Anyone who thinks conservative ideas would ever get a fair shake from the media is fooling themselves.
Getting conservatives to agree on anything is like herding cats. However, here are massive bodies of them, more-or-less marching in lockstep on an issue.
Those people have representatives that run for election .....yep. If I was employed by the gov't....especially an elected official....I'd be scared for my job.
The liberal media was not going to cover the tea parties in any positive light and in fact they were not going to cover it all with or without Obama speech on taxes, a speech that is full lies.

This isn’t about taxes. Nice talking point. Parrot.
Is Bob J’s last name Dole?
I disagree. I don’t think the liberals care to try to understand what it is about. I think the people who are participating in the tea parties are trying to send a message about government spending, “big government”, etc. I do not think it has been promoted as being just about taxes.
Might as well take yourself a frickin’ white flag then. geeez
Trust the genius of the People.
The times they are a-changing.
Wow, one speech and you fold like a scared bunnie.
Hopefully, the rest of us who turn out will have a little more fortitude.
Thankfully, our forefathers didn’t have your defeatist attitude.
Buck up, man!
Bob, this is just the beginning. The old silent majority is beginning to awaken to what has happened to the country.
Protesting has now become mainstream, not just reserved for the far left.
nothing oblabo says changes a simple fact.
extreme spending
extreme stupidity
extreme arrogance
we the people want the extremists out of our government.
I thought he or Glibbs said he didn’t know about Tea Parties or wasn’t paying attention to them.
Bob J is not trying dissuade anyone. He is just trying to help us focus our message. He has been part of movement conservatism for decades...
Well, then, let’s all just sit down and shut up....
Thanks, of course I support the TP’s. My only concern all along has been the diluted message and the organizers having to spend their precious media time defending attacks rather than pushing the message.
I’ve been watching the cable news shows all morning. Cavuto is doing his best to spin them but he is spending too much time addressing the offensive attacks of the left, namely that this is a GOP sponsored action.
Surprisingly, CNN and CNBC are doing a fair job, I haven’t seen any direct attacks. I haven’t seen anything on MSNBC, theyare avoiding it.
BTW - This is normal. Too often conservatives just want to lash out and they NEVER want to hear any agonizing appraisal or sober analysis of the effectiveness of their actions.
That’s why we keep making the same mistakes over and over.
I think even TOTUS would like some tax relief.
