This is one of my favorite signs from the "Orange County Tax Day Tea Party":
So, let's check out some of the bloggers covering the story. Doug Ross covers the CNN/Susan Roesgen controversy, in "Tea Parties, Code Pink and the sickness of the MSM":
Nearly 200,000 Americans showed up to protest high taxes in hundreds of cities around the country today.The New York Times and The Boston Globe ignored "Tea Parties" altogether. ABC and CBS reporters were nowhere to be found. NBC, on the other hand, simply made obscene references - using a tea-related colloquialism - to express its corporate disgust with America's founding principles.Doug has the transcribed Susan Roesgen's totally unprofessional "interview" with a Tea Party dad at the Chicago rally (see also, "CNN Correspondent Claims Tea Parties 'Anti-Government,' 'Anti-CNN'").
Truly unreal...

But I'll be back online later tonight.
This fringe movement represents about one-half the United States, including 29% of protesters being democrats. These people are emulating the founding fathers grievance: TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
ReplyDeleteThe MSM has become a national disgrace.
Davenport, Iowa tea party! Lots of "witty" people on hand!

The MSM just doesn't get it, Don. If only they knew how cool and smart all you guys are and how these protests are really going to start something...man, I wrote almost that entire sentence before I started laughing.
ReplyDeleteYou feign persecution really well, and until your side comes up with anything new to say I guess the rest of us will just have to get used to hearing it. Glad you had fun playing protester, bud.
This was a protest against government abuse and it started way before Obama. But Obama put this into 5th gear.

ReplyDeleterbosque, did you have a problem with Reagan and Bush the younger each doubling the national debt on thier watches? It's funny, but it seems that most folks on the right kind of revere Reagan and he wasn't really that fiscally conservative.
ReplyDeleteI have a problem with any President giving us more debt. However, all Presidents up to now have had a reasonable economic policy despite it. I have a really big problem with a President that uses a recession as an excuse to put us $12 Trillion dollars in debt just so he can expand the welfare state way beyond any framer of the Constitution could have imagined. Obama has put us on the road to socialism and now ostensibly according to the DHS, I am now an enemy of the state simply because I disagree with him. This should give pause to anyone because I know for a fact, you and the rest of the left would be going nuts had Bush done this to you.
