Right-wing ‘tea party’ protest in Orlando features signs calling for the impeachment of President Obama.
Right-wing ‘tea party’ protest in Orlando features signs calling for the impeachment of President Obama.
After accepting illegal and unethical behavior for years from President Bush, the right wing has finally come around to advocating for the impeachment of a President. On Sat. March 21, more than 4,000 people gathered in Orlando for a “tea party” protest to denounce what they called “wasteful Washington spending.” The Orlando Sentinel quoted one attendee saying, “They need to shove that bum out,” referring to Obama. The signs that were distributed said “Obama Bin Lyin’ IMPEACH NOW”:
The “tea party” protests nationwide are being coordinated by the conservative public relations firm Freedom Works, which is run by former Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX). The tea parties are also being supported by Newt Gingrich, through his organization American Solutions For Winning the Future. Members of Congress, such as Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH), have appeared at previous rallies. In addition, Fox News’ Glenn Beck promotes the protests, and has launched a website publicizing the events.

March 23rd, 2009 at 11:57 am4000 morons, who vote against their own well being, but like being spied and lied to…
…F them.
March 23rd, 2009 at 11:58 amThey’re baaaaaack! These are the same loons from the Palin / McCain rallys calling Obama a terrorist and calls to kill him.
What are they protesting? Taxes? Their taxes were LOWERED under the Stim Bill to less than during the Bush W admin.
Are they all execs making over $250k protesting the marginal tax rate hike of 4% back to 1993 levels?
Oh, right, I read the rest of the story … It’s more ginned-up baloney from Armey, Gingrich, Bech & Malkin. Sort of like the Drill Baby Drill success, eh?
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:00 pm5000 US Soldiers killed in a war that shouldn’t have been fought: fine

Nice priorities, there
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 pmThe Tea Party excuse, is just a cover. You know what they are really protesting. :-) You, know…its about the whole ‘Black’ thing. Idiots.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 pmOut of curiosity what exactly would Obama be impeached for?
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 pmThese are hollow calls from partisans. Don’t worry about it. They tried the same thing with the Bush administration, but nothing ever happened.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:04 pmAnd here I just got done saying that I was surprised they hadn’t started this already… They are so predicable. Yawn!

Most likely they are looking to impeach him for Pulling out of Iraq,transparency,his bailout plan vs the Shrubs, the fact that he is a Democrat..This Tea Party is also a new show for the Republiscum Channel, what a hoot these people are,they fail see that if he fails the whole country fails and in which case the REICH Wing goes down with the ship to,F&^%ing idiots.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:08 pmNeedless to say, if there was a Republican dominated Congress…there would sure as hell be impeachment proceedings.
Reagan arms death squads in El Salvador and, against the Boland Act, in Nicaragua…no impeachment proceedings.
Bush I invades Panama without Congressional support…no impeachment proceedings.
Clinton gets freaky with an intern…impeached, tarred, and feathered.
Bush II lies to the American public, invades Iraq leaving 35000 American and up to 1m Iraqi casualties, spies on American citizens—and so on—…no impeachment proceedings.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:08 pmFor not being a GOP conservative, not being American enough, being a terrorist, socialist, Nazi, communist.
Geex, Krazny, don’t you watch Fox News at ALL??
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:09 pmI wish a reporter would ask each person interviewed what his or her hometown is. I’d bet these were not locals.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:09 pmWhat took them so long? They waited 61 days???
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:11 pmWOW !!! The lunatics are exercising self-control, now!!

There is one thing predictable with these people: They love being ignorant. This is not something to brush off. This is a big old monkey on the back of America. As backup reminds us all too often, it’s all about education.

You really can’t be serious… These are not the same people who wanted Bush impeached for being a freaking war criminal. They are the ones who supported those actual crimes, while demanding a b.j. be grounds for impeaching Clinton.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:11 pmJohn Stewart’s piece on ‘teabagging’ the White House is comedy gold, tho.
I’m sure that the Daily Show is thanking its lucky stars that people like this not only exist, but have the financial backing to keep themselves in the news.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:12 pmgotta love the stupidity of the teabaggers.
hey! those mccain/palin rally racists had to find somewhere to go
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:13 pmgood luck with impeachment.

That cannot be said often enough. The lack of education in our country will be its ultimate demise.
I love what Melinda Gates says about what needs to be done to reform our education system. Basically, stop looking to the past for answers. No kidding!

Ok.
Let Pelosi put impeachment back on the table. Let some Republican introduce an impeachment bill in the House. Hopefully anyone who signs on to such a bill will not be reelected.
Meanwhile, I’m wondering what took them so long? I expected the Republicans to call for Obama’s impeachment from Day One!
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:16 pmJust look at all those uninformed patriots. All whitey’s and nowhere to go except a ‘tea party’. They have truly hit bottom.

March 23rd, 2009 at 12:22 pmI envision a counter-rally. A car-size tea bag. Inside a very powerful speaker, a CD player, and a one track CD containing nothing but people laughing. Kind of like the old laughing bags.
That’s all this deserves.

Out of curiosity what exactly would Obama be impeached for?
_____________________________________________________________
Doesn’t matter — these idiots don’t even know the meaning of the word.
But those of us who DO know the meaning of the word can’t help but notice how cheapened it’s become, to the detriment of justice in general.
During Nixon’s time, impeachment was reserved for serious crimes and misdemeanors by the president. Articles of impeachment were voted on by House Judiciary Committee members who truly believed Nixon had abused his power. By the time these articles were to be voted on by the entire House, both parties were set to support them, and Nixon resigned.
During Clinton’s time, impeachment was used as a political tool to bring down a president purely for political reasons. The whole affair was never anything but extremely partisan.
The Clinton impeachment managed to cheapen the process so badly that the option was taken “off the table” for various Bush/Cheney abuses of power, since any effort at impeachment would be viewed as petty and partisan.
Now, the term has become so meaningless that citizens now call for it merely because they don’t like a president’s policies (or they have been told not to like them, even if they don’t understand them) — whether or not there’s any belief the President has committed a crime is irrelevant.
It’s kind of like “Democrat Party” — these are just idiots showing off their lack of education.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:23 pmHmmm – Boston Tea Party — a bunch of guys wore a disguise to shift the blame for their illegal acts to a minority group. They were protesting taxation without representation.
We have taxation with representation. In fact, lots of Republicans voted for a 90% tax on AIG bonuses.
Question – how does President Obama’s actions rise to “high crimes and misdemeanors” when he cannot initiate a bill of revenue?
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:25 pmThe GOP also appears to be behind a popular video promoting the tea parties, but they won’t admit it.

Right right right… that’s why Botch once had an approval rating above NINETY PERCENT. Folks were jes’ out ta git him right from the start. Amazing how many forget that little fact, the NINETY PERCENT approval rating, when it doesn’t jive w/ their latest FALSE NARRATIVE.
BTW, has anyone explained to GOOPers what “tea bagging” is slang for?
Later all! Make sure ya git the trolls by the scruff of their greasy necks, drag ‘em over to the nearest steaming pile of Cheney, and rub their noses in it, over and over and over again.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:28 pmAre we supposed to be impressed? Thousands protested the Iraq War the other week and MSM wouldn’t even cover it. They are to busy talking about the AIG ’scandal’. What’s the matter MSM? Can find a missing white chick?
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:29 pmHere’s a breakdown of exit polling of elections thru 2008. (scroll down for education)
http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/national-exit-polls.html
In terms of education between Democrats and Republicans it’s relatively even.
high school graduates, some college and college graduates are basically split 50/50.
post graduates and those that didn’t finish high school trend Democrat.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 pmRepublic. Obama won’t be impeached. Clinton should not have been impeached. People were calling for Bush to be impeached for years.
It’s noise. It’s predictable. It’s meaningless.
Obama is doing a good job. The calls for impeachment are a reflection of a highly partisan atmosphere. Fueled by both sides.

March 23rd, 2009 at 12:38 pmBTW, what is that Obama’s been lying about anyway?
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:39 pmFrom their website:
“What We Do
FreedomWorks recruits, educates, trains and mobilizes hundreds of thousands of volunteer activists to fight for less government, lower taxes, and more freedom.”
Under the last 8 years of republican rule
Bigger government and less regulation (the cause of our current fiasco)
Lower taxes for the wealthy and token gestures for the middle class (those ridiculous stimulus checks etc.)and a huge increase in the federal deficit (taking war costs off of the budget, etc.).
Less freedom in the name of “freedom”(domestic spying, indefinite detention, etc.).
So does that mean they were for impeaching Bush when he was president and are willing to go after him now?????
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:41 pmbackup Says: It’s noise. It’s predictable. It’s meaningless.
You still don’t get it. The problem isn’t calls for Impeachment, the problem is that Clinton was impeached over a b.j., but shouldn’t have been, while Bush should have been I]impeached for high crimes against the country (which he actually did commit), but wasn’t. They aren’t the same thing at all. Sheesh…

Well said Guido! I’m proud of you today!!
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:43 pmI can’t imagine that’s going to happen, but anything is possible.
Cramer absolutely dropped the ball the first time. Here’s the defense he should have had:
http://www.maniacworld.com/cramer-fights-back-against-stewart.html
Cramer wasn’t prepared for the ambush. But now, he should let it go.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:46 pm“less government” means more big business, and we see how well that worked out. Obama was dead right – it’s not about the size of our government, but the quality of it.
“less government” also ignored the Preamble of the Constitution which clearly calls for a competent govertnment to protect the people, ensure justice and our general welfare.
“less government” in a democracy, where we are the government, is self-defeating.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:46 pmI notice that the two idjits in the right-hand panel of the picture are desecrating the US flag — one’s holding it upside down, and the other is mooning the flag by putting into his/her back pocket.
(In best JK shrill imitation voice): Why do teabaggers hate America and the US flag?
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:47 pmHere we go again: Republicans don’t like being out of power and will declare war on their own country to regain it.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:47 pmunbelievable. you are right. Clinton should not have been impeached.
If Bush should have been impeached, you should ask the question why. Because for the last 2 years of the administration, Democrats had control of Congress.
They didn’t impeach him, because they didn’t have the case to do it.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:48 pmDick Armey and Newt Gingrich? Give me a freaking break. Why don’t they rename the GOP to Whig and be done with it. They have nothing to offer but distasteful bigotry and hatred. No ideas but repeats of twenty years ago. They completely ignore the failures of the past eight years of their leadership. Delusion is not a virtue.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:49 pmbackup Says: Cramer wasn’t prepared for the ambush.
Ambush? Cramer admitted to watching Stewart’s show. Only a complete moron wouldn’t have known what was coming…
Stop making excuses for your role models. No matter how many rematches there are, Cramer will never best Jon Stewart.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:50 pmrhf. coming from you, that means a lot. ; 0

March 23rd, 2009 at 12:51 pmbackup Says: They didn’t impeach him, because they didn’t have the case to do it.
Nope. They didn’t do it because they didn’t have enough votes.

And again, you avoid the REAL POINT, because it doesn’t jive w/ your newest FALSE NARRATIVE.
People only went after Botch when they realized how much he was lying about Iraq, and also tried to snowball the 9/11 Commission, and then bungled Katrina, and tortured, and DoJ-gate took place, and then there was the wiretapping mess… and the endless crushing deficits… and Plame…
Sorry, b-cup, but yer a phony, just like yer story.
Botch started out wildly popular. NINETY PLUS PER CENT! And ended up, where, 24, 25%?
Don’t let him (b-cup) get away this sort of lying, folks.

____________________________________________________________
“Ambush”? You’re kidding — right? An ambush is a surprise attack. An ambush is unexpected.
Are you trying to tell us that Cramer had NO IDEA why he was asked onto the show? Was Cramer truly unaware of the criticisms Jon Stewart had already given CNBC in general and his show in particular? Did Cramer think Stewart just wanted to get his views on what teams would make it into the NCAA tournament?
You’re right that Cramer wasn’t prepared. He should have been, and he has no excuse for not being prepared. But we can’t call it an “ambush” merely because Stewart did his homework and Cramer didn’t.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:55 pmThey can’t make the case to the American people?
If Bush is guilty of criminal wrong doing, the Congress has a moral obligation to pursue it.
Democrats hold the White House, the House, and the Senate. Obama has high approval and Bush high disapproval.
What is stopping them?
A lack of evidence.
I understand the partisan desire to believe in Bush criminality. But, that’s all it is; partisan desire.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:56 pmDr. Hussein Matt Says: Reich-wing revisionists for some reason “think”, or just desperately want to believe, that the Democrats had some overwhelming powerful majority from 2006 to 2008.
It takes an extreme amount of self-denial to be a Republican. If 1 person in the Senate, who was actually campaigning for the Republican candidate, some how represents an overwhelming majority, then there truly is an alternative universe where these folks reside…
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:58 pmmissmolley. come on. Stewart’s show is on the Comedy Channel.
What Stewart did to Cramer was nowhere near comedy.
It was a tongue lashing.
It was a tongue lashing not because Cramer and CNBC weren’t doing their jobs, but because Cramer and Santelli were questioning the President.
Cramer went to the Daily Show expecting a Leno experience and got more of a Springer type treatment.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:01 pmThe idiot got to lie for eight (8) straight years without any confrontation of any kind. I hate to say it but Obama’s so called drive for change is off to a stagnant start. It does not seem likely that Obama will be able to curb that suffocating Zionist grip.
Change will have to start with the American people. No more relying on the government and the politicians who all walk with the star of David flea collar. We’re the ones that have to change first, start protest, revolutionize!
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:03 pmbackup Says: If Bush is guilty of criminal wrong doing, the Congress has a moral obligation to pursue it.
Yes they did, and that’s EXACTLY why the Republicans lost their power – for abusing it. They are now the minority party for failing to do their jobs. We fired a lot of them.
You can’t impeach Bush now. He’s hasn’t been President in 2 months…
There’s enough evidence. There just weren’t enough votes because Republicans played partisan politics.
The American people wanted Bush impeached. But we don’t control that directly. Only indirectly by firing Republicans in 2008. Should be more in 2010.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:03 pmWow. The Rethuglicans are getting back to the kinds of things they’re good at. Like lynch parties….
Cheers,
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:05 pmLet them exercise their First Amendment rights. So we can get a laugh. With an approval rating at 68%, the only impeachment we’re looking at is maybe the governor of S.C.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:05 pmc’mon backup – that wasn’t an ambush and you know it!
Cramer was unprepared, period.
He should have known, the whole world knew, what he was going to be facing. Jon had been talking about it all week.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:06 pmbackup Says: I understand the partisan desire to believe in Bush criminality. But, that’s all it is; partisan desire.
I voted for Bush in 2000. I wanted him impeached in 2005. Nothing partisan about it.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:07 pmunbelievable. I agree with you that republicans lost power in ‘06, ‘08, and probably will in ‘10.
But, that is way different that Bush being impeached. Or that Bush is a criminal.
Republicans lost power because they weren’t doing good work. Bush was not impeached or pursued for criminal wrong doing because the charges were weak.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:08 pm.
Those signs, “Obama Bin Lyin’” are reminiscent of the Obama – Osama connection these haters pushed last year. Have they not learned a damn thing?
These are the same people who insist that Obama isn’t a US citizen.
These are the same people who wish Obama fails.

March 23rd, 2009 at 1:10 pmunbelievable.
I respect you. Maybe I’m wrong about Bush impeachment.
I think that if he should have been impeached, the Democratically controlled Congress would have done it.
But, I’ll listen to you. Why should Bush have been impeached?
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:10 pm.
Dear “Tea Party”,
A “b” is NOT an “s”
Put together…
… You’re full of “bs”

March 23rd, 2009 at 1:12 pmmary. Cramer dropped the ball. I agree with you absolutely. He should have known better.
Stewart’s show is not comedy. He is not Leno. Stewart is a partisan ideologue. Cramer should have recognized it and should have shown up prepared.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:13 pmThat dumb bastard in the photo with the sunglasses and sign is just the picture perfect epitome of stupidity in America.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:13 pmAnd the “tongue lashing” you refer to didn’t seem to me to ANYTHING to do with Cramer and Santelli “questioning the president”. It was about them cheerleading investors and the public at large into steering their money into a market they should have known was about to head downwards.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:14 pmbackup Says:
“Why should Bush have been impeached?”
For starters, Bush admitted to War Crimes on television.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:14 pmCramer is flippin tool who got owned. He didn’t know what was coming from Stewart just like he didn’t see our economy imploding, which is why he was on the show in the first place.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:15 pmObama better have good Secret Service – the Fascists are out to git him.

I totally disagree. Jon Stewart makes fun of both sides.
He does seem to have the intelligence to see through the bullcrap better than most “journalists” and if it seems as though he’s partisan I submit that’s because most spewers of bullcrap tend to come from the right side.
Note that I said “most”.

March 23rd, 2009 at 1:18 pmI saw that on the local news last night and was embarrassed. I hope they weren’t all locals, though it’s probably not hard to find that many stupid people in the metro Orlando area.

March 23rd, 2009 at 1:22 pmOf course its comedy. Not the type you would recognize, but he makes me laugh. That it pertains to current events, is topical should not detract from the humor. If you could laugh at yourself, as many can, you might relax and enjoy it.
unbelievable. I’ll read it. It will be a hard sell, because impeachment never happened, although Democrats had the means.
If it was that cut and dried, I naturally wonder why. Then I come to the conclusion that the calls for impeachment were probably partisan and didn’t have enough basis to stick.
But, I’ll read it.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:22 pm4000 idiots gathered in Orlando to spew rightwing hatred?

I feel sorry for these people really if they were my family members i would hate them for life really with what this country is going through because of the republicans mess and we have people holding rallies like that the republicans party is pitfull and shame on them go home and do something better why cant these people use there common horse sense
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:23 pmBackup, the reason the Democrats didn’t impeach imho is that they wanted Bush around for the 2006 midterms and the 2008 election to beat him over the head with…they chose political expediency over upholding the rule of law…
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:24 pmbackup Says: unbelievable. I’ll read it. It will be a hard sell, because impeachment never happened, although Democrats had the means.
They didn’t have the means, they only had 49 Democratic Senators plus Lieberman who was campaigning for McCain. They needed 60 votes to prevent cloture, but didn’t have it.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:25 pmhigh plains. I have found Stewart and Colbert funny. But, you have to admit that Stewart’s grilling of Cramer wasn’t funny.
It may have been satisfying for partisan reasons, but I don’t think people would describe that particular segment as funny. It was serious.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:25 pmWoodwork squeaks
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:27 pmand out come the freaks
That and the Democrats are spineless weenies who are afraid of their own shadows. That’s why they didn’t impeach the case was clear they just didn’t have the cajones to do it. They were afraid of looking “unpatriotic” when in reality impeaching that asshat would have been the most patriotic thing they could have done. Chickensh#ts!!

It wasn’t supposed to be funny. It wasn’t at all partisan – it was that our MSM is so broken that a freaking comedian had to do their job for them. It was brilliant for him to to call partisan shills on their nonsense (which is what CNBC is). And I hope he keeps it up.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:30 pmbackup Says:
These are hollow calls from partisans. Don’t worry about it. They tried the same thing with the Bush administration, but nothing ever happened.
Find us the evidence that people wanted Bush impeached less than 100 days into his first term. They aren’t the same, and you are full of crap trying to make this case.
The fact that extraordinary rendition, breaking the Geneva convention, and manipulating intelligence don’t grab you as impeachable, is a clear indictment of your partisanship – which is made all the sadder when you come on here and lie about being non-partisan.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:30 pmAt lease America has a very very few idiots to show the World. It is funny to see grown people that are so dumb that they would want to Impeach a President who’s trying to help them live while they hailed President Bush brought the US into this Recession and will be charged with War Crimes. I know Speaker Pelosi is still praying for Bush because she got paid to drop the Imepeachment. But the International Court now has enough proven evidence to fine Bush guilty of out right murder of 151,000 innocent Iraq people who were sleeping when he released bombs on March 20, 2003.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:31 pmAlso backup, it is extremely funny that you can read Jim Cramer’s thoughts as he agreed to go on Stewart. Did Cramer miss the montage of CNBC clips that precipitated his appearance on the show? WTF is your disconnect man? There was no ambush, and if Cramer was surprised by what happened, then the fault for that is solely his.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:33 pmYea, the whole Obama Bin Lyin’ slogan clearly shows the xenophobic/racist undertones of the whole tea-bagger movement.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:34 pmbackup, you keep using that word partisan…I don’t think it means what you think it means.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:36 pmand while you are looking things up, try impeachment. Doesn’t have anything to do with fruit. Really.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:37 pmWhy are these mucking forons referring to Bin Laden and demanding his impeachment?
You’d a thought they would have been more concerned about his capture and trial during the Bush administration?
Or, are they just thinking their being funny?
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:37 pmBecause, I don’t get the punchline.

Backup,
You’re so full of it I should call you “constipated” instead of backedup.

March 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pmPartisan, (according to Merriam Webster): a firm adherent to a party, faction, cause, or person ; especially : one exhibiting blind, prejudiced, and unreasoning allegiance.
Now just which party does this sound like?
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:41 pmYou have to love 4,000 idiots who are protesting about “wasteful spending” after 8 years of Bush. That’s pretty funny.
I have read that most of these “tea parties” attract 50 people or less. If you look at pictures of the demonstrations, you will see that they are all closeups in the middle of the crowd.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:42 pmOh I see, it is alright that bush & co spent America into debt with the $10 Billion a month, no bid contracts, overbilling from Halliburton and KBR, insurancy lobbyists running wild, deregulation ruining the economy.
But impeachment for President trying to improve education, healthcare, environment and infrastructure. Which would NOT need huge amounts if maintenance had been done in the last 8 years instead of war.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:44 pmImpeachment (same source);: to charge with a crime or misdemeanor ; specifically : to charge (a public official) before a competent tribunal with misconduct in office.
The President is supposed to lie? Slick Willy got called for lying to Congress about a personal act that involved 3 people. GW got a free pass for lying (and admitting it publicly) about an action that cost thousands of lives.
One is a misdemeanor, the other gives felony a bad name.

The Republican’t party. You know, the one that threatens it’s members if the go off the reservation and think for themselves. The party of the “hive” mentality. Too bad for them that they don’t recognize themselves. The last PEW poll (taken a couple of days ago) shows that this partisan party is falling apart at the seams:
There are no signs in the poll that Republican congressional leaders are benefiting from the public’s concern about major economic policies. In fact, approval of Republican congressional leaders has fallen from 34% in February to 28% currently, the lowest rating for GOP leaders in nearly 14 years of Pew Research surveys. Republicans, in particular, have become less supportive of their party’s leaders in Congress: just 43% of Republicans approve of their job performance, down from 55% just a month ago. By contrast, nearly half of Americans (47%) approve of the job Democratic congressional leaders are doing.
Even their own members are abandoning them.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:45 pmI wonder if the “crowds” are the same that stormed the election officials in Florida trying to do a recount. Remember they were hired protestors by the republicans.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 pmI shall now forever refer to this movement as the Right-Wing Tea-bagged party!

March 23rd, 2009 at 1:51 pmmary. ask yourself this question: was CNBC the only financial news that didn’t call the current financial crisis?
They weren’t. The difference is Santelli (who opposed the bailouts of banks when they were proposed by Bush) opposed the bailout of homeowners proposed by Obama. And Cramer (who was an Obama supporter) began to disagree with Obama’s business policies on his show.
The connection between Santelli and Cramer questioning the President and Stewart’s attack of CNBC in particular; is obvious.

It is obvious. Both Santelli and Cramer care more about the well-being of those on Wall Street then they do the average American. Both work as corporate hacks on CNBC, and Stewart called them on it.

“Americans have had enough of the pos Obama.”
– Actually, President Obama’s approval ratings remain quite high, with numbers consistently in the 60’s and even 70’s.
“I was the first to predict impeachment would soon be on the table.”
– I doubt that, because the sour grapes crowd has been predicting impeachment since Obama was elected, without even waiting for the inauguration. Some have probably been predicting impeachment from the time Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. Of course, your prediction has yet to come true, as impeachment hasn’t been on any “table” that’s meaningful. A tea-party of 4,000 people blinded by hatred isn’t a valid “table”. Oh, and one more thing — when these people are doing their best to conflate President Obama with a known terrorist, you have to wonder how much of their ire is fueled by bigotry. Did they decry “wasteful Washington spending” when Bush was pushing TARP?
“God Bless America!”
March 23rd, 2009 at 2:23 pm– Amen. Because America seems to have far too many people like you in it, it needs all the help from God it can get.

March 23rd, 2009 at 2:39 pmBilbo. Republicans are going to have to figure out what they stand for. Opposing Obama without offering an alternative isn’t going to get them any play.
I wish the Republican party:
supported the right’s of gay people.
not only called for less government spending, but actually spent less.
promoted more choice in education.
fought to simplify the tax code.
Worked harder to embrace minorities.
Gave up supporting abstinence in favor of sex education and birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
Supported veteran’s more.
I’m sure there are others.
But, Republicans have lost public confidence. Hopefully, they can work to offer a reasonable alternative in the future.

This does not follow. Reagan COULD have been impeached. He broke the law and violated the Boland amendment. We have his signature on a memo AUTHORIZING just that. They didnt for political considerations. Bush MISLED CONGRESS. Bush wiretapped Americans without a warrant. The first is known as comitting a fraud against the United States and is one of the charges that sent Watergate conspiritors in prison. The second was one of the articles of impeachment against Nixon. Now whether they could be proven, though the evidence is pretty clear, is another matter but its just WRONG that no case to impeach him existed. There are still those political considerations. By your logic since no one was prosecuted for the St Valentines Day massacre then no murders were comitted.

March 23rd, 2009 at 5:32 pmI don’t doubt for a second that the Retardlicans plan to impeach Obama should they ever get their majority back in the House, since those that disguised themselves as Democrats in the Senate recently came out of the closet to oppose Obama after America finally thought we had enough real patriots in power to quash the fascist coup and found the Republicans still had their “make Harry stick his pin head back in the sand” filibuster numbers.

March 23rd, 2009 at 6:24 pmI had the good fortune to discuss these circumstances with an old time high ranking Republican. His view of Obama was optimisticly pragmatic, sounds like Obama himself. His view of his own party was a leaderless bunch with no plans, not capable of providing a loyal opposition for the countries.
If they continue to polorize the country in this time of crisis, they may even loose support withih their own party ranks. You can go on about the Bush years, and I agree. The real question is whether the Rebubilcans can produce a leader and formulate plans to bring to the bargining table. The country is in desperate need of the Republicans to start acting like a real political party. I don’t care what kind of cash they have on hand, this is still a democracy and if they continue down this road they will pay. The Clinton impeachment is still fresh in a lot of voters minds.

I don’t pay any attention to the ignorant and stupid, they and their tea party are a sad, perverted joke; but Dick Armey belongs in prison for bribery. What is wrong with the Justice Department, letting these crooks, like Armey, run free.

March 23rd, 2009 at 7:56 pmDo you guys even care what happens to the levels of debt the Bush- Obama bailouts will create? We are throwing our kids into the fire for what? Tim Geitners buddies at Goldman Sachs? The bigger conspiracy here is the generational theft
March 23rd, 2009 at 9:12 pmby Bush/ Obama in favor of the NE Banking Interests.
Oh by the way Obama dropping like a rock with the center independants that elected him.
March 23rd, 2009 at 9:16 pmGive them guns and liquor. Please!!
March 23rd, 2009 at 11:49 pmso very very pathetic. These people’s brains rattle around in their heads too much.
March 23rd, 2009 at 11:56 pmUnfortunately for the Republican protesters, their “tea party” was held in front of the Orlando Institute for the Criminally Insane, not the courthouse, where it was supposed to be held.
And they’re knocking the President’s map.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:05 amJust a footnote:
Apparently, the protesters confused a “Boston Tea Party” with a “Mad Hatters Tea Party.”

March 24th, 2009 at 3:15 amOh please, oh please, oh please, Republicans…DO start an impeachment movement in the House right now. With Obama’s approval in the mid 60s and yours in the crapper, I can’t think of a better way to once and for all destroy the right wing strangle hold on your party. It will destroy the Republican party as we now know it, for which the country will be eternally grateful. It’s time for a new party, maybe with the old name, maybe not. But it’s time for the wingnutopians to go create the Galt Party or the TeaBag Party or whatever loony fringe hate-group party they feel like making and being relegated to the fringe of society where they belong.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:43 amIt s a damn shame that you all feel this way about your fellow americans (I feel the same about the other side too)I’m a middle if the road type guy. I listen to both sides and what do I see…. nobody’s listening to each other because their “idiots” or “unamerican” or so on and so forth. We are doing a good job of helping our elected leaders to do anything they want and we defend them even if at our core we think its wrong because its OUR party and we’re not going to let anybody throw dirt at our party right or wrong.We are all americans and our forfathers and mothers shared their blood on the battlefields and their sweat and tears in factories and farms to make this country great.So this is how we repay them by destroying each other from within.
Signed a Demopublican (Vote the man not the machine)
Oh and americans is not capitalized for a reason.

Wow, quite a few folks on here are calling the kettle black. You people are blinded by your party affiliation and could care less about bettering a wounded nation. You sound a lot like the Republicans four years ago and four years prior to that. Partisan politics are getting really old, and I really see no “change” whatsoever. As far as these folks being racist…I see multiple people on here that feel free to make fun of whitey. Is that not racism in itself? Ah, double standards…weren’t many dems calling for Bush to be impeached as well? Ah, double standards…Dems having issues with wiretapping? Ah, double standards…Fusions Centers-coming to a town near you!
March 26th, 2009 at 6:09 pmYeah for socialism!! No wait..what?
April 10th, 2009 at 1:41 pmYou people scare the hell out of me. Your saying we have taxation WITH representation…..do you even know what that means. You think because we will be paying outrages taxes to pay off this “bailout” and because it was done by the president that is the representation that is needed?? So I guess you don’t mind working for nothing….or are you all just some of those people already living off of the government. Gee, what better way to gain control over the entire population….keep em poor and needing MORE government. NO THANKS….YOU ALL NEED TO WAKE UP AND STOP BEING SO BLINDED.
April 11th, 2009 at 12:01 amOBAMA HAS NOT PROVEN HE IS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN ARTICLE 2 SECTION 1 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CLEARLY STATES THAT YOU MUST BE A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN TO HOLD THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES… HE IS GRANTED THE HIGHEST SECURITY CLERANCE ON EARTH DO YOU THINK MABE WE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS A LITTLE CLOSER??? ALSO MY FAMILY BELIEVED OBAMA WHEN HE MADE IT SOUND HE WAS GOING TO BRING HOME THE TROOPS RIGHT AWAY… OH WELL WHAT ARE JUST 3 VOTES…. AND HIS POSITION ON OBORTION ALLOWS HIM TO KILL THE UNBORN AND STEAL FROM THEM AT THE SAME TIME…..NOT TO MENTION HE IS THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO EVER DO COCAINE ….IM NOT SURE IF THIS IS PROGRESS
April 14th, 2009 at 4:10 amKranzy and Jeff,
April 14th, 2009 at 7:22 pmObama is the central point of all this mess we are in now. No one can blame Bush for all this massive spending. Oh by the way we were safe from 911 till Obama stole-bought the election. Though you are spot on jeff that The USA Constitution is the truth and Obama is a Constitutionalist lawyer! So sad that Obama is an imposter in accordance with the Constitution! Force him to comply then, we the people will verify all his profile! Nuff said! OBAMA COMPLY WITH THE CONSTITUTION OR RESIGN OR GET THROWN OUTTA OFFICE!!
Let the retarded teabaggers throw their crap into the ocean and waters and get arrested for polluting. This is frikkin ridiculous…whos really protesting? just some rich people pissed off that they cant buy that fancy new airplane or yacht when there are poor people out there that can barely afford a new pair of shoes or the shirt off their back despite the fact that they bust their asses for their money and yet are labeled lazy by a political party who caters to the rich and doesnt give two shits about em. heres what i have to ask…where were you when bush was havin people tortured and making life harder for the regular people of this nation? probably sittin pretty not carin about anything but yourselves but when someone needs you to give a little you shit yourselves and throw a little tantrum like a child….GROW UP AND THINK OF THOSE LESS FORTUNATE…STOP THINKKIN ABOUT YOURSELVES
April 14th, 2009 at 7:44 pmIs it true obama admitted to using cocaine?? If so it doesn’t say much about good judgement on his part and it most deffenitly sends a bad message to our youth, this is unexceptable and must not be tollerated if we except this kind of behavior now what will we except in the future? Couple this with the bad decision to lie to the american people about bringing our troops back home ,it appears as if a pattern is developing… also the bad decision to hang around terroist that bombed the pentagon is outrageous!! and the most unpatriotic act in the american political history…
