Fire/Rescue units to ensure order and safety.
They claim they are protesting wasteful spending while they buy and waste millions of tea bags that have to be picked up by local sanitation workers.

Delnobel - It looks like you may have been home schooled. "ANGREY" isn't a word. Did you mean angry? You have just equated Democrats with Rebels. And you have also associated Rebels with being Whiney. You must be Mad! As in crazy. Hahahahahaha!!!!!

rattleandburn - typical liberal socialist...make fun of people instead of having an open debate.
That's why I stopped listening to liberal talk shows. All they do is make fun of others instead of debating ideas.

Whiney??? Have you NOT listened to Obama AT ALL this past year???
Whined about inheriting the economy from Bush!!
I'm sorry...Bush didn't write the laws and pass bills...all he did was sign off on the bills congress wrote and passed.
OH WAIT!!! Liberals controlled congress for most of the years Bush was in office!
mmm....interesting.
Wasn't Obama in congress the last two years of the bush administration?
mmmm...interesting.

Wolcott said that he gets 4 newspapers in NewYorkand the tea parties did not make the news. HEEELLLOO! The newspapers in NewYork are LIBERAL. Of COURSE they arent going to report on news they dont like. This Wolcott guy needs to get out of his little New York bubble. News Flashlife in the United States does NOT revolve around NY. Surprise!

And this came from Alaska folks! Anchorage is a city from the state! Alaska is definitely a Republican state, so I don't exactly see how "those liberals" have anything to do with their government.
Now do I like taxes? No, of course not. But... maybe that is just what life is. What's next, a revolt against government in general? Crazy...

It should come as no surprise that the ideological mental midgets on the left can't wrap their brains around the idea that people don't want their earnings taken from them. This is America, the land of individuality and personal freedom/responsibility. As Americans, we have the right to not be part of the Democrats collectivist utopia and be forced to take part in it by handing over money that is the fruit of our own labor.

you cannot deny the success of the tea parties. You can call me any name you want but this was an American phenomena.
It had no leadership, no cohesive structure - normal, working Americans took to the streets many for the first time..
The leftist commie union leadership organized those illegal immigration marhces. Illegal orgs like la raza -- the underbelly of America brought our from under a rock .............

EVERYONE, needs to stop paying taxes, period. IF EVERYONE DOES IT, then they can not contest the will of the U.S. citizens. They can not arrest the whole nation. If only a few follow through with it, then it won't work. Stop being afraid of those who are supposed to be afraid of us. WE THE PEOPLE.. STOP PAYING TAXES... and if you are a merchant, stop taxing your community. Someone needs to organize this and do it now. Stop paying the people who are forcing us to give up our rights. Stop paying

Wow, I knew he was a silly liberal, but I had no idea how creepy Mr. Wolcott looked. Well here's a newsflash, creepy dude. We care about our country, and are seriously unhappy about the way the government is wasting our grandchildren's money.
To be honest though, I have to admit that I'm sad that Mr. Wolcott suffers from retardation :(.

Yeah the revolution is on it's way.
Don't make me laugh. We all have to pay taxes, what is the big deal. Instead of crying about the new direction of the us government, how about come up with some alternativ ideas. I can't remember any "tea party" under Bush, but he who wants to remember the good old days?
bustel86 2 years ago
Heres an alternative. tell me what you think: Obamas deficit for 2009 will be 1.75 Trillion, borrowed mostly from Chian to finace work , not jobs, in the public sector, ie: road projects. Once the work is finished, there is no more. So, its not created jobs, therefore doesnt stimulate anything but short term work and long term debt.
Why dont we drop all federal taxes for one year, which will allow Americans to keep and spend 1 trillion dollars on stuff,will that stimulate the job market?

Read the Constitution. Our nation hse drifted away, far away from the founding principles. We are drifting toward tyranny.
We are opposing unchecked spending, statism and the corruption in DC. If you can't see that your either stupid or a far left ideologue which is the same thing.
There were 12,5000 of us in NY City last night. That is astonishing. Right in the belly of the beast.
Wolcott is the Moron who cheered on Katrina if I'm not mistaken. Why are Liberals such idiots most of the time?

I think its pretty powerful to get this many people together with out an organization... I think that tells alot about how fed up people are. The tea partys also took place on a Wednesday when people most affected or concerned had to work and even so many people showed up. Good work America! This is why this country is so great. 1st ammendment baby!

Leftist logic: If an issue isn't covered by the lefist newspapers and tv stations then it doesn't matter. All the other sane people are thinking: "Holy crap. Our news media has been hijacked by leftist ideologues. This is terrorfying and un-American."

And here, folks, is an example of how the liberal mind thinks and reacts to one of his kind being embarrassed. Note the open hostility and racism towards the messenger but at the same time, it offers no counter argument. The liberal will then be lifted by the huffing of his own kind, helping to inflate its limp self esteem.
Fascinating.

And here, folks, is an example of how the wingnut mind reacts to one of its kind (MMM) embarrassing herself -- again. Note the hypocritical charge of racism (no probs with MMM calling the president "Barry" or teabaggers' mocking use of "Hussein" or "BHO," you betcha). The wingnut will then be lifted by the indignant cries of paranoia and phony outrage by its own kind, ultimately hopeless to engorge its limp penis even when it buys a new assault weapon at the gun show.
Fascinating? Not really.
