Lol Boston Tea Party

I am watching this on Fox news and it is hilarious.

The Guy was spewing about facism and whatever other nonsense.

One of the signs says "Born Free, Taxed to Death"

You should just watch to see if there is any news on one of these because it's awesome.

You know, I probably wouldn't think this is so retarded if they weren't complaining about taxation so much.

I am listening to these two 15 year old kids right now talking about how he wants to pay less taxes and doesn't want to pay for other people.....

Also watching.  These "tea parties" make me want to laugh at their silliness, and cry for their lack of historical understanding.

Check out the craziness live on twitter. I've been having fun reading their comments.

I just got back from the tea party in Cincy... Looked to be about 6-7,000 people and 3 protestors... I stood next to them of course, and watched as every single media outlet in the area came over to interview them... Radio, paper and tv...

I thought not having representation at all was different from not having the representation you wanted because the people you voted for lost due to intense suckage.

That's not the point. The people holding "Impeach Bush" signs were not forming their protests and supposed plight off of a legendary movement that was a show against taxation without representation and then swearing up and down that their movements were the same. You did train to be a social sciences teacher, no?

Unless Obama sent big angry men to tie them all to chairs on election day, they all had the chance to vote, and like the person who is doing it or not, they do have elected representation.

Both the "Impeach Bush" people and the teabaggers are silly, but at least be historically accurate while being silly.

On a less related note, at some point, "Well people who didn't like Bush did it!" has to stop being an excuse to whine and pitch fits. Surely there is a statute of limitations or something.

I agree, the people who are doing this should forfeit their right to protest . . . after they have done so for exactly as long as the anti-Bush crowd did.

There's a lot of gray hair in that crowd.
