Tea Party Protest D.C. Metro Service

Here are some of the ones I pulled off the Wall Street Journal's Blog -- But I'm sure DU can do better!


“Really teabaggers? Now you’re complaining that there wasn’t adequate government spending on public transit when you needed it? Grow up. Government isn’t some toy that you get to play with whenever you want and refuse to share with all the other kids”.

mp wrote: "So now we have anti-government protesters complaining about the lack of government-run transit to go along with the absurdity of Republican (who have spent decades trying to kill Medicare) complaining that Obama’s “government takeover” of health care will kill Medicare. Anyone see even a hint of common sense (Glenn Beck’s favorite catchphrase) in these stories?"

QuestionEvil wrote: "Damn you… Government funded taxpayer subsidized transportation system for not getting us to our protest against government funded taxpayer subsidized transportation systems…Apparently irony is one of those communist fascist socialist intellectual liberal things that is completely lost on “real” Americans."
