Feb 2012

remember a woman having her head stomped on or US Congressmen having to cancel their Town Hall meetings because of the threats and violence and disruptions caused by the Teapartiers who would not even allow them to speak? Not to mention they were armed.

People have very short memories. Airc, we kept asking were were the Police as we knew for sure that if a democrat spat on a US Congressman all hell would break lose. Or if a Dem had stood near where Bush about to speak, armed to the teeth, how long would he have been there? And if Dems had caused so much disruption at a Town Hall rally held by a politician that he was in fear of his life, what do you think would have happened?

Democrats were arrested for wearing tee shirts that supported Obama to Bush rallies. Teapartiers were NOT arrested for showing up with guns to Obama rallies.

Video Shows NYPD Brutally Beating a Teabagger... [View all] madinmaryland Feb 2012 OP

Cops enforce the law, and the law Confusious Feb 2012 #1

But it DOES NOT keep the left and right equally from waving guns at the President saras Feb 2012 #2

You missed the point. Confusious Feb 2012 #3

When and where did the left wave a gun at the president, do you have a link for that? Raine Feb 2012 #18

That's my point - they don't. Not because none of them wants to, but because of the consequences saras Feb 2012 #29

I don't think the Tea baggers broke the law during their protests. nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #4

I only saw one video of a beating, and I don't think that was a Tea Bagger rally. nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #6

You missed all the Town Hall meetings then, I guess. sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #10

What laws were broken during the Town Hall meetings? nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #12

What laws have the over 6,000 OWS protesters who have been arrested and brutalized broken? sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #13

I believe the claims were trespassing, protesting without a permit, and obstructing traffic. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #14

No, in fact most of them were released without charges, or minor misdemeanor tickets. They sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #15

I see you are not really interested in the question of the OP. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #16

You didn't answer the question. What crime did those two Iraq Veterans commit that caused sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #17

So if the police see a teabagger spitting on a US Congressman, they have to wait sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #22

Did the police see the spitting? Do you have a video or news article? nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #23

Well, if they were there, as they are always present at OWS events, I imagine they did see it. sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #24

I watched a video of the spit, and the spit came out while the man was yelling, "kill the bill!" ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #25

Well, it certainly is closer to an assault on a US Congressman than walking home sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #26

I don't know the details of the guy walking home, but if he was around ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #27

The brutality is only normal against protesters from OWS. It is not even an issue sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #28

This isn't breaking the law??? HughBeaumont Feb 2012 #7

That is not the Tea Baggers. That is a different group. nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #8
