ready for Palin's speech today

[Glimmer of Hope]

1. That is hilarious!

[curiousdemo]

20. Oh My God!!

The people who was there wasn't even interested. LOL!!!
:rofl: We gonna take our country back!!!!!!, with 10 people no less...:rofl:

[Dawson Leery]

2. Bitter bigots who will never accept that the world is

changing. People are talking to each other. The social conservatism of yesterday will no longer be. This cannot come soon enough.

[SkyDaddy7]

25. I don't see your optimism at all...

I would love to think America is getting ready to move into the 21st Century instead of back to the 19th but in 2013 when President Rick Perry has taken the oath lets see what progress comes...Let's see if "social conservatism of yesterday will no longer be".

Yes, if you break things down into specific issues & take a poll it seems a majority is in favor of many progressive issues BUT Americans are NOT ready to shed their obsession with brain dead, science denying, Christian Right Authoritarians...And this is why we will not be moving onto the 21st Century anytime soon.

Plus, the issues Americans may say they support in polls quickly changes when the Right Wing Media Machine goes into top gear. We are still a decade or more away from real change in this country if we do decide to go with Perry in 2013.

[notGaryOldman]

45. Maybe we're just not that bright.

I was pissed off when Bill Maher first suggested that on Politically Incorrect, but, as the years have gone by.....

[wial]

48. 19th? I think they'd prefer to go back further

to the first half of the 18th century, before the Lisbon tsunami woke up the world to the fact God maybe wasn't really that nice after all (as detailed in Candide) and we might need a political wing to the scientific enlightenment, leading to all kinds of awful things like the American Revolution.

[pennylane100]

3. your headline was just plain mean

I almost choked when I read it.

[Mz Pip]

4. that's what happens

when you peak too soon. :rofl:

Palin who??

[Supply Side Jesus]

5. The Revolution will NOT be televised mutha fuckas!!

because Ice Road Truckers was on apparently LoL

[GreatInDayton]

6. Wish I could remember, but...

This is the same "performer" from a different TP event... Hope she's getting scale.

[JHB]

17. Scale?

Isn't that some Union thing? :evilgrin:

[Warpy]

7. Well, the crowd did outnumber the people selling tchotchkes

but only just. It's the most lethargic "rally" I've ever seen.

No wonder they're fizzling out.

[rucognizant]

59. I am embarressed to say...........

Someone on my Facebook actually attended the thing & posted 100 pix. ( Her older relative is a dear friend & we need to stay connected in case of illness)
It WAS POORLY ATTENDED!

[PSPS]

8. LOL. I guess the band was off camera.

Some people never seem to notice that they have no dignity left.

[Arctic Dave]

9. OMG! That is too funny.

Talked about trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Her enthusiasm is as fake as their movement.

[Grassy Knoll]

10. Glenn Bekkk Sez One Million.

12. With that kind of "rock and roll music" I wondered

Where was the bubble machine? OMG... lets do the hoaky pokey! :rofl:

[JoeyT]

51. They can't use the bubble machine anymore.

Too many people would keel over from the excitement.

Actually they probably just couldn't figure out a way to charge per person per bubble. Bubble Machines are socialism!

[penndragon69]

54. Where's the bubble machine?

Didn't you notice that the crowd was too busy smoking their crack pipes to care.

[struggle4progress]

13. i see late nite tv infomercials in somebody's future

[Historic NY]

14. Its a senior excercise video?

[rucognizant]

60. DON"TKNOCK US!

ALL my PROGRESSIVE friends are Seniors. We remember better than any one, how good America used to be! & WE ARE PISSED!

[mwb970]

15. Deeply pathetic on so many, many levels. /nt

[gordianot]

16. Kitsch.

[mikekohr]

18. I see old white people

stupid old white people

[NICO9000]

57. Yup - old, fat, white, stupid

and hopefully dead soon. Fuck these pieces of shit. They've voted for right-wing pricks for the past 30 years and NOW they want "their" country back? They can have it.

[rucognizant]

61. YOU ARE FLAGGED!

this "old white, piece of shit" has been a voter & Democratic activist for 50 years.........................
And I am NOT going any where for a long while.
I can see in my Family Geneology book, that for 3 centuries, most of us lived into our 80's & 90's. The exception was our Rev. War Hero who contracted TB at Valley Forge and died at 54! broke as well.........as his funds went to his soldiers/ food & boots.
I did GOTV in Nov. ( made more calls than anyone else) Over 1/2 the voters I called were OLD DEMOCRATS, ( 65 - 90) been voting that way for years.AND BEEN VOTING! BUT they were confused by the REP. NOISE MACHINE. They came (Koch Bros $) into our county for the first time, to unseat our Dem Congressman. Failing at that they are now trying for sweeping reapportionment. We are so few..............we have been ignored until now. That they are working to enlist us now, says to me "endgame" tying up the loose ends.
I grew up in a very liberal town in NJ. We are ALL OLD NOW..............& very sad!

[russspeakeasy]

19. The reason for the small turn out was that it was too nice out

and the gays were walking around and everybody was celebrating the 4th of July...so there !!:sarcasm: (if I didn't put the sarcasm on, someone would respond and tell me that it was Labor day and not the 4th of July....I'm serious about the weather and the gays tho...

[polmaven]

22. Oh, well,

I didn't know about teh gays walking around....Nobody wanted to catch it, huh? ....(me too with :sarcasm:)

[lame54]

21. pounds don't count

[progressoid]

39. Bwaaa

:spray:

[matt819]

23. Pathetic doesn't even come close

Looks like a parody of a gym class at a nursing home.

[KansDem]

24. They need another stimulus package...

CALLING THE KOCH BROTHERS!!! :applause:

[poverlay]

26. When did the "Wiggles" become the official headliner for teaparty rallies? N/t

[poverlay]

27. Dupe

[Yon_Yonson]

28. So this is what half a million teabaggers look like

[stillrockin]

29. Effing hilarious. Paging Tracey Ullman!

[mod mom]

30. I wish KO would air this !! rec'd

[Vinca]

31. OMG - it's like 2 big dogs fighting in a red sack.

:rofl:

[jtown1123]

32. Can we send this to John Stewart? This needs to be mocked mercilessly.

[rosesaylavee]

33. That reminds me of this scene... life imitating art again.

[liberal N proud]

34. ROFLMAO

[humanityisfree]

35. 500,000

blades of grass - lol

[Auggie]

36. So how the heck do these losers have such a loud voice in politics?

No one's coming to the rallies yet they still seem to be directing the national rhetoric.

[Critters2]

40. Exactly what I was wondering.

How could this bunch of losers hold the whole damn nation hostage?

[rucognizant]

62. FOLLOW THE MONEY HONEY!

The rich are funding this!

[Bob Loblaw]

37. This is why...

they're always pirating songs for their rallies. Must log off... gotta go tend to the bleeding in my ears.

[snacker]

38. Why did expect Barney ( the purple dinosaur)

to walk out on "stage"?

[Hutzpa]

41. How the mighty have fallen.

We are witnessing the end of the teahardist.



:applause:

[lumpy]

42. Wooow are we doin' it? Wooow...Whoopeeeee. Yaaaayyyyy...

Wheeeeeeee......

[avaistheone1]

43. All I can say is

LOL





:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Botany]

44. wow what a diverse crowd ..... both old and white

Literally 10s of people in that crowd.

BTW The bus says tea party express on it.



Phony ass astro turfed crap ..... "Organic Grass Roots Organization"

The Tea Party Express was started by Sal Russo, who has been working for republican causes since 1966

[RoccoR5955]

46. Did they forget their token people of color?

Looks like about five million to me! Well Fox Propaganda might report it as 5 million.

[JohnnyRingo]

47. Don't tread on my medicare seems to be the message

Everyone else can go straight to hell.
I guess the era of the "compassionate conservative" is officially dead.

[orbitalman]

49. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..... n/t

[spedtr90]

50. That music is like the MADtv Take Back America Tour

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqZaQKskP-A

Songs for "simple-minded simple people".

"The Lord loves the NRA
He told me that the other day
He spelled it out in bullets in the sky....."


"Nothing would be sweeter
Than to shoot a welfare cheater
In the morning....."

[lib2DaBone]

52. Who is paying for this TeaBag nightmare? It costs money to put these shows on...

It costs money to put these shows on. Permits, Porta Pottys, Tents, Sound System. Big Bucks.

I'm sure if you follow the money it leads to the KOCH (coke) Bros.!

Do NOT take these Tea Bag Nuts lightly. It was people such as this that led the way in Germany in 1932. Also, watch what Gen David Patreaus does. He could pop out as the Repuke last-minute candidate... sealing the fate of the USA as officially a Fascist Government.

We are now re-living Germany 1932.. both economically and militarily.

Gen Patreaus was sworn in today as the head of the CIA by Joe Biden... with glowing remarks... beware...

[Javaman]

53. that's just sad.

there you have the concentrated stupid. the last racist hold outs who refuse to give up the "dream".

at least a few of them have to be thinking "what the fuck have I done?", but won't actually quit because "they have committed to much of their time!". LOL

[David Sky]

55. You GOT me! You great fibber, you!

Had me wondering what picture or video would come about.

500,000, about the number of people in the whole world that take Sarah Palin seriously these days! IMO

Thanks for the laughs!

[raouldukelives]

56. lol nt

[muntrv]

58. That lady on stage wanted to do the YMCA. BAD!!!!!
