This kind of complacent attitude is whay we bicker back and forth instead of focusing on the real problem...

We have the power to MAKE them listen. We only need get off our arse and DO it. Today, the people have spoken. MILLIONS of us have.

They had one here today and seeing it on the news was the first I heard of it.

Some channels weren't giving it much coverage and a few of the ones that did were dismissive and some even rude. I don't get it. Aren't we supposed to speak out when we're unhappy w/the way things are? To my knowledge, no one was unruly or destructive, so why the media inattention?

We are not supposed to question the messiah and those right wing goody two shoe right wingers behave themselves.

It's more fun to march about the war and break or destroy other people's stuff.

That's a good demonstation. Heavy on the DEMON.

I saw a great clip from CNN where Susan Rosegen tries to school a prostestor she is interviewing! FUnny~

Just to make sure my memory was correct...I googled...Cindy Sheehan and Fox News....dismissive and rude
would be nice compared to the way she was treated for speaking out when she was unhappy with the way things are....

She was called a traitor, nuts, bad mother, and many horrid names.

I am all for peaceful protest...have done it. If you want to protest taxes or war or a supreme court decision or whatever - go for.

Just show a protest with which you disagree the same respect as a protest with which you agree.

If Fox did that, it was wrong to do so, IMO, but for CNN to do it w/the tea parties doesn't make it right either. Quid Pro Quo should not apply. That's tantamount to school yard fights. "S/he started it!" Juvenile.

Just curious...when did CNN call one of the tax protesters ugly names?

Complacent, eh? Tell me all knowing one, did your party do any good? (besides make fish sick from the tea dumped into their environment, I mean)
NOPE!!!

Amen. Sour grapes IMHO.

CNN and MSNBC are the biggest bunch of turds on he planet.

I was tripping thru the channels and came across the Half man/Half pundit, Rachel Madcow.

She made a reference to the Tax Tea Parties and the people who were going to participate, she used the term for a lewd act - I am not going to repeat it here, for obvious reasons- and used it repeatedly during the few days before protests.

I ain't no prude, but I did tune in to her show so I'd really know what she was talking about and I was trying to get the gist of her "joke".

--------------------

I am totally amazed that until today no one -the public who watch her crap- made a fuss about it. I guess what is good for the goose, deserves a real gander?

Now, I guess she was not being too impartial and had a great deal of fun-nudge, nudge, wink, wink getting her copy written then approved by her producers, who might just be too stupid to figure out what the magic word was all about.

I never thought I'd see the day when a major network would let such an obvious term go out over the air.

But then again, I never thought I get to see any challenge the Anne Coulter/Dude Looks LIke a Lady achievement award.

------

Rachel ManCow is a funny, desperate icon, that has an array of idiotic facial expressions that go along with the idiotic 'news/opinions she fronts on her show.

I wonder if CNN will give her a job when the shine comes of the turd?

[Puckstop31]

Amen. Sour grapes IMHO.

Sour grapes about what? Because if you mean about Obama winning... You don't know what you are talking about. The press did a good job of making it seem like that is what these events were about.

Its not about Democrats, Republicans, George Bush, Barack Obama or any single personality.... It is about the culture in Washington DC. The utter hypocrisy of ALL of them.

WE have to spend our money wisely and keep the checkbook balanced... Why don't they? When we take a loan, we have to pay it back and take loans that we can reasonably pay back... Why don't they?

Most politicians can't even pay their back taxes!

So you say. Then why this --

Kate Maloney held a cardboard sign that read "Pin the tail on the jacka$$" with a picture of Obama on a Democratic donkey.

Other protesters also took direct aim at Obama. One sign in the crowd in Madison, Wis., compared him to the anti-Christ. At a rally in Montgomery, Ala., where Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" blared from loudspeakers, Jim Adams of Selma carried a sign that showed the president with Hitler-style hair and mustache and said, "Sieg Heil Herr Obama."

The Hitler 'stache is really a fun kinda accessory!

I do remember GWB being adorned with one and everyone dying with anger about GW "Big Brother" Bush enacting the Patriot Act.

No one wanted to have the gov't. get into their email, phone or computer records, but they sure as shiat want a bailout because they were stupid with money and/or investments.

Protesters always showed up at the "G" gatherings, broke, burned and tossed bricks, rocks and bottles at the cops. And nothing but a 'Tsk, Tsk' from the CNN/MSN/MSNBC desk drivers.

Hundreds of gatherings-pretty peaceful and hassle free-except for that Ted Nugent, who assailed the crowd with his loud axe-and the media really showed their true colors.

I'd really like to see what AH would look like with an afro and a tan.

PS,

You are correct about the hypocrisy on 'the hill', My gal, Nancy Pelosi made a comment that dismissed the relevance of the TTPs.

God,
Please remove the stupidity and the arrogant leadership from our Congress and strike the women politicians from Cah lee for nee ah with some forethought, sense of their constituents and the ability to think before they blather on aimlessly.

Amen.
