This video was originally posted on YouTube on May 4, 2010. That's the 40th anniversary of the Kent State Massacre. The weekend before on May 1, some Kent State College Republicans along with Portage Country (OH) TEA Party Brigade or whatever decided to hold a Tea Party in front of the Kent State Student Union. There were some people that responded in their own special way, from a guy dressed as Uncle Sam, to a few people dressed like characters from Alice in Wonderland (tea party, get it?) to Kent Anti-Racist Action who just happened to be holding a conference at the same time.

This video takes place within 8 minutes, and it was all the time ARA needed to expose the teabaggers as the racist scumbags they are. Mad props to them and everyone that made this rather impromptu response pretty cool, to say the least. By the way, the reason why we used "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield was because the teabaggers are using that song in one of their promo videos. They want to take our country back. We want to take our music back.

1. They ought to get Ted Nugent to pen a theme song for them, but...............

.........if they get the "Nuge", they better lock up their underage daughters.

8. The head banger in chief Ted Nugent

is a lousy musician and a worse song writer, and on top that he's a big rubber.

2. Jesus.

Teabaggers are morons.

3. none of those teafuckers had anything worthwhile, cogent or relevant to say

to justify their breathtaking lack of respect about why they were at Kent State holding a tea bagger rally, playing Springsteen's "Born in the USA" and not listening to the verses, only the chorus.

If they think they're going to talk uninterrrupted, then they've got another thought coming.

You may have a right to free speech, but you don't have a right to its dissemination. Sorry, playa.

4. Born in the USA

Springsteen should get an injunction against any teabagger group using his music. He'd be SICK if he knew about this!

[ut oh]

5. The only problem I see with this type of video

is that it's just going to come across to many as a bunch of yahoos screaming at each other.

There are definitely some good points being made, but a vast majority of the video is just noise...

6. I bet some of those teabaggers were decendents or members of that Ohio NG unit 40 years ago.

Facists pretending their oppresed, how pathetic.

7. I am glad to see folks challenging the Tea Party Crowd, although am not sure

this gets the other side's point across that well. You just end up with two crowds yelling at each other. Unfortunately, that seems like the only way to get attention from the media. I get sick of tired of people acting like Tea Partiers represent anything more than a small minority.
