Capitol Steps - Battle Hymn of the Tea Public

[TurtleShroom]

I am a proud rightist GOPper that thumbed this up.

Both sides have their flaws. We need healthcare reform, but not Obama's twenty-year-plot to bankrupt insurers and enter a single payer when the private sector.

There are no death panels, and anyone who says otherwise didn't get that Palin was using that as a metaphor.

I like this song and chuckle as to how much these "paranoid" singers…

…got it right!

[Sleck06]

i'm a socialist do i terrify you idiots just because i believe healthcare and employment is a right?

[lowry5670]

You call us racists? When Liberals run out of arguments with substance they go to their tired old playbook: name calling. Can't believe anyone can be so shallow. The T-Party is simply this: TEA, Taxed Enough Already. It just took to long for us to finally say what Popeye said along time ago: "Thats all I can stanz, cause I can't stastanz no more"

[samten10a]

I wonder how many more attacks like convenience store be for the law abiding citizen rise up and replace the mayors and the governing body at city level at the state level the governor and legislators. Along with demand the law abiding citizens be trained and licensed by the city expense. Further that the self-defenses laws be reworked to make it harder to prosecute the person when protecting one self.

WE BEAT AZERBAIJAN!

W00t!

This song is hilarious.

[Chippermonkey33]

Too bad it would break the melody to mention that the list of the best health systems in the world says that Morocco, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Colombia (f*cking Colombia!) have a better health system the we do.

I love how the tea party is always talking about "taking the country back" Where was their concern about the economy during the 8 years of no job growth under bush, the tea party is nothing more than sore loser racists. Its no coincidence that their gatherings look like Klan rallies because basically that's what they are. They represent the dropping birthrate demographic called the White Wing and they see the writing on the wall. Hence the fear and ignorance.

[HerBunk]

@tooleman Is this comment the Liberal's version of civility????

[Gavinvox742]

@HerBunk No, it's someone who wasn't brainwashed by FOX News.

[HerBunk]

@Gavinvox742 Are you saying that it's alright to be brainwashed by ABC, CBS and NBC? or would you recommend that maybe one could actually read about the issues, listen to a variety of sources and learn the facts, make up their own mind and then have a civil discussion without automatically throwing out the race card to defend the administrations incompetence. The tea party is far less racist than the liberals who never let us forget that Obama is half black (he's also half white). Thanks...

[neffada53]

@HerBunk It's funny how some yell "Fox lies!" but when pressed to give just one example, they get angry, come up empty handed, and say something profound like "They lie about everything!" They talk about the Tea Party as if it's some radical, crazy, hateful racist movement, when they know so little about them. You can't change them, they're stuck in reverse. Just stick to your beliefs knowing you are on the right team.

[theyaden]

@tooleman How do you know what a klan ralley looks like?

I've always felt the form of argument where one side calls the other a racist or nutjob to be the recorse for those who cannot challenge their ideas yet want them silenced regardless. Learn about the subject your debating and you'll find you can attack the ideas rather than yelling random slurs at the people you disagree with.

[jay5775]

@tooleman Go f--k yourself.

[dpuknowme]

im a liberal. but this is lame and stupid. making fun of them is being like them

[HerBunk]

@dpuknowme I'm a conservative and sympathetic to the Tea Party and feel that if you can't laugh at yourself - somebody else will. There are other videos on my channel that make fun of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the liberals. If you feel guilty about ridiculing the conservatives take a few minutes to watch some of those that ridicule the liberals. Thanks for your interest.

[evanWith7]

This is funny, and I'm glad to see you can laugh at some of the stuff the tea party comes up with.

There really are people who pick and choose what facts they accept, and those people are useless to everyone.

[rrsrichard]

Love this, very creative and so funny.

[Padmepotter4986]

Nice video! Very funny and great graphics! I got to see the Capitol Steps when I was in Washington D.C. for a seminar. They're brilliant!

[causnr]

ACTUALLY all of the so called CRAZY things this animated old couple are saying....is pretty much TRUE! oh how they try to make it sound all crazy...WAKE UP

[causnr]

Oh this is just CRAP. Go ahead and MOCK us and call us crazy, and keep lying to us....because as you already know, one by one, you arrogant BASTARDS are being REMOVED. WE ARE TAKING THE COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!!!!

[shsheyda]

@causnr Back to what? The 1800s?

[keithehlert]

FUCK OFF FROM A PROUD TEA PARTY MEMBER AND A FORMER RETIRED MARINE,THIS SHIT AIN'T FUNNY....

[HerBunk]

@keithehlert If you can't laugh at yourself - everybody else will. Lighten up a bit and enjoy life. I'm a retired air force pilot and tea party member and try very hard to not take myself too seriously. There are other videos on my channel that make fun of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the liberals. Thanks for your interest.

[smartypants031383]

@keithehlert I think it's pretty damn funny

[stablejelly]

@keithehlert Thanks, after I got done laughing at the video, I got a second chuckle..

[shnoopydoo]

@keithehlert It's friggin hilarious!! And sad but true.

[browncoatkevin]

I always laugh at this song - it's so "out-there" that this Massachusetts liberal (with some centrist tendencies) finds it hilarious.

Great work syncing the audio and video to a really good Capitol Steps song!

[pyronaught]

I like your videos though. It's pretty neat how the software can make a still picture look like it is talking. I originally saw your one with Obama singing the Day Healthcare Died song, but can't find it now.

[hoadhead]

Keep this crap up and a democrat will never win an election again;-)!

[pyronaught]

Calling the opposition "nuts" seems to be the only response libtards have these days. The REAL nut jobs are people who just put blinders on and ignore everything going on in Washington so they can enjoy their blissful ignorance.

[HerBunk]

You are right. I'm one of the old nuts that I've depicted in this video. The strongest argument the liberals had against us as the oppostition was to discredit us as old, cantankerous and crazy. Thanks for your interest.

[pyronaught]

Calling someone an old nut or some other kind of personal insult is a distraction to avoid debating whatever the argument was. I see this all the time from the left. You have all the pre-programmed Glenn Beck bashers who's canned response to anything he says is always that he is crazy or fear mongering. It's a cop-out for people who are either too lazy or too ignorant to debate what was actually said.

[TheClunkingFist]

Same as for AGW: if you don't believe then you are a "denialist", then there is no need for the liberals to debate.

[USN1985]

Agreed.

[DarrySunshine]

@pyronaught

Libtard is MUCH more civilized than nut isn't it?

[evanWith7]

@pyronaught

And what's your response? To call them libtards!?

You gotta do better than that. I live 20 minutes from DC and everyone I spoke with I destroyed. I'm no liberal, but I could EASILY pick apart people's arguments using a liberal's logic.

If you want change, it has to come from the hearts of EVERYONE, and responding by calling people libtards only shows how shallow you and YOUR views are.

Wake up man, this isn't about left vs right. Stop alienating your brothers and sisters.

[jay5775]

@evanWith7 You're full of shit. You couldn't pick apart tissue paper soaked in sulfuric acid you nitwit.

[sfhappygal]

Maybe we should get tix for the Capitol Steps

[BuckFarack]

Outstanding
