Tea Party goers berserk in DC, try to lob things at the White House
A robot was inspecting a suspicious package on the North Lawn of the White House after tax protesters threw what appears to be a box of tea bags over the White House fence.

That prompted officials to clear Pennsylvania Avenue Wednesday.

The U.S. Secret Service on Wednesday locked down the White House compound after someone hurled a package in an apparent act of defiance meant to echo the rebellion of the Boston Tea Party and related tax protests around the country. Officers cleared the street and Lafayette Park across from the White House mid-afternoon. They also ordered journalists back inside the press room.

1. Dumb fucks ...........
Check out the barriers that now enclose the White House. It didn't used to be that way. You could walk right up to the White House entrance. Not any more.

So these dumb fucks think it's all right to throw something over the fence.

You do NOT screw with the Secret Service. They're faster than cats............................

2. Remember how they reacted when John Kerry threw fake medals over the fence?

3. I hope they're all well-documented on Secret Service videotape.
