Today right-wing "protesters" will gather in Washington, DC for a march to oppose: President Obama,health reform, President Obama, "corruption," President Obama , the conversion to a socialist style government, President Obama, demand evidence that Obama is an American citizen and President Obama.
Did I mention they would protest, their words, "President Obama".

Wow, you actually made a coherent sentence, good for you. I disagree with your premise though. There does not appear to be any other viable party out there yet to vote for, so your solution would to be not to vote at all, which is also not a viable option.

this reminds me of the CNN reporter Roesberg who was caught intentionally misrepresenting the voice. They only recorded polarized signs from the crowds. Watch the video here, for a refresher:

This is just more of the same tactics that were employed against the people on 4/15. -

It's easy to dismiss this as "right wing", or "astroturf" or malign these people as "whack jobs", but to underestimate, or misunderstand these people would be a serious wrong. There IS a movement underway, from the "right" and the "left".

claims for secession, revolution and arming yourself not enough to validate the steam level already? No president ever called a liar before Congress before!

Buckley calmed done the John Birch Society and the McCarthyites before by telling them they were un-American.... but there is no sane voice for the repugs now!

I've watched the video you'd posted. It still shows a group of angry people. It's still just about taxes. Where were these people during the ramp-up to the Iraq war? Weren't they concerned then about the debt that would have to be paid by their grandchildren? Where were they when the bank bailouts were discussed? I don't remember any tea parties then.
(This was supposed to be a response to tadair919; I don't know why it appears as a stand-alone comment.)-

The original tea party was about taxes. That is why the name was taken up. People looking at the $2 trillion deficit that Obma has rung up at this time and some of the people referred to that by talking about their kids and grand kids paying for it.

If you think this is just a bunch of off the wll radicals then why are the polls going the way to the tea party people. Liberals are just ignoring that simple fact. The generic poll has gone to the Republicans now and it looks like the elections coming up soon will be a Republican sweep even in Democrat territory. Explain that away with your rhetoric about the tea party people.
