CNN's Roesgen grills tea party protestor who calls Obama a "fascist," says protest "highly promoted by FOX
By John Amato Wednesday Apr 15, 2009 11:49am
I'm supposed to go to a Santa Monica tea party, but I'm swamped here. Neiwert went to one in Seattle. In Chicago the wackos are out in force.
Wingnut: He's a fascist.
Roesgen: Why do you say he's a fascist? He's the President of the United States. Do you realize how offensive that is?
Wingnut: I think he's a fascist.
Roesgen: Why?
Wingnut: Because he is.
She then questions a man asking him what does any of this have to do with taxes...
Then we have this: Parts of WH in lockdown after tea bags thrown over gate. Protestors yelling death to president. #teaparty
Amanda: MSNBC: White House lawn evacuated bc someone threw a tea bag over the fence.
The crazies are out in force today. be careful.

is a fuckwad.
Stupid baggers.
Wingnut: I think he's a fascist.
Roesgen: Why?
Wingnut: Because I'm a fat-ass with a crew-cut who's been told what to think. I don't know what it means, but Rush said he was one, so "ditto."
Wingnut: I think he's a fascist.
Roesgen: Why?
Wingnut: Because I'm a proud, uneducated White Christian doofus, and I don't like black people telling me what to do, so he's a fascist.
That's the best one yet!
just wow.
Is this what we would hear if amoebas could talk?
These right-wingers are despicable human trash! I cannot put it any other way at this point. These people are incapable of rational thought. They cannot help their ignorance; they were born that way and remain the same.
At the same time these ignorant right-wingers do not even know the definition or meaning of Fascism.
If they did, they'd realize how the word [Fascism] describes them. These people, however, are too ignorant to actually learn about their own Fascistic ways. I do not feel sorry fcr these people at all, either. There are places to send people who are insane---mental hospitals and hospitals for the criminally insane. Yes, the likes of Glen Beck and other right wingers should be put in mental wards on commitment papers. It is time to lock up these criminally insane right wingers who are a danger to others and themselves.
Right-wing jerks like to throw around words, words, and more words without knowing its meanings!
Racism is part of the criteria for being Fascist. Anti-immigration feelings and anti-taxation yelling plays right into this right-wing fascism. You know, that "let's stay all-white mentality" of the right-wing jerks is totally Fascist too.
Man, these people are ignorant!
in reality, extremists on either side well-fit the definition of fascism..........and the use of terms such as ignorant & insane places you right amongst the aforementioned.
Shorter crewcut man: "I dink he's a fairshist because, uh, it's de only word I can dink of that starts with "F" and has more den 4 letters"
where in Seattle are you?
Stay out of Belltown after dark.
These people are angry and dumb; dumb as a... er, well, dumb as a teabag, I guess.
If their brains were teabags, you'd get some awfully weak tea as a result. Letting it steep just makes it taste worse, and then there's the smell ...
If McCain had won the election & was implementing the exact same policies as Obama, there'd be no ridiculous teabag protests. These people don't even know what they believe. They're just upset a Republican isn't in the White House. Morons.
and we would be paying higher taxes.
As Jon Stewart might say, "I think you're confusing fascism with 'losing.'"
Precisely. A black Democrat in the White House. That's what they're protesting against, not taxes. They wouldn't even be protesting in the first place (at least not in this specific fashion) if it wasn't all orchestrated & funded by Republican millionaires. It's a sham, I tells you, but you all knew that.
Not only is there no republican in the white house, but the democrat that is in there is a black man. I think that is the biggest bur under most of these people's saddles. I doubt the guy in the video can even define fascist, but he knows it's a negative thing to say and he knows he can't say what he really wants to say....at least not on camera.
Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! Because I say so! Because he is! etc
..and he heard them say Obama is a fascist and because they said it, he can say it too.
Now, repeat after me: Obama is not a commie!
Obama is not a fascist!
Obama is not a Muslim!
Obama is the duly elected President of the United States!
Say Goodnight Gracie! Goodnight Gracie!
ur right he hasn't a clue wat a fascist is.
Question the policies of GW Bush = treason.
Shout "Death to Obama" = patriotism.
Are they dipping their bags in their boys?
and you need to stay off of Capitol Hill after dark!
I truly hate these people...I know it's bad to hate...but sweet jebus,
these throwbacks are makin it EASY to hate them.
Anger and Hatred make you stupid ... just look at this guy.
Keep involved politically and drown this noise out where it counts - at the ballot box.
Fair elections and free speech are like kryptonite to these guys.
Or whatever the Bizarro opposite of kryptonite is.
I know, and you're absolutely right...but damnit...they're so proud of their stupidity...it's infuriating.
I think the opposite of kryptonite...is dirtweed?

I thought it was Mxyzptlk.
The person that keeps yelling "Ba Ba Bouie"
Doesn't even know what fascist is...
goddamn brainwashed morons.
Anti-American fucktards!
All these reporters need to ask the idiots, "Define 'fascism' for us." They'd have no clue.
It'd be like the repig congressman Stephen Colbert interviewed who was in favor of posting the Ten Commandments in public buildings. Colbert simply said, "And what are the Ten Commandments?" The guy looked like a total ass when he could only name 3 of them!
Yeah...that was funny as hell...I love me some Colbert!
was re-elected after that interview.
Tells you something about rural Georgia.
I live in Atlanta - fairly progressive - the rest of this state, well, you don't even want to know...
Planters can start a new brand.
Tastes like crap and doesn't fill you up.
..to Right-Wing Nuts. That's why I'm here!
... you ain't go no whatchamacallim, Brazil nuts in there. We're 110% American nuts.
So do these freaks also think King George the Lesser was a fascist. You know, the man-child who called those who disagreed with him terrorist-sympathizers, who produced more signing statements than any other president, and who tried to subvert Congress and checks and balances at every step?
Or was it OK for King George the Lesser because he is a white Republican?
...duuhh...um..Because He Is!
Daawwk! I may be fat and stupid - but at least I'm ugly and mean spirited!
You don't want to ever look stupid, so look crazy instead.
..who thinks the President is a fascist?
I don't know how much more stupidity I can take before I just
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEG-OUT! or Wigout, whichever comes first!
I'm kinda worried when afternoon draws to an end and some of these people decide to visit the local bars. Thank goodness there aren't giant crowds of them anywhere from what I've heard.
Dont worry ... they have to waddle home for a delicious meal of Pizza Pops and Kraft dinner, then pass out on the couch watching that mean old Simon Cowell ...
Shouldn't they be going to church instead. After all, they're supposed to be God-fearing people.
Stupid idiot, doesn't even know what the word means and he sounds like a 3 year old "because he is!" Yeah good reasoning there buddy.
So how can President Obama be a secret Muslim-Communist-Fascist, when Communism wouldn't accept ANY religious view, even Muslim, and Communists and Fascists were in competition with each other in Germany during the the pre-Hitler street riots?
In fact, one thing Hitler held against Jews was Communism, since he claimed Marx was one.
These loons are smarter than the FBI, CIA and the Secret Service combined. After all POTUS Obama's faked birth certificate and all.
wallStreet loves this nonsense. wow it's all the government's fault. NOTHING to do with wallStreet. trust me wallStreet does NOT answer to the government it's the other way around. corporations/wallStreet have involved in TAX havens that cost the government approximately $123 billion in TAX revenue or about a 12% reduction in everyone's TAXes. LOOK paulson/BUSH handed the obama administration the bailout/TARP scenario. the automaker crisis was in the works as was the economic crisis. the right,left and economists all agreed the only way was/is too have government spending. why? consumers aren't spending and banks aren't lending. doing NOTHING assures a japan like recovery...NEVER/too long.
i understand the frustration/anger i say get angry with wallStreet/corporations and TAX code. they have brought wages down/stagnate,send jobs overseas,allow "cheap labor" in, take/look for subsides,have TAX havens to hide profits. tea baggers your being foolish if you only look to the government in this. wallStreet loves this.
"Tea Party Protesting! It's my doubleplusgood unthink!"
The Ministry of Truth (FOX) is happy to announce that no thought crimes were committed by the tea-baggers. In fact, no thought was committed at all.
is going to be rough for some people. Probably some blood spilled, but the rethugs won't take responsability for it.
obama is a fascist because he is..........a fascist. give this woman a raise for having to deal w/a moron like that.
come on...this whole thing is a joke
8 fucking years of bush, pissing away money left and right with nothing to show for it
now that obama is at least attempting to reinvest in america, these stupid racist fucks are coming out of the woodwork
that guy doesnt know what fascism is
Gotta love those Howard Stern guys! Had they been thinking, they could've gotten lots of people to chant that by telling them it was a slur on Obama.
How hilarious would that have been??
What? You didn’t expect to see brain dead morons live? HAHAHAHAHAHA
i think its bad enough that faux news plays advocate
why was that reporter stating her opinions and not allowing these idiots just to hang themselves with their own words
I thunk she was CNN.
I was just listening to some of these fu*kers on Fox talking about why they are protesting. For them it's all about the money. Where the hell were they when it was all about human lives, both our soldiers and innocent Iraqis. Where the hell were they when billions of dollars were to be spent on a war based on lies? Where the fu*k were they then? They were slapping little yellow magnets on their gas guzzlers and waving the American flag. Most of these people are about to get a tax cut and I'm wondering if any of them will protest that.
Ask any of them if going into Iran and Afghanistan was OK.
Then ask them how are you supposed to pay for those adventures.
You know the answer you'd get?
Obama is a fascist.
But they're not. They're just alienating the rest of the country even more and shrinking their own base as they continue becoming more extreme.
RNC: Anti-minority, anti-communist, anti-immigration, anti-non-christian. I guess it was only a matter of time before they were anti-american.
Anti-intelligence
Reminds me of when I used to get in trouble at home when I was a kid. Mom: "Why did you do this?" Me: Because.....
It gives inbred, mouth-breathing morons like those in the video a say about who governs us.
God..... :-(
BECAUSE I SAY SO.
Trust me, those angry clowns got a ton of abuse today! I am a witness.
got pics?
The whole thing was quite sad.
GOP dollars at work. 'Death to the President'???? I'm all for free speech, but I do hope someone is sitting in jail and being grilled by the FBI for that one. If someone would have done that while Chimpy was in office they would be declared and enemy of the state and on their way to a gulag by now.
Jesus Christ! Fox is fomenting riots based on lies! What kind of sickness is this?
This is more than just a protest about Obama bailing out the banks. Fox is encouraging every single wacknut who's mad about something or other to go out and cause trouble.
that in the past, when these people go too far and people get hurt, you could say "whoa," and everyone would step back and take a look at what they had done and feel ashamed.
But that wouldn't work nowadays. They would feel proud, not ashamed. Look at their stance on torture.
TORTURE for God's sakes.
Yet they are trying heavily to make the point that this is not a republican thing, instead it's dems and repubs at these parties. They are trying to shield the republicans this way.
I know many Democrats who are pissed at the bailout of the banks, too, but they aren't participating in these very strange "tea parties". Instead, they're on the front lines of calling for a change in the way it's being done, and apparently Obama has heard them.
Lord knows what he "hears" with these "tea parties". I sure don't hear anything except a lot of sound and fury about such a wide range of rightwing issues that it's impossible to identify anything valid in the lot.
I share your concern.
This sounds like it could a dress rehearsal.
Do not underestimate the destructive power of these brainless droids whipped into a frenzy by a polically driven media.
Fox has thrown down the gauntlet, and I don't see them either backing down or backing off.
Imagine me sitting here in Texas feeling more sophisticated than some people in Chicago.
I know they had these idiotic things in at least Dallas and Ft Worth, but Chicago seems to have had the larger turn-out.
God damn it, poll these assholes and ask them what TV channel is their primary TV channel that they watch most often or which channel they get their news from. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that 99.9999% of them say Fox News. Enough said.
"I don't watch no MSM, I watch FOX!"
Where in Texas are you from?
Born in Denton, raised till 10 in Waco, Dallas until 2005, Plano (pretty much a suburb of Dallas) since then.
But for a four year gap I was stationed at Edwards AFB.
I live in Victoria, surrounded by Rushpublicans
Heard they have nice houses though.
I may rethink my position...perhaps these people shouldn't be allowed to breed.
piss poor excuse for a protest on the teevee whilst I enjoy my cups and my pipe.
Peace!
if you try stringing two sentences together, you might hurt yourself.
... that you'd try and confuse us and make us look all foolish-like by using big words and punctu- ... punkta- ... uh ... all them dots and things.
a nice article exposing the hypocrisy: http://www.lewrockwell.com/gregory/gregory185...
we NEED a anti-wallStreet green tea party. BUSH left us a huge deficit. obama is spending money to save our/finacial institutions. watching fox which is difficult NOT hearing any negative chatter regarding the financial institutions and/or wallStreet.
A couple of years ago the gop called the libs "anti American".
Now the gops are saying "death to the president".
I wish I was younger and well enough to leave this country.
This is NOT the country I have been living in for the last 69 years.
Time to leave the country and also the world. It's no fun any more.
This shit angers me to no end - for the past TWO days my gym has been running NOTHING but fox on the monitors (I've asked both days to PLEASE change at least one TV - you should have seen the blank WTF is wrong with this guy stares I received)today I'm going to call the central office and complain - what a bunch of clueless, hatefilled scared little fucktard pussies. A poster upthread commented that anger and hatred make you stupid, and I do agree, but dang, as the Minor Threat song states: I'm Seeing Red!
Lay out your reasoning to the management in a thoughtful, but firm manner.
If they don't change it...take your money elsewhere.
take a good look at those faces on fox t.v. those are the people that will be convinced that universal healthCare is BAD. they don't realize it's brave new globe. we can't compete without stopping/slowing down healthCare cost. more people will have NO healthCare but the paying pool will have to pick up the tab.....essentially a TAX.
is the argument for NOT having universal healthcare.
Geeez....has he ever met a cupcake he didn't like?!?!
should try DRINKING more tea...less beer...and a trip to the Stairmaster every now and then wouldn't hurt.
He should be glad that government doesn't tax by the pound.
So incredibly clever. "Beacuse he is".
Even for right wing fundies, these "protests" (which are funded by right wing think tanks) are pretty pathetic.
Surprised the CNN reporter grilled him. During the Bush years they would have given him his own show.
that boy believes that he could have Sarah Palin.
These wingnuts can have their "fun". Today's been a good day despite them.
I was in the post office today, and there were many patriotic Americans doing the right thing by mailing their taxes today.
Today, I got a new cat who I call "Mr. Darcy".
I'm going to talk to him all day, as he doesn't indulge in right wing crockery.
Congratulations to Mr. Darcy for getting a new home. :)
...and watch the Daily Show tonight. It should be priceless.
And don't forget Keith and Rachael tonight.
I would LOVE to see Fox's FCC license revoked over this.
Remember, these are the same people who equated questioning GW Bush with treason, and feel toture protects freedom....
Can't wait to hear Mike Malloy's take on these right wing loons..
I'm just proud that my two toddlers are smarter than this guy...
Don't get too excited, my little dog might be smarter than him too. :)
the turd my dog just pooped on our walk earlier had more IQ points than that guy. So it must not be such an achievement after all...
Q: Why are you protesting?
A: Because Obama is a fascist.
Q: Why do you think he is a fascist?
A: NEENER NEENER NEENER!
but far left on the IQ bell curve. What a bunch of tools.
... these guys are definitely Left Behind.

obama got 4 times more $ than mccain for a reason kids...
Because McCain was a shitty candidate with no organization?
that shoulda said: 4 times more wallstreet $
Right?

This guy looks like Joe the Plumber's halfwit brother!
If this "movement" gains steam I just may have to consider going out and buying a gun. These idiots are a half a brain away from going postal.
I should have charged the thing before this afternoon. In the absence of footage, I'd estimate that about 75-100 all-white faces were at the Athens, Georgia event, counting late arrivals I saw as I was leaving downtown. Nothing especially imaginative in the signs, BTW.
In my hometown as well. I wish he'd try explaining to some Europeans just how Obama is a fascist.
This guy reminds me of a story my mother told me about me and my little sister when we were about 7 and 5. She said that she walked by our room and she heard us cussing at each other. We weren't cussing each other out, but just letting out swears because we heard the words and knew they had some power. She said it was hilarious because we were standing there going "eff, bee, damn, hell, ass, shit" with nothing in between. Kinda like the teabaggers.
Socialist, fascist, liberal.... papis, it used to be... The wingnuts have been with us for ages, read Hostaedter's Anti-Intellectualism in American Life (or something like that)...
I grew up in Paris, France, and a lot of American kids used to use the word "Commie" as an insult. I learned early to ask them what it meant. Never got an answer. So now it's socialist, or fascist. Absolutely meaningless claptrap by a bunch of hysterical old biddies.
I think C&L should focus on something else for a while.
"If you have a demagogue with a fanatical mass movement of personality cultist, who is imposing the program of a group of extreme bankers and finance oligarchs, that's fascism."
- Webster G. Tarpley
Mussolini knew fascism.. He even rightly defined it as the merger between State Power and Corporate Interests. So Obama is running a fascist administration. But so was Bush, and so was Clinton, and so was Reagan, and so was Carter, and even further back..
This is 'business as usual', and the right seems pretty silly to protest Democratic Fascism, while cheering Republican Fascism. But then again, the left must be retarded, for not realizing that the same taxes that allow their wonderful utopian domestic social programs also allow for those wonderful utopian foreign wars. Can't have it both ways.
Tea-bag a partisan for America!
For once, I would like to hear a right winger critique Obama's policies without using the words Communism, Socialism, Liberalism or Fascism and all of their derivatives. This would require actual thought, instead of name-calling.
The merger of State Power and Corporate Interest is only one aspect of fascism, not the definition.
We have never had anything close to fascism leading our government.
Nice try, back to bagging now.
not a single one was even remotely close to the left, even Carter was a moderate centrist at best.
So please, explain to us how the "left" is retarded when there has not been a single leftist president in the better part of the past 4 decades. Or can people on the right only operate via projection? I mean, only in the feeble mind of a conservative American would even make sense accusing the left of fascism. Hello?
Considering that Lincoln signed into law the Homestead Act - possibly the single greatest act of wealth redistribution in our history if not world history.
I just hope some of this idiot's friends saw that clip, and jibe him the rest of his life about his ignorance relative to Lincoln. (one of the few Presidents ever to suspend habeus corpus, a President who prioritized the preservation of the Union over the "liberty" of the Southerners, etc)
I never thought I'd see the day that a reporter packs so much bold truth into her coverage like this. That woman was downright combative with those nuts and actually called Fox News a "right-wing conservative network." Color me stunned.
How'd you like that little bit of "fair and balanced" from the clearly miffed network lady at the end?
"......That was interesting, uh, that was a little something we probably didn't expect to see live, uh, you can obviously see the tensions rise there, um on both sides, conservative and liberal, that side much more conservative at the protests."
I didn't see any tensions rise from anyone liberal in that piece. I saw a reporter ask some stupid people about their signs (one with an Obama-Hitler picture) and get stupid answers.
Such a reflexive statement from someone obviously trained in the "opinions differ" approach to reporting, rather than objective journalism. She was almost convulsing in having to report the obvious, that these teabaggers are a bunch of moronic loons.
seems to think the guvmint shouldn't be taking his hard earned dollars. Question: did you drive there on a public street? are there police there keeping an eye on things? Where the f*ck do you think they money that made that possible came from?
I wouldn't have expected such thorough reasoning from a Dittohead.
for stealing the "Operation Mayhem" theme...
So she was offended because someone portrayed Obama as Hitler? But it was ok for someone to portray the former presidenat as Hitler. Me thinks these mediawhores should really get rid of their entire staffs and rehire actually reporters instead of partisan hacks.
A protester wearing a George W. Bush mask, complete with a colored in Hitler-esque mustache and red horns attached to the forehead was deemed a Bush "look-alike" by reporter Susan Roesgen. http://newsbusters.org/node/3586
as insignificant nuances to you, right?
You're getting sloppy with your concern trolling today, LOL.
Depicting a black man as Hitler, is obviously the same as using a fascist meme to describe the grandson of a fascist sympathiser who started an illegal war just because he felt like it. Right?
In case somebody hasn't mentioned it downstream, she should have asked that guy what a fascist is. Bet you a million he doesn't even know. (But he wouldn't be alone -- not even the experts can pin it down other than refer to Italian fascism during WW II.)
Where is "His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire", when you need him to set the record straight?
There are many reasons we've drifted to this low point in our history, and pi**-poor journalism is one of the main reasons.
Did you notice how, at the end of the piece, Kyra Phillips say tensions rising "on both sides, the Left and the Right"? Where, exactly, was the Left interviewed in this segment? (Or was it cut from the video clip?)
To me, it just shows how reflexively the media is in glossing over the lunacy of the Far Right and in trying to pretend to have balance. Totally detached from reality.
God bless Ms. Roesgen finally a real journalist on TV who doesn’t embrace Fox News and right wing talking points as truth. Finally a reporter that does her job and calls out to questions these whacko’s instead of giving their delusional thoughts unwarranted creditability
You call someone so obviously and blatantly prejudiced and hostile against these protesters a real journalist? Oh, my, you need a reality check. Everyone in this country has a right to protest - and those who exercise that right are not "whackos", whatever their party affiliation (if any). Her like or dislike of the event was irrelevant, her job was to cover it impartially. She should be fired for her attitude and arrogant comments. She was practically inciting anger because of that. Most of you are assuming that the majority of the tea party participants are ultra-conservative right-wing die-hard republicans. THAT'S how close-minded you have become, because they weren't. Some of you even go so far as to say there were "only white faces". First of all, that simply isn't true, and secondly, that's a highly prejudiced statement to make in itself and shows a narrow-minded way of thinking. What a sad statement.
Who was the guy that was pushing the gentlemen with the baby back?? Would you say there were some censorship tactics going on?? Why didn't she let him finish a signle sentence, was she afraid he may acctually have made a good point?? God (And I don't mean Obama) forbid someone who has an intelligent thought get to say it on Obama TV. Hey, WAIT just a doggone minute!!! Isn't this what Hitler did?!?!?
HHHMMMM, just sayin'.
As a retired member of the military I dont think I have seen or heard so much hate spewing from one group. The so called liberal left shouted ignorant things when President Bush was elected (no he didnt steal the election). As a combat vet I dont think the Czar (who comes up with these names?) of homeland security has even the slightest idea what returing Soldiers, Saliors, Marines and Airmen are all about. We fight for the freedom of everyone not just a few. This includes those Left Wing nitwits who have so much hate and the idea that they and they alone have the holy grail of what makes the average citizen tick. Sounds to me like the elitist left are absolutely clueless, but do know how to hate. I feel sorry for you Intolerant, Ignorant people.
reread your own post and look in the mirror 'doc.'
And a guy from a profession wherein murdering strangers is a major part of the job description, calling us haters? That's beyond rich.
SCOTUS stopping the vote counting when Bush was ahead -- no he was NOT elected. You can say so as often as you will, but the old canard of repeating a lie often enough, until it's seen as the truth was worn out during the mass murderers' (Cheney, Bush, et alia) regime.
As for "nitwits who have so much hate and the idea that they and they alone have the holy grail of what makes the average citizen tick," as usual, we have a projecting rightie here, and another person who comes to this site to feign pity and tolerance for US, and whingeing about the 'spewing of hate' by people he has no respect for or understanding of, while arguing and voting and working against his and his family's own best interests.
'Elitist left' hahaha Rush 'Draft Dodger' Limbaugh much?
Well done, CheneyBushCo. You have another pathetic lifetime convert in this sad sack 'doc'
Interesting how she asks how the gentleman making the Facist statement "can say such a thing about our president", when she had no problems comparing Bush to Hitler and Satan in a January 13, 2006 news report. You call that fair? I think not. What a joke she is as a reporter - she isn't reporting the news, she's editorializing and imposing her own opinions. Her arrogance and contempt is readily apparent in this broadcast. THAT is NOT a reporter. That's a biased blowhard who mindlessly follows along with the other bleating sheep who are told what to think, and refuses to see any side but her own. Why is it that liberals such as she spend massive amounts of time and energy to proclaim rights for all..that is, unless you disagree with them...? Thank God I'm an independent thinker!
I agree that she didn't do a very good job. She should have asked, "WHERE WERE ALL YOU PEOPLE PROTESTING BUSH'S SPENDING?"
Remember, the president who increased spending faster than any president in history?
Remember, the guy who took money from the first Iraq pocky and put it into riot police to quash anti-WTO protests?
And OBAMA is fascist?
This was the same exact crowd who said EVERYBODY had to line up behind our commander in chief George W. Bush
and shut up about the war
and shut up about the domestic spying
and shut up about the torture
and wear our flag pins like good Americans.
I have zero respect for these blatantly partisan rallies, slamming the guy who happened to dive on the grenade after George W. Bush pulled the fucking pin and dropped it.
At these TEA parties, they were saying we are tired of the power grab and spending sprees of both parties. But of course you wouldn't hear that even if you "did" hear it. That would be selective hearing you got there. So why not acctually listen to what people have to say. May be you should be in DC, they don't listen to the people either!!!
It's amazing that shee-ple are so prevalent in our society. They are fed words and phrases, and when asked to explain, they are vacant. The two guys interviewed are sad examples of the adherents of the rightwing smear tactics. Most of the Faux "News" cheerleaders flew to the locations on privated jets, yet, they get these dimwits to cry foul. Give me an effing break.
First of all, this wack job "reporter", (notice I used lower case letters when refering to her as a reporter),did not even allow the last Gentleman with his child to finish without interrupting. Probably because she knew he would make more sense than she did.
Second, if you take the literal meaning of the term Fascist, Hussein Obama is one. He had it set-up for him to get the most power of ANY President EVER his very first day in office. How does a president have the authority to FIRE a CEO of a private company. Do you know who else did that? Take a geuss. Every Fascist dictator that has ever dictated a country, that's who!!! Who appoints Czars to personally over see certain areas of government and answer only to them? Fascist rulers that's who. (If I am talking over anyones' heads here I am sorry, I can dumb myself down for you. Just let me know.)
Y do u say Hussein Obama? Are you trying to imply something, regarding his Muslim background or trying to say he is a terrorist or something? That shows how stupid and closeminded some of you rednecks are, and which is why you are hated all over the world. You are the real terrorists. You weren't complaining when billions of dollars were being poured into Iraq every month for no reason, and now when the man is trying to do good, and fix OUR country, not other countries, you complain. He is a facist because he fired a CEO? Well, without the government bailout, there wouldn't be a GM anyways. So what would happen if he didn't intervene within the company; they would have recieved the bailout, but the company wouldn't change and would just go bankrupt again. Since the government is saving the company financially, why can't they have a say in how it's run? It's not like they are going to be controlling the company's further operations, they just replaced the man in charge so they wouldn't go bankrupt again. So all of you ignorant redneck conservative dummies need to sit your asses down, relax, and shutup. We had to live through 8 years of the worst president in history, now that we have someone decent in office you can let him do his job, and see if his plan will work or not, before you criticize him after a couple months in office.
Why was it perfectly acceptable to use a degrading nickname for George Washington Bush, such as "Dubya", but when we use the name the almighty one was sworn in with, we are racists? Isn't that his name??? Isn't he proud of it??? Or Maybe, you guys are embarassed by his middle name!!!
Is it because Hussein is the same name of one of the most oppressive
evil dictators of our time??? What's in a name, how about the family that had their kids taken off of them for naming their child Hitler, (I am not agreeing with those parents, but making a point). Regardless of the preconceptions some Kool-aide drinkers have about half of their fellow Americans, (Which is what we are, not Obamists like some people would like to think), we are not racists.
So, why are you more upset about my calling Hussein Obama by his real name than you are about his oppressive policies???
And as for the bailouts, your right (I know you don't hear that very often) These companies should've gone through the restucturing that goes along with bankruptcy. As for the government not having any more say, OOOOHHHHH my you must have held your head under the spigot of the Kool-aide container.
So just bacause a whole lot of Americans are fed up with the spending on the Dem. and Rep. sides, We are stupid and ignorant and racists. Do I have that pretty close to your way of thinking???
