“Tens of thousands of angry protesters massed near Capitol Hill to denounce Obama’s healthcare and spending plans”
“WRONG again. It was HUNDREDS of thousands.”
The actual number was 1,782,760. Please see:

People all over America wanting their god given rights to freedom.
I believe others have said some LaRouche followers are the ones with such posters.
No I have not seen such signs and I’ve watched the 912 videos from many who attended along with the photos from other TeaParty events.
But we can expect the leftists to infiltrate the Teaparty movement - or try to - in order to bring negative images to the American public - the world public - about them.
So what?
WE VOTE!
I am throwing the BS flag on that. Rumors of "Death to Obama" signs are greatly exaggerated, and how is a Hitler moustache racist?
I was there. All I know is that you could have filled a lot of large stadiums with that crowd. Let’s hope the 4/15 TP event is even larger.
I did see some of those negative signs at the three tea parties I have attended but—it was like one or two yahoos only. The most controversial I ever saw in any number were “Impeach Obama”. There was anger but nothing to indicate that the people were ready for revolt or threatening violence of any sort. In fact most were polite to anti-tea party people who lashed out with insults and comments. In fact it was peaceful and well thought out rather than harsh or advocating violence.
Are you from Saudi Arabia?
I can't, for the life of me, figure out how they perceive racism in the first statement...and have to wonder out loud; What is Sherry Bebitch Jeffe afraid of? Loss of power and prestige? Grant money?
Perhaps she's aware we're ready to try and hang some folks...on the steps of every statehouse in America.
The government is laughing at the tea party protesters. Why should they fear peaceful protests when they already wield absolute power over every facet of our lives?
I have seen them both at a Town Hall meeting here in Massachusetts, and at the March on Washington in September.
They are the Larouche people, who are leftists. The Media flocks to them when they see them, and paint all opposition of any kind in that light.
A the town hall meeting I went to, me and another fellow who I didn’t know were trying to encourage the cameras to come over and talk to us, but they weren’t interested. We overheard them talking as we stood behind them, and it wasn’t surprising to deduce from their conversations where they stood politically.
Finally...someone that gets it
19th Amendment and establishment of the Federal Reserve started us down the slippery slope...on a side note; I didn’t realize the Founding Fathers were from Saudi Arabia. You learn something new every day. :-)
A gracious reply.
I appreciate and respect that.
Right -- the media wouldn't have ignored that!
The Australian, huh? What exactly do they know about what goes on here? This is birdcage liner, not fit for print. I guess lib stupidity isn’t just an American thing.
Well, on a more thorough reading of this piece, I noticed that AT LEAST, even though this is an Aussie site, it correctly mentioned THE ONE MAN who more than anyone , got the ball rolling, and that was Rick Santelli, on Feb. 19 of this year, during a broadcast on CNBC, whose offices I’ve been to, and are in my neighborhood.
Hell, even my TeaParty/Rally for America friends have not come up with anything specific when I called for a QUIZ AND A PUBLICITY IDEA as the title of a thread on our website in Rockland County NY. I asked the pointed question as to who, in their opinion, was responsible for starting the Tea Party movemnt....it WAS Rick Santelli. Rick immediately retreated into the background, but EVERYONE recognizes it was his spontaneous on-air ‘rant’ that kick-started the whole movement.Millions were waiting for something to get it going, and there it was, just four weeks after the inauguration of Oblahblah.
