funny that i didn't see any signs that says bush was hitler or the wealthy were the criminals....only that obama WHO HAS PRESIDENT FOR THREE MONTHS is the villian.....question...why wasn't this teabagging arranged last sept or oct or nov or dec or jan, when bush was still in office?


When bush was in office..there were all kinds of slams on him like that, and i'm sure there still are...and i'm not defending Bush either..believe me.
This lady was going for the extreme parts of the group to try to show her version of what she thought the whole thing was.

I wished their had been protests when the bailout first started...but there weren't. I was completely against them...watched as both Presidential candidates supported and voted for it...watched as congress passed it and Bush sign it.

People should have been protesting then...maybe they thought and were hoping this would fix the mess....people on ATS knew it wouldn't.

Most people don't pay attention to politics..I never used to...they will only start to pay attention when things get bad around them..which is what is happening now.

It's not an Obama thing...it's a government thing...and to me it's a Federal Reserve thing.

A historical election wrapped around bank bailouts...plunging 401k's and huge job losses...people losing their homes...and an explosion of spending....

It's going to wake people up.

We should be glad people are starting to wake up...cripes...better late than never.

Unfortunately it takes everything going to hell for it to happen.

People you need to watch this video because this is a PRIME example of the media and their crap games they play. She asks why she chooses to interview the extreme and put them on TV instead of the normal citizen. Well youll see the rest it is a great video and yes it will tick you off.....


Having just seen this video and knowing nothing more about it then that, I was actually surprised that the CNN reporter even talked to those people after her segment aired. Couldn't she have just told them to blow and walked away? I thought she handled it politely, even when the woman got very antagonistic towards her.

However, I do know the media and it wouldn't surprise me at all that they are gonna talk to weirdos first before they talk to the average Joe so they can get better ratings. I'm surprised she didn't find someone in a spacesuit or something to talk to actually. A man and his baby seems normal enough... don't you think? Then again I did not see the rest of the segment that wasn't in this post.

I'm going to tell you what this comes down to. If your politicians aren't voting the way you want them to then you vote them out and you KEEP ON voting them out until they do vote the way you want. But YOU HAVE TO VOTE... I'm so tired of people being mad and not even trying to do anything about it. My feeling is if you don't vote, then you don't get a say in what happens. Because your opinion at this point is both meaningless and pointless.

So next election be sure to get all the big talkers out there in to vote rather then into a bar to rant and rave about how bad things are. As a people, an American people, we can beat them... but we have to do it by their rules... and they know we are sheep so they keep on doing it to us. Let's show them that we aren't sheep and we aren't going to take it anymore!!!

I've always said along the same line. Forget tax. Forget Fed. Kill the devil. Abolish money. Rob the rotten elite.

I fear the media. They do not connect with most people. They represent their own special interests and constantly SLANT the news.

A vast majority of people who attended these "Tea Parties" aren't the "Radicals" they are portrayed to be. They are normal, working, average heart-of-American-values, educated American citizens. The problem with our media is that a majority of these networks are ultimately owned by FOREIGNERS. Do you think they care if Americans are portrayed favorably?

What is really sad is the Obama Administration's "Homeland Security Report" that just came out portraying all these people as "Radicals." No Obama, these Conservative people who attended these rallies are not "Radicals" just because they can see the shafting you are doing to my country. It should bother even the people that voted for you the "bad-mouthing" about Americans to foreign elements you have done and continue doing. Now, Mr. Obama, you are labeling a large segment of Americans as "potential terrorists" and training our own troops to be prepared to point guns at us. The mainstream media drools like starry-eyed teenage girls at your feet. Every damned day the lead story is something about the "great things" you are doing for the people! Your glorious act of releasing "classified documents" about torture under the Bush Administration just let our enemies know that if you are captured by American troops, we are only going to waterboard you! Hell, I guess that is worst than getting your head sawed off slowly in the name of Allah! I suppose we "Radical Right Wingers" just take it too far.

A media that cared about the average American citizen would have the decency to keep the report under wraps DESPITE the release by the Obama Administration. Instead, they choose to gloat at the fact that they "got something" on an American President they didn't support. Obama, whom they DO support, in the meantime "Also got a puppy".

Who is in whose pocket?

Great Find! The MSM and our elected officials aren't really realizing how PO'ed people are with the way things are going. I'm sure everybody in America is so glad that we each get $400 more of our own money, like they are doing us some great favor by not taking our money in the first place.


The average tax in the US is 28% if i am correct, in some European countries people that earn above a certain threshold pay 60% tax, thats 100% more tax than you are paying and we don't have riots here (yet). Hmm, we'll see when the bailout # in eastern Europe hits the fan and the rest of EU is shattered.

Wow.... Just... Wow... I didn't see that she did anything wrong, honestly. You say it's all propaganda, yet, when the people are shouting mis-informed propaganda, it's OK. I mean seriously, the guy with Obama as hitler? Come on guys. Let's all pull our collective heads out of our arses let's have a reality check. The people there with signs were there to incite emotions, and that's exactly what they did. Where were the counter-protesters standing that day? Don't you think that was all a bit one-sided?

"Your state got 50 billion" Yes, your state did. Without that 50 billion, your state could not function in its same capacity. My state this year is going to need money from the government, due to the huge amount of manpower and resources it took to keep the entire city from flooding... Seems as though you all would rather 10's of thousands of people die than pay a few bucks a paycheck, because taxes are higher.

Bottom line is this: The government is in debt, the only way to pay off this debt is to increase income. The largest income is taxes. So increase the taxes a few % and you increase your income.

Can't afford your mortgage? Maybe you shouldn't have bought such a large house or bought that new SUV. Don't blame the economy and the current administration for your and everyone elses' problems. People live beyond their means, in general. Spend spend spend. I'm just so sick and tired of the finger pointing I think I'm going to explode.
