By far the biggest 'tea party' protest yet. "The million moron march" - Bill Maher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I posted an article covering it and the picture from the article.

I grabbed it because that's what was on google news (my home page). The picture you linked isn't. They obviously hand picked one that would paint the protest in the worst light. I could do the same for any of the GW Bush protests. Take a group of people with legitimate concerns, but only show pictures of the most radical to move an audience towards ones biased view. And the quotes they used are also hand picked to have only the dumbest. It's like when Hannity goes out and interviews 200 Democrats, then shows only the most idiotic responses and claims it was the consensus.. As the morning wore on, more and more demonstrators arrived, identifying themselves as Republicans, libertarians and independents. Several speakers denounced the health care plan as “socialism.” A few Confederate flags waved in the air, but there were hundreds of American flags and chants of, “USA! USA! USA!” A young girl held a sign, saying, “Don’t redistribute the wealth of my Barbies.” Edited September 12, 2009 by mr_genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2009 -> 11:04 AM) More Healther propaganda. When a guy like Glenn Beck, who once said this: You know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims’ families. It took me about a year. Um, and I had such compassion for them and I really, you know, I wanted to help them, and I was behind — let’s give them money, let’s get them started, and all of this stuff. And I really didn’t — all the 3,000 victims’ families, I don’t hate all of them, I hate about, probably about ten of them. But when I see 9/11 victim family, you know, on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh, shut up.’ I’m so sick of them. Because they’re always complaining. And we did our best for them. And again, it’s only about ten. ...tells people to go to Washington to protest something I can't help but to agree with Maher's assessment.

You can say 'librul' all you want, but they are pro-Obama. which is fine, they can be pro-whatever they want as far as I'm concerned as long as they don't get special treatment from the White House Edited September 12, 2009 by mr_genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
