Video Essay: Taxpayers Rally at U.S. Capitol

[BertGriffin88]

Well America, there it is. The lost Republican munchins as led by Pence. Sadly strange and almost embarassing to watch. They are a part of the We. Unfortunately they don't become part of the collective reasoning of the melting pot. They just zombie about and only repeat what they're told by the Pence. How scary is that? The Republican voters are waking up, wanting to kick their theiving Republicans out, and beginning to understand that Bush & Dick created this mess, and left it for Obama to fix.

[PonguigPeopinn]

We must assassinate Obama.

[jensen1901]

NO ONE IS TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO DUMMY! A pubic option is just that: an OPTION.

[publicssoss]

You mean, these polls from Sept?

Support for the Public Option:

Kaiser 67%

Employees Benefit Research Institute 83%

Consumers Union 67%

Lake Research 71%

NBC / WSJ 72%

SurveyUSA 77%

Rasmussen 41%

[Trimtube78]

I've narrowed this down to a bunch of greedy doctors and ignorant rednecks spewing propaganda. No wonder they got trashed in the 08' elections. Fools. They don't even market their garbage that well anymore. They put Palin on the ticket? Seriously, get a grip people! CEOs vote Republican. Big business wants the illegal immigrants to stay for cheap labor while we pay for their healthcare and benefits. We are already doing this! Wake up you morons!

[Tressco]

"You can live like me!" :)

[Swif41]

notice how they're all white

[citizenlizard]

When the cons have their next tea party this Sept I'm going to go out there with an "I love Obama" sign

[citizenlizard]

After listening to that guy's song, it just makes me support Obama even more.

[xthatfatguyx]

*sigh* damn rednecks

[SuperEvilC]

There's lots of interesting (scary) videos here on youtube that show this crowd in it's full.... well....

After the reviews are in and doctored/re-cycled photos debunked, it only ended up being around 45k to 50k.... not that good at all considering a years worth of advertising and 100's of buses bringing in people from all over. Hell, the Beck didn't even show up.

Check out Obama's Inauguration to see millions of truly Patriotic Americans.

[SuperEvilC]

Yes they Klan!

[anandbala75]

From looks of this video, it looks like a majority of Americans needs to be on some sort of a mental health program.

[WhatCanIsay100]

Reagan signed the free trade bill..

[theunbubba]

The Capitol Police estimated the crowd at more than 1.2 million. Making it the largest crowd ever assembled to protest in the nation's Capitol.

[albefranks]

I rather be water boarding?!?! Could someone please expain this statement to me

[frankbellows]

I think there was 100,000's of thousands if not 10's of millions get your facts right

[PresidentKristinar]

You would make it a race issue. My parents used to be well off and they paid their taxes, and trust me they worked hard for their money too. Being gone on a ship for 4 months and being of for only 2 weeks can hurt. So stop talking crap. If you want to earn money get off of your lazy butt and earn it. Jerk.

[GodKillerAtheist]

Just a bunch of old rich white FOLKS mad about a black man in office. LOL

[ktchong]

If you owe $100, the debt is your problem.

If you owe $2.5 trillion, the debt becomes the creditor's problem.

[3monkeysmomma]

If your government owes 2.5 trillion, its your great-grandchildren's problem.

[carolyncriss]

Wow, A/P! What an awesome job finding as many holes in the crowd to minimize the appearance of numbers as possible. Oh, and the signs in the garbage, a nice touch. . . You know, I was a liberal Democrat for 2/3 of my life, but I've never been a lawyer, a politician, a thief (not that those are mutually exclusive) or a journalist. What is the high in deliberate deception? Really. I'd like to know. (I'm posting a video response to this. I may not have your nice camera, but I have a voice.)

[cowboybill117]

Geeze you can't be serious ktchong, run back to school.

[aclusux]

1.5 to 2 Million march on Washington CNN, ABC, CBS, Headlines and BSNBC will not report it. But if the did, they would distort it.

The are losing money for it.

[kornolio13]

"Hear what people are saying"...

Isn't it what people said voting for Obama's healthcare plan. Only proves that GOP doesn't care what majority says. They want money to be spent on wars.

[ktchong]

In paper money. The U.S. is already working on inflating itself out of debts, which means all the $2.5 trillion will add up to very little.

[jasonsadventure]

"i want my country back" is code for "where those colored are in their place and white men run the show"

[MadProphet2009]

Your even more blind than the average Joe if you dont think "white" people dont tell Obama what to do. Who do you think he answers to? the banking cartel runs this country. Tim Geithner is Obama's immediate supervisor.

[jasonsadventure]

really? and the aliens that landed in roswell are operating a secret pentagon program to establish a new world order.

ah, bro. the first sign of insanity is when you think everyone else is crazy

[brookss0505]

Fight for the USA, get Obama out

[Cyanidesin]

I'm sure if I was white and old I'd be scared too.

[ktchong]

In another news, when old people found out that their social security payment will not increase next year, they immediately demand to raise taxes on young people so they can get more social security.

[SpecialKit]

This country is fail

[MiLSeLrAhC]

yea... fail is fail

[Seibzehn]

Notice how it's almost entirely old white people...

[iamaloserandisuck]

Fucking retards

[gobigorange99]

THere are racial overtones at this redneck ralley. I mean why would middle class Americans are against health care reform?

[ktchong]

Wait... I'm a racist for pointing out the obvious?

The fact is all those angry tea baggers you see in the video are WHITE.

Do you see a black? NO. Do you see a Latino? NO. Do you see an Asian? NO.

Why is it so? Why? Why? Why?

Maybe this whole silly tea bagging charade has a racial undertone, that's why ALL minorities are staying away from it.

[ktchong]

When you have a cause that's completely devoid of any support from any minority, you know there's something beneath it.

[Roonskii]

1:20 It's called an election you dumb bitch.

The party of blood thirst bat shit crazy got kicked the fuck out!

[ktchong]

Why are tea baggers always white?

Here we have an all-white tea party and all-white attendance. You don't see a single minority -- and it's in DC!

Amazing!

[Roonskii]

This is nothing but a fringe movement of a shamefully uneducated American public out to destroy any hope they have for themselves by ironically supporting what will kill them. America already has death panels and these fools are gleefully giving them money and volunteering their time.

[Roonskii]

Perhaps they do not have the time to research or learn anything other than hatefilled sound bites spoon fed to them. Not, much time left in a day working two, three, jobs. Same idots against raising the min. wage. Constantly against their own best interest. This post represents nothing more than a small house of fools. It is truly sad what has happened to these people,

[Nickk361]

If you are against slavery, what have done to free/deport the illegal serfs now working in the US?

[Nickk361]

halcyon083- So, peddle your intolerant, National Socialist garbage somewhere that someone will buy it, Huffington would be a good start.

[USA4July1776]

The left has shown their true tyrannical, fascist, racist and propagandist colors...

2010 & 2012.

[3rdworldinvasion2]

valkyrie091 is a leftist pretending to be a Republican.

[3rdworldinvasion2]

What has your Obama done for you?

He has enlarged our debt exponentially, he has further involved our military in a thousand year entanglement in Afghanistan, he has nationalized the automobile industry, he has given billions to gangsters such as ACORN and Wall Street, he has strengthen the Executive with his Czars, he is now trying to involve the government in our health care (what happened to privacy concerns such as abortion rights when a Republican is in office, have you thought of that?).

[ObamaIsTheEnemy]

It went Marxist, you leftard.

[arkangel8419]

this is a good first step but u cant fizzle out and u cant just blame obbama bush fucked up alot of shit too along with clinton it takes more then 9 months to fuck up a nation so dont just blame obama but like a said it takes years and years to get this country where were at and the people cant just say well i went to the rally i did my part this was only a small first step in what we need to do

[Nickk361]

Didn't realize the right to "freedom of speech" was subject to affirmative action quotas.

[julian7650]

Colored huh?

[USA4July1776]

Wow, ktchong, like all leftists is a huge RACIST, race-obsessed and race baiting douche bag...

[USA4July1776]

Catchy but ultimately... dumb.

[ObamaIsUnAmerican]

Leftists? Dumb is too nice to describe the immensity of the severe retardation afflicting them. It's a miracle they remember to breathe every so often. Isn't that right, you dysfunctional leftist degenerate cunt?

[Nickk361]

You're a regular Delta Force Operator on the QWERTY keyboard. Go back and let 'em have it on your Kanye West channel.

[Nickk361]

Had you ever done anything to educate yourself about the Founding Fathers and the creation of this Republic you would understand that you are wrong, had you ever done anything to defend it, you would be screaming.

[USA4July1776]

It smells like sperm...

Roonskii, say "excuse me" next time you burp!

[Nickk361]

Please someone get this mentally challenged move on org cut and paste primate some more meds, because he's OUT again

[Nickk361]

Come to Jersey I'll show you what a coward I am.

[Roonskii]

You can't talk your way out of a paper bag.

Buy a dress, some lipstick, move to Tijuana, and start taking it the ass tough guy. You can smell sperm all day long. That's a weird fetish you have by the way.

[THX1138x29]

Roonskii: "these people" are marching against big government spending and socialized medicine, and if your are so educated yourself, why are you spilling your hatred arcoss the border?

[ktchong]

So, you want to end big government spending. Let's start with all the expensive wars to exterminate Muslims. Oh wait, conservatives love to kill 'em Muslims dead.

We should immediately end Medicare - because Medicare *is* socialized medicine! But guess who are the biggest benefactors of Medicare? All the old phuckers who are voting for Republicans!

[THX1138x29]

ktchong: What's your answer to the "old phuckers" health care? and please don't bring up the Muslims, their world domination ambition and their Jihad on 9-12 of any year.

[Roonskii]

"these people" are surviving only off drinking what drool, saved in buckets, dripping off reagan's desk. glenn is noting more than a profiteer for American self defeatist. He is a traitor and would sell any delusional follower for a kicker pill. One ups man ship is a sad thing while people fight over the scraps inhumane enough I wouldn't find fit for my dog. Either you truly stand with your countrymen or with corporatism shills.

[Roonskii]

"insurance" is a pool of people bonding together with profit skimmed off the top, more and more. Those profits are being used to convince people more profits should be skimmed off the top. If you want a Death Panel, look at the denied claims in order to increase profit. There is no morality in a psuedo free market. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" So much for a christian nation. LMFAO Do you sugar coat the bowl of shit you eat ever morning or just swallow it straight.

[THX1138x29]

Roonskii: You are a moron, "insurance" is a business for profit in its nature. Your choices are provide for yourself or change the system for the better. In the mean time the Cuban's Castrocare should be able to pull your ill conceived Marxist product of love out of your ass.

[elspoko]

You think insurance companies are a pool of people bonding together? Are you that stupid? Do you actually buy that shit?

They are a company to make money. SImple. You have no say in your insurance company because you do not elect the people that go into the company. You have no say of the policies.

Do you sugar coat the bowl of ignorance you eat? Are you that easily lead?

These people are morons. You would fit right in.

[chxngao]

XD LOL

[misscrazyinaugusta]

wow don't the republicans tell people how to live??? last time I heard they tell people they should only be christians, that there should be no gays, and there should be no abortions even if the woman is raped by a stranger or by incest... yeah sounds like a plan huh???

[bulldri9]

people have died in American ERs in this this country for years due to the fact they have no healthcare or their health care won't provide proper coverage. these insurance companies need to serve the people and not their pockets

[demonicanthonyalbert]

My aunt,and everyonelse's family members are fucking dying of cancer or something worse, and they don't have health insurance yet these fucking asshole republicans dont care. Besides how do they think schools and other things are paid with?

[stretch34318]

schools are supposed to be paid for with property taxes, not free money from the federal government, there's no such thing.

[Nickk361]

shaolinmantis77 The conclusion that I draw is that with 95% of blacks voting for Obama their vote was purely racial and racist.

[Nickk361]

shaolinmantis77- Listen carefully, I want to help. Your brain is stuck in an infinite loop. Soon it will overheat and burn itself. If you are drinker, I advise you to go on a three day binge to reset. If not, I advise you to knock your head off a door jamb several times.

Once rebooted, consider that no one sane individual should believe that you should throw good money after bad. The previous socialist spending policies were bad, and the new ones are worse. Also, Bush is not POTUS anymore.

[shaolinmantis77]

The classic right winged rant: An elevated ego, a decreased maturity level, and a love for ad hominem attacks. I have better ways to spend my time.

[Nickk361]

95% of blacks voted as a block for Obama! That is a racial vote

[USA4July1776]

You must be out of your mind... the hatred against Bush shown by the left was unprecedented and unequaled since... at least his pastor didn't scream "GOD DAMN AMERICA" and -paraphrasing here- "KILL WHITIE!!!"

The left is totally intellectually dishonest and you're exhibit A.

[ninanwk69]

Today, we, the American people, showed Washington that we care about our liberty, our economic security, our national security, and the American Dream. Thank your lucky stars that some of us still understand how this nation is supposed to function, and what the Very Limited Scope of the Federal government is supposed to be.

[bulldri9]

dig  up Kennedy 2012! yay

[Jewishfan]

Americans vote for change, they got change. BIG CHANGE.

[fox9ninja]

dead people on the streets? what fucking part of canada did you go to?

[sharinganclan213]

liberals think its okay when fags protest for equal rights, but not okay when conservatives do it.

[phelotus]

why do you people keep making this a left and right thing? if you dont know that there is no REAL left or right then by god you deserve what obama is bringing! fuck republicans and fuck the democrats! i support the constitution only!dont be stupid people both parties are owned by the same body! think outside the box for once and stop judging people by a press video!

[kkinski2000]

Watch your mouth, theist retard.

[Beatnick79]

Remember all the people that protested the Iraq war?

[oilhammer04]

There are some great pictures at the "Corner" at National Review Online Scroll down to "NRO at the 912 March [Mark Hemingway]" "But perhaps the most interesting thing about the crowd was how friendly and civil it was. It was also a fun crowd . . . "

[3rdworldinvasion2]

Selfish? What a loaded word... dishonest moron.

[3rdworldinvasion2]

Your eyes see what your racist, prejudiced and small minded diseased pea-sized brain wants to see...

[USA4July1776]

When calling others stupid, try at least not to make the grammatical mistakes of a 5 year old... it would help your credibility.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Obama = Stone Cold Red Commie.

[demonicanthonyalbert]

Excactly, look at England theres a high tax for everything.

[USA4July1776]

Stop projecting, you're the retard here... retard.

[Nickk361]

USA-You've got a name I can respect.

[sunofwill]

Ridiculous how these people protesting about the goverment telling them what to do... Come on!

[engeo1993]

rofl quit your exaggerating.

[ladyblue614]

Why is it people pays all there life for medicare and Social Security then when they get at age they have to pay so much just to get it every month when they have paid all there life to get it?Where did all that money they took out all those years went to?

[ladyblue614]

too lol

[bajoho]

goes to the war and welfare and politicians and space programs and lobbyists and unions. medicare and social security are frauds and sucker programs for the ignorant masses.

[warcraft1920]

Wow so space is a waste of money? Your ignorance is showing. NASA should have their budget tripled at least. But of course your a conservative. You believe science is the work of satan. And Ron Paul is an idiot. His belief that the free market is always right is just stupid. If you want no government move to Somalia. LOL yeah thats what I thought.

[bajoho]

wow, r u the ignorant masses? LOL, yeah, that's what i thought.

[bajoho]

you're right but both parties are corrupt hypocrites and constitution trashers. bush or obama, no difference. i supported ron paul who actually supports the constitution and knows what liberty means.

[bcforn64]

I have three words, "No Bid Contracts."

Yes, I can understand some people feeling defense spending is justifiable...BUT often these are the same people who spew crap about the efficiency of the free market and minimal tax spending.

Yet, BILLIONS were LOST in useless contracts and overspending, but just NOW they "want their country back."

[Amaxander]

lol fucking hippies. you wont change anything with protests and music.

grow a pair and revolt!

stop being pussies!
