26. Aren't the tbaggers a minority - 30% of the gop?
And then we have the gop representatives fighting to hold on to their gravy train.

30. I don't have the data, but everything I see and hear around me, teabaggers make up
a large portion of the republican party. Much more than 3/4.

34. one idiot with a bullhorn often drowns out
a crowd chanting ...

and then, when you throw a corporate "liberal" media microphone in front of the bullhorn, well then, what crowd?

13. The country was outraged by scruffy college kids in Chicago in 1968
The irony is that these disgusting excuses for humanity outside the Capitol are the very people who were so outraged 42 years ago.

Generation Suck, indeed.

25. Those "scruffy kids" didn't want to die for LBJ's war - teabaggers want people to get sick & die
Generation Suck is right

9. I think our Congress has morphed into the bastard child of the British and South Korean parliaments
Edited on Sun Mar-21-10 02:53 PM by That Is Quite Enough
I would hope for a riot, but I know more innocents would be harmed than teabaggers.

22. Palin was the first one that I heard use the kkk term "real Americans"
At any rate, Beck, Palin, Bachmann, Limbaugh, all stirring the fear pot are responsible for this ugliness.

16. The protesters will not resort to violence until they KNOW they have
lost - but watch out then. I feel sorry for the police.

20. It'll be a mass suicide for the Teabagger Klan
They cannot win by inciting a violent protest.

Some of the GOP Congress may end up behind bars too.

24. The police will take them out, if and when they decide to start acting violent.
The Teabagger Klan has already lost, and it can only get worse for them, depending on how they behave.

All it will take is a few Teabagger Klan members to fire a gun or two, and then there will be a bloodbath, with dead Teabaggers everywhere.

27. The really pitiful part of it is they know BeKKK will portray them as patriots tomorrow.




And he surely will. Count on it.

31. ... which will make them look even worse, especially since Glenn Beck rejected Jesus Christ on TV.
Glenn Beck's attack on Jesus will soon bear poisonous fruit.

19. This is what Democracy looks like.
I may not agree with the protesters or their tactics, but I'm certainly not the least bit afraid of them.
