Photo gallery: Scenes from a tea party

This is sad.

fatasses. pay your f*cking taxes and get over it!

I am so proud of Minnesotans who are willing to speak out about the bodacious behavior of our politicians. This is not about being Republican or Democrat, it is about being an American and preserving our rights and our pocketbooks. This spending spree has got to stop now and hopefully St. Paul and Washington D.C. are getting the message loud and clear. We can continues to speak out and vote clearly in the next election.

Douche bags with Tea bags…

[...] great images from yesterday’s protest at MN Indy. April 16, 2009, 10:00 am | Category: General [...]

A creative attempt by Fox News to identify their demographic?

Maybe sponsored by tea companies?

Would it be impolitic to point out that most (and possibly all) of the people at this rally actually have *lower* taxes thanks to President Obama?

A great event put on by real people. I like how you isolate the extremists and fail to see that every day average Americans like myself am sick of the spending spree Bush and company put us on. It isn’t about Right or Left because both of them are doing it. McCain would have been no better than Obama is when it comes to this. Ear marks are a small percentage of these LARGE bills. It has to stop. I am a responsible taxpayer and I should need to pay for your mistakes.

I love to see the little people putting their time to best use..moaning about losing the election!

Sounds an aweful lot like the Dems in 2000 and 2004 EK

OBS=”Obama Derangement Syndrome”

OBS is a later stage in CDS (Clinton Derangement Syndrome)

Is there any wonder why “bipartisanship” is so fleeting?

Wow, we live in a world where we no longer have a shared reality. Different perspectives are to be expected, but can we at least agree that our president is an American citizen?

I find it amazing that these people axtually think they should get more money back. Where is there committment to there brother and sister? If we are not a village now, we will never be one.

Taxes are patriotic and those people are not patriots.

It’s tiring how some work so hard to extract the meaning from language — and, specifically, how some tea party protesters so glibly link their political opponents to real “evildoers” (to use a Bushism). To some African Americans, it must be troubling to see “slavery” used not to describe the sale of human beings as property but the state of taxation in a representative democracy. To call Obama or Pelosi “enemies of the state” seems to let Osama bin Laden — still at large nearly eight years after Sept. 11 — off the hook. And, as we saw at Tea Parties in other states, equating Obama with Hitler doesn’t do much to respect the countless Jews, gays and Catholics killed by the Nazis.

I love how liberals always push the race issue.

Danny, “NCTC” now has classes taught by “ACORN”? Where does that show up on the class registry?

Many of those tea bags look to be supporting the Socialist UK owned Lipton, and commie loving Portland TAZO. hypocritic tea baggers.

I think if these people want to pay a flat-fair tax they should. Since a flat tax would significantly raise most people’s taxes- I don’t see a problem with that. If they want to pay more they should. That’s freedom. And that’s American.

What a waste of good tea…

Looks like the neofascists just can’t handle the fact that the American people voted for Obama.

These people understand that the specific income tax rate isn’t the whole issue and that Obama’s tax “cut” isn’t a tax cut at all, but a socialist wealth transfer.

And they understand that not all taxes are income taxes, such as inflation due to reckless spending (Obama has spent more in his first 3 months than Bush spent in 8 years) and the dead-weight loss of regulation from such idiotic plans as Cap and Trade.

That’s exactly it-

Its not about party or race- but unrepresented spending. Taxes aren’t too bad now… but when all these plans go through, you’re children will have such a burden, they’ll never be able to live the prosperous life you grew up with.

What these people can’t handle is everyone making them out to be “extremist” and “racist”- they’re everyday people, your coworkers and bosses, that see this debt piling up. What’s sad is journalism lives no more. There is no more truth in the media. They’re just slinging mud, which is pathetic, because all you saps that lap it up. You have no idea what the real issue is, and you are obviously too ignorant to care. You don’t know the issue to even argue, so you settle on attack the people.

That’s why these people are standing up. For those that don’t even care where this country is heading, and for their children. Here’s a thought: What is the logic of spending your way out of debt?

IrishMN….Since I last checked we are a REPUBLIC, not a socialist society. I am not responsible for anyone but myself and my family. And the writer of this story is obviously biased. I was there and there were more than 2 non-white Americans there, and the author has chosen to show the few anti-Obama signs that were there. I saw about 4 anti-Obama signs out of hundreds. Also…there were at least 7000-8000 people there. Way to go MN “Independent”! LOL! Thsi is not journalism, this is opinion as far as I am concerned. Andy Birkey should be ashamed of himself!!

WOW!
Gerbels propaganda machine would be proud. Atlas will shrug

You liberals don’t have a clue of whats happening to America! The American dream will be dead if Obama has his way. We’ll all be poor and in the same boat. The government will control your lives and everyone’s taxes will rise because a small percentage of America will not be able to shoulder the load of debt. Is this what you want? The government taking care of you with no incentive to better yourself and be successful? Not to mention bankrupcy of our country and our children and their children, burdened with high taxes unable to enjoy the rewards of their labors. Wake up!!!! Every citizen has a right to express their views and should not be marked as being a “terrorist”, a redneck or stupid!! Making fun of average people won’t work. Get a life!
