September 12 2009 Washington DC Tea Party Protest

[arecuk1]

I find it laughable that these people actually think that the republican party leaders are any better than the democrat party leaders, or that they think people like limbaugh and hanity speak for them. I find it sad that in reference to politics that they brainwash their kids with republican rhetoric. Both parties do it and both are corupted and the vast majority of politicians in this country care about themselves not the public. When will people ever wake up and see the truth.

[ValencianistaSajon]

Watching this as a German is so funny you have to know. Social market economy has changed this country from a field of rubble to one of the wealthiest nations in the world with medicare and national health insurance being important parts of it. Also the child of the poorest workers family has got healthy teeth and all the British exchange students can't believe that every teen wears braces here. This wealth is what destroyed the former GDR and its communists regime, you are marching against it.

[ars62287]

@ValencianistaSajon Hahahahaha, good one buddy, you still feel the same way now as Greece crumbles and relies on you and your country men to yet again bail them out due to their greedy socialist lifestyle? If you havent been killed by the riots and upraising caused by what you defended a year ago, I'd love a response.....

[ValencianistaSajon]

@ars62287 Of course I feel the same way, why shouldn't I? Was it a national health insurance was it not which destroyed Greece - and your nation gets ruined without one. Your debt ratio is not far from the one of Greece, my friend.

I think this is much about mentality. If you want to regard my as a socialist and communist, feel free to do so - my grandfather was in prison for fighting for freedom of speech in a socialist country, my mother was as a result not allow to study.

"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."

[IowaArmen]

wanna cut spending? get rid of social security. people should work no matter how old they are. how did reaching a certain age become a license to loaf? s.s. is the ultimate welfare program. as long as it exists any other spending cuts are just a joke. but no tea baggers address s.s. do they? hmm, i wonder why? not to mention medicare, the abomination that steals medicine out of baby's mouths in favor of people who'll be dead soon anyways. brilliant!!!

[mikeloli11]

RETARDS.. oh sorry thats mean to say to mental patients

[MoonbatsAreDingbats]

Hmmm! No tear gas? No horse-mounted police? No riot squad? No pepper spray? No middle fingers? No fires? No violence? No beating up the opposition? No arrests?

Oh, okay, I see why now ... it's a Tea Party rally and not a moonbat protest!

Rock on Tea party!

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

hey you tea party idiots did real well today.

give yourself a pat on the back and a candy bar.

LMAO.

[lapmedong]

the tea party movement is getting co-opted by the Republican party. Michelle Bachman....are you kidding me. She's a neocon when it comes to the war on terror. You'll see the wars increase under her and your liberties go bye bye. Palin....are you kidding me? John McCain (neocon) picked her. That's all you need to know. Judas goat glen beck)...he's such a joke that I need not say anything. I would like to see Ron Paul lead the way if it's going to be the Republicans.

[DEATHBYSOCIALIST]

yes it is just neo con bs

[Atlantafried]

You say that there were hundreds of thousands of people at this rally? There were 200,000 people at Dr. Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech and the crowd was way bigger than this one.

Fox News reported that "tens of thousands of protesters" were at the Washington tea-bagging event on September 12th, 2009. The Washington, D.C. fire department estimated the crowd to be between 60,000 to 70,000 people.

The point I'm trying to make is that you don't have to lie to make your argument.

[FreeMeification]

I was there and the Capital Police claimed 1.7million. Being an avid concert goer in California, I am more than familiar with what 200,000 looks like even 600,000! I'll stick with 1.7million. Trust NO MEDIA.

[Atlantafried]

You are smoking crack. Fox News and the Politifact website reported that the D.C. Fire and Emergency Department reported between 60,000 to 75,000 people at the Washington Tea-Bagging Rally.

I bet less than five people that attended the event were people of color. The Tea-Baggers do not represent 'real' Americans.

You call yourself 'patriots', but from looking at the people that attended the event, it seemed like it was a bunch of inbred, toothless, racist, uneducated trailer trash.

[FreeMeification]

Atlantafried, If you think I am trusting your numbers or your sources of numbers...well, no that ain't happenin'.

Your classist mentality is astonishing.."inbred,toothless­,racist,un-educated trailer trash." Can I assume that you are of the elite class that will eventually rule over me and mine? Who are you to impose your view and your will, that I may not do the same and get the same respect for it? What do Patriots "look like?" are you "profiling?"

[USpatriot88]

sounds like that comment is just YOUR racism coming out of YOU this protest was know bias towards any denomination

[NoGuff]

Great video. 5*

No wonder the news media didn't cover this event (tell the American public about it). I only see about 20 people there, don't you?

Stop watching ABC, CBS, NBS, MSNBC, because THEY ARE LYING TO YOU and KEEPING INFORMATION FROM YOU. You must send them emails constantly, telling them to GO TO HELL.

They don't believe in America, they hate ordinary Americans, they believe we're all stupid know-nothings who don't deserve anything in life.

I know, I used to be a Liberal.

[CavsHooligan]

what about Faux News?

[bojanks15]

more like neo nazis!

[Suckbe420]

there were colored peopel at the 20G summit in just last week or so oct 1st?

[fishfry001]

Odd FACT. Not one person of color in sight. Weird, huh? Why is that & should we read something into it? Someone had a sign "Canisius College Loves Glenn Beck". I can only hope this person doesn't really speak for the school regarding that racist Beck. How frightening.

Someone in the crowd had a list sign with three items stood out as legitimate & pursuble goals: 1) Tort and Fraud reform FIRST; 2) No health care for illegals; 3) No Cap & Trade. These are things we should ALL be fighting for.

[AureIium]

As a matter of a fact, I've seen lots of photos of the protest, and among those photos there were quite a lot of black people. So it's hardly an odd FACT, y'know. ;)

[capper52]

nice I saw myself in your video thanks

[john176900]

nice try ??????????? white

[PunishTheGuilty1]

and when i say i have pity, i mean because its clear from the message that you sent me that you have some kind of mental illness.

[PunishTheGuilty1]

You didnt protest when Bush led your country into this recession and 2 Wars which cleverly ripped away hard-working American tax dollars and gifted them to dubious Coperations because you dont care about being shafted by Governments, you only care about exposing your hatred of all things liberal and outwith your narrow world view.

I read your hate-filled rant of a private message you sent me and it confirmed everything i knew already.

Unlike you, i dont hate. I only have pity

[PunishTheGuilty1]

watched this again and not one black person could i see...what did make me laugh though is one sign stating that its free market economics that bring prosperity not government intervention. Where pray has that ill-informed buffoon been hiding for the last few years when free-market economics brought america to its knees and had to be rescued by a huge world wide bailout!!

The ignorance of these people is laughable. Small-minded little people blinded by their fears and predudices.

[johnmcfarm]

Here come the intelligent posts of democrats. Filled with hatred for the people, hatred for freedom, and hatred for anything good. Their arrogance is reminiscent of the other leftist fascists...Nazi's, Communists, etc.

[PunishTheGuilty1]

I deal in facts, you deal in smears. Fact.: these events are sponsered by right wing organisations and do not accurately represent American society.

Because i state a fact you smear me with being a nazi and a communist. Just laughable but typical of the american right wing, no intelligent debate only lies and smears.

Look again at the video, most people white and above 50 - FACT. You want to smear me for more now? Call me a terrorist or a muslim maybe? lool

[NeoPatriots]

PunishTheGuilty1, according to the dictionary definition, you are a racist, becasue you hate white people. I edited this video, there were blacks there, rest assured. I did not purposely remove the "black man" from it, its just there weren't any good shots to use. And, brother, what if I am black, or a Jew! Would you hate me or call me a racist, small minded person then. You are the one enslaved to your prideful selfish fantsies, I am free, unlike you. Are we not all of one blood? Learn to think

[NeoPatriots]

Also, PunishTheGuilty1, there were no KKK's there like you think they were. Apparently you were not there, but in your fantasy liberal land. If you look at the history of this county, America, this "small minded people" as you call them, worked hard for all black to be treated equal, learn history, stop making up things. It was the socialist/democrtas who have always hated and shunned the black man. Al Gore's father voted against equal rights for blacks. Socialism is stupidity, learn to think.

[NeoPatriots]

Also, PunishTheGuilty1, you have no understandings of econmics. GNP is not suported by the governments but by the private sector. When money is taken by the govrnmt the turnaround rate falls, lowering the GNP and raising unemployment. The problem is not freedom or free markets . The opposite of a free market is an enslaved market like a socialist govenment run market. If you study the facts then you know the reason for Americas recession is not free markets but excessive govenment interference.

[PunishTheGuilty1]

If you really think that this recession was caused by excessive government interference then i am assuming that you are accusing the Bush administration of that because they caused the recession didnt they?!?!?

It also begs the question, where the hell where you then when your country was in the middle of the biggest recession in a decade??!?!

You were sat in your trailer park whooping on the Bush administration ripping off your tax dollars and gifting it to Halliburton etc in the Iraq War!

[fishfry001]

Hello? The reason for the near financial collapse of our nation was rampant, unregulated risky moves made by some many financial institutions, some of which are no longer with us today. The problem was lax or not enough regulation of the financial markets and institutions, not "too much government" as you state. And this only just happened! Have you forgotten already? Sheesh!

[capper52]

Knock Knock anyone there lmao are you kidding me it was Barney Frank and his pets Fannie and Freddie that did most of the damage. Also they tried to reign them in but to no avail. I suggest you look into this.

[Quake1983]

@PunishTheGuilty1 what I find HILARIOUS about your statement is that it is a complete falsehood and a lie. example. housing crisis came from what. people who could not afford to buy a house being able to buy them. whos responsible for that? barney fwank forcing lending companies thru legislation to lower credit requirements therefore altering market conditions. banks wont lend to unqualified buyers unless forced to. why? high risk and its bad for business. geeee oooops. I win

[PunishTheGuilty1]

I know that these marches do not accurately represent the racial breakdown of american society

This is certainly not because black americans arent patriots (the percentage of black people serving in the armed forces is totally representative of american society in general)

Fact is these events are packed full of right wing zealots who fear/hate black people. The vast majority attending these events are viewed with utter disdain by the world's media.

Angry, insular, fearful little people.

[301Goldstar]

There was like 100 Thousands at the DC. Man I wish I was their.

[PunishTheGuilty1]

cant see any people of colour, only white rednecks.

guess black people arent "patriots", either that or these protesters are ignorant, racist scum

[NeoPatriots]

What about the person in the obama costume, they as you said "are a person of color" did you not watch the video?You are "racist" by calling white people rednecks. Learn to think.

[h3rat1c]

Hold up, you joined 2 days after this was posted and this is the dribble you bring. Honestly you need to do your research before running your keyboard. Also i did not see a sign or hear any one say that your "person[s] of color" are not patriots. Apparently you are misled by your own fears.

[srdoss79]

It's about time the people starting speaking up and standing up for their rights. Now, if we just get the rest of the people to quit being so blindsided and wake up to whats going on and whats fixing to happen if there isn't something done fast. Great video, great job!

[TheTeaPartyMovement]

I drove 3.5 hours to get to a charter bus, then another 26.5 hours to get to Washington D.C. , my entire trip I keep receiving Text messages from Patriots who wish they were there. There were over 1.5 Million there. Running out of space. Search "Boerne San Antonio Tea"

view my local Tea Party then my video from D.C. ! ! God Bless you great job on this video!! MJT , S.A. Patriot

[johnmcfarm]

What an event!  America is on the move towards FREEDOM!

[PitchforkPatriot]

Great job at capturing the feeling on the ground. I wish I could have been there.

[numberonepal]

Well done patriot.

[nohussein]

Awesome, thank you.
