But when they were protesting Bush, that was OK. That was Americans voicing their Constitutional-protected opinions (which it was).

Now, with Obama, you're a racist if you say anything against his plans and programs. You're not allowed to protest against the government. It's wrong to have an opinion that's counter to Obama.

Agreed. But at least we as a country are finally speaking out. From what i've heard from friends of mine that protests been happening often especially during the Bush years, but they are rarely mentioned in the news. When there is coverage, they usually just say a small group of college kids were trying to disrupt a speech by the president, but other than that it all went well. Right now the crowd is getting bigger and louder, and it can't be ignored anymore. So now they are trying to discredit this as much as possible. They don't want democracy to actually start working, cause then they'll lose power. But since they used a couple of meaningless celebs that need the air time to speak their trash. Weak attempt to take the focus away from the issue, though some people would believe this.

Exactly! It should have been done when Bush was president too. But it wasn't. It just gives more fuel to some people to say things like Garofalo said.

If there were mass tax day protests during Bush's presidency, then those people could not say things like that.
