Teabagger Violence Mars Tax Day Rally With Sen. Marco Rubio

The Tea Party people and their esteemed list of speakers and of course CORPORATE AND LOBBYIST Sponsors were not without opposition. My wife and I ended up being the ONLY Anti-Propagandists to show up to this hypocritical... and mis-informing event.

I brought my trusty new megaphone with me and spent my time in between being PHYSICALLY ACCOSTED... by one individual whose overtly aggressive behavior we captured on video as we she committed her acts of violence upon my person as well as my wife. I with some degree of success through exercise of my first amendment rights was able to convey the hypocritical nature of the entire event which was sponsored by Corporate Sponsors including LOBBYING groups from DC e.g., Americans for Prosperity , Americans for Freedom, Robert Watkins and Company....




In the end I was confronted with a gentleman who was apparently was in charge of event security, although he later said he used to be in business doing diagnostic imaging and said that he would do MRI's for $245 dollars!

It was amazing to have all of these people (350-450tops), perhaps 15-20 of which were first accosting me. One gentleman first got right up in my face and screamed at the top of his lungs calling ...me an A**%ol@ repeatedly, then was grappling me around my shoulders when a woman came up and struck me in the arm with great purpose accompanied by a barrage of "colorful" expletives. When her "active "baiting" of this writer failed to elicit the retaliation so desired (so that her GROUP could jump on me in unison)... she turned her attention to my wife who was 1. Holding a large sign, 2. Holding a still camera and 3. Filming me with a hand held video camera. After taking a minimum 10 foot running start the attacker belted the video camera striking my wife in the face, leaving lipstick on the camera. She is observed in the video taking multiple shots at my wife with kicks and fists.

As I noted earlier the news coverage was markedly embellished as to NUMBERZ in attendance, attributing attendance numbers to "organizers" (5,000 attendees), without ANY critical analysis of said figures which were so exponentially OVERBLOWNNNN ...as to be beyond laughable.




As if people were BOTH coming and GOING from the event at a rate of ohhh about 1,000 people per hour... Where were the cars? The foundation of the coverage was ludicrous!

Just one MORE example of HOW... "IN THE TANK" the CORPORATE MEDIA is with the FARRR RIGHT. Relentlessly "PUMPING" Marco to the N'th degree!

Lastly, I had to deal with "Black Water Guy" (alias BWG), up in my face... telling me "You Don't Know WHO I Am and you're very fortunate..."

Well, if ya got a guy with a BUTTONED suit on a hot day with a very serious set of shades on, shaved head and a U.S. Marine lapel button on... I'm smart enough to know which one of us is... the "trained killer." And I told him so!!! So this is what America has come to? Get in line and SHUT UP! Or else??? Lots of church goers here too!

My message was about informing people in attendance how THEY were being used as PAWNS for the Corporation. THINK!!!!

True it was just my wife and myself, but I carry a BIG Megaphone. Here is the link for the corporate sponsors for this event. http://taxdaytampabay.com/OurSponsors.html

It is BLASPHEMY in the opinion of the Corporate Sponsored Organizers for their audience to hear about something like say Medicare for All... which is NOT Socialized Medicine, and clearly makes sense to the average person.

As someone who has a pretty fair understanding of formulation of National Health Policy... and IF Marco listened to what I was saying, would have heard me criticize ObamaCare... for the Insurance Industry CONCOCTED CORPORATIST policy that it is, while offering in the same breath the Medicare for ALL LOGICAL alternative.

As for the media reporting, I was not surprised that there was some LOOSE editing OUT of CONTEXT of the content of my remarks by the CORPORATE televised News Media, (FOX). IMAGINE THAT???

Of note, was the observation that the woman who assaulted my wife and myself appeared to get in to the SUV with Marco as he was departing the event. Questions, questions! Myself and two other witnesses observed this!

UPDATE... Charges weere pressed... we went to court and Ms. Lisa Baumberger the assailant depicted in the video with the red hair and all the stars and stripes coupled w/ her "colorful" language, pleaded NO CONTEST to the charges. Ms Baumberger was then sentenced to 6 months probation, anger management classes. A WIN for FREE SPEECH in the battle against FASCISM!

You're an idiot. While I don't condone violence against anyone who is exercising their 1st amendment right, you acting as though you WEREN'T acting like an ass clown who was TRYING to instigate a problem just lame. You knew exactly what you were doing. Don't act like no one on the left is ever violent. The difference is, you don't see conservatives going to YOUR events to be as obnoxious as possible and try to instigate violence.

[weberway]

Did you say anything practical even? You just went there to piss people off.

@TryYellowSnowCone

No You're thinking of George Bush who Bailed out the banks, get your facts correct. Obama bailed out the auto companies. When Bush started the bank bailouts he did it with no provision for the banks to pay back the money leaving us the taxpayers holding the bag.

@Shanbo26 Sorry, I meant yes THEY do.

[Shanbo26]

@berlee0301 Um, actually, yes we do. All the time.

And one more bit of silliness. I checked out your link of the "big bad evil corporations" sponsoring the event. Hmmmm. Let's see, I see a hot dog stand company, a few local restaurants, some accounting firms, some Tea Party related corporations and some various companies relating to being for lower taxes, and a local AM talk radio station. What the hell are you talking about? Which one of these corporations are fascist? Enlighten me.

[TryYellowSnowCone]

15 or 20 people? All I saw in the video were 2 people doing that, with a bunch of other people trying to figure out what was going on (mostly elderly women looking confused), Really??

[TryYellowSnowCone]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't some of the OWS people get help from some pro-bono sympathetic lawyers to form a corporation to handle their finances and donations? I'm pretty sure I read that.

[TryYellowSnowCone]

Another point: So what if a Corporation wants to sponsor an event. You could start a corporation if you wanted to. A corporation is just a way of legally organizing some sort of undertaking. I mean, a lot of bands are corporations, and even various governments, such as the city you live in are corporations. A corporation is neither moral or immoral. It's the people within the corporation that make it good or bad. Standing up there rallying about "corporations" makes no real point.

@detoth67 You know. . . as a third party (I'm not a liberal or conservative). I find that attitude is very strong with the left as well, if not even worse, since the media tends to play a lot softer with your side of the paradigm so you can get away with a lot more. I like some things from the Tea Party and some things from Occupy, but to be honest, Occupy has this really obnoxious quality as a movement that I can't get behind. You tend to try to stir things up to make your points.

[TryYellowSnowCone]

I would also like to question you referring to the Tea Party as "Fascism". The term Fascism refers to the merger of government and corporations. In other words, Obama is more of a Fascist than anyone right now, because he farms out all sorts of nasty stuff to shady corporations, such as data mining firms, and so on. He's also for bailing out banks, which is textbook fascism. Where is the merger of government and corporations in the Tea Party?

[TryYellowSnowCone]

@CorporatistNationTV I'm not for ANYONE attacking another person, regardless of what their beliefs are. That's simply un-American, but I find it really disingenuous when I hear progressives who claim that they are pure and lilly white 100 percent of the time.
