9.12 DC TEA PARTY - March Footage with Interviews Video

PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS VIDEO.

On 9.12.2009, we went to Washington DC to document the Tea Party protests against, well, a lot of things, including health insurance reform, the IRS, abortion, global warming, and our "socialist/communist/fascist/Nazi/Muslim" president, Barack Obama. Some of them called for a return to McCarthyism, while others called for Glenn Beck to run for office--indeed, it seemed the only thing that everyone agreed on was Fox News.

A NOTE ON CZARS:
Some users have pointed out that White House "Czars" existed long before Ronald Reagan. As it turns out, Donald Nelson, appointed under FDR as a "Wartime Production Czar", was the first. We appreciate this correction, though such an oversight does not dilute our point--the current outcry against Czars is totally ahistorical and the result of Glenn Beck's alarmist coverage of Obama's appointees.

I can't remember ...
I can't remember who said this but it's entirely true with respect to US foreign policy: "When America sneezes, the rest? of the world catches a cold".

I talked to a ...
I talked to a friend who is in the organization and he is reiterating the sate thing that you are? saying. He says some don't like the direction now. Kock bros. are funding it. So sad, huh?

So sad. The Tea ...
So sad. The Tea Party had such promise. It saddens me that it got co-oped by the machine. Thank you? for the kind words.

Which is why the ...
Which is why the Tea Party isn't what it used to be. I just can't look at it with a straight face, I remember when there used to be a? whole heap of Democrats in the Tea Party too. But it's changed. Eh. Perhaps it was even corporate money which swayed the whole protest to go against Obama rather than the corporatist schemes.

Well you're one of ...
Well you're one of the very few that actually wants an? intelligent discussion, so yes. I disagree. I wouldn't say these are the fringes of the movement anymore, some of the redneck-type signs which say "I'm unarmed this time", and the hitler-Obama posters are not on the fringe, but what I've been seeing lately. Any introduction of religion or things that are completely off topic like abortion should not be there anyway too.

NicholeNA, I ...
NicholeNA, I appreciate that the fact you do honor my request to control your language. I thank you. I read two of your posts. you made very good points and I agree with you. However, as I said earlier what we are seeing in the vid the fringes of the movement. Every movements has its fringe unfortunately. Of course, you spent time in the? organization and I should respect that. Thank you for clarifying your views. Be well.

Of course I'm not ...
Of course I'm not saying it's a crackpot idea to be pro-life, I'm using that crackpot himself who was there in the video as an example of what the Te Party has now evolved into very dangerously by fostering people who are there to just promote their beliefs. Signs that talking of? being unarmed "this time", and all of this slandering of nazi-like and communist-like Obama by far is the most nonsensical of things.

Of course I'm not ...
Of course I'm not saying all? of them are a bunch of uneducated lunatic hillbilies, but as is evident just merely from that video you can tell that a large number of them are there for the wrong reasons, and are only using this as an excuse to hate Obama even whilst not knowing anything. Look at one of those kids talking about gas prices for example, whilst being COMPLETELY IGNORANT of why the prices have to come to be as a global commodity.

BTW YOU are the ...
BTW YOU are the communist you dumb b***h,? you're making the rest of us look bad!

Oh jesus, thought ...
Oh jesus, thought this video was for a Republican rally not the Tea? Party...... sorry for the mixup!

I understand your ...
I understand your concern and share it. He must meant the original propose of the Planned Parenthood which? was rid of African-Americans by eugenics and abortions. As for tiring the history's murders with Anti-Christ, for them, it is natural to label them anti-Christs? on their evil deeds. Of course, I agree with you on that score. Although evil, they are not that. Unfortunately, on the fringe of any organization you will have loons.

I am pro-life, and ...
I am pro-life, and I found the statements said by that? man disturbing. For one, he bought up abortion as a black issue... I have no idea how people can become so warped. Signs like "we are unarmed- this time". Supporting McCarthyism. First of all, I don't understand how these people are tying in Nazis-Communists-Terrorists-AntiChrist into one thing. That doesn't even make sense. Can they at least pick one thing to label him as? They just sound like confused and ignorant people.

No. Libertarians ...
No. Libertarians AREN'T centralist like popular belief. We are neo-liberas. We? were known in the early America as Radical Revolutionary Whigs or liberals. We were and are the almost extreme right. Learn that. You sound like a Neo-conservative *a true centralist),? a rhino, just like Mitt Romney. Btw, I am neither a Democrat or a Republican.

First, can you ...
First, can you argue without the use of profanity?You sound like the thing that you accuse the Tea Party being - a bunch of uneducated lunatic hillbillies. The Wall Street "thugs" which you did so cleverly colored them, should go to jail (only ones? who actually broke the law). Secondly, it is not a cock pot idea to be pro-life and it doesn't determine my support of the Tea Party. Yes, it doesn't has any importance in this conversation. Then, why bring it up? I am a right-wing libertarian.

It shows? how ...
It shows? how easily manipulated the ignorant are.

Really? Do the ...
Really? Do the people here bash the Tea Party because they are lunatic hillbillies. True? My point was the left has its fair share of crazies. Somehow, you miss my point. Believe it or now, Obama is a communist. It is very documented. Don't believe me? That's fine. ? You have your beliefs and I have mine. Anyway, that's why we hate Obama.

Honestly, how many ...
Honestly, how many people are there for the sake of being dumb mother f**kers ho want an excuse to hate Obama, instead of being against more corporatist things? And you see a random crackpot talking about abortion???? Which has no f**king s**t to do? with the actual causes? You see that its now evovled into enticing these bible thumping right-winged paranoid freaks. I don't like the left or right for that matter too.

Have you seen those ...
Have you seen those people who were interviewed for? example? God damn...

Typical, randomly ...
Typical, randomly talking about Stalin and Hitler when it has no s**t to do with this. I used to support the Tea Party when it stood for what? it stood back when it was first created. Now it's just a big fest of anti-Obama stuff.

to say most? of the ...
to say most? of the Tea Party is uneducated and "rednecks" is nuts. Did you go to a rally/ Did you ever meet a Tea Party member or supporter? Well, my friend who is? a cancer specialist is a Tea Party member. How dare you judge us? Just maybe we are intelligent than you think. Just think about it.

Are you that ...
Are you that ignorant? We want keep our rights, you moron. If you want your guns,? you are supporting the Tea Party. WHAT A BUNCH OF DUMMIES HERE!!!!!!!!!

Wowwwwwwww. What an ...
Wowwwwwwww. What an intelligent statement you made. I do wonder - what do you consider Stalin and Hitler to be? Not lunatics? This is what I am talking about. Believe or not, both sides have loons but to say most of the Tea Party is uneducated and "rednecks" is nuts. Did you go to a rally/ Did you ever meet a Tea Party member or supporter? Well, my? friend who is a cancer specialist is a Tea Party member. How dare you judge us? Just maybe we are intelligent than you think. Just think about it.
