Tea Party protest held in Charleston WV April 15, 2009

Anybody That Believes Fox New is "Trusted" or Fair and not Bias do me a Favor and Kick your Own Ass. They Censored Ron Paul and tried to keep him off the Air When he was a Candidate in 2008. Fox news is paid to say what they say and they are a complete Joke....... That is All

[keereekee]

No doubt WV is a rich source of uneducated, bigoted and easily manipulated americans for the RNC and Fox news to exploit. Bunch of racist hicks waving misspelled signs. HAHA!

[DanchElmore]

@keereekee your Ignorant because Some old people may be crazy ass Racist in West Virginia but for The Most part we are Cool and Tolerant People Besides there is racism in every state... the problem is we need to get our younger people out to vote and everyone knows fox news isn't Legit are you kidding yourself? your appear to be just another Puppet i think

[keereekee]

@DanchElmore

In the first place, when you are going to accuse someone of ignorance make sure you use the correct form of "your". In this case use you're - the contraction of you are. Also, why do you randomly capitalize? Odd.

State stats on education support some of my statement. WV consistently rates very low for education (-4% - with grade 4 math).

Fox news is the most trusted cable news, unfortunately...so many do consider it legit.

I'm afraid you are simply wrong on most accounts.

[DanchElmore]

@keereekee I am not writing a Novel nobody cares that i used to word "your " instead of "you're" as in you're a Sheep. I am Glad you are Keen enough to Google Inaccurate percentages without even knowing the reliability of the source and relaying them back to me in a Comment Post. The Message you just sent Confirms your Ignorance of Having any type of Logical Thought Process. I Live in West Virginia so I Think I know more than you about my Own State or Maybe you and your One Subscriber Disagree

[keereekee]

@DanchElmore

You just sound a bit ignorant is all. If my stats are inaccurate then supply correct ones. Maybe Im wrong and WV is a the intellectual center of the western world. Bwahahah. Good to see you are using your big boy words correctly now.

Just living in a state doesnt make you an expert (it quite possibly makes you biased) or maybe you and your one tooth disagree?

[DanchElmore]

@keereekee I never Said I was an Expert but I know More about my State than some scumbag Sheep making Stereotypical comments that a five year old would make. Your One tooth remark also displays what an Ignorant waste you are considering I happen to have all my teeth and Graduated with Honors from a Military Academy how about you? You can't think for yourself and Think what your told to think and your trying to Critique me and where i am from? Your a Joke and a feeble Minded Stooge

[keereekee]

@DanchElmore

So "having all your teeth" is something you mountain folk brag about, huh? Probably a bullet point on your resume too - under exceptional qualities. HAHA - only in West Virginie.

Come on Pappie, lighten up. I'm just having me some fun....

[DanchElmore]

@keereekee Bullet Point ? you are the one that referenced a stereotype i was just disproving the Comment..are you intentionally trying to fuck with me or do you really believe all that crap your saying is true that's what i want to know ? I just think stereotypes are stupid and they get old because you hear the same crap over and over and after a while you wonder if people really believe that shit because we want to disprove it so we can rape and murder tourist & practice cannibalism in peace

[keereekee]

@DanchElmore

Well like I said before Im just having some fun. And I don't believe all of what I'm saying - broad generalizations about most things rarely end up being accurate. Fox news is bullshit though!

"Tea Party" is a Big Lie. It's not the simple 1700s. We now have millions of life-saving water-food-air-safety, police, military, etc. provided by "big government" (We The People). During the real Tea Party there were no freeways, bridges nor school that allow real tax-paying patriots to work & contribute to the superior progress this nation has. I've never whined about paying taxes as without regulations many of us wouldn't be here. Due to Cheney's deregulations the Gulf is an oil pool."

[tresdizz]

under the obama administration 95% of Americans received a tax cut, one of the largest cuts in u.s. history. its obvious that your misinformed, or profiting off of the misinformed. you people dont even know what you want. i bet your clinging onto your government income, while trying to denie the future generation of their fair share.

[wvhvac1]

@tresdizz This statement is just a bold faced lie. Nuff said.

[tresdizz]

@wvhvac1 speak for yourself, i got mine and so did everyone else that i know.

Click on my link almartin77 and listen to

attorney Tom Cryer explained why there is NO LAW that makes the average working American LIABLE for the payment of income taxes on his earnings from the exersise of a natural right to live and provide for themselves and families!

[Geist632]

Obama is a fascist dictator in the making. Only the weak of mind, those with no spine and the desperate continue to support his narcissistic ass.

[dutchrolls340]

I too did a video you can watch if you want.

I have talked to dozens of people who couldn't make it because they had to work.

We are the folks who "carry the load" in this country so most were working. That and the fact this group doesn't normaly get out and demonstrate.

[mozartgenetics]

I was there milling about in the rain with my camera. Check out my video by typing in mozartgenetics. Then choose Charleston Tea Party off my list.

[amishcomputergeek]

Meh, I'm glad people are finally waking up. Its been long enough. I just hope more protests are conducted and something is done about it.

[EmpressStarXVII]

I was at this event. I was thinking there were around 400, but I was near the front of the crowd. It was an awesome protest and I was very pleased to see there wasn't any partisan speech. I'd hate to see this movement be pegged as a protest for conservative people only. I've considered myself somewhat liberal for a while now and even I am outraged at all of this spending. I may upload a video of the pictures I took at this event.

[Montani42]

I was there. I am proud of my fellow West Virginians for such a turn out on a cold rainy day. The local media really ignored it as much as they could and played it down, as most of the media did nationally. We all need to work to grow this movement and take back our rights. The Daily Mail used the AP's number of 300 nationally when there were between 1500 and 2000 at least. There were 8 in WV though the papers ignored Clarksburg's. Montain Sempre Libre !!!

[lonelyshag]

We must have more Tea Parties !

[theinsectmanofwv]

Thank you for posting this!

[JCJ77]

I live in Charles Town and went to the DC tea party it was great.

[scooterbug58]

Loved the video. I am planning on attending next tea party. I just started a new job and couldn't take off. We need to build our numbers so the president and congress will notice!

[SkyWV]

I shot a panorama of the crowd at 12:10pm, and then counted every head in the shot and color coded them. The total was just over 700. Of course, more arrived as time went on.

[Dramdin]

I'm glad to have been able to take part, but ashamed that such an even was necessary. Government needs to be careful not to upset those who sustain it.

[bachmann2012]

Amazing event! Some estimates were guessing as many as 2000! Was very well organized to be just a grassroots movement funded by average joe's. Thanks for uploading a historic event!

[crystaldawnsmom]

you are unbelievably stupid

[crzslady]

It was an awesome event. I'd put the crowd at about 1,000! I'm going to work on getting Barnes or Hall to run for Governor. Tell Dollar Danny to crawl back under his rock.

[WestVirginiaGOP]

I was there too. It was a great event. Get rid of Obama in 2012 and Vote Donny Jones for WV's Governor 2020!!!

[Nitronian]

Excellent video. I was there and law enforcement estimated the crowd to be 1,000 to 1,500. Very proud to be a part of the Charleston Tea Party. Was very well organized. Thank you to the organizers and the attendees. Hope to see you at the next "happenings".
