Oklahoma City Tea Party highlights

[Lllburns]

Love to all.

This Tea Party is the ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS.

Yes, it makes sense to want to cut taxes and excess spending.

But you wont ask ONE TINY F***ING CRUMB back from the CORRUPTION and LOOPHOLES and ENORMOUS WEALTH of CORPORATE ELITES.

You take it ALL OUT ON US WORKERS.

And it's not just money.

In WI they agreed to paycuts---but you had to SLASH AMERICAN WORKERS RIGHTS.

But I hope youll keep it up!

DONT STOP!

You are making the GOP into a GLOBAL JOKE.

[Descaty]

Not all, but a Majority of blanks (whites) have selective memory an find it conveniant to not be responsible for thier Gangs' (republicans) action's. It's in thier History an Bloodstream to make thier dreams our nightmares...I can smell the trash inside of them.

[tremer88]

how come we can give billions and billions to bail out banks and gm and we cant even fund education and local municipalities?

[MyTotalRemedy]

I wonder how the Tea Party's doing in Oklahoma? On one hand, they're one of the most conservative states. On the other hand, they're one of the most conservative states. :0 Their public officials are James Inhofe, Tom Coburn, and Mary Fallin. Not many liberals to rail against in that state.

[MrEatonbeaver]

Where were these mother fuckers when shit for brains made us a debtor nation to Mexico? Billions of dollars just lost in iraq, much less the trillion account for. What did you hear from the tea baggers-fucking crickets.

[loonmaniac]

Yessuh, th' man is PURE EVIL - a ravin' psychopath. He’ll start a civil war in th' next few years! John-Boy Voight said this hyar last year an' ah reckon th' man is a prophet, although it’s not fun t'lissen t'a doom & gloom Cassan'ra.

[rockinraun]

physically conservative??? I guess that means 'Don't vote for fat people!' What a brain dead moron. I have to assume she means fiscally conservative. So tell me what spending would you like to cut? I can't wait to leave this state.

[salbella50]

Ok..Ok ...who the fuck said you white people supposed to be running the U.S...that's the problem..you all think that, for the rest of the existing of man you suppose to the leaders...bullshit..not in this day and age..

[SPAGHETTIMONSTER1]

@salbella50 Bush lied, Obama lied, W.T.F. I really don't give a crap who's in charge (IF THEY ARE HONEST OR AT LEAST KEEP THERE WORD) they? whoever they are sucked Obama into the same old shit. or he likes it? look how spineless he was about B.P. oil.he should have took over, and used ALL America to fix it., you sound racist

[salbella50]

This country was founded on being a RACIST ass COUNTRY....stfu...and.....ITS ALWAYS GOING TO BE BUSH'ES FAULT.....

[haibane13]

@salbella50

This country was founded on workers and limited government . The first person to die for this nation was black during the Boston Massacre and you just threw shit in his face .

[salbella50]

@haibane13 ....slaves died before that.....

[haibane13]

@salbella50 noticed I said for THIS nation and not for the british colonies , but that point aside you would still be wrong . British soilders died perserving the british colonies in the French and Indians wars and settlers also died perserving the small towns way before that . The first slaves in this nation were WHITE, black slaves did not come till later . People seeking freedom died first for this land and has stood that way for years . Next time be little more clear .

[ptmacman9]

President Obama will be re-elected....because in two years...you fucks will be brain dead...

[SPAGHETTIMONSTER1]

@ptmacman9 , lol. not me, he lied, Obama's not a man of his word. proved it in the first couple months, I was hoping he would keep his word. just another big talk no action kinda guy... he should have stomped all over B.P. oil. (what a wussy) !!

[Earchiel]

I am glad it wasn't that big.

[lastpatriot4America]

Reptilians and Demonrats. all the same

[salbella50]

Where were these motherfuckers when Bush was in office..bailing out the banks when he was in office....white people are so predicable....Geeeezz.

[mjconley12]

@salbella50 And black people are so predictable also...

[salbella50]

Only white american is MAD.....if President Obama...didn't do nothing you crackers will still be bitchin...SHUT THE FUCK UP.....

[mjconley12]

@salbella50 Ah, yes a black racist. Fuck you bitch. I'm ashamed you voted for Obama because of the color of his skin.

[lordblazer]

@mjconley12

You're the racist buddy.. In fact those slick racist remarks that accuse black ppl of being racist is indeed offensive.

[mjconley12]

@lordblazer No, I think you're the racist. You're a racist moron. And I'm glad you're offended. You have the right to be offended in America.

[illmagnified]

@salbella50 You shut the fuck up you bigot faggot. Obama has sold out the middle class which is the back bone of the United States, to the Banking Elite through the biggest robbery in history. He is a Corporatist. You have no idea what i'm talking about because you are ignorant and blinded by race. Obama has gone against the will of the people in Health Care, he is going to shove Amnesty through the system and further bankrupt our futures. Your a moron, go sit and wait patiently for your welfare

[Linguiphile]

Rock on Rockholm! I was a Republican for 15 years, then switched to libertarian several years ago. The Tea Party Movement is anything but a passing fad.

Oneman, both you and I are angry at W for acting like a Progressive, ignoring the constitution and racking up debt! Bush may have 2bled the debt, but Obama 2bled even that!

Wallymcwonton, keep up the fact-filled logical arguments--these are what the Leftists will never have on their side--and why they resort to yelling and false accusations.

[ganymedeIV4]

all were all agreed this annoying fad is over with now.

[dawson01912]

MAD.............mad stupid rednecks. Great.

My question is, how many of them voted for Fuckface W. Bush? And how many times?

[bigstudft]

We need to refuse the new Oklahoma license plates - Tea party em. Keep the tags we had when the country was free, issued during the bush years. Don't let them take this right away from you. Tea party the tag agency!

[onemanband1963]

The person they put in office, George W, doubled the national debt during his 8 yrs in ofc and borrowed more $ than all his predecessors combined.  I wonder if these people know that.

[wallymcwonton]

I love ignorance. Obama has been our president for 6 months and he has spent more money than every other united states president COMBINED. If he wants to through with his 4 trillion budget it would take all Americans making 75k and above being taxed 100% of their income to match the budget. He is also on route to DOUBLE the nation debt in the next year. Please tell me how your 'savior' is fixing America in the least bit. If anything hes already setting a debt for generations to come to pay off.

[onemanband1963]

George W DOUBLED the national debt during his tenure & borrowed more than all of his predecessors COMBINED. The primary reason we have a President Obama is because of the colossal failures of his administration.

[Rockholm66]

Hey there dip stick. W is not in office any more. Put blame where it is due. Obama, and the rest of the Lefticals have tripled the Deficit, in 6 months. What the hell will it be in 4 years? Quit playing the blame game, and start being an American!

[wallymcwonton]

Thats a typical democratic excuse. "ITS GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT!!" Its been NINE months since hes been President, when are you going to let it go that its not his fault. Actually the house market collapse is actually Bill Clinton's fault, check your facts oneman.

[TheTexan77]

OMG i'm so embarrased to be from this state; after seing this I realize we really are just a bunch of truck driving, tobaco chewing, boot wearing, rednecks.

[99z35]

we are at war and this turkeys elected live like kings we are lied to for generations ONLY because we ARE DIVIDED!!! UNITE UNITE it is the only way. WE need no government representatives needs no white house! You have no idea what a free world is all about. Freedom is not needing government we are so primitive. Money the big antichrist. LETS change it and lets end the goverment. All we need is peace keeping citizens to negociate peace around earth maintain order in America united. We are slaves!

[wallymcwonton]

99z35. Peace is a non-realistic ideal, as long as people have diffrences, there will be war. Get over it. You have obviously never traveled to a impoverished nation, go visit somewhere such as China or Indonesia such as I have and then tell me we arent free.

[bjobbins]

Obama want us to be like Indonesia and China, then he'll be satisfied. He's trying to get us there as fast as he can. He think he should go back to Indonesia, if he likes it so much. God, dear Father, help us, don't leave us alone with this madman.

[dustyncarol]

American pepole out there do your best you can with what you got and manage what you can . And when its time to relect do it right this time . No president is ever going to be perfect .But they are some that are better than others and obam is not one of those good ones . In the nexted few years you will find out what tuff times are if any of you that have not witness hard times in your life . Waite till winter time comes and your electric bill goes threw the roof .Inflation is going to be big.

[cmjw25]

all this for someone race look if people need money then start a business.

[xeroxed86]

Yes because Iraq cost NOTHING!!!

[Branden123100]

Obama has spent more in one month than Bush did on the wars and for Hurrican Katrina

[chatahsooner]

sad day for Oklahoma....all white people....where's the minorities? Bush left the US in this condition. How can you blast the new administration. Obama only been in office for about two months.

[Alexn1067]

obama in office for two months and look at the damage he has done and what he proposes for the future.

you blame bush for this? okay then I will blame clinton for 9/11

[redrivergrl]

Hey Shepp...why don't you mature a little bit. People have the right to protest and if anyone sounds ignorant, it's you. April 15th, there were thousands at the Capitol and they weren't morons. They were respectful and polite. The grounds weren't full of trash when we left and everyone had a good time. Is that what bothers you? Do you feel threatened? Typical of Oklahoma? The Tea Parties went on all over America! Deal with it!

[shepp77]

Oh look! It's a gathering of republicans who are angry that we elected a black president. Typical of Oklahoma. You make us look really bad. Get informed of the issues please! How easily you forget what happened during the previous administration. This nation has to recover, and how else do you expect it to happen? Please get educated and stop gathering your flocks to pass your ignorance.

[bigsmallfish]

You are absolutely right, there are only two political philosophies, socialism and racism. Quit the hurtful name calling and use a little intelligence to debate political differences.

[Alexn1067]

racist racist racist, oh there just mad because the president is half black

WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE A DOSE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE AND GET INFORMED YOURSELF, STOP GOING FOR THE CHEAP COP-OUT

it has nothing to do with his race NOTHING AT ALL we don't like him becuase his economic policy will run this country into the ground.

you think its bad now, just wait 4 yrs when gas is 5 dollars a gallon because we haven't made more refineries and inflation has gone up due to obamas money printing

[sunnyday126]

Just so you know, this is the February 2009 tea party and not the April 15 one. The local media reported that approximately 5,000 people attended the tax day tea party.

[o0xst]

Note that CMA Strategies lobbyist Pat McFerron is in the crowd. He was the head lobbyist for the now $1/4billion NBA to OKC (they were coming anyway!!) Tax.... Only taxes that benefit the wealthy are good!!! Wake up!!!!

[o0xst]

Shortly after the Murrah Bombing, the Koch empire brought their vast art collection to OKC to "cheer us up". It was really just damage control, as David Koch was co-founder of The John Birch Society, a group that helped McVeigh form many of his views. Now, the same people are getting white folks all riled up again, and in the same fashion. This thing happening here would be like a saudi funded anti-capitalism rally taking place 'round the corner from the WTC...totally sick. Wake up people

[fieroyates]

What a turnout. Tens and tens of people.

[POPEWORSHIPER]

hahahah, my thoughts exactly...hahaahah. These fucking idiots REALLy believe the country is going to stand behind them, after they supported the bush War on Error. It's nice to see americans have finally smartened up to recognize a hot steaming pile of shit when they see one.

[luvlife347]

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PAY YOUR TAXES!!!

[POPEWORSHIPER]

TEA party protestors: "let's wait a DECADE before protesting uncontrolled government spending"....if you morons wouldn't make it so obvious you just hate having a black president, by FAILING to protest the uncontrolled BUSH SPENDING....you wouldn't be such a joke.

[fieroyates]

I shaved my balls for this

[thevaliar]

LOL! Who's saying Obama is the closest thing to the messiah??? The ONLY people I've heard saying that are Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

[thevaliar]

that's very sad.

The thing is that if these people actually paid attention instead of listening to liars like Michelle Mankin and Rush Limbaugh, they would realize that their taxes are not increasing at all. Most of them are probably getting tax CUTS.

95% of America is getting tax cuts. Because that other 5% owns Fox News, they report whatever they want and the sheep believe it.

Think for yourself people. PLEASE

[DrivinWest]

You're 100% right. This has nothing to do with taxes, it's all about sour grapes.

Gov't spending, and a lot of it, is a proven way to get out of a recession. It's a staple of economic theory. Right now it's absolutely critical.

[POPEWORSHIPER]

Oh wow, a WHOLE 50 people...hahahahahahaa. what a bunch of stupid fucking mutants.

[chinasocialunrest]

WHO YOU CALLING STUPID, 50 PEOPLE?

Try like 934 people, its growing nationally if you were smart enough you would know what is happening nationally...

[HighHeadJim]

Why even reply to the drone?

[POPEWORSHIPER]

Now these idiots are protesting? after 8 years of Bush and his War on ERROR...these jackesses & fuck-wits come out to protest uncontrolled spending. Fuck you and all these stupid jackasses. Christians are so god damned stupid.

[jelynlethe1st]

Shut the piehole d*ckhead

[armandx10]

Thanks for vomiting your hate all over this page. Next time however, stick with your kiddy porn and leave the politics to people who don't require profanities to express their opinion.

[POPEWORSHIPER]

You bring up the christian value of pedophelia....and I'm the one who'se "vomited" on this page. Since we're now talking about christianve values like PEDOPHELIA....let's talk about the others such as: wife-beatng (rule of thumb), slavery (in bible), and incest (adam & eve populating the earth). Good Day WIERDO.

[o0xst]

The so called left on the coasts has offered ZERO support to progressive movements in the bible-belt. It is disgusting and I put much blame on them.

[POPEWORSHIPER]

You obviously have a seletive memory. Either that or you're just plain stupid and don't remember the mass protests to the Bush administrations WAR ON ERROR...an unecesary war in a place that was never "stockpiling wmds." You idiots REALLY think anyone is going to back you after you supported the unecessary war in iraq that drained national wealth, while costing countless limbs and lives? Now you want to protest unecessary spending? ahahahah, what a fucking joke.

[okiedokie1969]

This was not the rally from 4/15/2009.

[OrneryOkie]

this is not today's rally. Today's rally had 5-7,000 people in attendance. We have been heard!

[vikingjustice15]

When you people are ready to raise the bar, to a ROAR let me know I'll be there. we need not whisper while the Obama team roars with laughter at you, We need to make the fucking ground shake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vikingjustice15]

Iam so disapointed!!! These people do NOT speak for me>>> where the hell is their passion??? where is there voice??? they sound like whimpering mice! this is the best they can do??? I am disapointed sorely disapointed!!!!!! And she's wrong, (we are left with change in our pockets...only change!!! The Obama team are peeping out of the window to get a good laugh!

[kamiakpartigirl]

I like that woman!! She said it all

TEA party today!! I'm so excited!

This isn't pathetic. What is pathetic is the millions of Americans who collect Governement handouts. I would be so ashamed of myself if I ever took a dime of Government money

[phidelt85]

People call this pathetic, but honestly when was the last time anyone has heard about a mass protest in OKC. Most Americans don't have time to gather for protest rehearsals because they are working to support the people that are on the streets protesting most of the time. If someone really wants to see pathetic, check out the video of the anti-tea party rally in Washington D.C.

[2yniq4u]

This is so pathetic! (And, yes, funny.) If you want to see a really funny conservative effort at a "protest" check out the tea party in NY City.  These folks just do not have the spirit of true, heartfelt protest, and the desperate attempt to scrape up a bit of it, makes them look like clowns.

[Reggie1971]

Give them time. Conservatives don't have the same degree of experience that America hating Berkley hippies do at protest, because they more often than not have to go to work.

[sandmanhopes]

OMG too funny I just found out you are protesting the bush tax code no tax payer will be paying a new obama tax rate to funny you guys lol found at Cnn MSNBC and huffington post OMG what a riot you are protesting bush not obama lolololol

and dont forget if you have medicare and dont want socializm better get off it cause it is socialist

[Piratejenny25]

This is patheic

[inlukh]

I bet you guys share a same "vibe" together too.

[patriot4u]

Drop the personal income tax implement impost/tariffs on imported items, this worked for 137 years. Implement a linear graduated corporate tax 15-65% based on % profit from foreign labor. Round up the bankers, enablers of this mess give due process and a full public trial, reopen Alcatraz as a criminal zoo for all to see. Turn FED, Enron, Wall st. offices into crime museums, to discourage future criminals. Return ill gotten gains to the people, then throw a big party, aim for the stars!

[strawberryhellkitten]

Obama and his gang in Washington D.C. has SOLD our nation. We are so owned by China that they are coming over and touring the country in luxury buses to scope out their new property. Anybody read Eliot Spitzer's Slate article on the tens of billions of our money that AIG has funnelled to other countries? Britain, France, and Germany's banks are grabbing our money in a full payback from AIG. Goldman Sachs is also getting 100% re-imbursement from our paychecks.

[nkcmee]

good job

[chevyguyblue]

Its wonderful to see folks rejecting the Obama taxation without representation...feels great to be American!!!! Hope to god these protests thoughout the country do real work in repealing what harm this Administration will cause in the future,to all tax payers.

[jefmaze]

chevyguyblue -

You are and were represented, it's called an election and your guys and their ideas lost . This whole "Tea Party " thing makes a mockery of the original Tea Party.

[Reggie1971]

So let me get this straight. We can't protest people who have been elected?

Ever read about "redress of grievances"? I'll give you a hint, you won't find it in Das Kapital.

[jefmaze]

So what have you got besides "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Any new ideas at all?

We didn't think so. So please by all means publicly grieve for the failure of 25 years of conservative rule.

[Reggie1971]

Suspend the payroll tax for lower and middle class tax payers for a year.

It won't likely happen because it doesn't provide the same sort of political benefits as handing out taxpayer money to a special interests, but.....it's an idea.

BTW, you've got to be kidding if you think that for all of the past 25 years the conservative philosophy has prevailed. The government has persistently gotten bigger.

[jefmaze]

Thats not a new idea at all and in the end futile because any money will likely be saved to prepare for rainier days Thus not stimulating the economy. In the end you're right back where you started and oh btw nice little side benefit for you conservatives is the lack of funds through payroll taxes would undoubtedly decimate the social service sector of our government. No thanks pal. As to government growing all i can say is I can't help it your conservative leaders ultimately screwed ya.

[darenjoe]

Small crowd, but This crowd will grow.

[myvision239]

Great party gang! Keep it up!

[GrimmMylene]

I am loving it too.. Go America !!!!! Yoo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am becoming proud again to be an AMerican... Liberty and our Constitution as it is meant to be...

[PatriotSue]

I am loving this. Americans standing up FOR LIBERTY!!!! USA!!!! USA!!!! USA!!!! USA!!!!

[Adimari]

While presuming to socialize this country, Mr. Obama forgets one thing. A growing number of Americans are still aware of their rights and will speak out. This Republic has worked for 233 years, and nobody, no matter how charismatic or eloquent can move to destroy it in one month. The flame of Liberty burns bright.

[fredhayek]

What an awesome turnout! Thank you, Oklahoma patriots!

[silentonall]

This is just getting started.....and it's about time!!

[GodEqualsLove4ever]

oh, but didn't you know, according to President BO, 'credit is the lifeblood of the economy!' . . . unbelievable!

[GodEqualsLove4ever]

Thank God the taxpayers, "we the People", are making their voices heard!
