Fox News takes ownership of tea parties, and, therefore, their extremist rhetoric

" Fox News is also associating itself in advance with whatever violent, offensive, or otherwise extremist rhetoric emanates at those upcoming events.

americanfreethinker - We the People are ready to film and register all participants of the tea parties.

If you are at the "tea party" filming, you will be listed as an enemy by the left simply for being there. Remember, there will be others there filming as well, and your face will be proof that you are a raging right wing nut

Of course while you are there, you could rant against Obama and set someone on fire, because the left is eager to blame it on someone else, so you can pretty muvh get a free pass to be as violentand crazy as you like

Remember, there will be others there filming as well, and your face will be proof that you are a raging right wing nut

EXACTLY!

I truly can not wait to add the film of these masses of self pleasuring conservative gaggles to the long list of video available of the bigots and traitors doing their pathetic dance....

Its fun and educational...google video of palin macain rally and see what you get...the ugliest bunch of white trash morons grouped together since the days of the KKK being able to get hundreds and thousands together...

We can but hope that this is just another step in the death march of conservatism. Another chance to expose what kind of pathetic minds, ugly spirits and completely confused and unworthy jackasses are involved in this.

We can only hope that every time they show their ugly face to the world they convince more people that what they are.... is nothing.... but the worst and most disgusting of America and humanity both.

Now don't you get soft on me, ftmackinc!

Tell it as it is :)

I <3 ftmackinc!!!

americanfreethinker - EXACTLY!

That should be interesting

MoveOn.org and the Huffington Post film crews are now officially classified as raging right wing nuts for being at a tea party!

Good to see you have a sense of humor

Humor is the true saviour of liberal intellect when surrounded by brain dead right wing nuts.

lol

that and drinking...a lot...

You can go to the zoo to watch a monkey ----fight without becoming a part of it, you know.

ok,So if all of the anti-war protesters had been videoed and put on your imaginary list that would have been ok? Or the Anti-bush protesters that would have been ok too?

I wonder how many of you who are against the Tea Party protests have actually investigated them,or are you just going along with all the other ditto heads who say its wrong.

Here look for yourself.

Fox News is also associating itself in advance with whatever violent, offensive, or otherwise extremist rhetoric emanates at those upcoming events.

You mean the wackos that will show up to start trouble? That is the oldest tactic in the book. Basic guerilla warfare.

They have their servants down in the cellar filling the envelopes with teabags they had flown in from China. Message to the congressmen dont make tea with them unles you like anti freeze in your tea.

There are about a million things Republicans can do to improve their party and this is all they could come up with. The term loser is to light for them.

It makes it so easy to recognize the extreme right. Just find out if a person watch Fox News. There is the proof.

There is an even easier way. It's anybody who uses the words 'Democrat Party'. (see post #1.49 for an example)

It's a popular mechanism with right-wingers these days, a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that people in the Democratic Party are un-democratic. It was also a popular mechanism with one Joseph McCarthy.

From now on, they should start calling members of the Republican Party 'Repubes' in response. They probably call their country a 'c**t' as well, when people aren't around.

Oh please!! Homeland Security is a joke, they could not even find an "illegal alien" in a crowd of 500,000 of them marching in the Los Angeles streets a couple years ago, they can't even find 10,000 of the illegals from who knows where crossing our borders ILLEGALLY every day!! They can't seem to find EMPLOYERS hiring illegals all around the country! They can't seem to be able to find the 2 to 3 MILLION illegals using stolen ID"s all around the country, some ID"s being used up to 200 times at the very same time around the country....yea, right, so HS is going to start taking photos of true AMERICANS protesting per their constitutional rights?

If so, then it IS time for a tea party!! And don't say I am some right wing nut--I am a blue stater, Democrat raised all the way to my recently turned 100 year old grandmother! Most issues, I am liberal as they come (ie abortion rights, gay marriage, gun control), and some I am conservative (ie NO amnesty for illegals, pro death penalty)...so, don't go labeling who is enjoying this tea day and go find some true lawbreakers, ie illegals and their employers, while millions of Americans are out of work, to film...OK??

Please explain how being an Individualist is so wrong. Both the DNC (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS) and the GOP (FoxNews, AM Talk Radio) are promoting group think. Is the death of individualism really what Americans want? It was radical individualists that founded this once great union. It will be radical individualists that free her from the clutches of the current two-party, mass-media controlled group-think, tyranny.

It will be radical individualists that free her from the clutches of the current two-party, mass-media controlled group-think, tyranny.

In your dreams...this is the 21st Century last time I checked. You sound like a jihadist.

Its a Great Day for Americans! True Patriots!

To heck with One Party! If you depend on the "Party" to guide your life than you are in a sad state

"Governmentis the problem, not the solution?"

Ha! Classic rhetoric.

Reagan thought govt was the problem so he leaned on it like a crutch and left office with a massive deficit. Instead of reeling in tax revenue from big-business, he just decided to subsidize it like never before. Who paid for that? Hmmmmmm, oh yeah - the taxpayers!

Please don't pretend that there is such a thing as a practicing fiscal conservative.

It's a myth - just like "Fair and Balanced".

Unrepentant Conservative - I certainly hope they get the credit they deserve for covering the event properly,

The government has been growing and becoming more oppressive for quite a long time, with both Republican and Democrat presidents

Like the original tea party which put an overbearing ruling monarchy on notice that Americans will fight to remain free, the people today are assembling and demonstrating their grievances and displeasure

Of course, there are those who will say and do anything to discredit patriotic Americans who will find their way in, and the left leaning Mass Media will focus on them to twist and downplay the news.

You can expect every liberal activist group in the country to have as many rock throwers as possible at each event

No, all the liberals I know will be at work. That is the thing that people who make less than $250,000 per year do every day during the week. In exchange for going to work, our CEO overlords see fit to give us 1/400th of their own yearly earnings. It is nice to know that you are out there fighting to keep the CEO's taxes from going back to the levels they were under Clinton. Luckily Obama has made sure us working folks get a tax cut, even if it isn't as much.

I will however drink a glass of tea as a salute to those who feel no shame in self-parody, the teabaggers...

madvargr - In exchange for going to work, our CEO overlords see fit to give us 1/400th of their own yearly earnings.

Sounds like you really want to change jobs and work for someone you don't despise

...might make a difference in how much you are paid, too!

I changed jobs in September. Previously I managed for a small restaurant company that had 13 franchises. After my 3rd year of being the top store in the company and as a result getting my pathetic 1.5% yearly raise from my boss driving his new Jaguar, I told him to f.o. I now work for his competition across the street. If bosses want to crap on workers, I fully support unions and those willing to put their beliefs to the test. Do I make the same? Yeah, but I don't stress as much from thankless bosses.

Rhetoric?

Yes, rhetoric like what was heard here: Project 912 Glenn Beck Tea Party

Yes, rhetoric like what was heard here: Project 912 Glenn Beck Tea Party

Yea....I looked at the YouTube video and the history of the poster who is in this video. Her 'favorites' and other links don't exactly scream God-fearing, gun owning conservative. If you could see past your rosey colored glasses and investigate futher down the road, you would have found that.

Think Mary Joe McFane and the NRA. Same concept but just to discredit this 912 project and me also thinks you have been suckered by propaganda on that one, but that is nothing new so...

And what do you spend a lot of time doing? And why are you here if you have nothing worthwile to add.

That better?

Sorry PIK, thanks for posting the correct link.

Yea....I looked at the YouTube video and the history of the poster who is in this video. Her 'favorites' and other links don't exactly scream God-fearing, gun owning conservative.

Who cares about who posted the video to YouTube? It's the wingnuts at the meeting, and the fact that no one stands up to their craziness, that we need to be concerned about.

LOL!!! how do you draw that conclusion?

If being in power automatically meant you had knowledge, why would those in power need teams of advisers? "Knowledge is power" in a nutshell means if you posses knowledge you have the necessary tools to participate in an intellectual battle. You can succeed by knowing! It's the opposite of going to war with a butter-knife which is what you seem to be doing!

I guess I forgot to put out a sarcasm warning...

However, you seem to believe that your side has knowledge and thus gained their current power through demonstrating that that knowledge will lead us out of the mess the last knowledgeable power-holders created. Turned out their knowledge was flawed. It will turn out the same for the current crop of knowledgeable power-holders. Because when the goal is power the only knowledge required is the knowledge of manipulation. And with the knowledge of manipulation you can kill with a butter-knife.

I feel for you OBAMA-FAN, your adoration of the Messiah is admirable, but blind adoration of any politician will fence you in... As for me I choice the freedom of independance. I would rather be free to fend for myself in the Forrest than be stuck like a duck in a politican's pen.

LMAO, *snort* hahahahahahahaha!

whoa, that is soooooooooo funny!

its simple...this is you and yours ,conservatism and pals in action.

And this is the rest of us Americans all, standing together, honoring our principles, believing in each other...

notice a difference? Well...try and learn form this anyway.

seabiscuit,

I feel for you OBAMA-FAN, your adoration of the Messiah is admirable, but blind adoration of any politician

See this is what people who do not have a real argument say! Never once in my comment did I mention a particular politician or even Obama for that fact! It's who can not admit to the fact that you are wrong and have no clue that try to steer the conversation from what was being discussed! You response was 3 complete circles, and when you talk or walk in circles you go NOWHERE!

My support of OUR president is not blind, and in no way do i claim him to be the "Messiah", the right winger's are the only ones who tout his as such. i believe in his abilities, policies and his decisions, more so than any candidate since Clinton(bill). So if you think you know my political views, or the depth of my support to the point where you would allegde that i considered Obama to be the second coming, then give me the upcoming Powerball numbers. You must have "the gift"!

It's I who feel for you. You think you are an independent and not affiliated with any group, but you are in no way, shape, or form an independent or unique individual! There are millions just like you who claim to not follow or claim a political party, so guess what? You are in a party! A party of ignorance. a party of wannabe individualists that are all the same!! LOL See the irony???

Thank you Seabhac Re! You gave me my Googlewhack for the week!

With people like you voting, is it any wonder this country is lead by idiots and inbuciles

Inbuciles gives me a one hit - a message post on Hanklloydtennis...

Awesome!

I tried to tell em about spell shecker, but do they ever listen...no....lol

seablah: Drink more koolaid, and quick run rush is on.

That is...

A rather inconvenient little fact that they squirm and squeal about but ...

They just can't get around...

Not without being the pathetic and bottom rung delusional liars that it appears the conservative movement is made of now in any case...

They just can't clue in that it is this whole refusal to look honestly at the flaws, mistakes and downright failure of their own policy that pisses so many off.

They repeat that crap ad nausea and I feel, like they think, I am as stupid as them...and that is insulting to me. And that translates to me getting pissed and no dollars or votes for anything even remotely connected to conservative.

ahh well.... the good news is it means they aren't growing...

Jarad,

Well said! They do have every right to "tea Party" as long as it remains civil and on topic. I agree with you, most of these folks are not of the same cloth that the gun toting revolutionists are. Those kinks are rather scary.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh so we're going to make a case about a particular TV company taking a political stance, are we?

Were you around during the Presidential election? It gave me a "tingly feeling in my leg" with the unbiased coverage they gave your boy Obama.

You guys just make me laugh. lol Funny, funny people.

You might as well be talking to the wall. The left do not care about that. It's there way or the highway. They are sheep. Freedom to them is freedom to think like them.

Jim, This is not an event for Democrats. name a notable Democrat that is backing this event, speaking at this event, sponsoring this event or urging their constituents to attend. The freedom to throw a tantrum is not going a way, that is a silly thought. Limiting free speech, where is the proof of that nonsensical rhetoric. This teabagging event is not about sex acts, taxes, or representation. This is a tantrum sponsored by the poor sports who do not like the way the elections turned out. Nothing more.

There are large numbers of democrats who are involved as well.

I don't think there are large numbers of anybody involved in teabagging.

Buckeye Voter - I don't think there are large numbers of anybody involved in teabagging.

So... you've never been to San Francisco?

teresa-

Fox News has been parading a whole line of people who are openly Democrats that are talking about their opposition to the taxation they see coming and all their Democrat friends who will be protesting in the Tea Party. This isn't about people in power, this is about the power of the people trying to keep the people in power in check. So clearly power Democratic leaders are not desired for this.

RoTfLmAo!!!!!!!!!!! Faux found the Democrats that are participating, ha-ha!!!!!

I'd lay it 9-2 that any so called democrat you find in this crap is a shill or bored and horny...

There were people from all political affiliations at these protests. There was a greater turnout than was expected. You just might start seeing this develop into something liberal extremists are going to find more and more difficult to ignore. Obama took it seriously - he threw out his response to the Tea Party concerns in his media appearances during the day.

It seems to boil down to whether government is the solution to our problems. Obama believes more government will stabilize the economy. Most Americans oppose bigger government, especially since that is part of the foundation of the principles of our country that preserves our liberty. Government (no matter which party is in control) has been getting larger, and the laws more complex, and only seems to be accelerating. That threatens the liberties guaranteed by our constitution. I think that is at the core of this tea party movement.

That is the core Jim, but unless we are carrying the Mexican flag and fighting for the "rights?" of illegal alliens,there will be no respect for our view. Ever.

Just to clarify,Jim, I was not implying that you and I have the same views. I was speaking of the humans that I agree with. Sorry if I offended.(?)

I'm not in your groups PartysOver,yet I agree. The purpose of a discussion, for me anyway, is to try to find some commonality in the opposing thought in order to resolve our differences.

I thought the issue of free speech, free choice (in all parts of life), and fiscal responsibility were the common ground we shared.Appearently, they are not ready to share the sand box.

Unfortunately I am hearing now that CNN has been promoting the idea that the Tea Party was an effort to promote hate against the Obama administration. It seems that the people who are accusing conservative Americans of being hateful by simply expressing a legitimate concern and basing those concerns on solid facts, are responding with accusations of hate expressed with passionate anger and at the same time with cool misrepresentation of facts about the Tea Party demonstrations.

Honestly, it seems eerily familiar to political tactics cited in books written by Saul Alinsky. A serious threat to the American way of life.

Incidently, for those who are undoubtedly going to ask for specifics in my previous post. There are a number of the rules at play in the response to the Tea Parties, however, one particularly stands out here:

RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

No, I'm pretty sure they were called "unpatriotic" and "terrorist lovers" during the Bush years, the right loves to have a selective memory.

Make no mistake, Orange. I think American protesters are cry babies regardless of which party they come from. We, from the greatest country the world has ever seen, have the perfect protest: routine, legal elections.

Fox News has never been that big on history or meaning.

I don't remember telling my represenatives it was ok to take over banking, mortgages, car companies, and to socialize medicine. Actually I'm positive I don't want that.

So you tell em then, where's my representation? I want my respresentatives following the Constitution, not tearing it apart.

I don't always appreciate the way my representatives vote, but I vote and try my best to make a difference. Its not a perfect system but it's what we have. If your representatives are not doing the will of the people they will be voted out eventually. It is simply not factual to say we are taxed and are without representation. Our votes are our voices.

Chloe, You have missed the point of what is annoying about this scenario. Fox represents itself as fair and balanced and as reporters. in this tea-bagging scenario they are creating the news. they are sponsoring it and advertising it and they are unbalanced. By unbalanced I mean, off, no sound footing, no truth and not in touch with regular Americans. The funny part is that they are worried about their taxes going up not the taxes of the schmucks they are trying to rally behind them. Nobody even knows what they are protesting it is clearly an anti-Obama rally because the sore losers cannot admit defeat. It is a laugh a second with these sorry paranoid tantrum throwers. I see this tea party being advertised on every white nationalist's and supremacist's websites I have looked at. That is who I want to spend my day with, NOT. that is who I want my loved ones to be palling around with, NOT. These people are racists, bigots, and fanatics. They are protesting everything from immigration to the new dog Bo. Fox news faces are the puppies, sick disgusting puppies. O'Reilly is as funny as a fart in a crowded room, truly entertaining for some while others find him disgusting. God Bless and good night to you and enjoy the teabagging.

Oh, not me. I just found the comments to be rather amusing---we are all entitled to our opinions. I'm not going to bash Fox News--they are telling their side. And doing what they think they should to promote whatever end they'd like to see---maybe they are just big babies--maybe they have definite points and the media is making it look like something else?????

I see alot of news--read articles--we never really get the true story---the news is controlled by government and big business--when it is really important, do you really think the government won't stop Fox? It's just a a game to get people riled up.

Fox has the money, someone likes them--I only watched O'Reilly once--he was funny. I guess I missed the disgusting part. And, he did mention that the right wingers don't really have anyone to go to now.

I'm not necessarily anti-Obama, but I don't like alot of what he stands for. I did not vote for him--and if we must label, I do lean to the right.

My earlier comment was just noting the hissy fit I see going on here. Same as when someone posts an article exactly opposite this one.

And I still say go Fox News! You are getting noticed. They do take bashing well. They are still exercising their right of free speech and that's fine with me.

And tjs-945802--agreed! I won't be attending--maybe watching from my couch--but good luck to you.

Chloe

Chloe-947414,

There is an old saying... "Never let 'em see you sweat"

...and this site is just drenching wet

; )

Yes it is. Quite amusing actually.

Friend req accepted.

Chloe

you're 60 years late Rip Van W.

Hmmmmmm I thought FDR was longer then 60 years ago?

That's funny my daddy taught me the same thing. But as grown ups we're not supposed to act like juveniles (something libs seem to forget when they protest) so some of us will be protesting our government because of they're over spending and over taxing, and for the fact that they have no authority to be doing what it is they're doing now.

And amazingly enough, we won't be alone. There will be Dems and Indies alongside of us. You see, government isn't supposed to be dabbling in the private sector. They're not supposed to be involved in banking and mortgages, either.

Maybe if some you "smart" libbies would brush up on the Constitution (you know that little piece of paper they swear to uphold and defend when elected) you'd understand all of this.

I realized that I've never seen Republicans civilians spazzing out like this.

It must have been confusing. Especially when you're used to seeing the libs like that, huh?

I know... I kept thinking, "But we're the ones who are supposed to carry witty slogans on placards!"

The entertainment value will not be realized until the April 16 after all the footage of the 'protest' comes in. I figure since the Tea-baggers are mostly composed of the people that aren't smart enough to realize that they're actually protesting an administration that's cutting thier taxes, the occasional drooling racist, a couple of gun queers - the melange of retardation should provide for some good entertainment. Add a little alcohol to the mix and some of these first time protestors might just decide that getting associated with this thing probably wasn't such a good idea.

Well I'm trying to find a bar holding one of these so I can get drunk and watch it first hand. My drinking game rules will be that I must take 1 shot for everytime the words teabagging, teabagger, teabagged, or liberal are used. I posted my drinking game rules to another thread and I figure I'll be out in 10 minutes or so :)

Who is liberal and who is a Democrat po'd in TN? Are you sure you have everyone pegged right? I bet ya don't.

Any dog you beat if given a chance is going to take a bite out of ya btw.

My apologies I should not have assumed it was just Liberals and Demos.

Are you saying they are not? Heheheheehe

Maybe all the lefties would be more comfortable if we all ran around with bandanas over our face breaking into shops, throwing trash cans, causing tons of damage to businesses and the such. You know the anarchy we witnessed from some of their finest during the GOP convention.

Is that the way you're supposed to behave libbies?

just think, if Fox News didn't exist, nobody would ever have heard about Reverend Wright, Tony Rezko, and William Ayers.

We know the MSM media couldn't have been counted on to actually report anything negative on their biggest hero during the election. And, they didn't, either.

just think, if Fox News didn't exist, nobody would ever have heard about Reverend Wright, Tony Rezko, and William Ayers.

Lets see, they did 'report' on it, the majority saw little merit in it, and we have a President. Case closed for most of us. When are you guys going to understand?

What they saw was something that would hurt their favorite candidate so they tried too dismiss it. I for one appreciate that FOX ran the story and let me know those things about Obama. .

NYT dropped an October 2008 story showing Obama's close ties with ACORN.

The MSM proved after the 2008 election that they can no longer be trusted.

We not only need Fox News, we need significantly more organizations just like it if we are to ever be told the truth from fair and balanced reporters. The last thing we need are more cheerleaders for Obama.
