Comments on: VIDEO: Fox News Signs On To Tea Party Agenda, Aggressively Promotes Anti-Obama Protests

Lots of us who voted for W became more and more upset and horrified as the Republican-controlled Congress and W himself spent the taxpayers’ dollars as if they were drunken sailors on liberty (no offense to the Navy for that stereotype). We had a hand in the turnover to a Democrat-controlled Congress in order to send the GOP a message. We voted for “change” in 2006, hoping the Dems would get that message, too, but they seemed to take it as a mandate for the Democratic Party platform. Personally, I left the GOP and registered Independent. I did not vote for Obama in 2008, not because he was black, but because I believe he is too liberal. I wasn’t happy that John McCain was the GOP candidate, either, and felt that I had no horse in the race. On election night, I had tears in my eyes as I watched blacks all over the country celebrate and I was moved, tremendously moved that we finally had a black president. What a point in history!

Subsequently, I did not listen to right-wing talk radio, as I did not want to hear attacks on the new president and I wanted to give him a chance to get his administration and policies going. Sadly, I am not thrilled at the billions (trillions?) of dollars our descendants are going to have to repay. This started with Bush’s administration and is just getting worse with Obama’s, I’m afraid.

That is why I participated in preparation meetings for the Colorado Springs tea party and attended it. I’ll admit I did not see many black people there, which saddened me. We did have a black speaker (D. Ed Jones), among many others. There were no riots in the streets, just honking horns from drivers who agreed with us. Before these tea parties, many of us felt we were not being heard or that our voices were being ignored. Now we’ve found people who believe similarly to each other and we feel that we are actually doing something, not just blogging on right-wing or independent websites.

I’m not against Obama because of his color; it’s because of his policies so far.

And one more thing, when are we going to place a A-F grade scale on housing. Basically like the resturants. A for the very nice rental properties and F for the not so good but still livable conditions anything less then this should be considered slum lord conditions and they should have 90 days to bring it to code or the state confiscates it and offers a new building in place of the old one, yet the whole while the former tenants would have first choice at the same rental price as the former appartment or house, price gouging should not be tolerable. Personally I think that the lowest rental sales in the US should determine our scale, afterall we are all dealing with something called minumum wage, ever heard of it??? It’s little things like this that let me know our government acts against us. At least now when this comes to be you’ll know it’s wasn’t some stupid political advisor that sujested it.

First off the Tea party people are right to protest, for one, the main reason we revolted against the British was because of the taxes, thus in turn the US Constitution. Now here we are living in the US and are forced to accept the very same behavior we fought against when we fought the British and created the Constitution. Our government has become hypocritical at best.
Second, billions of dollars have been spent to bail out the banks. Did the government act in our, the people’s best interest? Of course not. If they ahd they would have created a department that forced the banks to act on behalf of their parton and requested a letter of appeal and letter of proposal so that the money given to the banks would have whipped the debt of the patron away, mainly school and small business loans. But what did our government do, they just gave them the money and screwed the people who gave it to them.
As for all those politicians and their veiw on why the protests are wrong, they should remember, we never wanted you in the first place.

By the way small minded progressives, don’t bother with the faggy race card. Obama is not liked because of his brainless big government agenga, not because of any flaky thing like skin color. You stooges always twist everything when someone disagrees with you.. The only change this alien resident brought was an huge increase of the same old trash. You idiots deserve all the government handouts you can get, waiting on the mailman to bring your self esteem to you. Get real, be responsible for yourself for a change. Have a happy day mindless idiots, I’m off to the tea party to speak out against the gestapo government that we have.

You people truly amaze me with your hatred of real patriots. You’re the fools that want to placate all of the idiots resting on their backside waiting for Obama, their savior to apply a band-aid to their hemmorhoids. You are communist fools, lackeys helping to ruin this great land. Obama and his like are scurvy liars with nor morals, no character, their life contains no truth, always twisting circumstances to fit their crappy ideals. Anyone that thinks the government will save them is an absolute, bankrupt fool.

I see hate comments on tea parties, why? I don’t vote democrat or republican for neither party has impressed me as totally truthful or honest. I do notice comments here from apparently one side, the democrats, why? Can’t real citizens stand up for what they believe in and voice their opinion without it being a conspiracy, maybe practice a little of our first amendment rights. Oh one other thing i’m not taking political sides. Why because a Republican President and his cronies pushed the first bits of “bail out” monies and a Democrat President and majority led Democratic Senate and their cronies signed it in. So neither side truly believes in the thought of “WE THE PEOPLE” and thats the real problem, thats the real issue, thats the real fight so pull yourself away from what ever it is keeping you from seeing the big picture and THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and think for yourself. And if you don’t like what one group is doing fine, form your own tea party and get the message out IT’S YOUR RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

You DO realize all this nonsense coming out of the GOP and Fox Noise will do NOTHING but cause further damage during the 2010 midterms don’t you?

The only people applauding are the dwinding regional extreme elements of the base. The GOP is NEVER going to win elections by continuing to pander to them.

The idea of ‘rebellion’ from (and by) the bosses, using some poor dummies as shills, is utterly repellent. They do think they are our puppet masters, those guys in the media and the corporations whose bidding they do.

Its outrageous that Ruppert Murdoch is using his Chinese business connections to provide tea grown by Chinese prisoners for these tea parties. These tea parties are are little more than an effort by Murdoch media empire to exploit their Chinese connections to exchange media publicity for his efforts to obtain further tax breaks.

What ever the tea baggers do want, they do not want republican leader Steele there when they do it. He has been dis-invited.

Did you think you were special Propaganda Parrot? We get morons like you here almost every day. You have listened to Rush or whatever screechmonkey does your thinking for you and it has made you THINK you are smart and you are going to come in here all condescending and show us your borrowed wisdeom. Except a couple of problems arise. First you are stupid and the liberals here are pretty smart people. Second you dont know WHY you beleive what you do other than it is what you were TOLD to believe so you cant really argue your points, just repeat them in a kind of sad demented myna bird way. So when we ANSWER your points and show you why we think you are wrong you cant answer until Rush tells you HOW. What a sad and pathetic existance you have.
