Treasure Coast Tea Party Harassed by City of Port St. Lucie.

Here is a video showing how the City of Port St. Lucie deliberately tried to silence the Treasure Coast Tea Party. at the Freedomfest. We were the largest group in the Elks Parade with over 200 participants in the parade and in the spectators. When it came to our information booth, they segregated us at the back of the event and labeled oursection, Section B (see the sign), they then Built ,with our tax dollars, an anti Tea Party sign and placed it in an area that would block people from seeing and locating our booth. The sign basically states that the only reason they allowed us to have a booth is because they did not want to be sued. The city of Port St. Lucie needs to know they do not have the right to silence our Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly. Please help us by calling or emailing the City Of Port St.Lucie:

"...cause they're purposely blocking the view of it."

Seriously!? Take two steps to your left or, as you'd probably prefer your right, and look! there's the booth that just moments before was behind the sign! Amazing how that works, huh?

This only confirms my thoughts that the Tea Partiers are nothing more than a bunch of anti-Obama whiners.

Thanks for the laugh though...

[iken3]

PZAAC: uh, what does this have to do with Obama? As usual, nothing inteligent to say from your kind except, "its GW's fault " or "Your just an Obama Hater". Grow up and get over it, we are here to voice opinion against any of the idiots in Congress who vote for bills with out reading and understanding them, reagrdless ot what party. One day the rest of you that are still sleeping will realize there is no difference between the D's and R's, hopefully before its too late.

[Howboutem]

You bunch of stupid whiners. You were allowed to demonstrate, and that sign didn't come anywhere near blocking your booth. In fact, I saw your teabaggers trying to block the Port St. Lucie sign by standing in front of it. I am certain that the original Boston Tea Party participants would look on your crying with complete disdain. No one whines more than crybaby conservatives.

[iken3]

We haved learned from the left. no more quiet discent hoping people will see the truth, its time to fight openly and loudly. We will use your tactics against you. The difference is that our fight has the Constitution behind it and you have a bunch of pie in the sky ideals behind you.

[iken3]

Can someone tell me why they say we are a "political" group? We dont endorse candidates, we dont support parties. We will hold any government official accountable for violations of their duty regardless of the letter after their name. The only special interest we represent is Freedom and the Constitution. Last I checked they are not political but AMERICAN.

[MYBADFISH1961]

iken..

has the city of PSL addressed the Tea Party's grievance in any way? other then their "defense" reply on you tube?

[iken3]

The moyor said she is sorry for the incident but there is a lot of misinformation/ So basically no, they just keep spinning and try to say they did nothing wrong, when they know they segrergated us, whis is illegal.

[in2dadark]

PSL needs to vote those dirtbags out of office yesterday...

[iprazhm]

It sure is telling when the only thing liberals have to say in their defense is anything negative about previous President Bush. No matter the topic or item, it is answered with 'well Bush did this...or Bush did that'. How painfully sad that they do not realize how painfully obvious it is that they have nothing viable, no foundation, no truth, no fact, just propoganda.....OLD propoganda at that!

[XelizabooXmclX]

hahahahaha win port st lucie win

[dlench]

The right to peacefully assemble was denigrated by the city's pathetic actions.

[master4444t]

@aDzOneBoY  Thank You !

[DavStaggs]

Freedom of speech is a right, and you can't have the First Amendment without the Second Amendment!

[aDzOneBoY]

ya, tea party movement was HI-JACKED.

ridiculous, people are still stuck on the false left right paradigm.

makes me sick

[aDzOneBoY]

omg, robw STOP bashing everyone's videos.

what are you, some idiot who wants to destroy the first amendment?

every video i go to your bashing.

get a life

[buffyporson1]

These corporate sheep had no place spieling their hate a this family event. You would be as embarrassed as I was if you realized how stupid you looked.

[robw1031]

AGREED this was a family event and they indeed soiled it with their hate rhetoric?

[robw1031]

The reason you were buried was because your philosophies are flawed and racists. Do you really think the majority of America wants to see your vitriol sighs and hear your soiled rhetoric? Come on this was an event for families. Believe it or not most of America is not with you You do realize that you are using a socialist computer to post a video on the socialist internet dont you. I am also hoping you are smart enough to realize that the tent you set up was on socialist property.

[BeadStallcup]

Screw these type of police organizations. They are part of the problem. They don't like the idea that control of the gov't might one day be back in the hands of the people, instead of them. Vote all city officials out and get your own people in the elected offices there!

[angustuba]

unfortunately alot of these tea party people are hypocrites, but some of them, like me, hate bush more than we hate obama, and we do hate obama >:) i wish the tea party movement was a 3rd party thing, and not something hijacked by the penis sucking republicans

[rickroller99]

these tea party people are hilarious. i won't even get into an argument over policy with them, i just suggest they actually compare how much taxes they paid in 2008 vs 2009 and see if anything changed it hasnt and to look up "the keating five" to see how fiscally responsible their boy john mccain was before they go criticizing obama for things he hasn't even done.

[crthealthy]

Seriously, you're complaining about the view of your sign??? I was at the parade with my 5 year old daughter and 7 year old niece. We were able to hear your chants, loud and clear..."WAKE UP AMERICA, IT'S NOT TOO LATE". This was just about the end of the parade, after lots of candy, clowns, puppies, laughter, and happiness, this was the end of PSL's Freedomfest parade. The kids were a bit confused asking why you were so angry at America and what did we do?

[pzaac]

See below.

Your use of right wing memes (e.g. without reading or understanding) does little to disabuse me of your "independent" cred. For the record, I haven't been sleeping but for the last eight years watched with alarm "your kind" dig this hole we're in. Tax cuts ain't the solution, in fact they did a lot to dig this hole. But you got yours didn't you?

[pzaac]

Whoa! iken3, I guess I offended your tender sensibilities, huh?

How can you see those signs comparing Obama to Hitler, Stalin, et al or the signs calling him a fascist, Muslim, socialist, etc. and not get a very strong anti-Obama vibe? I wonder if you called those people out and explained to them that they were at a "non-partisan" event.

Standing in front of a sign and complaining you can't see your booth when that's the only spot where the booth is obscured is world class whining.

Also.

[KTW5380]

If it was that big of a deal, why did noone cover it up or take it down !?!

[ARepublicanChristian]

fact is all these tea parties are organized by republicans who are attempting to trick people into voting them back into office. They said tea parties are "grass roots" which is a total lie is you look at the organizers and guest speakers. Bunch of sore loser right wing nutbags. Same idiots who tried to put that other blood thristy redneck Mccain into office. We the ppl voted yall asses out!!!

[bigc198]

Your comment is an example of how all this went down. Instead of upholding the values of our founding fathers you instead choose to abide with parties and whether or not you are conservative or liberal. Why not break the ties that separate us and stand up for the one thing we all believe in Freedom and the ability to bounce back from a depression or recession without having to be owned by the damn government whether they are republican, democrat, green, neutral or whatever!

[bigc198]

Just to clue you in... the majority of the people in our Tea Party Group did not agree with bush! This is not about democrat or republican or liberal or conservative. This is about the fact that as a nation our freedoms and futures are being destroyed by the government which just so happens to be democratic and liberal...so before you claim we worship W find out what we are about first!

[1149ricko]

I do not spend much time trying

to write to meet anyones satndards, maybe I should give it a little more thought uh whereuh is my uh telepromptur uh did ya fix my bitches uh teleprompter uh yet? uh that uh question is uh above uh my pay grade uh probably uh the only uh question I uh answered uh troothh fully but uh they is so freaking

ignorant they will uh vote for uh me uh anyway. now uh ask me uh the questions we uh rehearsed cracker.

[Howboutem]

You might try learning how to spell "fascists" correctly first. Go back to school.  Maybe you'll pick up enough of an education to learn how to spell, and maybe even to think your way out of conservative stupidity.

[Howboutem]

"To" ignorant?  If you can't get simple grammar right, you have no business calling anyone ignorant. That's TOO stupid for words. No wonder you people worship morons like W and Palin.
