This is what fair and balanced means to them.
It's just another isolated incident .

[liberal N proud]

1. For Teabaggers, free speech is only a right when they agree with the message.

Otherwise, they consider it treason.

You can't reason with stupidity.

[butterfly77]

2. This is nothing new.,

that is what they do take the microphone, they took up and bought most of the radio stations.

They take over the microphone on fox,they talk over the guests and there is usually 3,4,or 5 Cons against one Dem which I saw an example of this morning on Bulls and Bears on fox.

They filibuster on the floor and on interviews because THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

And one more thing the guy from Pennsylvania was selling breads,pastries or whatever can keep his baked goods, hands were germy and unsanitary,UGH!!

[Arctic Dave]

3. I wonder if the guy with the sign that had a "Libertarian" sticker saw his own stupidity by trying

to harass the guy with the megaphone.

[lunasun]

7. I was thinking the same thing about the sticker!!!

Shoulda stuck to the 'hell no' side of the sign for the lens!.......hypocriticalboob

4. Why is it the white RWers can't go anywhere without eating something ?

It is really quite disgusting to watch someone walking
down the street stuffing themselves, as if whatever they
were eating was their last meal.

[gadjitfreek]

15. Do you think...

...unchecked gastronomical gluttony is restricted to conservative white people only? I'll tell you now, from personal experience, it is not. Fight back against their ignorance, their intolerance and their self-destructive ideals, but an ad hominem attack like this does not help our side any either.

[Monk06]

20. I'm talking about eating as a social value not a medical condition. I am overweight

myself but I do not stuff myself with junk food while
walking down the street. The sight of that pretzel seller
in the vid was too much. Could have been pretzels, dogs, pizza
no matter. It's compulsive, low brow form of conspicuous consumption.

[Monk06]

5. And the RWer with the black T shirt; "Now you have to get a job to get a new one."

Of course since the guy is black he's on welfare.

And they get pissy when you call them racists.

[20score]

14. You called that right. It's ingrained in them.

No doubt he would deny being a racist. "What'd I say? Just told him, 'now he has to get job?' What's wrong with that?"

[emilyg]

6. At least he didn't steal a Koran.

[jhrobbins]

13. Can't that guy whole stole the megaphone be identified through this video?

He committed assault and theft

[urgk]

25. I posted this down-thread, but it might be useful here too. (pic)

He's also at 1:10-1:30 in the vid.

[TheEuclideanOne]

28. I was thinking the same thing

I must be a hypocrite too. Sad but true, but I'll admit it. When I saw the Quran stealing video, I thought that it was great. Funny how when something happens to your side or against the other side, you view it in different ways, eh? The reality is that both incidents are similar, actually, and both equally wrong for hindering each party's freedom of speech.

[emilyg]

31. Exactly. Thnk you. That's why

I posted my comment.

[Devil_Fish]

8. That was wrong on so meny levels. NT

[emilyg]

32. As wrong as stealing the Koran.

[Devil_Fish]

9. who the hell un-rec'ed this?

[emilyg]

33. I did. For hypocrisy.

[Spiderzumbie]

10. No, there's NO Racists in the Tea Party

"NOW U NEED TO GETZ A JERB TO PAY FUR ANNUDER WON!!"
No, that wasn't at all based on his race at all.

[jhrobbins]

11. And I guarantee you that the man holding up the banner that said

Shrug, Atlas, Shrug was the ONLY person there that knew what it meant!!!

[blackspade]

12. A-holes

My loathing for the Tea-party only increases daily.

At least those ladies at the end have a clue (well, a partial one)

[border_town]

16. That is sad.

The guy had to stalk him and then pounce. These people are pathetic. Come on progressives, are we really going to let these idiots take over our country. We need to get off our ass and vote. I am certain the sane out numbers the insane.

[urgk]

17. The guy who took it is in the vid around 1:10-1:30 too. In a Marine T. (pic)

I wonder if he IS a Marine. This does not look like Honor or Courage.

"The three Corps Values: honor, courage, commitment. They make up the bedrock of the character of each individual Marine. They are the foundation of his Corps."



(edited for brevity)

[Mortos]

19. That douchebag is about as much a marine as

Rush Limbaugh is a Recon sniper. Did you notice his agility and prowess in scaling that 3 foot wall. I believe the guy with the megaphone was trying to annoy the shit out of the right wingers but it doesn't justify ripping the loudspeaker out of his hand with such force that it broke it. What a giant wimp the "marine" was. Attack from behind and runaway.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Good catch

The guy who had the megaphone needs to be pressing charges.

[emilyg]

34. So I guess the guy

who had the Koran stolen needs to be pressing charges, too.

[rep the dems]

18. Crazies stealing from other crazies.

That's the teabagger way!

[Crowman1979]

21. That dude with the megaphone and the dude selling the pretzels were the only likeable people...

...in the crowd.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Well at least those two women at the end thought it was wrong

Kudos to the man with the megaphone! He gets a bravery award from me.

[concreteblue]

24. WHO IS THE GUY W/THE MEGAPHONE?

What a GREAT stream of consciousness performer...

[WhoIsNumberNone]

26. He's just some nut that lives in DC

He was doing the same thing all day at the Earth Day concert, so he's an equal opportunity agitator. Although I doubt the teabaggers realize this. I'd love to see what they're saying about this guy on free repubic.

[shawn703]

30. He did the same thing on the corner outside my office

There was no demonstration, just him with his megaphone rambling about the Gospel. It's not uncommon in DC, but I remember him because of his megaphone. No politics involved just thought he was a little "off", which isn't uncommon on the corners of DC.

[Crowman1979]

29. He's very good at free verse poetry, does he perform at coffee houses?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

35. I doubt it

My impression is that he's kind of a crazy street preacher type. He may be drawn to crowds on the Mall (bigger audience), but apparently this is just what he does. I'd love to see him turn up at some more teabagger events :evilgrin:

[DWinNJ]

27. To add my 2 cents

The guy with the megaphone was generally annoying with his droning on,
but as far as I could tell he was not saying anything that the TPs would object to.

I admire his demeanor. If I had some fat guy with a sign hovering around me and holding a sign in my face I would probably have punched him out.

Megaphone man even had fun with the person with the music who was also hovered and tried to drown out his message.

On fat, black shirt guy’ comment; he felt compelled to comment on his assumptions about megaphone man, but no comment about the other guy (who looked like he could be his brother) stalker, thief, bully, coward.

This clip shows how there are a lot of hypocritical haters in TP movement.

36. Like the pig said, we're all equal, its just that some of us are more equal than others.
