Poet and activist Josh Healey performs his poem, “Dear Sarah Palin,” at the April 16, 2011 counter-protest to Sarah Palin’s Tea Party rally in labor’s rebel heartland — Madison, Wisconsin. The rally was organized by the Wisconsin Wave, and drew thousands of people on the Capitol steps. On the other side of the Capitol, Sarah and her tea partiers were being outnumbered 10:1 by the pro-labor, progressive movement. This one’s for you, Sarah.

For more info, go to FrankStrategiesBlog.com A liberal version of the popular Tea Party movement stages an epic fail in Washington, DC, on April 11, 2009. The group’s website claimed more that 400 people would attend, but only about a dozen lonely souls showed up. Turnout was so bad that one of the organizers tried to claim that DC rallies “always set the record for low turnout.” Guess that guy’s never heard of the March on Washington. Or the Million Man March. Or this week’s Taxpayer Tea Party on April 15. Also of note was a claim by liberal blogger Jane Hamsher that the real Tea Parties are “financed by Fox News” and that the movement is “just a bunch of people on the conservative end who are pissed off that they’re not the ones stealing right now.” Whatever that means. Of course, when I asked her about her comments afterward, she refused to answer and walked away. To see how this rally compared to the real Taxpayer Tea Party on April 15, click here: www.youtube.com
@mrfrednoname you didnt read the article I take it.
@twizelby And that changes them being right about the healthcare bill how??
@mrfrednoname that isnt what we are arguing about. My point is is that fox news not only gives you a bias (which is entirely fine because there is an MSNBC) but it gives you half truths. have you ever seen them quote something in order to smear it? seriously next ime they do go look up whatever they are talking about and read the whole thing. they lead guests into saying things that are just plain rumor and the audience eats it up. this way they can say the guest said it not themselves.
@twizelby That would involve way too much thinking.
@WiseGuy5674 the books of Chalmers Johnson (blowback is a good start) Iraq for sale(you can watch it on youtube) watch the southern avengers video “where wright wasnt wrong” (its in my favorites section) read anything by Micheal Scheuer and lastly look at any sociological report on terrorism.
@WiseGuy5674 I hate that people dont listen or read about previous occurences that make middle eastern countries hate us more. I hate that nobody knows or cares about govt sanctions that kill thousands of people, I hate that predetor drones blow up hospitals because of bad intel I hate that troops come back with PTSD and end up in prison because they saw heinous shit go down in other countries. If you really want to know why I think these things do me a huge favor and read/ watch the following.
@WiseGuy5674 I dont hate the military its a necesarry branch of the government. I hate the misuse of the military yea of course I do. I hate that the government tells the people that these wars are humanatarian wars like they told us Libya was. I hate that my money is being spent on wars I dont agree with, and no matter which politician I vote for they raise taxes to fund those wars. I hate that we spend more on military then every other country combined.
@twizelby …You must be a blast at parties…I’ll bet good cash that people avoid you like the plague!..LOL!…You’re a wannabe activist without a clue, anybody with half a brain can see that…You hate the military, you’ve made that perfectly clear to everyone. Point 1: Iraq declared war on the west, and the west responded. For 12 years Saddam thumbed his nose at the US and violated the rules of surrender: 9/11 called in all the chips. Tell me again why we are bombing Libya? Please moron?
@twizelby liberal pollsters get desired result… whats new about that? Almost everything the tea party said about the healthcare bill is turning out to be true. People forced from coverage. Massive increase in defict etc etc….
@WiseGuy5674 yeah you called me a moron. in order to actually call me out for being a moron you have to find a flaw in my logic. right now all you are doing is slinging mud. you know the saddest part is that you haven’t even looked at my channel and seen that I mostly support a mix of ideas from Ron Paul to liberal abortion rights to gun rights to health care, ending the IRS, decreasing tax cuts.. instead of being a neocon fox news sheep, I tend to think for myself. yer a troll, bye.
@mrfrednoname I cant copy and paste the URL into the comment box so I wont. those are just a couple. happy reading!

@twizelby …Na…Its just that conversing with a soft-as-dog-shit liberal can be hilarious. Close the lib play book and have a cupcake, Mary. BTW, I never mentioned ‘ideas’…I called you out for being a moron. There IS a difference. lol!
@twizelby Sure this should be good fore a laugh
@mrfrednoname no im right. do you want to see the polls?
@WiseGuy5674 notice that your arguments are now becoming straw man arguments. its because you cant logically back any of your ideas.
@twizelby if it was the revolution,the civil war,or WWII you better believe I would be there but dont think just because Im not going to serve means that I didnt give it some serious thought.
@WiseGuy5674 to much of a pussy to serve my country? no Im to fuckin smart to believe that any of the wars we are in are useful in any way. btw most of the military men if you ask them in surveys will say that they are doing it for money, college or prestige so don’t act like yer all high and mighty because you served in some meaningless war. in fact the way you tried to rub this in my face makes me think you joined so you could get some respect bcause u are 2 dumb to make it through school
@twizelby ….LOL!….Soft as a bag of dog shit…..Fail no.2…going for thirds?!…Something tells me that you are too much of a pussy to serve your country…even though they rescinded “don’t ask, don’t tell”…What a cunt boy!
@WiseGuy5674 and by the way republicans are putting political pressure to enter Libya and no we dont need to be in Yemen. The last war that has made even a shred of sense was WWII. Keep on supporting the military industrial complex! congratulations you useless piece of shit, your a pawn.
@WiseGuy5674 if we do go into Libya it will be for the same ostensible reasons that republicans sent us into Iraq for, but because yer so brainwashed by fox news you cant see disagree with your party. so keep on ridin the party line dick train! and another thing if we didnt want maniacs to have WMD’s why don’t we invade Korea? you dont understand shit about shit so LOL FAIL! suck my dick you ill informed patsy.
