September 13, 2009 at 3:25 am Remember when the wing-nuts routinely dismissed anti-Iraq protesters? So I'm going to take these people as seriously as they Right took someone like Cindy Sheehan. And how sad that they hold the office of the presidency in such contempt. Honestly, if they have so many problems with America they should leave.
September 13, 2009 at 3:27 am Alexander Hamilton had nothing to do with the creation of the Federal Reserve system. He did create the first US Bank which Andrew Jackson de-chartered during his presidency. "I overheard some young conservatives making fun of his disability." That's ridiculous - keep trying to paint us as haters/racists.
September 13, 2009 at 3:28 am No you didn't - where's the audio? They laughed at the man because his sign said "stand up for health care" and he had a disability.
September 13, 2009 at 3:29 am So it's all about the racism? If they were having these protests when the bailouts came - under a white president - they might have more credibility.
September 13, 2009 at 3:31 am "Honestly, if they have so many problems with America they should leave." It's funny how the teacher's union has made it almost impossible to fire even the most incompetent of teachers but you can't even get hired.
September 13, 2009 at 3:46 am "So it's all about the racism?" Bush spent like a drunken sailor and routinely violated the rights of American citizens re: unlawful detention and spying on citizens. How many teabagger parties were there between 2001-2008?
September 13, 2009 at 3:47 am "It was kind of you to do so." Bush and the GOP ruined my country, especially its economy. I'll be happy to return when the time comes and Obama has fixed all of the many catastrophes you racist clowns caused.
September 13, 2009 at 3:57 am "Obama has fixed all of the many catastrophes you racist clowns caused." As bad as Bush was for spending more money than he should have Obama makes him look like a miser. Are you aquainted with the monetary phenemenon known as inflation? Most of the time you have to get hired before you join a union.
September 13, 2009 at 4:10 am It means that the American right is pissed off enough to emulate leftist tactics. Unless of course you are dissenting Obama policy, then it goes instantly from patriotism to racism.
September 13, 2009 at 4:11 am Jaim, wow, Bush and the GOP didn't ruin my country, so where are you from, Iraq or Afghanistan. Oliver, "Don't Back Down" + A Bee = Most Unclear Sign Of The Day. Yea, sorry could only afford my old high school football banner since Obama only left me with change.
September 13, 2009 at 6:25 am I notice that the flag is not burning -- that would be a demonstration of the left wing attitude towards the flag. I don't see any injured policeman, broken windows , or burning vehicles : yep, a right - wing demonstration, all right .
September 13, 2009 at 6:46 am Honestly, if they have so many problems with America they should leave. Just because bailing on the country when you don't like things here is your solution doesn't mean it should be theirs. I'm surprised you're not telling liberals here to leave the country like you did since these things piss you off so much.
September 13, 2009 at 6:47 am And I am still waiting for a plausible connection between these demonstrations and racism -- besides , "Oh, you just know they're racist". My bet is that many of these people voted for Pres Obama, and they now realize they bought a pig in a poke, and they are pissed.
They laughed at the man because his sign said "stand up for health care" and he had a disability. I don't know, but C'mon, you don't live forever like that. Surely there's more interesting things to do than take such delight in mocking people you disagree with that it's worth a whole Saturday for.
September 13, 2009 at 7:01 am And I am still waiting for a plausible connection between these demonstrations and racism -- besides , "Oh, you just know they're racist". It takes no thought or imagination to make that charge, Frank. The charge means nothing any more, save for the tiny spark it gives the one saying it, merely from the memory of days past when it did get a rise out of someone.
September 13, 2009 at 7:05 am The fact that there were no teabagger parties between 2001-2008 isn't about racism (there were African-Americans at the rally today), as much as it is about the fact that the first letter of the political party Obama belongs to starts with a "d" and not an "r." " Right, Brian, comparing Obama to Hitler AND Stalin and implying that Obama, through his health plan, would kill granny ("Save Granny.

September 13, 2009 at 7:23 am No you didn't - where's the audio? That's ridiculous - keep trying to paint us as haters/racists. PFFT-even if Oliver had a tape you'd claim it's a lie and he's just trying to "smear" good Americans.
September 13, 2009 at 7:27 am My bet is that many of these people voted for Pres Obama, and they now realize they bought a pig in a poke Yeah, you just keep repeating this to yourself and one day maybe it'll become the truth.
September 13, 2009 at 7:32 am Seriously, you guys kill me. we could easily say the same thing of your "ilk" in these photos. Pretty obvious many of them have no lives aside from being Glennie's foot soldiers against a more "colorful" America.
September 13, 2009 at 7:33 am Yeah, you just keep repeating this to yourself and one day maybe it'll become the truth. Aside from the colorful language, polls confirm it, durablend. They're not leaving the country, as Jaim advocates for when one is unsatisfied with life, but they aren't happy with the current leadership. And if all this is phony outrage, why so much interest from all you guys? Why would someone take a whole day to go downtown and take pictures to report on why he hates so many people?
September 13, 2009 at 7:34 am Funny, I don't remember any conservatives demanding audio when Edward Klein alleged that Edward Kennedy liked to "joke" about Chappaquidick; com site) from treating the allegation as fact and bashing the now-deceased Kennedy.

Don't know if you mean Glenn Beck or Glenn Reynolds, but if you look at Reynold's site, you'll see many protesters are parents.
September 13, 2009 at 7:48 am Funny, I don't remember any conservatives demanding audio when Edward Klein alleged that Edward Kennedy liked to "joke" about Chappaquidick; com site) from treating the allegation as fact and bashing the now-deceased Kennedy. There's audio of Ted Kennedy's good friend and biographer, Edward Klein, saying this was true, daniel.
September 13, 2009 at 8:02 am 95% of this is all about your racist outlook, AO. So anywhere from 60,000 to 80,000 people show up for these protests and Jaim math says that 57,000 to 76,000 people showed up simply because they hate black people. Please stay in South Korea so American children are not subject to your ravine deep stupidity in the classroom. Interestingly, I don't see any anti-war protests despite Barack Obama ramping up operations in Afghanistan. Using the same pretzel logic we see here that says 95% of these protesters are just racists, it means all of those anti-war protesters were a bunch of fakes and it was all about hating on President Bush. It's just amazing how the attitudes change when the parties change. Before: Protesting is an example of Americans exercising their rights as Americans! Now: You protesters are all a bunch of un-American, McCarthyite racists! Pretty soon we're basically going to be down to this: Person A: Do you agree with Obama about ?
