Tea Party Protest - I Am Upset But It Was Revealing
The Burning Platform ^ | 4-16-09 | Jason Rines

Posted on 04/16/2009 2:01:48 PM PDT by iThinkBig

Mainstream Media (MSM) reporting the protests were on opposite sides of the spectrum, one camp supportive of the protests and some against. Some MSM outlets reports I watched last night revealed a noticeable diversion from the description reported of the protestors I witnessed, here in New Hampshire.

The reporting against the protestors was highly inflammatory and outright disgusting in my opinion. Calling the protesters 'teabaggers' and then proclaiming to a global viewing audience (with funny little smirks) that the slang was deserved because of the symbolic intrument of tea bags utilized seemed like an attempt to be cute in there riducule. That is because most of us adults know the sexual reference to that slang.

Communism on rise in the USA. I never thought I would see the day the fifth column would take us down from within.

The country has become incredibly polarized in three short months. The MSM is just raising the level of anger out here by their smirking put down of the protests by an obscene slang term for a sex act. They are not helping their cause by getting in cheap shots for the amusement of their moonbat base.

Why are we trying to influence the media? They aren’t the ones whose attention we need to get.....

i do NOT fear "communists" taking over the country, especially when we have a POTUS who seems to think that he's a combination of Benito Mussolini & Juan Peron. (fwiw, "michelle, bho's belle", doesn't have the IQ or "class" to play Evita Peron - she gives new meaning to "DENSE"!!!)

i firmly believe that euro-style neo-fascism is "on the march" in America AND we ordinary folks should be AFRAID of "the coven of kooks" that bho has brought to the forefront - janet neopolitano for ONE!!!(she makes me want to VOMIT- preferably ON her for characterizing American servicemen as "possible terrorists".

IF bho had any sense at all, he would PUBLICLLY FIRE that creep & APOLOGIZE to the country for hiring her.(actually, i suspect that he AGREES with "nitwit janet".)

I have been seeing some talk about someone calling us all terrorists because we disagree with the administration. Who was it, if you know. I was trying to post a link to the reference, but I can’t find it. I appreciate any help.

Which shows you their lack of breeding and character. The sexual connotation is probably the only one they understand. American History 101 was probably an anti American rant they slept through years ago in an alcohol/drug induced haze where it was pumped into them that America is evil and that the Founding Fathers were all slave-owning old racist, sexist white guys.
Their behavior says nothing about the people at the Tea Parties but speaks volumes about the media.

I'm not trying to influence the media. This stuff just shows how out of touch the MSM and Dems are with what's happening in the country.

Lots of posts have discussed how Zero's policies seem a throwback to the 70's, especially to Carter policies. Well, I think something else is going on like during the 70's - a movement to limit or cut taxes. Remember Howard Jarvis? Zero's massive spending and intention to raise taxes is igniting a similar movement right now and the libs are laughing about it - just like they laughed as the same movement in the 70's helped propel Ronald Reagan to the White House. Then, they quit laughing.

Oh, yeah. Barry, Janet, Ayers, Wright, they all agree how they feel about conservatives.

Yes, I’ve heard that “we’re in a cycle - the pendulum will swing back” argument many times.

The fact they all were conversant with the term and all jumped on this at once tells you a little about their life behind the camera, doesn't it?

and i believe that they both HATE & FEAR persons, who have chosen to serve in the armed forces. (like you & me, for just two of MILLIONS of "comrades in arms",who wore the uniform.)

No question, SW. They despise the military even more than the Clintons did, IMHO. They'll gut the defense budget and kill every program they can get away with. In public, though, he'll be a hypocrite and pretend to honor our military. Pond scum.

Thanks, too cool. I sent it to my sister. She wanted to read if for herself.

Thanks for the quick response.

Actually, it sounds like something that would come from James Carville or Rahm Emmanuel.

DAMN the repubicans for being so passive in the face of these thugs these last 8 years.

The only guys who ever stood up to them were Cheney and Rumsfeld.

I don’t know - New regulation has been passed to confiscate or shut down any business deemed a ‘threat’ to the economy. The legislation was due to banking pilfering but all people now break the law and can be deemed a threat now. That is if you own a business. Just like Nazi Germany. How quaint.
