This clip was a few seconds of a 2+ hour event… a few seconds specially chosen to show the attendees in the worst light possible. It was not very representative of the event as a whole. I guess the editor of the clips took his lessons from Michael Moore, though Moore at least shows some talent in his propaganda films. I was surprised that this editor was willing to show that there were black protesters, though. After all, everyone who attended was only there because they are racists, right?

Well, lefties, enjoy your 6 months of $8 tax cuts (yes, they will expire this fall, and they sure are dinky, boy did you get fooled, huh?) then come back to earth and figure out where all these trillions of dollars are going to come from! (Hint: taxing the richest Americans at 100% of their pay (every dime they have) won’t cover it!) And when your tiny little brains finally realize that you are going to actually have to play a part in paying for this ridiculous spending, I will have no sympathy for you.

We have money to invade other contries, start wars, destabalize the middle east, spend millions on single use “smart bombs” but not to help our own economy? Helping our economy makes sense.

Funny how this is the only one of your posts to get comments.

Awww, are the poor little Lefties getting upset because Americans are invoking their rights to assembly and speech?

Let’s all ridicule the Republicans, Democrats and Independents — all 500,000+ who came out to voice their disapproval of tripling the National Debt over the next ten years.
It took 230 years to create our current debt and 10 years to triple it — and you make fun of the protesters?!?!?! Lemmings.

I attended, and this is the most lop-sided video–specifically chosen speakers and individuals to make a point rather than report on the event as a whole. I notice that Smigiel isn’t mentioned in the blog, although he was front and center for quite a bit of the time during the heavy rain.

My group was made up of atheists who simply disagree with the way the government spends our tax dollars–not just during the Obama administration. Everyone should be outraged about the hidden pay-offs to Wall Street, where bonuses were the equivalent of many people’s salaries.

for those of you who disagree no one forced you to attend , but it is our right as citizens to protest what what we feel is wrong. It would appear that many people who voted for Obama are not pleased with the way the country is going. I wonder what would happen if the election was held now!

Oh and just in case you don’t know Fox news is the most watched news show. It shows that truth will win out if the people can only get a chance to hear it.

You are so right Margaret and Karen, the African Americans that are for Obama now will change their mind in the near future when he tells them what to do and when to do and how high to jump and last but not least so your broke I don’t care because now I am a dictator and you are nothing and that goes also for us white folks too and any other race you fools. You just don’t get it do you. If Obama was all that great of a President he would fire Ken Lewis in a heart beat but he want. I have a little money in Bank of America for retirement but as soon as possible I’m pulling it out and putting into my local small community bank and thats what ALL you people should do asap. Let bank of america sink!!!!

Bravo! Bravo! Brian! I was also at the Annapolis Tea Party and didn’t see
the guy in the Hitler shirt. Remember Libs; the government works for our
liberty and sovernity not the other way around. Last I checked the constitution was written to protect our rights for freedom not the government’s freedom to spend our future.

Why is it that when I protest against “Government” policy that I’m labeled as a racist and a right wing extremist??
I was in Annapolis to protest against the 27% of my weekly paycheck being taken from me and my family. I work hard for my money and when my family has to cut back on everything and struggle to pay our bills, I get mad!!!! I can use that money to prosper. Oh but isn’t that what is written somewhere in that paper called the Constitution?? I have to run my house on a balanced budget. Oh, but isn’t that what the Constitution requires our government to do??
This isn’t a party issue. This isn’t a race issue. This is OUR government operating outside the Constitutional guidelines for which it is sworn to uphold.
The government does not have the power to do so and it is up to “We the People” to say and do something about it.
So next time I am being labeled as a racist, right winger, Bush supporter remember that it was people like myself that you can thank because you no longer have to bow to a king and be ruled with out Democracy.
I suggest you take a moment from your day and give the Constitution a fresh look.

I attended the tea party in Annapolis. I took off work to do so in the pouring rain. The t-shirt and the clip shown were not representative of the entire event nor the mood of the protesters. This selective reporting is pushing an agenda that is unsupported by all the facts.
