2. rightwing rich people
sure do suck at protesting. It's funny watching these morons try to carry out an effective protest when everybody there seems to have their own agenda.
1) I hate taxes
2) I hate governement
3) I hate black people
4) Obama wasn't born in the US
5) I heard there would be free cake

4. So many better reasons to dis these protesters than that.
I'm on their side about the permit.

We all have a permit to protest already. Article I.

8. Sorry but to gather that many people in a public place requires
things like access to toilets, insurance, safety issues, there is a legitimate reason to acquire a permit. We had to do it.

11. I've had to do it too. Many times.
But it's a requirement that is very often abused in order to limit speech and represents - in my view - unnecessary authoritarianism.

By all means hold people accountable for the consequences of poorly planned events, but don't use prior restraint in the form of permits.

14. I'm with you Truth
I don't think you should need a permit either. I'm not siding with the Teabaggers, I'm siding with the U.S. Constitution. Plus, now they can spin this into Obama is stifling dissent.
