Well what a Grassroots protest. Very funny. I couldn't figure out what exactly they were protesting. In the end I guess its just Obama. Because almost every complaint I heard was about things that started before he even got there. And nobody even considered a protest when Bush was doing all of these stuff.
From what I gather the biggest point that most are trying to make is that it doesn't matter what it was about as much as it was real. And that is the funny thing about the right. They are in to self delusion big time. And this is another example. They did it all through Bush. And now they have convinced themselves that this was a grassroots protest.

Well mikeyy, I see you got the liberal talking points down already. The media is sure pushing that theme. Now that's funny!

No talking points here. I just watched what happened. First thing is that there was no theme. It was promoted as a tax protest. But since there really isn't any tax that will effect the majority of these people it had to be about something else. But you couldn't put your finger on what it should be about. But the grassroots promotion on FOX had already started. So without a cuase the cause became anything you don't like about Obama or the current administration.

Look I am sure there were serious people that showed up to make their opinions known. I don't doubt that they were taking advantage of this media promoted grassroots protest to make some important points. But here is an idea for the right. If you are going to protest first have a point. Then create the protest. Not visa versa.

What is missing and the left is advoiding this is that these people got out and spoke their mind. many different complaints and it isn't going to be a one day event. And those that were started by Bush are some of the ones that Obama is taking on Mikeyy.
Like privcy, for me and a lot of you.
A lot of people were hoping the CHANGE we would see is some of Bush's grab at control being rolled back.

Considering the organizer of the one I went to also organized one last year, when Bush was still office, you obviously have no clue what you're talking about.
But thanks for playing along.
By the way, the majority of protests I saw were about spending.
And while Bush spent like crazy, & most of us conservatives were against it & were mad as hell about the bailouts as they began under Bush, Obama is Bush spending on steroids.

I don't get who kept voting the right back in. Because obviously you guys were mad as hell at Bush and the right in congress for so many years. Yes it was amazing to watch as those on the right protested the spending under Bush. Sure I remember all those rally's

What I like about this is that no shops were vandalized, no one broke the law (at least as far as I've heard) and things were done with respect to the law. Unlike many of the protests by the left, which seem to have an awful lot of illegal activity associated with them. This is how this kind of exercise of out 1st Amendments rights should be carried out. Be loud, be aggressive, but do it within the boundaries of the law.

Giving a liberal facts is like throwing bacon at a vegetarian. All it does it piss off the vegetarian and waste good bacon.

Thats because the left is ****ing crazy The left does crazy **** like create real honest to god grassroots protests. The right needs a corperation to orginoize theirs. And BTW. They did break the law. The threw tea on the Whitehouse lawn which got them moved out. And they didn't get permits to dump their tea. Ha ha And other blood thirsty **** like that. Damn right wing extremists.

Funny thing is I watched every channel that reported on these events and listened to the people speak. Many sounded like they cared and NOT one I saw held a sign saying I'm right or left nut case. A lot of veried people in age and thinking. Just how did you guys miss this?
