About two dozen gun-toting Tea Party activists staged a rally at the Montana statehouse on Friday to support the Second Amendment right to bear arms and limiting the reach of the federal government.

Outnumbered by the media and politicians in attendance, the protesters spoke in favor of conservative-backed bills to nullify various U.S. laws, such as the Endangered Species Act or the newly enacted reform of the nation's healthcare system.

Their firearms included handguns and a semi-automatic rifle. But their broad sentiment was in favor of numerous bills introduced in the Montana legislature backing states rights.

"A lot of people say nullification will lead to anarchy or civil war or destruction of the union, and that couldn't be further from the truth," said Republican moran state lawmaker Derek Skees. "It's actually the opposite. It allows for a pressure valve, a release for the people to get their voices heard."

teabaggers = brown shirts

1. Baggers arfe becoming a HUGH JOKE

2. the same people who call the Madison protestors "thugs"

and they may have a point.

Playing Black Eyed Peas songs full blast is more of an assault on our freeedoms than brandishing an assault rifle at the statehouse.

3. You got 24 tea-baggers and everyone in the corporate media is there

to push the tea-baggers Koch brother agenda. Hell the tea-baggers were even outnumbered by the media and politicians.

Pretty soon Koch brother baggers will just stop using real humans. They will simply put up poster boards and cut-outs of Tea-Baggers while Fox and GOP politicians interview them.

But if 100,000 normal Americans gather in protest, the corporate media is all hush, hush. There is no American free press it's all captured by the corporate aristocracy. If it were not for MSNBC, I would not own a TV.

It seems even President Obama has to buddy around with GOP criminals in order to get favorable press.

What a scam.
