Bill Press just smacked down a couple teabaggers
I listen on XM so I am not sure if his show is live or taped.

Bill talked about the teabag parties being promoted by FOX and said it was too bad the attendees didn't get that they were being used. So the first guy calls in and says 'Bill you just don't get it' and Bill tells him he has been to a lot of protests and they are always about stopping something, like stopping the war or a power plant. The guy interrupts Bill and says he wants more power plants and Bill says 'well what are you trying to stop?' And the guys says 'we want to stop the spending' And Bill says 'stop spending on education? Health care?'

Next guy calls up and says 'how is this different from all the protests promoted by CNN and MSNBC?' and Bill says 'Name one protest promoted by CNN or. MSNBC'

Guy changes the subject.

:rofl:

4. The Comedy Gold Is Already Being Mined
I can't wait to see Olbermann, Maddow, Schultz, Stewart and Colbert rip this thing apart later. I'm sure we're in for some comedic moments we'll long remember.

Bill nails it...a protest is only as good as the cause you're protesting for or against. Most of these useful idiots only know about taxes and talking points and in many cases will be protesting against their own best interests. It truly is the definition of insanity...doing the same stupid things over and over.

The interesting factor here is how the corporate media world appears split...some ridiculing this stunt, others not sure what to make of it and another that continue to play rushpublican stenographer. This "protest" is being staged for them more than anyone else.

6. Very true
It's more of a media stunt than a protest.

5. This is just a huge pout and tantrum party because they lost the election
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 07:48 AM by cherish44
That's the bottom line of it. They're spouting off about taxes, pork, socialism etc. because they're just parroting what they hear on TV and radio. They don't know what any of it means nor do they have the intelligence to comprehend it.
