    see? you don't have to go straight for the moonbat racist to see uninformed anger.

    he didn't pick on them or pick our the crazy ones, he went for the everyday looking teabaggers and found the same issues you'd find with the crazy ones.

    my favorite part was "which specific action or bill..." "tyranny of govt". all just fed talking points and brought along to protest their own tax cuts to benefit the organizers of the event and people in that tax bracket. it's kind of sad really.

    but what exactly do they want???? i mean do they really want to abolish the dept of education? so they're just anarchist? i don't get it.

    There are probably bat crazy people at every protest, rally, etc.

    I didn't need to watch an 11 minute youtube video to know that.

    Okay...nearly half the people in this sketch had a point that could be argued for, but the other half were full of Fox News talking points. Thankfully, at this point we know the Tea Party Express is not a new movement or a new voter group, it's the GOP die-hards mixed with Ron Paul supporters. I've never been exposed to it since I wasn't aware of the political climate in this country until the Bush Adminstration, but I think I can assume it was the same for Clinton after he beat Bush Sr, except that...

    "There's a living in the white house. EVERYBODY! There's a living in the white house. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!"

    if you disagree with the way your govt is being run, then say something about it. i get that. alot.
    and i don't even care what your beliefs are.
    but just know what the you believe in.
    all i see from tea baggers is just blind "ra ra hate"...

    This sales pitch that the tea partiers are stupid, hateful and/or nazis is not working. Please keep it up though. I want the repugs to win the senate. House is already locked up in Nov.

    That picture is funny considering almost 80 percent of the population of Kenya is Christian.

    Maybe they need to get on a listserv like DailyKOS or follow HuffingtonPost. Then they'd have all the talking points so they could have a "real" message...

    Well from watching the video, a majority of them have no idea what their talking points are. They just spout nonsense like taxation without representation even though that's nothing like what this is. Then spouting things like tyranny and oppression, when Americans have no clue what tyranny and oppression is.

    I sometimes wonder how this all looks to people in countries who truly have lived under tyranny, who have no elected representation, and who have been enslaved. The borrowing of the rhetoric turns my stomach.

    I have never fully understood the purpose of posting clips like this. The filmers show you exactly what you want to see. Its like the Acorn filmers. Who knows how many people these guys interviewed.

    I do not attend the tea parties. The guy in the office right next to mine does. He is a bright smart man that would probably hand this kid his ass in a discussion on taxation...he is a tax lawyer with 25 years of experience.

    I get that there are stupid people at the rallies, but there are lots of stupid people that blindly support certain ideals. There were plenty of videos with stupid college kids that voted for Obama that couldn't answer basic questions that most of us could answer. I just think these videos are a waste.

    The GOP will do what it always does, scare the out of the tea-baggers...just wait till the looming immigration reform debate starts after financial reform is done...and of course, the M$M will play right along...

    Well, this video is referenced to Huffington Post. I know that HP is known for its middle of the road tone, or perhaps slightly leaning to the right, but seriously, there are plenty of videos out there that show idiot misinformed democrates. These videos really don't prove anything.

    With respect to my fellow associate, he is a very successful professional, why would he give up his practice to take charge of the tea parties? Most people don't have that inclination, they associate themelves with a party where they might attend an occasional rally, but then usually go about their normal lives.
