Protestors host tea party outside White House

[R0llsM0nster]

@cas343

you're full of shit, "racist conservative" are you retarded? its the other way around, the liberals just kiss the minorities asses for votes, if you haven't realized. Oh yeah, the only hippies are liberals dumb ass.

[REnightmare]

Look at the nazi rall...I mean tea party. Wait, but they are both biased conservative political groups who want(ed) to do away with their government during an economic recession.

[R0llsM0nster]

@REnightmare Oh, i see, so you like this socialized healthcare, unconstitutional bills, and government control.

[REnightmare]

@R0llsM0nster

1st: the healthcare reform was destroyed by the time it was passed; thanks for cancelling universial healthcare in the U.S.

2nd: The only serious mistake I believe Obama made was approving the bail out.

3rd: Where was this group during the last eight yeats when George W. Bush was using increased government control in the U.S.?

This group is like the Nazis because they believe anybody who disagrees with them should die; I don't approve of facism.

[Sonofthebeach009]

@R0llsM0nster Most welfare mooches do.

[Sonofthebeach009]

@REnightmare Nazism means National Socialism. A person who is promoting 'limited' government, curbing government excesses, balancing the budget and liberating their country from debt to foreign banks can not fall under the definition of nazi. But why let logic and reason stand in the way of your pre-conditioned, brainwashed, over-emotional, kneejerk reaction to anyone who objects to democrat policies and petitions for a better way? Democrats waste money - period.

[REnightmare]

@Sonofthebeach009

The Democrats have normally set the foundation for recovering the U.S. from an economic recession. However, my concern with the Tea Parties has nothing to do with political standing. What I detest is how an explosion of rage was thrown at a newly elected President within four months of his term; an anger created by the Bush Administration. Bush limited rights. Obama bailed out companies (which I hated) just like Bush to "save businesses"; why didn't they protest earlier?

[Sonofthebeach009]

@REnightmare It has been demonstrated that higher taxes do not generate higher revenues. The wheels of government turn slowly. Legislation can take 5+ years for its effect to show up. The Reagan tax cuts allowed for the 90s boom. He was the last good Republican president I will say. The last good Democrat president was JFK, who started issuing Greenbacks and at least attempted to divorce the US monetary system from the Federal Reserve - a private bank.

[Sonofthebeach009]

@REnightmare Now, the tea party movement began under bush. His excesses were well noticed. At least half of its members are dem/ind. Said movement was virtually ignored by the corporate media, CBS, NBC, ABC etc until it became too big to ignore. So certain GOP shills jumped on the band wagon, like Palin and other windbags, to in my opinion discredit the movement while pretending to be apart of it from the start. This is a typical political tactic, Clinton was a master at it.

[REnightmare]

@Sonofthebeach009

Corporate media will lean towards a certain section based on political and economic purposes. NBC tends to support the left while FOX supports the right; networks such as these hit two birds with one stone by exploiting demographs to obtain a steady audience and benefit financially from advertising. The Tea Party is encouraged by FOX because Rupert Murdoch is a conservative who knows how to draw a crowd with controversy. Thus it grew with a biased right-wing majority.

[Sonofthebeach009]

@REnightmare The GOP congress of the 90s reformed welfare, and generated the first surplus in decades over the deficit. The only reason clinton signed it into law is because he knew they had enough votes for an override and wanted to spare himself the embarassment. Unfortunately, those same persons are no longer in office. Purportedly altruistic programs, which are really just new channels for graft, are once again the norm in washington.

[Sonofthebeach009]

@REnightmare So bottom line is, democrats have not set the foundation for economic recovery and there is no way that tea partiers can be reasonably compared to national socialists or nazis.

[REnightmare]

@Sonofthebeach009

I see the Tea Parties as the Nazi's because of a parallel in their actions given the economic stability of their nations; that is it. I only look at situations historically. The Democrats always get voted into office during a recession. Recognition of the Tea Parties only demonstrates how desperate these people are for a short term result to their long term problems. The political party system is creating a divide against Americans; conservative group gets help from FOX NEWS.

[BJW1951]

there's nothing lame about throwing the "teabagging" insinuation back at someone. i hated dubya and his bullying republican drips and i hate "the one" and his bullying democratic drips... kick all their asses out and start over. let's have term limits for congress. it would be nice to get washington"ites" who represent us and not the "fucking" corporations.

[Sonofthebeach009]

@BJW1951 Yes, help promote the Libertarian party.

[lindberghg]

oh, yeah, like that guy would hire someone else if he hadn't had to pay $30,000 in taxes. how bout that $30,000 going back into his pocket? gee, if i wouldn't have had to pay that $4000 i had to pay in taxes, i could have bought more shit from wal mart and they could have made china a little more wealthy! where were all the "concerned" teabaggers over the last eight years when there was a huge outsourcing of jobs overseas? sitting at home, watching fox news and believing every word!

[lindberghg]

the dude with the hat has tea bags danggling in his face!!! LOL!!

cmon, how can you take a "teabagger" seriously?

[BJW1951]

it's hard to take an idiot seriously, lindberghg, so i'm going to mute your teabagging ass...

[lindberghg]

pretty lame comeback there, bjw.  look, all i'm saying is if the issue is worth demonstrating over, doesn't a person diminish the impact of the demonstration by looking AND acting like a fucking moron?

[CTina94]

UPIVideo, your info is wrung, it is thousands not hundreds,

[CTina94]

*wrong

[cas343]

Will you guys abandon the left and right bull crap?

THERE IS NO LEFT.

THERE IS NO RIGHT.

THERE ARE 2 SIDES: BANKERS, AND MYSELF.

Now for your homework, go and find one other "Hippy Liberal" or another "racist conservative" and say:

"Wow you were right, my party was bullshit all along. I will abandon my partisanship and focus on helping America by reading the constitution and helping to get our money back from the Federal Reserve."

killing lizards one scale at a time,

Daniel

[Aphidboy]

Americans already "come out" when we voted last November. And what did Americans say? They said "Get lost, vile Republican asshole bloodsuckers who lied us into the Iraq War and destroyed the economy. And we didn't need no stinking tea bags to say that. We used ballots. And just look how that turned out.

[BobTheTERROR]

Republicans destroyed the economy? This had nothing to do with the loans Clinton and Carter forced banks to give out to people who couldn't pay them back, which both Bush and McCain opposed in 2002, now did it? It's amazing how ignorant someone can be and argue something for which there is no evidence supporting them.

[Aphidboy]

That's right, Bob. Suddenly everything seems to be Carter's fault. Carter's name appears in every "Conservative's" talking points these days. Carter has been out of office almost 30 years, but, by God, he done us wrong and nothing Reagan and the Bushes did in 20 years in power could save us.

"Conservatism" is just another word for justifying selfishness. Wake up, man. It's 2009 and the country Bush/Cheney left behind is a smoking ruin. So blame

Carter and Clinton. Real smart.

[Sonofthebeach009]

@BobTheTERROR I agree with you in essence. However the forced loan garbage started under Carter.

[SonsofLiberty740]

Lol and you think it matters wether or not the government is full of dems. or gops.?

Here's some thought: would there still be tea parties if Mcain were president?

the answer is yes, the tea parties have been around since 07, we didn't like Bush either, it's more of a movement to restore the constitution than whether or not we have a certain party in office.

[lindberghg]

i would like to think that were the case, however, i personally fell the 'teabag" parties are more an instrument of rush limbaugh and fox news than anything else!

[beaver7216]

Remember that Bush got about 51% in 2004 and won and left with 28%. We "vote" daily, in polls. And the opinion of people change. Certainly Obama did not campaign on massive bailouts, taking over car companies, doubling the federal debt in 6 years, and leaving us each with $115,000 in federal debt.

Did you vote for that?

[arslp]

Aphidboy:

ACORN talked for many. With their help the election was 54% - 46%.

Wonder what it would have been had ACORN been non-existent, AND the military vote had been counted in full.

So, how many extra $1,000's were your taxes up this year? Mine was up $8,000(from 2007), and I tea-bagged with the best of them.

[lindberghg]

hey beavis, he said he teabagged with the best of them! uh huh,huh,huh,huh!

[1149ricko]

check out the you tube video search words "port saint lucie tea party glenn beck".

[badflamenco]

98 percent of what the Federal govermemt does is NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE CONSTITUTION. The Constitution is NOT a "living breathing" thing (that you can train to say whatever you want) WE DEMAND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT START ABIDING BY THE LETTER OF THE CONSTITUTION RIGHT FUCKING NOW! Other wise a whole lot of people are going to hang by their necks from whatever horizontal beam is avaiable for a makedhift gallows. WE WILL RETAKE OUR COUNTRY. YOU HAD BETER HOPE WE CAN DO IT PEACABLY. Idiots.

[darliegoddess]

@badflamenco Just try it you communist creep! You and your scum sucking republican corporate crones aren't the tea party, we are! Learn some history creep!

[badflamenco]

@darliegoddess Obviously you are barking up the wrong tree, lady. I'm as far from a communist as you can get.

[darliegoddess]

@badflamenco Democracy's are socialist where everyone gets ti decide, communism is where an elite group gets to decide.In this case the corporations. That is communist!

Each marker represents the headquarters of a financial institution that expects or has already received money from the Treasury Department under the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program). The size of each marker represents the amount of bailout money given to each institution. Click on the markers to see the institutions name and amount its receiving.

Show just the bailout entities by state:

[taoofmichael]

I get it. Spend more money on "defense" and "getting the terrorists" instead of roads, bridges, a smart grid, clean sustainable power and health care.

I have to say, I disagree with those priorities. Thats why I'm glad Obama won, and McCain/Palin (he wont even say her name now,) lost.

[KamikazeKoscki]

District of Columbia 2 $15.2 billion 

Pennsylvania 24 $8.9 billion

Ohio 15 $7.9 billion

Minnesota 7 $7 billion

Georgia 17 $6.2 billion

Illinois 24 $4.2 billion

Alabama 8 $3.7 billion

Texas 21 $3 billion

Wisconsin 13 $2.5 billion

[sinanwolfgazo]

the blacks will get all the money. that was the idea

[KamikazeKoscki]

New York=$175.2 billion, North Carolina=$56.2 billion,Virgina=$48.7 billion, California=$27.6 billion, Michigan=$25.5 billion,

[KamikazeKoscki]

Almost every state implemented double taxation, car registration was double, tolls, licenses, cig. increase $1, increase in food, dog food, interest rates on credit cards went up 5%, busting unions and forcing people to lose their health care. cancer cell in place=socialism.

[specultr]

Shills for the rich. A few hundred Joe the Plumbers get their 15 minutes.

[badflamenco]

You sir ar a fucking idiot.

[mraevirdomil]

HAHAHA..... they were duped by the corporations (FOX) and the rich.

[poosnip]

None of these people sound intelligent!!!!  OMG. They sound like someone has told them what to say or they are repeating a mantra!

[uconnfb74]

what do you do to inheritance? well if you are a democrat you tax it at a ridiculously high rate. Listen he inherited a mess i agree, but to fix a mess you need to fix the problems. Healthcare costs didnt get us in a recession, if you know anything about economics you know it was the destabilization of the banking sector, the capital cushion that the banks DONT have. It is the contagent effect the repeal of the glass stegall and mcfadden act of 1927 and 1933 respectively.

[Cazador42265]

1:32 says it all thanks President Woodrow Willson.  Burn the Federal Reserve now and save the value of the dollar.

[hugozoom]

how many of these people complained when George W. Bush lowered taxes (primarily on the wealthy) and started two wars, shredding the surplus he inherited from Bill Clinton?

[Shiftfallout]

Lowering Taxes on business owners does increase their desire to hire more employees in order to make more. People are fed up now that the situation has gone overboard. Under Bush's term, we had a fixable deficit. Under Obama's, theres not much room for recovery, its suicide. He is spending 9% more than bush did on the war effort when america is in a recession and spending trillions of dollars for projects and payouts that do not create jobs or fix the economy.

[obamamaniacs]

"fixable deficit" under Bush? Oh brother, you're sleeping. Bush came into office with a surplus and quickly squandered that. Obama inherited this mess. You ever had an inheritance? What do you do with it?

[Shiftfallout]

Nice play on words, but you are making Bush's mess to be some huge astronomical atomic bomb that just went off. Im sorry, but you need to wake up. The USA's situation and status after Bush left office was fixable. It was a small hole in a leaky dam, easily patched. Obama came along and made bigger holes, bigger than Bush's instead of fixing the already existing holes, and blamed it on bush. Remember Obama said he wouldnt let a good crisis go to waste.

[Shiftfallout]

You dont borrow yourself out of recession, and spend your way out of debt. Its so simple, and yet so true. Obama made a lot of empty promises, vague illusions of a better future, instead he is just repeating the same mistakes only multiplied tenfold. Cut wasteful spending, not increase it. He promised no pork, the bill that passed was full of it. He stands by Geinter for crying out loud, the guy is the biggest crook in Washington, he didnt even pay $30,000 worth of taxes. Wake up man!

[poosnip]

Think of the system we are in, why it is inherently unstable and corrupt, why china effectively has bankrolled America's spending spree. The bankers own Washington! it has been like that for a long time. That they were completely underregulated is the reason for this mess. Now this money is loaned to the banks and they will pay it back. As for the other spending. Well Our kids will have much more to suffer than just increased taXES anyway! But they will have good infrastructure.

[poosnip]

"fixable deficit"??? Who feeds you this crap? What is the definition of a fixable deficit? and in this current situation, where do the boundaries between 'fixable' and presumably 'non-fixable' deficit lie

[poosnip]

You have not even asked why we have a mess in the first place? Are you attempting to rewrite history? Clinton left Us in a budget surplus. The economy was quite buoyant. After 8 bush years we are in a mess. After 90 Obama days, it is all his fault? Why don't you say what you really want to say! You people and your ilk are a world of trouble.

[obamamaniacs]

not one.

[poosnip]

Absolutely none. Back then they were warring Patriots.

[devtin]

bush increased the national debt significantly as well.

[Shiftfallout]

Yep, it sucks but what sucks more is that Obama is increasing the debt 4 times more than bush. At that point, people realize enough is enough. Obama made it seem like it would end with Bush, but it didnt.Obama said he wouldnt let a good crisis go to waste, and what he has done is lie to get elected, but now is making everything worse while using the "blame bush" card. He is not responsible for bushes actions, hes responsible for his own. Congress never read his stimulus bill,how bad can you get?

"That don't sound right" LOL XD

[momardrame]

You republicans are morons. But I don't expect anything less from a party that idolizes Joe the "unlicensed" plumber.

[nightstalkersasslt]

Fo fuck yourself oh and keep the change.

[Flamethrower334]

plans to? when?

[momardrame]

I don't give a shit if one million people show up. In a country of 300 million people and after Fox News advertised the Tea parties for weeks, of course thousands of people will attend. But the polls don't lie, 60% of americans support what Obama is doing with the economy. the rest come to your tea parties.

[framed30]

you will wake up some day. when your government is ass fucking you too

[momardrame]

You may be right (NOT) but until then...

[framed30]

wow, that was a great come back

[tsummerlee]

Argumentum ad populum.

[momardrame]

OK. So there were 50 millions of you but so what. There are more people like me -that support Obama- than people like you. That's why he won the election and that's why his poll ratings is in the 60%'s.

[PatriotsFightBack]

Get facts-in-head before you put foot-in-mouth:

RASMUSSEN TRACKING (April 14, 2009): 35% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. 32% Strongly Disapprove.

[momardrame]

In a country of 300 million people only about 20,000 people (99% of whom are senior citizens with nothing better to do) showed up NATIONWIDE at those tea parties. What a great turnout huh? I bet Obama could manage to get at least that many people just by showing up at Starbucks.

C'mon, these are just a bunch of clowns who want to be seen on TV

[Prodius]

20,000 LOL you sure?

That's still 2,000 times more than the AIG staged protests but you're going to see a more accurate numbers after the 5 PM protests start.

[tsummerlee]

I saw all ages and races of people. Smear all you want, but this movement is over a million strong, and growing by the day.

[momardrame]

You guys may be in the millions but the likes of me are even more numerous. After all that's why Obama got elected over McCain.

[DMFDMinister]

I was personally in Indianapolis. We had about 5,000 there. There were hundreds of these across the country today.

In addition, one of the problems is that most of the people who will attend are working and productive members of society. Getting out of your job at 3:30pm isn't easy on a Wednesday...unless you live on welfare. Libs are great at that.

[Philhelm]

There were probably 1,000 people where I was at, in Overland Park Kansas. Supposedly there were 4,000 in Kansas City. Most of the people were not seniors, as you say. I was there, and saw it with my own eyes, so don't try to spread uninformed disinformation.

[xxxxulovemexxxx]

Love the cabbage patch kid! God Save Our American States! I am so proud of all patriots today. Wow. Just wow.

[Philhelm]

Now, we need to take this further. Buy weapons and ammo.  Will the people who sit idley by, bleed for their government?

[xxxxulovemexxxx]

MONEY is more POWERFUL than BLOOD.

[Philhelm]

xxxxulovemexxxx: Hmmm...fascinating. I don't know whether or not if I should agree with you, or disagree with you.

[maryhenderson53]

Maybe before you talk you should look up how much is spent of defense. Try looking up how much of GDP is spent on defense (GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product)...stupid liberal..get a job and learn about paying taxes

[kainedamo]

That one woman talking about how she wishes the government would spend more on national security and going after terrorists, she's an idiot. The amount of money that goes into defense is incredibly large. She is clueless.

[Prodius]

Not anywhere near as large as Obama's reckless spending.

Just so you know Clinton had 1 year with a surplus and 7 with a defecit, Bush was ledt with a 5.57 trillion dollare defecit and like an idiot increased it to over 8 trillion total. Now we have a guy pushing that much in his first 2 months.

[tsummerlee]

All that dough Obama plans to put into "Health Care" could be spent on defense instead.

Iran should be shaking in it's boots right now, not thumbing it's nose at us. North Korea should be begging to talk to us, not shooting off rockets over Japan.

Clearly not enough is being spent on defense.

[kainedamo]

The US military budget is almost as much as the rest of the world's defence spending combined, you idiot.

[tsummerlee]

Yet we have pimply faced teenagers hijacking civilian carrier ships in otherwise friendly waters.

Obama plans to reduce defense spending, moron.

[kainedamo]

Somali pirates? What's that got to do with it?

Yeah, defense spending is the one place where America can afford to cut a little.
