9.12 DC TEA PARTY - MARCH FOOTAGE WITH INTERVIEWS (lol)

[video=youtube;lUPMjC9mq5Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUPMjC9mq5Y[/video]

The interviewers questions and comments are great

 

For an "astroturf" movement, the signs seem pretty amateurish to me. Now for production value, check this out: [video=youtube;WtGrp5MbzAI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtGrp5MbzAI[/video]

Those little girls are too old for you? What kind of perv are you?

 

love the sightseeing guy carrying the huge cross over his shoulder who had no idea that he'd stumble across this great cross-section of Americans. The wheel on the bottom of it is a nice touch.

While I'm sure that they cherry picked the best bits in making the video, I truly wish I could have been there to observe this freak show myself

In my time in DC, I saw my fair share of protests. The one thing they all had in common was they all brought the whackjobs out of the woodwork.

 

Damn. I hadn't seen that. That crap is scary.

 

while at UofO I attended many a protest rally... I was never there to participate. Regardless of the issue gathering the masses on a particular day, some of the same people would always seem to be there to march around and scream stuff. After a while I started recognizing others like me who'd always be there just to watch... we'd give each other nods of acknowledgment and laugh knowing there were other freak show fans.

This particular gathering seems especially fun

Whenever I get a chance to watch a protest in Portland, I go. Those things do indeed bring out a lot of whacko's. But, it's great political fodder for lefties & righties to parade around.

 

here's the organizer on anderson copper expressing his bigoted views about the president:

What a joke that is.

After he explains more about Czars... "Oh, well I wasn't aware of that 'til now!" ... LOL! Of course you weren't. You were educated by Faux Noise and radical right-wing neocon radio.

Iranians protest Obama's health care reform today.

 

turn to the 1:05 point of the video and u will hear his infamous comments about the president being an "indonesian muslim turned welfare thug". these ppl were heralded by denny crane and like minded conservatives in the forums as "american patriots" but we all know they are nothing more than obnoxious bigots with nothing better to do.

 

With all the over the top signs and lack of knowledge going on, the "bury Obamacare with Kennedy" signs were the most disturbing to me.

 

There are some points in "The Office" where I just have to hit the mute button because it's just so hilariously, painfully, awkwardly stupid. I got to that point about 4 minutes into that first video and I just couldn't continue.

 

Some interesting context to put the rally in:
