Protesting in south downtown on a Saturday is complete fail. Might as well choose to protest in the parking lot of an abandoned shopping center.

I just wish that some of these Tea Party protestors would layoff on the Rush Limbaugh/Neal Boortz kool-aid for a minute and realize that their middle class privileges are just as much under a threat of being revoked by the moneychangers as everyone else's.

We should all be fighting against un-free trade agreements and corporate personhood. The Tea-Partiers are not immune from the madness...what is up with this insane human desire of a person to want be excepted from the rules, even when their reality shows otherwise?

Tea Party protestors; please...PLEASE pull your collective heads out of your sphincters and join us, the 99%!!!

Not if the news media show up. And if it is a slow news day...they probably will.

All this "Occupy (insert name)" would have amounted to nothing if the news media didn't report on it. In Atlanta, they were just a bunch of people camped out on about an acre of Woodruff park. The news media made what they did matter.

Yeah, Rush ain't broke and doesn't care about anyone who isn't donating to his cause.

Well, it turns out that I have to work on Saturday, so I can only be there for about 45 minutes...shouldn't be too hard though. I've already started making my sign > : D

That would take some intelligence, sorely lacking with The Tea Party.

LOL, stereotype and demonize much?

Come on, Acid. When are you guys going to learn? Rush is an entertainer that pushes republican politics. Most tea partiers despise both parties and formed their existence ONLY because of disgust w/ Bush's 2nd term.

Not a tea partier myself, but the ones I know joined the movement ONLY because they were too embarrassed to be called a republican (like Rush) after 2004-2008. That's a fact.

Boortz is a libertarian, which probably fits most tea partiers more accurately.
