CNN is showing these nut jobs for what they are!!
Please tune in if you can. The lady hosting said "this is not family viewing". She said it's clearly and Obama bashing party. It's off now, I'm hoping someone else saw it.

:grr:

5. I couldn't type fast enough I was so ticked. I think they were
reporting from Chicago. She basically yelled at a guy that had a picture of Obama made to look like hitler. She kept asking him why he was calling the President a fascist! He kept saying "because he is"...no reason of course. She talked to another guy who had a child with him and said this state is getting 50 billion in funds! The guy started rambling and it sounded like the crowd was yelling at her! She sent it back to CNN and said it wasn't family viewing. It was a klan rally.

17. Just got back from a Long Beach CA. "Teabagging Party."
There were 20-30 people there. (There are 450,000 people in Long Beach.) They didn't have a clue. They yelled at me because I had a sign pointing out that most services (streets, sidewalks,parks, libraries, etc.) were paid for with TAXES. They were mean and surly. I got the distinct impression that they were mad because Obama won. Virtually everybody left after one hour. Back to work, no doubt.

Reminded me of Monty Python's "Life Of Brian" where the monks were walking in a line, chanting, and hitting themselves in the head with bricks.

Well, to paraphrase a well-worn right wing mantra, "Get over it."

Obama's margin of victory in the '08 election was 2-1/2 times what Bush's was in 2004. Now THAT's a mandate!

The organizer of this "teabagging" party failed to get the necessary permit. She also pushed my wife and told us we couldn't be there. After I told her we could because there were two of us, (Under local law, you need 3 or more to have an "unlawful assembly") and after I told her I would summon the police if she kept harrassing us, she left us alone. And we left them alone.

Totally clueless, and I predict this "movement" will die out of its own accord. (Too much effort.) Either that or they will become radicalized and be shot by the Guard. Ignorance of what is is no excuse.

The organizer of this event was bitching online because she had no help and no money. Ain't that the Neoconservative way. Well, sister, get used to it unless you have a shitload of money. Reality bites, doesn't it?

As a home owner, I will continue to pay my property taxes as long as I use services paid for with taxes.

9. I saw those teabaggers
The moron with Obama as Hitler on his placard was particularly braindead. Like interviewing a four years old.

Here's my paraphrased transcript:

CNN: What is your message today, sir?
DUMBASS: Obama is a facist.
CNN: Why do you think he's a facist?
DUMBASS: Becuase he is.
CNN: But what makes him a facist?
DUMBASS: Because he is one.

11. Dumbass is correct! I wish they had let her keep reporting. It sounded
like the crowd was getting riled up against her. Fuckers...I hope there is a clip coming soon.

There are several other videos posted as well. Each one loonier than the next.
