1. Isn't that one poster a picture of Terry Schaivo? WTF?

[Lost-in-FL]

4. Yup

Confirming that yes indeed, there are "death panels" in guvment! :sarcasm:

[givemebackmycountry]

7. Yes, sadly it is.

Everytime I think they can't sink any lower, they do just that.

[aquart]

19. They're blaming Obama for that?

Their brains must look like spaghetti with real tomato sauce. No logical thought at all.

[Johonny]

29. Ironically she's the poster child for why you want a living will

But the stupid don't get it.

[sakabatou]

47. Another sign of right-wing amnesia

[flvegan]

2. "You can't fix stupid but you can vote it out." Yep, did that. Thanks.

[rbrnmw]

31. No Doubt

they are a bit late on that one Obama is certainly more intelligent than all of them put together

[Robeysays]

3. the weirdest thing is most these signs for 8 years were in our protests...

they can't even think of there own signs. what morons. it's no wonder their average IQ is about 70...

Edit: had to pluralize protest, i forgot we did this every year for 8 years with easily 10 times as many people.

[aquart]

24. And no coverage.

[PatSeg]

62. I've been thinking the same thing

They're imitating liberal slogans and tactics, but without any substance to back them up. Bringing guns to rallies and town halls is uniquely right-wing though. Not sure that is necessarily original, just flat out stupid.

[Avalux]

5. Wait a cotton-pickin' minute! I was told the protest was about "taxed enough already".

I don't see one sign there about lowering taxes; just a lot of Obama and Democrat hate.

What gives teabaggers? Do you even know why you're doing what you're doing??

[aquart]

20. Uh, no.

[iceman66]

34. The irony is

Obama actually LOWERED the taxes of most of these idiots!

[truedelphi]

43. If they knew what they were doing, would they be

Using the term "teabaggers" to describe themselves?

[dixiegrrrrl]

48. Good point.

:rofl:

[rbrnmw]

56. It is quite obvious they don't know what tea bagging is so

they dont even know why we find it so funny they are idiots

[truedelphi]

60. The first few weeks of the tea bagger nonsense, I used to love watching

Rachel Maddow trying not to lose it when she was using that term.

[Roland99]

6. "Trade freedom for security and you will have neither"... interesting

Where was that guy when Bush was gutting the Fourth Amendment?

[aquart]

21. Is there anything in the Obama agenda that even relates to that?

[Roland99]

37. Absolutely nothing but don't let that get in the way of the Freeper mentality

One guy, I presume the token black speaker, was saying "We got freedom. We don't need hope."


Uhhh...wtf is that even supposed to mean?!

[ShadowLiberal]

46. That got my attention to, looks more like an anti-GOP protester to me

I mean seriously, stuff like the Patriot act, and permanent detentions, both of which Bush started, make much more sense for a sign like that.

Though really, if they wanted to make it look like a protest to support Obama they could have done something better then that.

[d_b]

8. supposedly there are 'tens of thousands'

where are they?

[RoccoR5955]

33. I'm watching C-SPAN and there are no tens of thousands

five thousand maybe, but no tens of thousands.

[treestar]

9. The nerve of them using 911 images

Hateful assholes.

[surrealAmerican]

49. Were they trying to insinuate that 9/11 was caused by government spending?

... or were they threatening a similar terrorist attack if government spending continues?

[madeline_con]

53. Complete with a Falwellian warning: "Stop sinning or something worse

could happen." These people are cetifiable.

spell edit

[cyndensco]

63. "Stop sinning or something worse could happen"

So, they're implying 9/11 happened because of sinning?

Isn't this an admission that the chickens came home to roost?

[demmiblue]

10. "HEY, ObamaCare. HANDS OFF MY BODY"

umm... :crazy:

[ixion]

12. and what do you want to bet that person is anti-abortion

I'll lay you dollars to donuts this person doesn't feel the same way about a woman's right to choose.

[rbrnmw]

18. Like anyone would want to touch their bodies

except to put it in a straight jacket maybe they make me sick with Remember 9/11 along with their garbage :puke:

[Davis_X_Machina]

11. The entire movement,...

...or 'movement', could accurately rally and march only under a banner that reads

We're madder than hell

-- but mostly very, very confused --

and we're not going to take it any more!

-- As soon as we work out what 'it' is.

[Toucano]

22. +1

Excellent summation.

[Viking12]

40. I'm Stealing.

Perfect clarity.

[Toucano]

13. "Jesus is the Messiah. Not Obama"

That's right. Jesus is not Obama.

Glad we cleared that up.

[Davis_X_Machina]

14. And Beck is not...

..Beck.

[jonnyblitz]

16. you might want to tell this guy that..

[jonnyblitz]

17. delete-dupe

[blondeatlast]

57. And yet the bearer of the sign probably was one of those forwarding that stupidass meme

in 2008.

[graywarrior]

15. LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:puke:

[Poll_Blind]

23. Find a person of color in any one of those pictures, win a prize!

PB

[Johonny]

30. man my thoughts 100 %

this is racism, nothing more.

[blondeatlast]

58. The "You can't fix stupid" lady is quite pink, does that count? nt

[rbrnmw]

25. OMG

the picture of someone in a coffin real classy whackjobs:sarcasm: I find that very disrespectful

[TygrBright]

26. ooooo... lookit all da white people! n/t

[Julius Civitatus]

27. The CEO of FreedomWorks just claimed they are 1.5 million!!!! BHAHAHAHAHA

The CEO of FreedomWorks (organizer of this FAIL) just claimed that ABC News is reporting their 9/12 march is about 1.5 million people.

When you see the images, it's difficult to even justify 10% or 5% of the number they are claiming.

"Morans"!

[RoccoR5955]

35. You would figure with that many they could muster more than 5k at a protest!

Heck, I could get 5k out in a month if I worked alone!
I'm watching this on C-SPAN, and the entire crowd is lily white! There's maybe 5k there 10 at the absolute maximum!

[Johonny]

28. anyone remember that old SNL republican party skit

where they pan back from the 3 minorities and it's all white guys. These photos are basically embarrassing to my race. Frankly I'd "care" a lot more if these people had marched when Bush passed his prescription medicine bill (what a commie), transformed a surplus into the largest deficit ever, or stood up against Nazi style tactics like torture, invading sovereign nations, destroying unions... seriously this is just basic old fashion racism in the politically correct era.

[RoccoR5955]

32. This is an all out war now.

I am going to get together with people in NYC, and see that there is a protest like they never saw before. They want a change, it's time to put these damn teabaggers in their place.

[Divine Discontent]

36. that crazy ol' racist in the truck with Terry Schiavo's body is grotesque - of course he uses 9/11

he probably wacks off to Rudy Giuliani photos every night.

And what the hell!?

Let me guess, the guy on the left, and the one on the right would say they're straight - but, I am Gay, I know Gay! Can't believe they would take part in this anti-Obama racist hate fest. Log Cabin stooges.


ON EDIT - I see that the one on the left is just there to make MONEY with his friend. ANYTHING to make $ I guess! I suppose if the rethugs will give you $5 for a button, take it from them! Maybe they're protesting DOMA - yeah right, amongst THAT crowd, I doubt it... ha

[girl gone mad]

45. Slap me, but..

I thought the same thing when I saw that photo. Is that a theater troupe?

[Divine Discontent]

54. a theater troupe! LOL... I know, no sorry there, it's what I "know" about me that I see in their

behavior and look, and then having a few of them like that together just made the obvious - well, glaring!

Theater Troupe cracked me UP! I only wish they really were joking!

[Arugula Latte]

59. Lol. I was just going to post that photo and say that the guy on the right looks like "one of us."

If I saw him on the street I'd never think he was a wingnut (well, the shirt is a big tip-off, but other than that ...)

[azmouse]

38. Where were these fools for the 8 years boosh was destroying the country?

[lunatica]

51. On their knees thanking God that he was doing so

Didn't you hear how God actually talked to Bush on a regular basis and told him bomb Iraq and Afghanistan? Where have you been?

[lunatica]

39. They proudly call themselves an astroturf movement?!

They have such a way with words!

[OneTwentyoNine]

44. Yeah because what they're doing is FAKE and not REAL.....

[Warren DeMontague]

65. No, if anyone was really funding this shit, it wouldn't look so completely pathetic.

Wow. Really impressive protest, there. :rofl:

[LuckyLib]

41. How many people are estimated to be here, anyway. Looks sparse to me.

Of course it will be covered as if it were a half million. Unlike the protests against the Iraq War that went on all over the US: crickets . . . . .

[Ikonoklast]

42. Wow. Literally dozens of people.

Suckers, every last one of them.


I hope they spent tons of dough on their foolishness.

[Divine Discontent]

55. msnbc uses AP story that says, "thousands PACK Washington DC"

pack???? really? are they into bumping and rubbing their fellow repub? because they sure as heck didn't HAVE to with the few ten thousands at most who showed. It's a showing, yes, but far from the 2 mil Nutso wanted, and it proves that you can assemble a few dozen NUTS at any town hall meeting to cause a ruckus!

[marybourg]

50. Gee. Where are all those stupid damn old Medicare recipients

that have been blamed here on DU for being against the health care plan??!!?? Looks like mostly folks with all their own teeth and hair color to me.

[madeline_con]

52. "Hey, Obama Care HANDS OFF MY BODY"

Ironic from the anti-choice crowd!

[Odin2005]

61. They are still whining about Terry Shiavo?

:wtf:

[Warren DeMontague]

64. I count AT LEAST 80 people there.

"Hands off my body"... that's funny, coming from the party of the Sex and Birth Control Police.
