TPMDC Witnesses Angry Crowd Heckling Police For Arresting Tea Partiers

[Frieda18]

Yeah, where was that praise of "patriot voices" during the anti-war protests? Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people? This is nothing compared to what the anti-war protesters went up against.

[barbyyoung]

"I'm embarrassed" the woman says-you should be. Umm Martin Luther King was arrested many times. NO one yelled "Let them go"...read your history for sure. Teabaggers are pathetic.. there they go with the Nazi thing - getting old...

[strawman007]

THE TIME IS NOW!!! LOCK - N - LOAD!!!

[TheManSand322]

Americans depriving Americans of there rights.

.  This is why Americans don't really have any rights or freedom.... Give an American a pay check and they'll deprive other Americans of there rights

[LarcheOsborne]

"Let them Go?" Aren't conservatives suppose to be hard on crime?

[DrLZRDMN]

Look at this, a bicycle cop politely asking them to step back. If it had been liberals protesting there would have been a hundred cops in riot gear launching tear gas grenades and beating people up.

[cowboybill117]

Code Pink is a far left radical group. been arrested everywhere

[cowboybill117]

News flash for you, the people arrested Code Pink not any from the tea party

[jimdaa20]

lol get a job hippies

[freddymedal]

LOL Old Fuck or Young Dumb Fuck! Hippies are so fucking long LONG GONE!

[AccidentalDem]

Hippies are not even that stupid to go against the wishes of the majority of citizens. Tea baggers are.

[fishhead06]

Well, it's nice that they got their vitriol out of their system, for today anyway.

[doink1422]

if fox told these people had to give up their medicare which is government health-care they would turn on fox

[ETericET]

Sadly these were kids in the 70s that were outraged at the anti war protesters and were supporters of nixon lol. Now they suddenly see the value of protest hahahahaha

[freddymedal]

One man yells "You guys are ZERO's" as a woman says "You're Hatriots" as a guy casually calls the Police "Pelosi's Nazi's" and another woman can be heard saying "This is MY COUNTRY" Wow, I thought it was "OUR COUNTRY" but obviously they own it hence the "I want MY COUNTRY Back" comments we here all over.

[youwayeda]

Wow these are some dumb people!

[oolong2]

LOL "he's on public property..."

It's funny how those protesting soclialism are coveting socalized property.

Just like: "Get your government hands off my Medicare"...

[poop121]

this is nothing compared to how left-wing protests by non-geriatrics and non-white people are treated. they'd be shot with lrads, tased, cs gassed, shoved onto the pavement, clubbed. hopefully it will come to that, so there is a level playing field.

[freddymedal]

"I know poop" , "I worked with Poop, and Poop121, you're no poop!"

[poop121]

i am the shit though

[freddymedal]

yup

[lamouchemorte]

"they were tearing up the bill" "well big deal" Sounds like Cheney attended this teabagger event.

[lamouchemorte]

"this is America" Yeah, that's why there are so many idiots like these people.

[cat00012000]

I'd like to know how many times these very same people have encouraged the police to arrest protesters. They look like the kind of people that yell at you for walking on their grass. They have their heads so far up their butts. It really is pathetic. They're still trying to warn us about "death panels". Their idea of morality is, "I've got mine and screw you."

[inmyforties]

fox news should be put on trial for manipulating these simple minded poor old people

[ubtri]

Arrest more racists pls.

[nadreev]

Harrassing the capitol police is not patriotic. These people are fucking idiots, listening to their banter, their contradictory explanations of why these people were arrested, and their references to MLK and the civil rights movement.

Brainwashed "peasants with pitchforks", serving their fox news overlord, they can't even think of something relevant to yell on their own.

[freddymedal]

It's Hatriotic

[mgband]

Epic comment man. I agree.

[WKaliberr]

fuck off with the Tea Parties

cover some REAL shit TPM

[superiorgreen]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The First Amendment. These police HATE America and reject the US Constitution, which they swore to uphold. Is there any law greater than The US Constitution in America? Obviously there is, facism is here to stay.

[bigc028282]

There just lucky the cops didn't use the LRAD against these radicals.

HOPE in one hand, BUSH in the other.

[Smartassawhip]

Good News! AARP & the American Medical Assn as well as the American Cancer Society just announced that they're supporting the House health reform bill.

Take a moment to sign this petiton in the comment section of my profile.

Any Democratic senators including Joe Lieberman who support a Republican attempt to block a vote on health care reform should be stripped of their leadership titles. Americans deserve a clean up-or-down vote on health care reform that includes a public option.

[junkforkaryn]

"political prisoners"! "heros"! "patriots!".....and all of them needed to be handled with plastic restraints and rubber gloves.

[CivilRadiant]

fuck those cops

[freddymedal]

I agree! Get rid of all police and let the people police themselves, like Wallstreet. Hell let the gangs and drug dealers police themselves, let sex offenders police themselves. The less policing the better.

[poop121]

police are a gang. cia are drug dealers. pentagon houses some of the world's most brutal gangsters. what's really the difference?

[andid]

When the woman asked if anyone actually saw it, they all got very quiet.

[terpis]

Lotta grey hair and middle-age spread out there in cuckoo town.

Grouchy dinosaurs.

[joshpnw]

Get your facts straight TMP... these were the fringe idiots (pro-lifers) that attempted to storm Pelosi's office... along side the code pink loons.

[1samothrace77]

the police brought all of that on themselves. they should have just put them in the van and sorted it out at the police station.

[MexicanMetlAC]

They are arresting people for protesting?

-Most likely it's trespassing. It's funny how they are complaining about the arrest of these people but would most likely cheer the arrest of anti-war protesters or any other "Liberal" protester. These kinds of arrests always happen during any kind of protest. It's nothing new and these protesters should not feel like they are being singled out.

[Painkill3r4]

These are the same losers who sat by and said nothing while George W. bankrupted the country. Bunch of whining rednecks.

[zndprophet]

and they probably cheered when anti-war protesters got their ass beat by police cuz they were "thugs" and teabaggers are "real americans"

im listening to this while im typing, and you just hear so much WHINING, you're right.

bigger hypocrites have never existed.

[drknprts]

@Painkill3r4 Bush bankrupted country? He didn't help but every president since Kennedy has played a role in stealing taxpayer dollars, particularly Reagan and Obama...

[LeGioNoFZioN]

where is the anger ? kind of misleading TPM, I've seen angrier protests on the streets of Toronto

[KataVideo]

teabaggers hate police as much as they hate America

[LeGioNoFZioN]

but not as much as those code pink freaks. Those fuckers hate america and the police more than they hate capitalism. Penn & Teller cut those pinko commie bastards down a notch or two with reason.

[KataVideo]

wow, you should get more political and ethical advice from magicians and mimes

[LeGioNoFZioN]

they were right about the vatican and that 2012 end of world crap, but you have a point they aren't exactly credible. then again, they are about as credible as listening to Olbermann, Hannity or Maddow so I guess I'm just as informed as most of the american electorate.

[KataVideo]

you're kidding? you believe the world is ending in 2012? if it's all over anyway, step the fuck out of the way and let us have healthcare for the last two years.

[BigPurple121]

@KataVideo You have healthcare. You just have to pay for it

[LeGioNoFZioN]

no I don't that was my point. evidently it was too dull for you. I was pointing out where they are spot on right, as in that 2012 end of world crap is bullshit, as is the vatican heirarchy. if youwant universal health care move up here, or to Massachusets. I'm always amazed at Americans who tell foreigners to"go home" but aren't willing to move for the things in life they want. only slightly hypocritical.

[freddymedal]

So you think Rachel Maddow makes stuff up out of the blue? The only way the lying republicans can refute Rachel say is to call her a liar. Everybody's confused, who lies, who tells the truth. Red/Blue,Right/Left, Truth/Lies. Since there's debate on both sides, that must mean there's no truth out there. WTF is going on? Where is the "HUB of Truth" to validate what's being said so whether we like it or not, we hear the truth and deal with it.

[LeGioNoFZioN]

yes like Hannity and Olbermann, Matthews and Bill O she goes with what sounds good as opposed to being true. She ranted the other day that your constitution has no preamble, which according to your constitution there actually is. talking head of little substance. there is objective truth but you won't find it easily in America. everyone has an opinion unchanged by fact and reason. Read multiple foreign news reports to find out what your leaders won't tell you.

[joshpnw]

You have proof of that?

[KataVideo]

these teabaggers hate the police and they hate America

[joshpnw]

I heard you the first time... can you prove it?
