Jealous? he-he..We'd rather the country stay focused on things like the economy, piracy, war, mexican violence instead of bunch of right-winger maniacs playing costume. Since we had to watch, we figured we'd laugh.

The GOP didn't pay for them. Donations paid for them. It is not about Democrat or Republican. I guess only a Republican can worry about taxes, checks and balances, responsible spending (of money we don't even have), the Bill of Rights, The Constitution, ect...I guess you get what I'm saying?

Like the farce perpetrated in November?

More the Obama could ever get.
One outlet is reporting around 27,000 people... but all estimates thus far... Obama got close to 200K in Chicago alone for his victory night speech and millions for the inauguration... what are you talking about?

Panama City, Fl about 1000 showed up at one time but another 500 to 1000 cycled thru. Names and contact info was traded. most are religious, gun owning, and people worried about there children paying for our governments playing. Democrats, Republicans and Libertians all together on this one, just mad as hell about the bailout to begin with.

Just sayin, call it what it is.

Thanks for showing these as it DOES show that not everyone is on the obama liberal abortion, socialism, welfare wanting train! As the liberals want everyone to think so they can pass their agenda.

It's just interesting that Republicans didn't protest over those things during the last eight years.

It's pathetic that people don't understand the Tea parties were about over taxation, bailouts and oversized goverment, it must be embarassing to be so stupid.

Donations and it has been quite profitable for them too! People are buying up the merch like crazy! What a way to stimulate the economy! HAHA......
The GOP has absolutely nothing to do with this! Nor does FOX news they are just covering it!

I 2nd that. I'm really surprised that a national network like CNN actually allowed that reporter to be broadcasted to millions of people across the country on television She was definitely "radicalized", as funny as that sounds! She was heated, without reason.

As for these "Tea Parties" being organized by a partisan group...well, if you support mass amounts of money being printed out of thin air and these multi-million dollar companies to continue jumping after "bail outs" than you're just an idiot and have no idea what this country's foundations were built on. Sorry for you. It has nothing to do with one side or the other..this is affecting everyone, including your children, your children's children, and your children's children's children (just like the Social Security crisis! *gasp*)

I know this from people who purpose to know all too!

T.E.A = Taxed-Enough-Already for those who do not know because your liberal MSM's are not covering it beforehand. Sad really it is news and if they were not so slanted they would realize how stupid their stations look!
