Daily Gut: Rightwing Cranks
by Greg Gutfeld
So just as the other networks predicted, the April 15th tea parties were nothing but cauldrons brimming with rage. Rage against Obama, rage against the government, rage against these troubled times. Take a look for yourself.
(Roll footage of recent New York City anti-Israel protests, with their hate filled signs and chants)
Oh, sorry. Wrong tape. (We must have a new guy in the control room, probably from MSNBC). Anyway, while I was watching the protests, I couldn’t help but feel the anger building among these folks – and I knew it wouldn’t be long before their fury would turn frightening. Like here:
(Roll footage of G20 protesters rioting and smashing bank windows in London)
Whoops. My apologies – we can`t seem to get this right. Anyway, can we actually show some real footage of what went on yesterday?
(roll footage of actual tea parties)
Yep – those look like real extremists.
Actually, they look like people who own riding mowers. Fact is, I couldn’t find one violent incident among hundreds of demonstrations that took place during this synchronized event. Granted, I didn’t look too hard – but seriously: why is that not the story of the day?
I mean, not one person threw a chair through a store window. But that’s probably because that person owns the store. Or at least knows someone who owns the store.
Also, I noticed that most people at the parties were kinda like me – over 40 and overweight – and it’s hard to throw chairs when you get winded throwing a Frisbee.
But no matter – whether or not you care – the MSM would rather have you look at these people not just as jokes – but as cranks. Which is why someone needs to buy Susan Roesgen a mirror.

The only interruptions at the Atlanta Tea Party were Obama people. And I mean 5-6 people that had Obama signs and saying, "He's our president" Clueless. Oh and S. Roesgen got hers after CNN turned off their cameras.
Crank it up!
Here are a series of pictures of those dreaded right wing extremist in Tulsa, OK. I kept waiting for cars to be overturned, windows smashed, bottles thrown at the cops, etc., then I remembered, we're grown ups.

The disconnect between reality and fantasy has never been more on display then on this issue- tens of thousands of average citizens spontaneously conduct hundreds of rallys all over the country and the story is
A) Ignored, or B) mocked, and in the most derisive of terms… the CNN propagandist was most telling.
We are becoming more like the UK every day (not good for us OR them) where everything is totally politicized; you have liberal news organs and conservative (what passes for that, anyway) news and people patronize that what pleases them.
The problem is objectivity flies out the window…
This reminds me of a few years ago in our area (southern midwest) when a devestating tornado went through. That evening, NBC news went to a reporter on the scene. The conversation went like this: (news anchor) "so what has the crime been like since the tornado went through?" (reporter) "well, there hasn't been any crime. (anchor) "Do you mean the police and the national guard are keeping things quiet for now?" (reporter) "no, I mean there isn't any need for that. (anchor, not understanding this at all) "Well, why aren't people rioting like they did in New Orleans, what is going on there?" (reporter) "this is the midwest, even people that have lost everything are out helping other people." (anchor) "OK, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I'd like to hear more about that!
Exactly why this cop made a 'slap the left' music CD–Someone had to-I did!.

The Tea Party coverage on FOX showed people having a wonderful time. When people were asked why they were there, they gave reasoned and well thought out answers regarding the over-reach of the federal Gov.
Bunch of crazy SOBs!!!
Greg, That line about getting winded throwing a frisbee was hilarious LOL!!!
My Lord! …Look at the rage in that photo!
I can feel the spittle coming through my screen!
This is yet another reason a stand with conservatives.
Make a point.
Don't be drama queens.
Go back to work.
Love it.
BTW,I couldn't make my local tea party because I had to work.
I was waiting for the water cannons and rubber bullets, but NOOOOOOO! We even picked any trash and threw it in the nearest trash receptical. There was not one vulgar word uttered, well, except for "Tax"! Lots of singing and chanting though!
BTW Greg – I was caught in that NYC Pro-Hamas rally quite by accident and was called all sorts of nasty names (some I did not realize were nasty like "yenta"). Scary stuff.
By the way,… you know that obnoxious reporter that harassed that guy holding his baby at one of the Tea Parties? Well, in case you haven't seen it, here is what happened afterwards- she received a lovely smack-down by a woman who was standing near by. Fun to watch!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd2tg8gxCDU&eu...
Where is my Water Cannon?!? I DEMAND TO BE WATER CANNONED!!!
lol
Sarcasm?
Be very careful, you may be labeled as an anarchist.
So much for the 1st Amendment.
I'm cranking it up as fast as I can, because they're wan . . . , uh, never mind. No tea bag jokes today, either.
The leftist CNN bint has now had her unprofessional conduct *defended* by the network- she was just "doing her job."
And you know what? Even after thisnaked display, the Left is still going to claim that liberal bias in the media is a right-wing myth!
Keep it coming, Americans. As the Obamatons and their amen corner get increasingly desperate in their efforts to crush dissent, the more they reveal their totalitarian impulses.
I truly believe the unemployed lefties that protest as a profession, love the water canon. It's gives them that needed shower they would normally get in between government checks. The people here at the tea parties have jobs and probably some sort of bath tub or shower and don't need them provided by the local police. So we, by nature, are more behaved at our protests.

There were a lot of cranks at out Tea Party here in Arkansas…..
I had to keep moving cause some old woman kept sitting her lawn chair directly behind where I was standing and then began poking me with her cane yelling…."Move it or lose whippersnapper".
Our Tea Party was packed with gun-toting, hate spewing grandpa's and grandma's.
The party only lasted half of the normal time though. 15 mins into it half the crowd fell asleep in their lawn chairs.
The afternoon April sun was quite nice yesterday (I digress)
Made my heart warm to be included with "The Greatest Generation" that saved us so many years ago.
Here ya go!

And that is "The Rest of the Story".
Thank you!
Hey! Let me 'slap the left' for you! This police officer home- recorded two music CD''s that point out–duh–libs are cowards, spenders, pervs and self-agrandizing. (I just finished 'Irregular Joe' about Mr. Biden)Hear the music @

Reporters also couldn't understand why there was little to no looting in Mississippi after the Gulf Coast towns were flattened down to the foundation slabs by Hurricane Katrina, unlike the simultaneously looting in New Orleans from the Katrina-linked flooding after the levee broke. Somehow the looting was Bush's fault, but the rescue efforts in Mississippi (surprisingly, under a Republican governor and Republican mayors) just couldn't be explained. FEMA and Brownie were totally unprepared though.
Great video. The Reporter is clueless. Left or Right, how is the govt wasting money a GOOD thing?
I don't think the Tea Parties were populated by rightwing cranks. A rightwing crank would be that guy in Pittsburgh who shot 3 cops because he thought Obama was coming to take his guns. The Tea Parties were populated by Republican partisans mad because they lost the election, mad because they lost the fight on the stimulus bill, and mad they are losing the battle of ideas. Sorry everyone didn't quiver and report with straight face your plastic partisan uprising.
To make the Gregalougue complete, you need to figure out how to sneak in a picture of Keith Olbermann at his most Special Commenting psychotic during that segment on the show, in order to show the DHS what they should be looking for,
CNN is now a "blocked" channel at my household. They are just shameless.
Was it just me or did anyone else find it odd that Anderson Cooper and the MSNBC hacks were so familiar with the term "tea-bagging"?
I had to look it up in the Urban Dictionary to get the joke. I guess I'm just not as sophisticated as the Euro-libs.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch (actually, the University of North Carolina), Tom Tancredo was shouted down and interrupted during a permitted speech against extending college benefits to illegal alien students. He cut the speech short after protestors refused to leave and then broke a window. Where was S. Regressive from CNN? Where were her agression, questions and dismissive attitude? Nowhere to be seen, of course, because CNN agrees with the protestors and their violence (always from their side) paints them in unflattering yet true colors, which the press wants to keep hidden.
I have a Super Soaker and a regular squirt gun. Will that do?
I took my family to a tea party in Kansas City and don't remember seeing any police there. Of course, there was not need to have police there except for traffic control for the 10,000 that showed, but they were all very orderly leaving the various parking lots anyway. This crowd, Costco and lawn mowers is apt, was well behaved, lots of excuse mes, would you like a pamphlet, would you like a flag ?
Having been to some protests earlier in my life, I didn't miss the tear gas, the runs down alleys with cops chasing, in fact I don't even miss being a liberal.

somecat, Please whatever happened to the Move.on.org or George Soros. When the Anti-War Protest came in 2003 they had Grassroots! Now its Our Turn!
Remember what Liberals said during the PAst 8 years! DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC! I SAY OBAMA DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC!
Thanks for posting this video. I am glad someone put that woman in her place.
Which rally in Arkansas were you at? I served a Mormon mission that covered part of Arkansas, and was in Fayetteville and Rogers. Just curious.
"No tea bag jokes today"
As it should be.
Honest (or at least irrefutable) bias beats pretend objectivity any day of the week.
Sorry somecat, apparently you weren't paying much attention to the news. A significant number of people at these Tea Parties were democrats and independents. We who are not transfixed with the idea that the government can do no wrong come from all backgrounds. Party aside, this is Americans sticking up for Americans for the future. I tried to use small words for you, but it really doesn't matter because you will still be stuck with your ideas anyway You are just here as a "mixer" trying to infuriate the people who read these articles. Don't worry, we still believe in free, uninhibited speech, but next time try to do some research before you open your yap.
Even I have my limits. Well, publicly anyway.
Sorry Hero but you are simply wrong. Did you hear that on Fox News? Neil Cavuto maybe? Search for the video of him off air estimating 5000 people at the event, and a few minutes later and going on the air claiming 2 or 3 times more than his off air estimate. You are being had Hero.
"He's our President"? No kidding. I bet those were the people who claimed that Bush wasn't their President because they didn't vote for him.
My sister and I attended the Houston Tea Party yesterday. We had a great time, even carrying around my sister's 8-month-old baby. Everyone stopped to ask to take pictures of the baby in her "Viva la Revolucion!" onesie (it had George Washington's picture on it instead of Che's). And though noticeably upset at the direction this country is going in, everyone was incredibly polite and friendly, complementing each other on their clever signs, saying "excuse me" for bumping into someone, complying with police direction, etc.
We wondered if there would be ACORN people or Anti-tea party people there. The estimate is that there were about 8,500 there total. Now, I could be wrong on how many were actually there, but my sister and I walked around the whole plaza where the party was being held and we saw 2 counter protesters. 2. Grand total. Uno, dos. And the signs they carried were less than inspiring, and certainly didn't ring of hope. One read "When teabagging remember to breathe through your nose." The other had a picture of Glenn Beck and read "Glenn Beck — American Idiot". That's it. That's the best they had. In the mean time, our signs read "Save Our Republic", "The Bill of Rights is not Negotiable", "Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Me = Right Wing Extremists", and "Free Markets, not Free Loaders". I believe we had quality and quantity on our side yesterday.
Awesome!
agreed. Still, there should be an objective take on hard news stories- the Fox mantra 'we report you decide'
is actually pretty well done there, and we don't see a lot of slants in their news division…
Um yeah, CNN's Roesgen not only aired some guy wearing a Bush/Hitler/Satan mask but used that guy as a prop to take potshots at Bush's distribution of federal aid in 2006. She even compared the Bush/Hitler/Satan guy favorably but saying at least he "brought money" http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=YmI4Y2Zk...
This is the most believable field report ever.
Politicians like Nancy Pelosi are treading on dangerous ground dismissing the real and justified anger of average Americans (http://conservativexpress.blogspot.com/2009/04/na... They are very likely to find themselves back in the private sector next election cycle.
Of course, that sounds like a FABULOUS idea to me! Unload the incumbents, send them all home. I really think some of our biggest problems are caused by those who have been in government the longest.
Naturally, they'd never vote for term limits, but if we need anything right now, that's it.
The people in the photograph don't appear to me to be mad. To me their smiling indicates that they must be pretty happy. If anything the only mad person is you. Apparently you must be angry that we all are not falling in lockstep with your ideological viewpoints.
That was awesome, but you could tell that slag from CNN wasn't listening to a word that woman said to her.
Sorry Hero you are simply wrong. It might be more fun to imagine you are part of a larger uprising but in reality it was a Republican tax day party. A pity party in my opinion.
What bothers me though is that at one point the "reporter" said something like she didn't call it a right-wing protest. She knows damn well she characterized it that way.
And shame on cowardly CNN for not showing the rebuttal. They did their usual shallow drive by and shut their cameras off. They had to know someone was going to address the obvious BS.
Of course she wasn't, she had the high and mighty smirk and tone of voice going the entire time.
I attended my first protest yesterday in Dallas…it was civil, positive, a message of less taxes, less Federal government, patriotic, arguing for the success and opportunity of ALL people, not just certain classes. People of all ages, including some minorities. Every American needs to hear what Raphael Cruz had to say, a Cuban
who lived in Cuba prior to Castro.
You couldn't be more wrong. Lemme guess, you're a democrat that really isn't interested in what anyone has to say that doesn't agree with you, right? You just figured you'd come here and wax superior cause your guy won, right? It's ok, you can admit it….everyone knows anyway….
These were peaceful demonstrations against what many (on both sides of the aisle) believe is the enormous over-reach of our government, the horrible future the government has in store for our kids. And it's not limited to Obama's administration, Bush started this nonsense, and Obama is making it much worse.
I will grant you that the people in the picture do not appear to be mad. I bet they were happy to be among like minded people airing their displeasure. That doesn't change the fact that this was a Republican rally. I think your side of the ideological divide is fine. You just need to remember we had an election both sides aired their ideology and your side lost. Elections have consequences.
I have a great idea!
Let's start sending Chap Stik to these MSM "journalists" because their lips must be so chapped from kissing Comrade Obama's butt so much. The first one would go to Chris Matthews.
BTW, I went to a tea party too in a small city here in SoCal. Not as big as some of the larger cities, but there were at least 85 or more people there (granted, not at one time, but showed nonetheless).
PS: I may be one of the radicalized Americans DHS warned you about. Chap Stik … hmmm.
The cool-aide must be extra strong today. Even in the CNN report there were signs pointing blame at the republicans as well as the democrats. Boy some crazy republicans at this tea party, what with bashing on their own party. Common sense tells me that there were more than just republicans there. But who knows, I am just a "Right-Wing Extremest" who just so happens to not be a Republican…
I hear you. I was one of the videographers at the Orlando Tea Party last night and I was very grateful for the "normalcy" of most of the people I met and talked with. There were a couple of people who were kooky opportunists but the other 99.9% were … my neighbors. It was awesome.
I hope this isn't rude, or make me seem like an opportunistic kook
, but I posted my first video from last night on my blog at http://www.randythomas.org/
Wow Daily Gut. You seemed to have as much trouble rolling the correct tape as the networks had when they rolled the wrong tape showing the Arab street cheering after 9/11!
We didn't have any problems at the tea party I attended.
Of course, we didn't have any CNN reporters teabagging us, so that's probably why it was a peaceful affair.
Or as much trouble as CNN has finding tape of a reporter whose lips AREN'T glued to Obama's buttocks….
Mountain Home….but don't tell any Feds that!!!! I was packing heat yesterday and I don't want to be moved up on the list of right wing disgruntled ex-military nut jobs…..Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Tea bag a Senator today!
Hiya Hank. Fairly accurate guess. Now let me guess a little something about you. You are a self important blow-hard who can't stand to read other viewpoints. You would rather live in a complete echo chamber so you can hold on to fantasies like "both sides of the aisle" participated. I am here reading your views at least. By the way it is laughable that you try to pretend that this has been bubbling up since Bush, but some how you didn't get fed up enough to hit the streets until Obama had been in office a few months. You are just mad because your guy lost, right? It's ok, you can admit it….everyone knows anyway….
Protest rallies tend to be pretty peaceful when there are only two or three people there, like there were at most of these little tea tantrums.
WAAAAAAH!!! widdle somecat is upset….
What's laughable is that you pretend to come here to read this stuff. You come here for a fight, not to challenge your viewpoint. You're all in denial about everything you don;t like no matter how true it is.
But whatever, you can be all self-righteous. It's what balloon-heads do best….I could care less about you….
Well, according to the libs, we are all kooks because we want the government to remain in its place. This cop made 2 music CD's to remind them how stupid that it. I call it my drive-by slapping of the Left–in song.

We had an unpleasent incident at my tea party. Some loony drove by yelling at us to put our klan hoods back on.
I was just waiting for the subject of the “numbers” of people showing up at these “tea parties” to be diminished, so last night, I put together my little arial shot of the Sacramento State Capital grounds where I attended.
I’ve been to at least a dozen different kind of events, rallies and protests, (both from the left and the right), on those very steps since the 80’s. As a local professional commercial photographer, I’ve worked inside and outside of that building many times. I very familiar with that area.
➥http://www.screencast.com/users/GooDDaDDy/folders...
Look at the shaded area of my pic. Imagine every square foot of that area having a person filling it shoulder to shoulder, belly button to back pocket. Over a city block long and wide. I estimate that there were at least 10,000 people or more there. The red box is were the stage was and the yellow “X” is were I was standing for 3 hours watching the crowd grow.
(Note not one single local TeeVee station was there to cover the biggest event ever on those steps IN TEN YEARS, and there are over 6 stations in the STATE CAPITAL AREA.
Shameless. The year journalism died.
Not Over.
You read that as upset? I told you your guess was fairly accurate. You are not pulling my mask off Scooby Doo. I am here for a fight because I have a view about the tea parties that isn't the same as yours. Challenge away! Wouldn't be much of a fight if you didn't. Like you I am pretty entrenched with my world view so you are going to have to do better than WAAAAAAHHH to change my mind. If you could really care less why not just push the down thumb and move on lightweight.
You know, I agree with Hank and Hero. And please, please, accuse me of living in an echo chamber. I go to one of the most liberal schools in the country. In fact, I think I may have been the only one representing us at the Tea Party yesterday. So yeah, I'm never exposed to the other side of the argument. Has it ever occurred to you that people disagree with your point of view because they have listened and still don't like what they hear?
And with Bush, his "stimulus" was tiny to say the least. With only three months or so left in office, the "Hope" was that the next administration would "change" the trend. When they only made it worse, of course we're mad.
You know, people seemed inspired, not angry. I don't think I've ever seen a more peaceful protest. These people wanted to get their point across, not attack dissenters.
BTW, First Amendment: Freedom to Assemble
True, the only police we had stop by was for some illegal parking. Other than that, it was pretty quiet.
I haven't been waiting but a quick search comes up with this:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/4/16/72052...
Nice pictorial contrast there. We could do this all day…. Look I am not saying that there are not still a significant number of Republicans (I think about 25% identify now). I am saying that the tea parties were a Republican rally event about being mad that Obama is the president and the policies being implemented now are the policies he won the election with.
Anyone see Fox News ratings from yesterday? Through the roof! Yes, Obama. Keep ignoring the peasants. We will be heard.
Ivy sure I think people have listened and don't like what they hear. The fact is though the majority did and do like what they hear. We voted on the presidency, congress voted on the stimulus bill, they were elected by the people. That is how it works.
Agreed a lot nice people at the rallies. I know a few people who went. They were all Republicans or have always voted Republican. Assemble all you want.
I attended the Cincinnati Tea Party, my first ever protest march! Crowd estimates ranged from 4,000 to 6,000 in various media. What struck me was the amazing mix of “every day” people — VFW members, families with kids, men in business suits, construction workers, etc.
During the march from Fountain Square to City Hall, there was a small group of Obama supporters at one street corner shouting “O-Ba-Ma, O-Ba-Ma.” I just stopped near them and watched their interaction with the marchers. The march consisted of a sea of people stretching more than 10 blocks and as they passed the Obama folks, they simpled drowned out the “O-Ba-Ma” chants with “U-S-A.”
A couple of things struck me as I watched. First, one group was focused on a man…the other was focused on our country. Second, the marchers showed absolutely no animosity toward the Obama folks — many of them gestured to come join the march to save our country
And the MSM paints the attendees at these tea parties as right wing extremists or Republican patsies? Too bad they didn’t bother to talk to the people in the crowd…
White people are the root of all the world's evils, and all those white faces on t.v. made the libs uneasy. Blacks demonstrating good, white people demonstrating bad. Obama was suposed to bring us together, remember? Hasn't happened yet and doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.
Sounds like she´s selling something. "That´s fifty billion dollars for this state, sir!"
And if you call now you get this free Obama pendant keychain.
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1129640/obama_build...
Although it pains me I have to say this woman talking to the reporter didn´t make a very good argument. Too defensive ("This isn´t about Democrats and Republicans" – but it usually IS. So what?) and if you want to put some well-deserved blame on the Fed, you should at least sound like you know what it does.
The tea party I attended (about 1k people) was quiet and dignified. The signs were funny and smart — one kid held a sign that read "I owe WHAT?!!!"
Standing quietly int he middle of the group was a man holding a tattered American flag flown upside down, the signal for a country/flag in distress. How apropos.
What I'm seeing from the propaganda media is an almost USSR like hysteria against "counter revolutionaries".
That's exactly what I thought. I remember seeing the anti-war protest where I live (Colorado Springs–not exactly a liberal town, of course) about four years ago, and all 50 of the people that were there managed to trash Acacia Park before leaving. Then yesterday I saw the hundreds of people in the crowd at lunch, and after I got off work I walked by the park and it was the cleanest the park looked in months. Not only did the Tea Party folks pick up their own trash, they picked up the trash from all the potheads of Palmer. (Anyone from the CS area knows what I mean.)
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell ´em stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to ride the ferry cost a nickel, but in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Gimme 5 bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yes.The important thing was, I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…
Son, YOU lost the fight on the stimulus bill, too, whether you realize it or not. This isn´t a sports event.
And it isn´t play money either.
"Elections have consequences". Wow, a truer statement has never been uttered (or written in this case). Now we just have to wait and see what the "consequences" of the last election turn out to be. We should know in the next 5-10 years. Betting they're not what you expected.
I'm kind of disappointed that the lefties didn't have more plants– people posing as venemous right-wingers with disturbing signs, committing acts of violence and screaming unsavory things. I mean, do they want to undermine the counter-revoluton or not?
I attended and I am not a Republican, I am an Independent. Actually the vast majority of people who attended in NYC were Libertarians. So in fact you are wrong…
You know El Gordo, you couldn't be more right! It isn't about winners and losers. It's about doing what is best for this country. That is why I attended – Because our elected officials are not doing what is best for this country.
Jesus Himself could have come to one of these events, and CNN would have reported it as "Someone creating a disturbance", and Kieth Olbermouth would have labeled Him as "The Worst Person In The World"
What will it take for the world to finally understand, the MSM has mutated into nothing but a left-wing propaganda machine, on a par (or worse) than that used by the Nazis to manipulate and pacify the German people in WWII Germany.
Like Squealer the Pig in Orwells brilliant Animal Farm and the "Ministry of Truth" in 1984, the American MSM daily molds and slants the "news", laying down cover for the slow destruction of America, the US Constitution, and all we have stood for for 230 years.
Typical liberalism, ignore the concerns of the people and instead try to figure out a way to buy them off. It's been going on for decades, but now they're secure enough to actually come right out and say what it is: buying sympathy and silence at the least, and votes wherever possible, through "progressive" social handouts. She actually seemed shocked that the man didn't care about how much (expressed flat out in $s) that the federal government "cares" about him and his state.
And they wonder why some of us think that Obama's Senate seat really was up for sale…
nice
I was at our local tea party in Missouri yesterday, and it was a nice gathering, some 600 people in a city of 35,000. Nothing unruly there. Unfortunately, the college minions–I mean, students–are already spinning this however they can. I was just in a class where another student had gone to it and she said, "Oh just another bunch of old rich guys getting together," which was manifestly untrue. These people aren't just misinformed about what's going on, they're in full-blown denial.
Maybe you´re a bigger guy than I think. Can you point me to a link where you say the same thing to seething liberals circa 2000-2008? Was it "we voted" then? When "peace protesters" marched with banners saying (for example): We´ll support the troops when they shoot their officers, did you think: Shame, they must be Democrats?
Enjoy my musical shots at these liberal dopes–from my MSLSD tune, to 'Irregular Joe '(Biden), and my 'Fiarness Doctrine' song. Just a cop with some instruments, a home recorder, and a knowledge of the Constitution…

Dem strategy in 5 seconds: Just give people lots of money. For great justice! Because the government can make it´s own money, so there´s no downside. Genius! Bush is kicking himself for not figuring that out. Haha!
Sorry…I’ve been to the KosKids more than enough over the years checking out their rants, and I don’t want to give them any more traffic than they deserve.
First, I am not a Republican. I’ve always voted for the person and their policies over party. In the 70’s I even walked 5 miles in a snowstorm to vote for McGovern because I was too broke to own a car and I was a whacked out lib like him.
Most of the people I met yesterday had the same attitude I do, namely it’s not about parties, it’s about Big GOVERNMENT, and this administration IS going to start banning people guns, I give it less than six months for it to roll out.
No really ➜ http://kdka.com/local/automatic.weapons.Rendell.2...
Not Over.
I like what you have to say there young collage fella.
Sometimes I like to "talk" to like minded people with my views in an echo chamber, after hearing and reading all the lefty spin from all the other M$M day in and day out.
Not Over.
In case you've never read 1984, here's a sample (sounds like 21st century America):
If you haven't read this incredible, frightening book, you really should, before it is permanently banned by the Obama Administration. He is Watching…
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Somecat,
You, sir, are the Worst Person Ever!
Let's see:
Earth First! continues their terror.
Any number of anarchist groups engage in violent protests, including the Dem Nat'l Convention. We have Bloods, Crips, and Aryian Brotherhood folks who kill tens of thousands a year,a
nd Obama wants us to beware of…the soldiers who protect us.
My music slaps back!

I like it.
Good signs from yesterday's rally in Phoenix:
I'M A VETERAN, JANET, NOT A TERRORIST (We had a LOT of anti-Napolitano sentiment here, seeing as she damn near bankrupted our state before she left to become Miss Gaffe-of-the-Week at DHS)
I'M ONLY 10 AND MY BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND ME
MINORS HAVE NO VOICE IN THE POLLS
AND THE GOVERNMENT IS RAISING THEIR FUTURE BURDEN
ISN'T THAT CALLED "TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION"?
(picture of AR-15) COME AND TAKE IT
STOP IT, YOU'RE STARTING TO SCARE GEORGE ORWELL
I'M BROKE. THANKS, CONGRESS (held by a man in an Uncle Sam costume)
NO BIG GOVERNMENT (on a sign designed to look like a teleprompter screen)
200 YEARS TO BUILD THE GOVERNMENT
100 DAYS TO DESTROY IT
SAYING THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
IS SPENDING MONEY LIKE DRUNKEN SAILORS
IS AN INSULT TO DRUNKEN SAILORS
I CAN'T SPEND MY WAY OUT OF DEBT
WHY IS CONGRESS TRYING TO?
IF YOU:
* SMOKE
* DRIVE A CAR
* OWN A HOUSE
* ARE GOING TO DIE SOMEDAY
OBAMA DID NOT LOWER YOUR TAXES
We didn't have any big disruptions in Phoenix — a bunch of Ron Paulists tried to interrupt John Shadegg's speech, but that was about it.
Actually, I think the word you're looking for is "dissemble." Might want to check with a dictionary before you put on airs of superior intelligence. More to the point, I don't think anyone will deny that Obama won the election and therefore has the prerogative to implement his agenda. Meanwhile, we have the right to voice our opposition to it and will continue to do so. If Obama and his cronies want to stay in power, they ignore these protests at their peril. Another two years and you may find the shoe on the other foot–again.

I've heard rumblings that follow-up tea parties are going to be held on July 4. I urge EVERYONE to go to one.
I was at the Santa Monica and Van Nuys Tea Parties. Among the subjects in the pictures I took are: moms with babies, college students, gays, Republicans, Democrats, PUMAs, FairTaxers, Libertarians, Hispanics, Indians, African-Americans, skateboarders, veterans, the wheelchair-bound, and families. It was the most polite crowd of demonstrators you could ever imagine (except when a woman grabbed the banner from the Code Pink party crashers and tried to run away with it, but Code Pinkers don't count, do they?).
Another thing that happened was when a suspicious-looking student, who was an apparent MSM reporter-in-training, commented that the cars that were honking in support were mostly Mercedes, as a single honking Mercedes went by. I said that honks I heard were mostly coming from pick-up trucks and beat up Toyotas, which is exactly what happened next, as if on cue. So I shrugged and told the kid that some people see only what they want to see.
In any case, what you definitely won't see on the MSM is the African-American gentleman who showed up at both Tea Parties with his "OBAMA DOESN'T SPEAK FOR ME" sign.

Troll alert !!!!!
Try it in San Francisco. You'll get that in the first thirty seconds. They're usually flashing signs at the same time. If they're flashing gang signs, they're welfare kids. If they're flashing peace signs, they're trust fund liberals. I have a hand sign that I wave back with. In fact, I have two. One of them indicates their IQ, the other indicates what they're doing when they go home alone after a long day of living off the taxpayers.
This police officer took to a home digital recorder, his many instruments, and got off 2 music CD's that blare back at the Left. My Biden tune (Irregular Joe), my Al Gore tune (Hot Air) and many others say: You always blame America. Move to Cuba if its so awesome…Hear it @

Who cares what the seven viewers of CNN thought?
I'm sick of the lefties complaning that tea partiers didn't protest Bush's spending. They just don't get us! We are typically quiet people who don't like to rock the boat and don't complain in public. We were screaming at our TV's and computers and newspapers for months and Obama's double down stimulus package and the fact that the bill was never read before being voted on was the straw that broke our back. That's why we're finally protesting publically.
Try my tune 'Softball' and see how a cop with a few instruments slappedback at Chris Matthews and MSLSD.
http://www.conservativemusiconline.com
Imagine what would happen if Code Pink put on an Iraq War demonstration during the Bush years, and a Fox News reporter, not a commentator, debated the protestor.
CNN and MSNBC stink…as does Hardball, apltly named 'Softball' on my song of the same name. This cop writes music that confronts Lefties.

When I think about people torching cars in thre streets, I think of Muslim fundamentalists in Paris, and the Left during the Democratic Convention.
When I think about violence being advocated, I think about Bill Ayers, and our president writing a book endorsement for him.
When I think about how CNN pushes McVeigh in our face as the military example, I think of what would happen if we called Osama Bin Laden the Muslim example.
By the way, conservatives supported the death penalty for McVeigh. Liberals lit candles.
This conservative cop made 2 home made music CD's to remind the left we have a memory–in song.

Thanks for sharing. What a hack that woman is. The MSM no longer serves a useful purpose.
http://lonewolfarcher.blogspot.com
and your opinion is important why? are you someone of outstanding achievement, incredible brilliance? or, as it appears, just someone who can manage to click their way to the Daily Kos and CNN each morning to get your talking points?
You were obviously at a small rally. Which one did you go to?
What do these have in common?
The S.L.A., the Weather Underground, the S.D.S., Earth First!, Animal Liberation Front, anarchists groups by the hundreds…
Exactly.
This conservative cop says it in song:

2 homemade CD's-2 slaps at the Left. Someone had to do it–I did! These dopes are often heard on my songs in their own voices–so ironic.

My tea party consisted mostly of senior citizens. They tried tipping over some cars and break some windows but their walkers kept getting in the way.
There were also a bunch of stay-at-home moms who brought their home-schooled kids. The kids got bored and began playing tag. It's a good thing the cops came in with the tear gas and drove away those extremists before it got violent.
I posted this in another column on breitbart but I think the word should be spread. Hold a tea party the eve of the 2010 elections when all that energy and focus can really do some good. Charge up everyone when they can actually throw out the tax raising politicians. Don't throw tea in the harbor, throw tax raising politicians out of their offices
Gut, I had an inexplicable urge this evening to experience the torture reportedly experienced by Gitmo detainees… So I watched Olberman. He had Garofolo on. Waterboarding is nothing compared to 20 minutes with those two! It wasn't 10 seconds before i learned that the tea parties were all about racists who don't like our "black President". Thanks Kieth and Janeane, counting all those zero's in the debt we are taking on was giving me a headache. Nice to know it is all about racism! What a challenge: You lack sufficient grey matter to formulate an inteligent arguement, but you are over 12, so you can't call people doo doo heads any more. So…pull the racist card. Keith and Janeane, you are PSEUDOINTELLECTUALS! Let me explain. I am typing this slowly so you can understand. A pseudointellectual is a person exhibiting intellectual pretensions that have no basis in sound scholarship. In otherwords you are dumbasses pretending to be smart! Tune in tomorrow Keith and Janeane. I will explain the definition of prevaricator.
Awww….(kicks pebble dejectedly with shoe)
You guys are no fun.
Workin' on it…
Thank you for posting this! It was terrific! Won't see that on CNN. I wanted to be at our local Tea Party, but I was sick. But I was able to watch Fox & that way I was counted. I'm so glad so many people showed up!
Nice!
Hang tough, payday is a-comin'!
You want to see the government remain in its place — except when your party is running things. Then you're good with torture, abolition of habeas corpus, unlimited executive power, unprovoked war, ludicrous spending. It's why no one takes you seriously — because this entire protest amounts to "Waaaah! We lost the election!"
Ouch…+1
LawhawkSF will be here all week, ladies and gentlemen…try the veal!
Oh, yes, Through the roof. More than three million viewers. Heck, that's almost half what a new episode of Monk gets on USA. So clearly either you guys or an obsessive compulsive detective will win in 2010!
No, we're happy laughing at you. Carry on.
We don't like to rock the boat — except when our party loses! Then suddenly we hate everything we didn't mind as long as our party was in power! Because we can't believe that we're a tiny minority in this country!
I'm with Mjolnir on this one, major +1 for you buddy!
Amen. And further on the point that we don't complain about Bush's spending, I offer the following analogy: We are at a bar, you watch me have four beers and then drive home. The next evening I watch you drink 12 beers followed by six shots of tequila and four vodka tonics. I suggest you do not drive, to which you reply I have no room to talk since I drove last night after four beers. In other words, Bush drove buzzed, but Obama is rip roaring drunk! That is the difference MSNBC!
Oh, yeah, the "You damn liberal kids! Get off of my lawn!" demographic…
Perhaps you might also, I don't know, give an example of what you disagree with instead of simply hurling insults. Oh wait, I know what it is — all that stuff you liked when Bush did it but now hate because there's a Democrat in the White House. Carry on.
Being from the Springs, yep, I know what you mean.
That sounds like a party well worth attending.
Yeah. We're no fun since we went establishment.
Yeah. We're no fun since we went establishment.
(SNORE)
Believe what you want…please. Keep believing that. Never stop believing it.
Going back to sleep…and waiting for 2010. Impatiently.

You got it totally wrong. 99% of the people posting on this website that consider themselves conservatives didn't like Bush's spending either. We really, really don't like doubling, tripling and quadrupling down on the spending in a blatant play to seize perpetual party power and governmental control. Now wr1 it's your turn: Without playing the Bush card, (he is no longer around, you know) explain to me why it is a good idea to pursue a policy of borrowing trillions of dollars we don't have from the Chinese, then printing it when they cut us off to fund programs that have not yet been explained and are not even understood by those who advocate them, but modeled after programs that were tried in the last century that failed miserably. Then, how do we do this without experiencing devastating dollar devaluation, crushing taxes, running business out of the country and economic depression? Remember, you can't say Bush!
We had a few in the ABQ, but that's because there were WAY too many people there than they expected would show. Imagine the cops' surprise when EVERYONE spent all their time asking after their comfort and needs. There were 10 or 12 cars and such, a couple from DHS, and everyone standing around looking for something to do. They ended up walking up and down the street making sure no one was too close to the traffic zooming by, or on the center median. Two miles, both sides of the street, total of four, give each person two feet to stand in…carry the two…15,000 or so with pluses, (people close together) and minuses, (intersecting streets). And nothing to do. Scary. If I were a lib statist, I'd get under the bed before it gets crowded.
Or we force our representatives to live in the districts they represent at all times, not just maintain residency; if people can talk to robots on Mars, we should require our reps to telecommute. The only time the whole bunch can get together at once is for State of the Union. Make the lobbyists fly all the time everywhere.
Take away the big DC "Look at me" parties and such, force them to actually run around their districts and states talking to their constituents, instead of staffers doing it. Make it a friggin' JOB, not a privilege posting forever. And we can make that a state mandate, not fight them and the Constitution amendment procedures both.
Borrrrriiiinnnnnnnggggggg…..
Sorry, that was the ACORN nut counter-protest. A snorefest if ever there was one. Whatsa matter, not enough stimulus money to buy your army outta bed?
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
Sometimes, just sometimes, (not often mind you), you make more since than I do.
I just love conservative "echo chambers.” It gives the trolls something to bitch about. (Like they really need something to bitch about for the love of Steve.)
Not Over.
Works for me. Better than the others did.
And what's with Monk winning in 2010? A fictional character beat your real candidate? We won because Ambassador Soval had a more logical platform than they both did?
Your grasp on reality is slipping again…they have meds for what ails you nowadays. Have your therapist increase yours before we find you trying to shoot "slags" with a saltwater filled Sooper Soaker.
How's that "Morons for Dummy's" course you're taking? Seems to be working out for you just fine troll meat.
Not Over.
Thank you. Thank you. I'll be appearing at the Improv in L.A. next week. Please contact my agent Andrew for tickets. And now back to you Greg and Andy.
It don't matter that you're speaking in common sense, easy to understand, plain as the nose on wr1's face, (when it's not up the arse of one of it's lefty maggot friends of course), in the eyes of the loony left, you're still a RRRAAACCCIIISSTTT!!! Mo Fo. The shrinks call it "projection". I can read too.
Not Over.
"That´s fifty billion dollars for this state, sir!"
The protesters understand where that $50B is coming from.
I wonder if Susan Roesgen does?
The real point that they missed is that tax-thieving feds never mention where that money came from in the first place. From the taxpayers. The taxpayers who paid in four or five hundred billion to get the "gift" of that fifty billion back. Liberals, welfare recipients, Obamists and CNN reporters have absolutely no idea that the government can only 'give" money that it took at the point of an IRS gun in the first place. It doesn't create wealth, it devours it. You took a cow from me, and gave me back a hamburger. Where's the [rest of] the beef?
Lenin would be disappointed.
I was also at the one in KC. The only curse words I heard is when I was walking in. A truck drove by and the passenger yelled "Yeah that's all we needed, another eight years of f**king Bush"! Obviously, not a Tea Party Participant.
As I always put it, Bush´s spending is to Obama´s spending like a slap in the face is to a bullet in the head. You don´t have to like either, but if you can´t see the difference… look at the numbers. The difference is staggering.
Huh? You still don't get the point of my post. We were complaining – just not in the public square. We just finally had enough! By the way, the "we" is people from all political persuasions.
Actually, I remember a lot of conservative grumbling over the Republican Congress and Bush´s spending on NCLB and Medicare. But at least these were carefully planned (and bipartisan) programs that addressed a specific need, not the "let´s burn money NOW" approach of Pelosi and Obama. Bush also tried to address social security in his second term in a responsible way, he just couldn´t make much headway.
I also have to say, a budget deficit of, say, 2-3 % of GDP is not necessarily a break with conservatism, at least not in a recession or a war. On the other hand, you can regulate businesses to death and impose gigantic burdens on consumers without spending a single cent. Of course, Pelosi/Obama do that and are going to bury us in debt.
I do get it. I simply don't believe it. I don't believe you were all complaining for eight years, and then suddenly found you'd had enough when a Democrat entered the White House. Maybe you've convinced yourself to believe it, but you're never going to convince anyone who doesn't already agree with you.
This didn't start "when a Democrat entered the White House". The public protesting started with the Stimulus Bill that was a rush to vote on – before anyone could fully read it- and then no rush to sign it into law. Most of us realize too that the White House is not the problem – they only sign off on the spending. The real problem is Congress because they control the purse strings. Why do you think we had a surplus after the Clinton admin? It was because Conservatives controlled the spending in Congress. We are just as disgusted and disappointed that many of them didn't term limit themselves as promised and went on a spending spree.
On another point – Republicans were spending alot of the money on Security (where we get alot more from each dollar spent) and we weren't in a recession. If the spending they did got us into this recession, how is more than twice that spending going to get us out?
Same thing after the flooding in WI just last year. Same story, same dumbfounded confusion, same conspicuous lack of unhinged hooligans. (I might also add that some towns were under water longer than New Orleans.)
Olbermann and Garofolo are calling us racist teabaggers. In contrast I think my "insults" are pretty tame in calling them pseudointellectuals and liars. And unlike their insults, they are actually true.
I'm just glad that Homeland Security is on the case and these tea-party cranks won't get far.
I went to the Glendale Tea Party, though it was scheduled to run from 12p to 2p, and I wasn't able to get there until 2:20. There was still a small crowd gathered there – probably around 50 people – and two media vans from different channels were finishing up their coverage. I saw two people who were in somewhat heated arguments, but everyone else was smiling, holding signs and flags, and waving at the people who drove by honking their horns (which happened about once every two or three minutes). Like the other accounts I've read, these appeared to be regular people: mothers with their kids, people of a variety of ethnicities and ages, etc. There were signs posted on traffic light poles that read "Proud to be a RADICAL American!", with RADICAL as an acronym listing qualities such as "responsible," "dignified", and so on (I can't remember the entire list) – essentially reminding people to behave themselves. It was very much a peaceful demonstration; I just wish I'd been able to see it earlier. In any case, if these folks were "far right extremists", then I guess I must be one, too.
That's what really galled me about that reporter's response. She spits this in the guy's face as if this was some sort of cutting argument-silencer. As if Lord Obama was handing out free candy from the Magical Money Fairy What Lives In The Clouds, and we should get on our freakin' knees to thank him for it.
Well, I mean, that's what galled me aside from the whole, "As you can see, people are ANGRY and this is all a RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY funded by FOX NEWS" propagandist thing, complete with the anchorwoman closing out the story with an officially condemning Sad Face.
Amen! I think that the tea parties will have those in elected positions at least look up from America's checkbook for five minutes to consider before they plunge back into the check book and start giving out our great grand children's taxes.
This cop had to do it–I stayed up all night and wrote 'Homeland Insecurity'…my musical shot at these idiots!

Rioting & looting only seem to happen in democrat-run urban centers. Poverty is not a factor. And it doesn't require a natural disaster, of a disaster of any kind. I remember "celebration" riots in Detroit after the Tigers won a world series.
Right on, Tominator! Janeane's incessant use of the term "anti-intellectual" when referring to pretty much all of us out here in flyover country reminds me of Indigo's line from The Princess Bride – "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means". Maybe we should give Janeane and Keith and other left-wingers a break when it comes to their reactions to the Tea Parties, though. After all, the Tea Parties couldn't have seemed much like protests to them – no broken store windows, no rocks, bottles, or molotov cocktails thrown at cops, no "Bush=Hitler" signs…
Keep smoking the leftist ganja somecat. Nobody who says this is all sour grapes has yet been able to explain why it is a good idea to borrow trillions from the Chinese and then print more when they cut us off. And then how to avoid inflation, devastation of business, recession, depression, etc. Please explain.
America is in trouble, and the states who are employing liberal tax and spend policies (New York, California) are leading the way toward economic oblivion.
We will see in 2010 if all the sheeple who put dems in power will show up when Obama is not a drawing card.
