Thanks, but this wingnut obviously gets it, whats your excuse?
Since the current debt was caused by 8 years of Bush mismanagement, theft and stupidity, then I guess these people are really just protesting the GOP, and the rape of the GOP by the far right.

What, exactly, are the protesters protesting? The marginal tax rate rising 3% for millionaires?
By Marc Cooper

April 15, 2009

The Web is buzzing with information about how to throw an anti-Obama Taxpayer Tea Party, something organizers hope will be held today from Santa Monica to South Carolina. But no need to burn up your bandwidth reading complicated instructions. Here's a simpler recipe:

Go to a hobby store. Buy a scale model of a U.N. One-World-Government Black Helicopter and a tube of glue. Toss the model kit. Sniff the entire tube of glue. You're all set for the party.


For the rest of this editorial, please click the following link:

Anti-Obama Taxpayer Tea Parties steeped in insanity - Los Angeles Times


I like the glue sniffing suggestion the best. Seems to have worked.
I'm not quite sure the protesters know what they are protesting. Typical Profile of the typical FAUX NEWS viewership. FAUX NEWS directs them to protest and they protest. Little do they know they are protesting against their own best interest... Is this a prelude to the 2012 election cycle? OMG I cannnot wait, more fodder for SNL...

Don't forget that Tax Protesters are White Racist Extremists - just look at the crowds of melanin deficient people at those Tea Parties.

Egads!

Maybe the morons on the GOP right can FIX that damage before they run their mouth about the new guy trying to clean up YOUR mess.
Hey Mike, listen to Fox the rest of the day and try to realize that Bush is taking as much heat as Obama is.

As Glenn Beck is now saying, neither party is more to blame than the other since they are both equally involved. this thing today isn't a gripe at Obama, since they keep talking clear back to Carter and beyond. It is about the terrible debt and Bush did add more than his share.

I wish some of you people could have lowered yourselves enough to watch some Fox. Glenn Beck is now speaking to Texans in San Antonio and talking too much truth about this whole movement.

You're in the topmost echelon of C-D posters when it comes to arrogance, duke. The sad part is, I'll bet you're barely even old enough to vote. Try getting some life experience under your belt before you pretend to know everything.

Do you really not know the difference?!
Who gives a shat about Robert Gibbs? He's a puppet spin doctor paid to lie for the President.

You have been asleep the past 90+ days? You don't know that we have increased that debt at least $2 trillion in that period of time? Is it what you smoke all day or have you really been asleep.

Is this an increase or decrease in your taxes?
