Complete with interviews of protesters on how Obama is banning fishing, creating death camps for seniors, and how he's increased taxes for working Americans over 2009.

Am I the only one who thinks it's frickin' hilarious that the same people who are spouting American Revolution quotes are cheering to a Brit?
It's like not even she believed her own bullshit.
This is the most aggravating video I've ever seen on YouTube. I watched it the day it was originally posted, and just the thought of it has re-raised my blood pressure. I've got a bit of a sociological/anthropological interest, and something I've been thinking about in recent days it how I'd love to go down there and do an ethnography on these jokers.
I was actually thinking about secessionist groups in the south specifically, but these guys seem just as fascinating.

They're the least informed?

They're the douchiest.
(I think my assertion was very close to: "If you see people gathered during working hours carrying signs, it doesn't matter what they're protesting, what they're for, or what they're against... it means they're probably douchebags.")

With the exception of union workers, though.

No, with the very, very definite inclusion of union members.
Also, since this is the protest video thread, here's a video of the protests in Arizona.
Described as "largely peaceful" by NYT and CNN. Cause like the Obama Administration said, it's the TEABAGGERS that are going to cause violence just like Tim Mcveigh.

But the TeaBaggers are not being specifically discriminated against by its elected officials.

Which makes them more prone to violence? Unlike the "Largely peaceful" arizona protesters?

The Teabag protest themselves are not violent, it is their talk of Revolution that will spark violence.
The Hispanics in AZ are facing oppression. If you don't look or talk like a WASP, you will have to present your papers to the police.

Not to mention the Tea Baggers all want to be carrying guns with them wherever they go.

Which is a constitutional right.

The point is violence is ok, in favor of *their* issue, but not *their* issue. And even though *their* issue hasn't actually spawned any violence, they're scarier than those that have. Because the mainstream media tells you so.

No, the point is 60 people with guns are more likely to kill someone than 60 people without. You can twist it all you want, but fear of lethal force is a whole lot scarier than a bunch of nutty women in pink shirts.

And how many people have these people with guns hurt so far? I mean, these things have been going on for what, a year now?

It's the threat of violence and the lethal force they wield. You know that though. Pretend all you want, fear of crazies with guns is greater than fear of crazies without.

One would think that if they were really "crazies" there would have been at least ONE shooting, accidental or otherwise, over all this time. Or maybe it's just that their political views are so anathema that those who condone violence in favor of their OWN political allies and agendas that they get labeled "crazies."

I'm curious, though -- what kind of violent rhetoric are you talking about?

You're also ignoring that a building that didn't burn down doesn't make the evening news.
Sorry, I'm not going to spend an hour gathering video evidence of Tea Party speakers saying we should remove the president any way possible, the "tree of liberty" comments, and throwing money at a man with Parkinson's, only to have Gas come by and call it all irrelevant. Draw your own conclusions on what constitutes violent.
