Veterans Upset That Tea Baggers Plan To Hold Their Anti-Obama Protest At A Veterans Memorial In Kansas
Veterans Upset That Tea Baggers Plan To Hold Their Anti-Obama Protest At A Veterans Memorial In Kansas
Tomorrow, conservatives around the country will be holding Tax Day tea parties. Although “tea” technically stands for “taxed enough already,” Fox News’s Glenn Beck — one of the main promoters of the event — has insisted they’re about spending, not taxes. Previous tea parties have attracted protesters who called for impeaching Obama while slurring the President’s name as “Obama Bin Lyin.”
Nevertheless, tea party organizers continue to insist that tomorrow’s events will be bipartisan. (Even though so far, no Democratic elected official has agreed to participate, compared to at least 38 GOP lawmakers.) However, a group of veterans in Kansas isn’t buying the spin, as Kansas Jackass points out.
Tomorrow, tea baggers in Pittsburg, KS, plan to hold their protest at the Pittsburg State University Veterans Memorial Amphitheater. Speaking at that event will be Rep. Lynne Jenkins (R-KS). Veterans are expressing concerns at having a partisan event on this “hallowed ground“:
– “It’s everybody’s right to have a protest, but our complaint is that it’s at the Veterans Memorial. Most people think of the Veterans Memorial as a sacred place. It’s a place to reflect, to remember why we’re here today and the people who have sacrificed for that.” [Bob Torbett, director of the American Legion Riders and a member of the Kansas Patriot Guard]
– “I’m not so sure the Veterans Memorial is the appropriate place for a tax protest.” [Charles Heath, Commander of American Legion Post 64]
– “This is something that really upset me. The Veterans Memorial, as far as I’m concerned, is hallowed ground. To have a partisan, political ‘tea party’ there really offends my sensibilities.” [Bob Torbett, veteran of the Korean War]
When asked for comment, Jenkins’s spokesperson said that while the congresswoman has the “utmost respect” for veterans, “What’s going on in Washington now, with spending and taxes, affects everyone – from veterans to small businesses and single moms and working families. The congresswoman feels it’s important to talk about these issues.”
John Minton, head of the Crawford County Republican Party, defended the tea baggers, saying that they were probably having their protest at the amphitheater because it was one of the few places in the country that “could accommodate a large crowd.”

Stay classy teabaggers!
April 14th, 2009 at 4:19 pmHeh. Since when to Repukes care about what is or is not appropriate…?
April 14th, 2009 at 4:20 pmCuz there are none so tone deaf as Repukes & teabaggers.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:21 pmRemember, these people also think their party and ideology have a lock on both Patriotism and Troop Support. So they see it as nothing more than that.
Last I checked, being a soldier is the most non-partisan thing you can be…

– - When Veterans in Kansas are pissed at Republicans, you know the GOP has hit rock bottom.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:22 pmWhat if they held a “teabagging” and nobody “came”?
April 14th, 2009 at 4:23 pmIf anyone happens to be present at one of these FLEAbaggers’ whine-fests you might want to point out that the sidewalks, streets, and parks on which they are standing were paid for with,…… wait for it….TAXES.
Brilliant!
April 14th, 2009 at 4:24 pmI am shocked -shocked!- to learn conservatives are using the military as a prop to further their own (misguided) agenda.
Because you know they’ve never, ever done this in the past.
/sarc off
April 14th, 2009 at 4:24 pmThere is a direct link to Tea Parties from the RNC site – a huge banner right at the top. You can also send a “virtual tea bag” – an e-bag – right from the site. (And, while you’re at it, won’t you please make a secure donation?)
I kid you not.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:26 pmThe ‘new’ Republican Party: Like a sprint through a busy cow pasture.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:27 pmPlease, please, please, PLEASE keep using the term “tea baggers” to describe these jokes of a protest.
Both are simply a ‘gag’ (Pun intended).
Both should not be taken seriously.
I wish each and everyone a happy “teabag” day tomorrow!
April 14th, 2009 at 4:27 pmJohn Minton, head of the Crawford County Republican Party, defended the tea baggers, saying that they were probably having their protest at the amphitheater because it was one of the few places in the country that “could accommodate a large crowd.”
Yeah, because we all know there’s no BIG OPEN FIELDS IN KANSAS!
April 14th, 2009 at 4:28 pmWho in their right mind really cares what these idiot “tea-baggers” say or do? They are truly delusional, since about 95% of American taxpayers will already be getting Federal tax cuts. Only the richest 5% of all taxpapers will be paying higher rates on incomes greater than $250,000/year. P. S. Joe-the-non-plumber has nothing to worry about here…
April 14th, 2009 at 4:28 pmHave there been any other political rallies or events held there? If a precedent has been set, then there’s really no legitimate reason to deny the tea party, although the objections of the veterans should be duly noted.
If this isn’t normally a place used for political events, that should continue to be respected. While political events are routinely held at other memorials (think Martin Luther King at the Lincoln Memorial, for example), they should not be held at any venue considered to be “hallowed ground” — just as it would be in bad taste to hold the event at a cemetery.
Just a question, though — and not meaning any disrespect to the veterans — isn’t it kind of difficult for “hallowed ground” to function as an amphitheater? What kind of function does this amphitheater serve?
April 14th, 2009 at 4:31 pmif your a republican, ANYTHING can be justified.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:36 pmmiss@14, how about a veterans day ceremony?
April 14th, 2009 at 4:36 pmCongressperson Jenkins, while you’re teabagging at the Veteran’s Memorial, how about taking the opportunity to tell the crowd how you helped save millions in taxes by denying proper health care to the wounded veterans at Walter Reed and Bethesda. Or, how your party undercut the military when they begged for uparmored HumVees and better body armor. Or, how the republican-run V.A. pressured Army doctors to misdiagnose PTSD and TBA. Yeah, you clown, how about talking about THOSE issues?
April 14th, 2009 at 4:40 pmWhen asked for comment, Jenkins’s spokesperson said that while the congresswoman has the “utmost respect” for veterans, “What’s going on in Washington now, with spending and taxes, affects everyone – from veterans to small businesses and single moms and working families.
______________
So hold it at the Working Families Memorial, then. Given the rising unemployment rate, I’m sure it’s a much bigger venue.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:42 pmI’d like to see some Vets show up and kick some teabagging as*.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:44 pmLet’s see– Our courts, the churches, the media, laws and elections, school boards, military academies– seems like they need to steal the veterans to complete the set!
April 14th, 2009 at 4:46 pmThese people are quite annoying and they aren’t fooling anyone..this is a well organized smear campaign against our President….nothing more.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:50 pmI was thinking, here is FOX with their shills for more defense spending, which means more money [Taxes] to defense contractors…and then they are also calling for tax cuts and reduction in spending….
How does that work, exactly?
And then they say Obama is cutting defense spending? And they howl about that. WTF?
Obama isnt cutting the DOD budget, hes raising it.
I also note the republicans controlled the house and senate from 1994 to 2006. They could have had many tea-parties but didnt.
12 years with no tea parties???
And from 2000-2006 they also had a republican president. Bush continued to spend..record budgets and deficits even with the wars being fought off budget [emergency supplementals]
6 big spender Bush years with no tea parties??
And now, not even a hundred days into the Obama admin they have found the fiscal responsibility that went AWOL for 12 years?
Poppycock.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:52 pmI AM a 20+ year vet and am completely fed up with the GOPer’s trying to use my and other veteran’s service as a smoke screen to promote their crap! If FauOX News wants to have a tea party, that’s called free expression (to a point), but if they’re going to have it at a veteran’s memorial, they’d better also be swearing themselves into military service at the same time.
April 14th, 2009 at 4:53 pmi dont think this is a smear campaign, its all too easy to dispute the charges they make with facts.
This is about ‘reinventing’ the GOP. Its not a reinvention though, its just a relabeling. Like taking a shirt or dress made in Malaysia and sewing a Made in America label on it.
They havent changed anything, its the same people, with the same ideas, with the same agenda, with the same pundits, with the same shills for more government spending as before.

Maybe it’ just me, but I kind of think that the Veterans are the true patriots, not the teabaggers.

I think you got it backwards Slippy, the Vets are patriots the tea-baggers are not.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:00 pmSo slippery, why no tea-parties for 12 years since 2006?
April 14th, 2009 at 5:01 pmSo they are protesting Bush’s tax rates at a Veteran’s Memorial. It only goes to show you just how stupid Republicans really are.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:04 pmCmon slippery, tell us, why did not the republicans reduce spending and thereby everyones taxes during the 12 years they were the dominant group in the house and senate?
Did all those campaign promises, that contract with America, did it just “slip” their minds?
Did they “Misremember” what they said to the people?
Did the cookies on the table distract them from their fiscal duty?
What was it slippy?
April 14th, 2009 at 5:05 pmGood one ,fergus, but ya know, you go to war with the army have, not the one you wish you had, or have in the future.
I think it’s so fitting that Joe the wannabe will make an appearance, cause everone knows that not paying your taxes is sooooo patriotic.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:05 pmJenkins is a moron, in fact she is certifiable. I had to sit here in on the Missouri side of the border and see her insane campaign commercials. “…she took a no tax pledge, vowing to vote against any increase in taxes..” Whats more? I can actually see Kansas from my house…seriously…its like right out my back window…
Oh no I am having flashbacks… peace.

Tea sandwiches with watercress, now that’s just elitist! Thats an outrage!
April 14th, 2009 at 5:09 pmHere we have another wonderful example of Republican hubris. Why are these people having these “teabaggings?” (by the way, check urbandictionary.com)–it comes down to a matter of hubris and ignorance. These people claim to be fighting for the country, but in reality, they are unable to recognize that our nation is moving forward and that these conservative malcontents are simply in the way of progress. It is sad that they must now profane the sacrifice of our citizens in order to set up their insipid roadblock-protests (which will be ineffectual, by the way, and mocked for centuries to come).

If you are against veterans, you are not patriot, dimwit.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:19 pmI would love to see some polling at that gathering of how many have defended the country and their right to protest by serving in the military. Protesting at any war memorial is classless.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:26 pmWow, ’slippery’ reminds us that “supporting the troops” was pure politicking all along — attacking lefties in the name of honorable service. Keep in mind, this is the same party more interested in useless weapons systems extremely expensive to manufacture and maintain, than providing sufficient armor in its various forms to our troops. This is the party of “you go to war with the dumpster you have.”
April 14th, 2009 at 5:26 pmSeriously, when a party has reduced itself to open hostility toward veterans, it’s easier to write that party off a domestic terrorist group.
Goodbye, right-wingers.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:31 pmYet another Republican whoopsie. Did they really think the veterans wouldn’t say anything? Obviously, they thought it would draw them in.
I wonder if the veterans (in Kansas no less) are considering a counter protest to keep the teabaggers out of their turf.
Sounds like a remake of Left Side Story.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:33 pmThats the way Republicans treat veterans and military. ‘Screw them it’s all about us.’
April 14th, 2009 at 5:34 pmFox News deserves a lot of credit for all its done to discourage right wing groups such as the Klan and other extremist organizations from overtly participating in these protests. I understand there’s not much they can do about concealed carry permits but banning hoods was a step in the right direction.

April 14th, 2009 at 5:35 pmHey! They could have had it at Lincoln Park!
“This facility is ideal for weddings, anniversaries, reunions, meetings, parties and accommodates up to 200 people”

April 14th, 2009 at 5:39 pmFinally, real Americans are protesting something and the liberals are upset?
I guess only braindead, hemp wearing, and baffoonish socialist liberals are the only people allowed to protest.
Eat your crow, because Conservative are getting the spotlight now!
Liberals are now reduce to sitting on the sidelines looking for their next fad of a social mission to protest. Maybe you could protest the ability to abort than marry your next child.

So Fox and Rush pull your strings and you come out and protest. No one cares about that. It IS eschewing journalistic ethics for Fox to be ADVOCATING protests. That is pretty far from objective journalism. Then again we are talking about Fox they never had any ethics and this is the point. If the network news or CNN had advocated anti war protests the screaming from you rightwing morons would have knocked the Earth off its axis

Please be specific.
April 14th, 2009 at 6:14 pmSo once again the GOP is using our brave soldiers as props for their inane events. If the argument they put forward had any merit – or made any sense – it could stand on its own; without any need for props. Because their argument is devoid of reason and fact, they must ’sell the sizzle’ cause nobody is buying the steak anymore. I really wonder if they know just how silly and manipulated they have become.
And still, they all WILL BENEFIT from the very policies they are griping about. Weird indeed.

Finally? They weren’t “real Americans” before President Obama took office? The RNC could pay you a visit for that slip-up.
It speaks volumes that you gloss over angry vets having their turf invaded with the usual boilerplate speak of liberals.

Spotlight, as in good cred, or conservaturds flushing down the toilet?

Women make what is usually a difficult decision under the rule of law, while conservatives make the decision after the baby is born. Those dead Iraqi children should know.

Oh, I don’t know. Lets assume he didn’t really mean the grandiose “in the country”. Kansas City (admittedly not Plattsburg) has a nice big stadium on the east side of town that could hold tens of thousands. Hey, that’s the total number that the teabaggers said they would have in all cities across America.
So I have to wonder if they are using the memorial because it is free ? Using my government money to sponsor their demonstration including wear and tear on the facility and not even mentioning the police protection and tying up the roadways, preventing honest people from getting to work on time.

How about; Chimpy’s administration cut more military programs, including veterans care, than any president since Truman. Of course, Truman had the excuse of one war ending and beginning more new programs than any President ever when the next started.
Chimpy? Not so much.

I thank the Department of Homeland Security for detailing just how much of a violent bunch the right-wing extremists have become.

If you really wanted to report on this correctly TP you’d note that taxes affect ALL Americans and most Americans whether democrat-republican, liberal-conservative expect fair taxation with proper oversight of government spending.
Of course in your typical left wing spin, you simply portray these tax parties as right-wing conservative protests. I suppose you would have said the same about the Boston tea party too.

Uhm no. The one thing we all know about the modern GOP is that it is filled with big mouthed pussies who would run and hide at the first gunshot they heard. Your threats of physical violence towards us – if acted upon – would have you in the intensive care unit, probably for a few days.
The GOP shouts and spits, but in the end you do nothing useful and your threats are hollow. We, on the other hand, would stand nose to nose with you and bring your own mortality right up in your face. You would run like a scared little girl. You are a weak assed nobody – get used to it cowboy.

Is it really that hard to understand zooey? Do you need someone to spell it out?
1) No taxation without representation
2) Lowest possible taxes
3) Responsible spending of those taxes by government
Can you say without a doubt that we have any of the above three now? Between Federal, state, sales, exise, sin taxes and the like, all Americans are being fleeced by the two party system running America.

and a former president by the name of bush delivered a fake “turkey” to our soldiers in iraq just to get a photo-op AND DID NOT ATTEND ONE SOLDIERS FUNERAL…….you know the rest of this flip-floppers hellish nightmare.

I THINK I’M GOING TO GET ME SOME OF THAT GREEN MEDICINAL MEDICINE RIGHT NOW TO RELAX ME. THIS IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Your first post was nothing BUT namecalling and insults to liberals. Now we have to listen to you snivel in a way that would embarass any girlscout with a shred of self respect that WE are calling YOU names. Look this is simple. You are a moron. You were a moron yesterday, you are a moron today. You are going to be a moron tomorrow and for the rest of your life. You cant blame us for TREATING you like the moron you cleary are. So either cowboy up or go pour yourself a nice steaming hot cup of STFU
April 14th, 2009 at 6:51 pmWhy on earth would a bunch of people who need to take a bus be going to a tax-revolt? These people are truly masochistic.
April 14th, 2009 at 6:51 pmTimmeh43(riding on the short bus) Whines:
1) No taxation without representation
2) Lowest possible taxes
3) Responsible spending of those taxes by government
1) Really, and where was this protest the last 8 years. And I don’t even think you know what this means. I think you cut and pasted it from a right wing blog.
2) Didn’t happen under Dubya, why the concern now?
3) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Your hero’s responsible spending is what caused this recession, you mucking foron!
(Note: Do the trolls get more stupid after 5pm?)

April 14th, 2009 at 6:55 pmHey Timmay, I thought we were in for a big surprise on November 4th, 2008?
April 14th, 2009 at 6:57 pmI just can’t wait till they are all at the troll convention tomorrow and we can finalize our cyber-plot to take over the World! Once they’ve abandoned the Internets to go tea-bagging? We can block them out forever!
Wait. What does (Do Not Include in Reply), mean?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:00 pmI think you have feelings for me, Beetle..
We have grown very close over these last few posts and I think we should take it to the next level..
Things that I as a Conservative want:
Fair and low taxes possible:
Fair and equal application and treatment under the law:
A strong defense to protect our way of life:
Less intrusive government into Americans life:
Less regulation and absolutely no punitive laws for success:
No socialism:
No communism:
No favortism:
And by all means.. Stop the knee-jerk law creation everytime someone locks their dog in the car or something similair..
Now tell me Beetle, What are you wearing right now?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:01 pmThe ability to strive ahead and make what you want of yourself without penalties of undue taxation.
Thanks, DRxJapanese Beetle. I am relieved it was almost a spill. I would never wish any harm on beer.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:02 pm1) No taxation without representation
2) Lowest possible taxes
3) Responsible spending of those taxes by government
1) Tell that to DC. Second, you receive wingnut representation when you vote in your county supervisors, your state reps & senators, your U.S. congressman and senators. I assume all of them are wingnuts where you hail.
2) Hate to break it to you, but under the spending share alone devoted to the pentagon, the obligations to our vets, and anything related to the DoD empire built over the last eight years, “the lowest possible tax” is impossible. You created the obligations and spending share, and now you must pay for it.
That means neither a flat tax nor “fair” tax will work to fund those obligations. It just won’t budge — either you agree to cut pentagon spending by at least 1/3 or give up talk of a “fair” or flat tax.
3) Agreed. Taxpayer morale is very important. However, in the case of many a right-wingers, their idea of morale doesn’t exactly work out for the morale of the rest of the country.

And so you voted for Bush twice why???
All of the above were trounced on by your hero.
And what’s up with the colons?
“no punitive laws for success”?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:09 pmReally?
Because I remember many years back when a pharmacist from Kansas was diluting cancer meds with water to double or triple his profits. Under you ideological plan, he’d not be punished.
WTF????
You know, the GOP can’t even get their threats straight. It’s a party that’s morphed into fascism in anticipation of communist tactics that don’t exist. Also, extremist ideology in communism and fascism is two ways to achieve the same end. Fascism is no better than communism, and pretty much nobody in America supports communism. How about you right-wingers stop morphing into whom you’re hypothetically fending off?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:10 pmNo favortism:
But your party already has that market cornered — nepotism, favoritism, sexism, racism, discrimination against people with disabilities.
You’re scratching the surface, brotha.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:13 pmO.K. I’ll bite.
I’ll take the first group together and say I can’t disagree with much of that. Unfortunately, the results of following the Republican plan has proven disastrous on virtually every front.
Taxes are never “fair”. The law favors whoever can afford the expensive attorneys the longest. Virtually no one outside a radical minority think that Republican stewardship has made us more secure in any way. I can’t recall any time any non-GOoPer proposed legislation to specifically deny any right to any group. And, no one wants “punitive laws for success”, whatever the Hell that means; and “less regulation” resulted in the stupid and greedy killing the host they depended on and endangering the World’s economy.
I have a feeling it would be useless to discuss “socialism”, “communism”, or “favoritism”, because I am certain you have your own definitions for those words and they probably change to suit the “debate”.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:15 pmGreat point, Japanese Beetle.
Taxes pay to up societal indicators so that we can all be successful. Lack of investment turns out our wonderful ideological freepers who equate inhumanity with “success.”
April 14th, 2009 at 7:17 pmYou missed fair and equal treatment under the law..
This is an example of why liberal will never be the ones out in front. They miss the important things and get hung up on the others.
As for voting for Bush.. You betcha, the alternatives were less than appealing for any thinking American.
Bush was not my hero.. I think he could have been a lot more aggressive in the war on terror. He let a lot of people down by showing way too much mercy to the enemy.
However… The alternative would have been a disaster.. I know what your are thinking.. How does the guy with big balls know the future?
Well my little dung beetle… Have you looked at that wackjob Al Gore has turned into.. He is certifiable.
Your a chick right..?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:17 pmbg whatever,
You truely are a moron. Why not go somewhere where you might get the slightest piece of traction. Why would you want to post such insane drivel here? Really, why here?
As for Petey, I hate to break it to you pal, but racism was a main drawing card of the republican party this past year. Oh, you don’t think so, get your head out of the sand.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:22 pmI didn’t miss, “fair and equal treatment under the law“.
The law favors whoever can pay their lawyers the longest.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:23 pm“This is an example of why liberal will never be the ones out in front.”
You really can’t get more delusional than that. It’s impossible to debate anyone who would make such a fundamentally wrong statement.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:25 pmThe Congressman said: “What’s going on in Washington now, with spending and taxes …”
Perhaps some of the teabaggers are correct: congress did NOT read the stim bill or budget.
Because they ARE NO TAX INCREASES!!
This guy just voted AGAINST the middle class tax cut from the stim bill and is out there protesting high taxes! What a crock …
April 14th, 2009 at 7:29 pmFolks – you are wasting time and bandwidth with the bgb Troll.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:31 pmThere is only one question regarding him since he supports “tea bagging” (remember to check the slang common definition) and that is “Will his mouth be open?”
As for holding the silly thing at a Veterans memorial, as mentioned before, they really need to go to a place that has never received any support from American taxes like maybe some rich man’s private estate or a soccer stadium in Cuba.

——————————————————-
How many people did this pharmacist kill by diluting cancer meds and how many years back? Under your ideological plan, this ‘dollar-whore’ killed numerous people for a dollar, he should be punished.
YOU LIVE IN ALASKA NOW?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:32 pmHello Peter!
You insist that I mad a wrong statement.. But I must direct your attention to the liberal agenda – Punish the succesful and reward the lazy.
That is why the liberals will never be out in front.. Because if they do make it one day.. they have become what they fear the most … Succesful!
April 14th, 2009 at 7:36 pmWhoa Bonat, calm down there little buddy..
How dare you write in bold and even in caps to me!
You must really be pissed!
Again, you people forgot one of the details – Fair and equal application of the law..
See Peter.. I told you!
Where is my little dung beetle (that’s my pet name for her)
April 14th, 2009 at 7:42 pmWhat is a Dickcholo?
Anyway,
I am sure this kind of language and behavior is uncommon for this site..
We don’t need these kinds of juveniles here…
ban him
Thanks
April 14th, 2009 at 7:48 pmThe ’successful’ pay more taxes than ‘unsuccessful’. In other words, the blue states pay more taxes than the red states, and the red states are the largest recipients of their tax dollars.
Your rigid ideological pigeonholing of democrats won’t work, and never will.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:48 pmBgBalla is pathetic. If everyone is as clever as he is at the Tea Parties tomorrow- which is to be expected- it’ll be just another nail in the coffin for a failed ideology that’s just become a laughing stock. Just point and laugh. It’ll help you get warmed up for tomorrow.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:52 pmRemember, these people also think their party and ideology have a lock on both Patriotism and Troop Support. So they see it as nothing more than that.
April 14th, 2009 at 7:52 pmWho is talking about states..??
Wow, you just came out of left field (inserted pun..bwahahaha)
Another instance where you ideas are tainted by your liberal beliefs. Why must you treat the whole populous as a single entity. These are all individual people and should be treated fairly and not punished for being sucessful..
Why do I have to repeat myself so much on this site.. Why won’t you people understand a concept?
April 14th, 2009 at 7:56 pmRealness
I have really pissed you off..huh?
Right now, you can’t make a good argument to save your own skin.. can you?
You are now looking at your liberal budding who are all cowering down at the moment and you try to spert some incoherent “Well wait until tommorrow, he get his”
That is just really lame..
Go back under that rock from whence you came, little one.
April 14th, 2009 at 8:00 pmDamn.. I have really beat you all down..
Where is beetle.. she owes me some lovin.
April 14th, 2009 at 8:02 pmOh please. You’re awesome! Such a bigballa coming on liberal blog to school us wayward children!
how pathetic! does this mean you weren’t even welcome at Free Republic? Even with all that charisma and wit! ahahahaha.
I think you need to get away from your computer, because you are just more and more sad.

I hate to quote myself but, that was the second time I addressed the issue. Beyond that I suppose that I could repeat the many abuses of American law but that’s the crux of it, and always has been.
April 14th, 2009 at 8:05 pmI wonder what you’ll say when someones asks you what you did today, if anyone cares at all.
the truth is too pathetic to recount. Maybe you can talk about it over a nice cup of tea!!!
ahahahahahha.
i’m done with work.
have fun looking like a FOOL.
April 14th, 2009 at 8:06 pmYour right Realness..
You found me out. I am becoming more and more sad every day..
(and thank you for the fantastic segway – Realness)
That is why I will see all of you at the Freedom-Loving American’s Tea Party. Make your spirit soar by loadly proclaiming that America is now WAY off course and needs an enema to rid ourselve of these spineless, cowardly and bafoonish democrats..
Americans only please (no communist or socialist – thank you)
See ya there!

I hope I didn’t hurt your all self-esteem too much.. Hang in there..
One day in the distant future when you all are older and wiser. You will look back at these days and say.. I remember a time when I was young, foolish and voted Democrat.
April 14th, 2009 at 8:15 pmYou will have to vote Democratic, because their will be no Republicon Party. The Republicon Party is fast self-destructing.

Im a moderate, but I have to ask why, now, after eight years of Bush spending and 12 years of republican spending that now, just now, you are protesting, at the behest of some astro-turf campaign designed, again, to get you to go against your ideology?
You think the same profiters of the same spenders have changed?
April 14th, 2009 at 10:11 pmThe deficit, 1.3 trillion, just so happens to be the same as the Bush tax cuts for the 1% and the same 1% now want you to protest for more tax cuts for the 1% when you make less than 250k a year?
What are you thinking?
April 14th, 2009 at 10:13 pmBgBalla Says:
Stop humiliating yourself by pretending to tell us anything. You are an idiot. Stupid beyond the ability of words to describe. You think you will just say STUPID things like liberals will never be out in front and it will magically become true when in fact it is stupid and pathetic. Liberals are almost always out in front. In ending Jim Crow, child labor, the 40 hr workweek, rural electrification, Social Security. All things rightwing morons like YOU opposed. So suck it up. Realize you are always going to be a moron and that hisotry is always going to show you were wrong and us liberals were right.

April 14th, 2009 at 11:26 pmEuwdebs……the only person here that teabaggs himself on a regular basis.
April 15th, 2009 at 12:48 amConservatives are showing about as much respect for veterans as they always have: sending active duty military on repeat tours of Iraq, not spending money on Walter Reed Army Hospital, cutting vets’ benefits. So why shouldn’t they desecrate veterans’ memorials by holding partisan tea-bag protests there? What is truly laughable is that they are protesting taxes that make our government work and provide services for all, including those noble veterans who have worked, suffered and died for our country, while condemning the protests of an illegal war. Bush began spending billions on this illegal war and the subsequent bailout of the financial world that collapsed as a result. These people have no sense of honor.
April 15th, 2009 at 6:57 amRethugs only care about the veterans when they can be used for their own greedy PR purposes. Like the bible, they wave it when it’s convenient for their argument. How many of them have actually served. Wingnuts = Loosers, hypocrits and liars.
April 15th, 2009 at 2:19 pmJeez terdkel could you spin it any more?
What, did you go out and find 3 veterans living in Kansas that disagreed with the protestors using the memorial?
Did you ask the veterans if they agreed or disagreed with the tea party in general or just that it is being held at a memorial?
April 15th, 2009 at 2:59 pmOK Pat obviously senile dementia has set in. Time to see the nice young men that will need to take care of you soon.burun estetigi rent a car arac kiralama
