This HAS to be reported.

[kentuck]

Those "snake people" and Tea Party riff-raff were involved in a near-riot with Washington, DC police today. They had the police backed up against the fence and it nearly turned violent. Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin spoke to the people before they marched toward the White House. This really needs to cease immediately. The media needs to report it and report it accurately. America needs to see what we are dealing with.

1. No kidding! This is getting very dangerous

these fucking tea party assholes have no repsect for any person or insitituion.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

2. If they were a group of black or brown folks, it'd be top story on all the networks. :(

[BlancheSplanchnik]

22. exactly. or "left wing hippie peace freak liberals"

Our media, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Corporate-Theocratic aristocracy, swallowed by angry dumbfucks, kkkristian control freaks and sociopathic ayn rand acolytes.

[Cleita]

3. Yet I watched news and programs on cable news channels until

2:00 pm PDT and there was not a word said. I had to come here and read about it. Our media truly sucks even the ones that are supposedly unbiased.

[Brigid]

9. We can only hope . . .

That Big Ed, Reverend Al, and Rachel will report on it next week.

[Cleita]

13. Somebody should be reporting on it when it happens

like CNN used to when Ted Turner ran it. I appreciate the work Ed, Al and Rachel do but they can't be holding all the water all the time.

[Lordquinton]

31. At least this issue is better under-reported

than hyped up as some big revolutionary stick-it-to-the-man event like the teabaggers usually get.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

4. It's over. They left. Don't feed it oxygen.

[Voice for Peace]

35. ++ exactly. don't feed it. media ignoring it? good.

[we can do it]

5. Did you check out the idiotic comments?

[Squinch]

6. The comments section on that is very disturbing.

[Cleita]

14. Seems like the comments were removed or I couldn't access them anyway. eom

[Buddaman]

15. Yes it is...

Look's like the freepers for sure.....Dipshits!!!

[yuiyoshida]

37. Its very sad...that people are so blind by their Rascist views that

They blame the shut down on the President... when its the House that needs to be chastised. So, was Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz going to be stupid enough to rush the Gates of the White House? I didn't see any Tea baggers lugging weapons.. That would have been a big mistake on their part... The Secret Service would have no qualms for taking out anyone who tried to breach Security.

[awoke_in_2003]

41. They weren't lugging weapons this time...

these people are a bit scary, IMO

[TwilightGardener]

7. Gotta hand it to Cruz and Palin. They read the polls that Americans blamed Repubs

in Congress for the shutdown, so they got a cadre of teabaggers (some may have been actual vets) to march to the WHITE HOUSE instead of the Capitol building. Literally directing their anger toward the President for Cruz's shutdown.

[Brigid]

8. I think we all know . . .

What would have happened if those of us on the left had pulled a stunt like this.

[randome]

10. We also know what would have happened if the Left was perceived as 'cracking down' on the TP.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

[kentuck]

12. Pure intimidation..

and fear tactics work very well.

[BlueToTheBone]

11. What happened to the riot squads and the helmeted riot police?

Where are the paddy wagons to haul away the failures to disperse?

[LAGC]

20. I think we both know the answer to that question.

The cops don't work for the 99%. They work for the 1%.

[BlueToTheBone]

27. and those ugly slobby things are the 1%

Yikes! I'm glad I'm not one of them.

[awoke_in_2003]

42. No, but they were "demonstrating"...

for he 1%. They are too stupid to see what tools they are.

[BlueToTheBone]

47. True sad sacks of flesh. nt

[Historic NY]

[Skidmore]

17. ABC reported only that these were upset veterans and showed them

shouting "You work for us" while jabbing fingers in the direction of the WH. They did not report that Cruz and Palin were present. The only redeeming thing about the report was that the "crowd" size appeared to be small. Also, they showed none of the Confederate flags on display seen here in photos on DU.

[Kablooie]

18. Oh boy, here we go!

They want to start a violent revolution to validate their assertions that the current administration is a Nazi like dictator.
The fact that they start it will be completely ignored by their news services.

And all the survivalist and gun nuts that have been stocking up on ammo will explode like hellfire against all legal authority.

We may have an actual violent civil war on our hands again soon.

Shit.

[IrishAyes]

28. They may get more than they bargained for.

And if real civil war does break out, it won't last as long as the first one.

[awoke_in_2003]

43. I said upthread that they weren't armed this time...

they got away with disassembling barricades- not one arrest. They will only get bolder.

[Blue_Tires]

45. Nah, they just want to *pretend* to start some kind of rebellion

these people have always been rich in meaningless talk, and poor in testicular fortitude...

They also grossly underestimate how many common citizens (like myself) would oppose them...

[Ilsa]

24. Unfortunately, that's probably true.

They are too ignorant or extreme in their positions to be educated and live with the truth.

[nolabear]

26. No! No massacring, no injuring, no violence! It's horrible to encourage that!

I hate everything they're doing, but that isn't taking America anywhere but straight to hell.

Shame.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

29. You are a sick, disgusting person.

[Gman]

21. They're slowly getting more and more brazen

And I think if they keep it up it will get violent and will get bloody, just like OWS because even they threaten the big money.

[BobbyBoring]

23. That's the problem

They don't threaten the big money. They enable it. Occupy went up against the real power and was dealt with swiftly. These fucks go after the perceived power and are allowed to continue.

[nolabear]

25. I put it on my FB feed. And saw it on the news. It'll be on tomorrow, you can bet.

[blkmusclmachine]

30. Image if Occupy did that.

On second thought, DON'T

[Turbineguy]

32. What was interesting was the number of people with obviously good, expensive cameras

in the front snapping away at the police. What was their interest in all this?

[jtuck004]

33. "America needs to see what we are dealing with." What makes you think a large number of

viewers won't cheer them on?

Maybe not being reported widely is a good thing.

[graywarrior]

34. Palin is a POS

[Rex]

36. No doubt the cops were macing the shit out of them.

Oh wait...that's only at OWS rallies.

[NuclearDem]

38. It's alright, the cops had orders not to hurt the useful idiots.

They've got to save the tear gas, riot gear, and rubber bullets for a peace rally or Occupy march.

[Auntie Bush]

39. The main problem is the Media are big corporations and side with ReThugs.

They only criticize Dems...not republicans as they want them to win the election. MSNBC is the only channel that favors Democrats. All the others are pro Rethug. CNN tries to seem neutral by saying everyone on both sides do it...it's never the Rethug's fault.

[toddwv]

40. "Snake Party"

I like that. Thanks.

[awoke_in_2003]

44. Those asshats...

ruined a great historical flag.

[NuclearDem]

46. Great flag saved!
