Tax Payer Protests: Seattle? Denver?

[Sky Dancer]

The economy that the new adminstration inherited is a nightmare. That there will be a huge groundswell of anti-tax anti-government acitivism is a pipe dream. I don't know what you're smoking.

Nonetheless, we will pull out of this. We will do it with a bi-partisan effort.

Where are all those 'patriots' who respect the three branches of government?

Check out the 5/50, not so sure, not with what the current administration is implementing faster than can be comprehended.

C'mon Annie. You're a conservative ideologue. No matter what this adminstration does you'll criticise it.

C'mon SD, you really haven't read any of my posts prior to the current administration to know my political ideologies. You can interpret however you like, but like RS you're bringing little to the table other than your interpretations, wrong though they be.

Looks like the White House isn't too comfortable with talk of revolt:

Rant by CNBC's Rick Santelli puts pundit at odds with Obama administration

February 22, 2009

...The trick will be for Rick the Commentator to not become Joe the Plumber, exhausting the interest of even those who support him. But the fact that White House press secretary Robert Gibbs came down hard on Santelli when the subject came up at Friday's briefing speaks to the traction the so-called Rick's Revolt could gain.

"It's tremendously important … for people who rant on cable television to be responsible and understand what it is they're talking about," Gibbs said. "I feel assured that Mr. Santelli doesn't know what he's talking about."

Gibbs invited Santelli to read the administration's plan, even offering to pop for coffee—decaf. Santelli would later respond that he prefers tea. This is a photo op so vivid it's not necessary for anyone to actually show up for the cameras for us all to see it.

Santelli, who at one point Thursday made a comparison to communist Cuba, is invoking the American ideal of individualism.

"Maybe I could have chosen some words better, but I think at the end of the day, what this boils down to is you have to treat everybody fairly," he said the next day on NBC's "Today."

The Obama administration is invoking the American ideal that says united we stand and divided we fall.

The common ground is that everyone agrees the housing market and economy are a mess, people are hurting and no one knows how it will turn out, which means there's territory for a budding pundit to claim as his own.

they sure are not in government!!

Okay? How many people showed up? I didn't see a number. (Just wondering)

60-100. Considering they were conservatives, that's alot. I imagine it was because of President's Day.

Yeah... most of the conservatives are busy working when protests are going on that's why their numbers are few... plus most have families and would rather spend time with them instead of time on a street or in front of a building holding a sign or chanting some dumb slogan... especially since these protests don't do anything..

They do work if done correctly. The obama team pulled everyone out of the gutter to vote.

750-850 yesterday in Kansas!?! Indeed. People are mad and frightened for their children's future.

Michelle Malkin » From the Boston Tea Party to your neighborhood pork protest

Links and more pictures at site:

In Schmucky Schumer’s world, these American taxpayers don’t exist. A big crowd of them gathered in Seattle this afternoon to raise their voices in opposition to the trillion-dollar, pork-filled Generational Theft Act of 2009 — which will be signed into law by the blind President “There are no no earmarks” Obama. Thanks to Zac Petersen for the photos. It took just one person — blogger Liberty Belle — to get the ball rolling. She writes: “Make no mistake, the President will be signing that bill tomorrow, I have no illusions that he will actually listen to us. BUT, maybe, just maybe we can start a movement that will snowball across the nation and get people out of their homes, meeting each other and working together to redirect this country towards its truly radical founding principles of individual liberty and freedom. Maybe people will wake up slowly at first, and then quickly when they realize the urgency needed.”
A few more pics from Seattle blogger Snark Patrol here.
And more from American Typo, including this one:

The movement continues in Denver tomorrow. Colorado Americans for Prosperity is organizing a protest countering President Obama’s visit to the city to sign the porkulus legislation at an exclusive, invitation-only event at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in City Park. Protesters will gather at the west steps of the Capitol (Lincoln Street, between 14th and Colfax) from 11:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mountain time....

Looks like Nashville and NYC are trying to get something going too!

I think there's about 30 "protesters" in that pic. Denver has 2 million people.

Over 400 in Denver, earlier this week. As I said, over 700 in Kansas, yesterday. Obama will run into a shitstorm if he doesn't address the growing reaction to his Chicago Way of pushing things through. The country is NOT Chicago, and he's no Mayor Daley.

Okey-dokey!

400 people, probably including the kids they dragged along. Impressive! When the left protests something important, like the iraq war or the WTO they put tens of thousands on the street.

Don't get to psyched annie. The rightwing is never into protesting in large numbers, unless its about abortion. the rightwing is too old, white, and conservative to take it to the streets

I drive yet another bush-supporting wingnut into a unfathomable rage.

Note that wingnut boy can't refute my contention: Cons don't really protest about anything, except abortion and embryos. Mission accomplished. My work here is done.

Ravi, whoops, Red Dawn, (some of you ijits sound alike to me after awhile, sorry), I'm not one to get riled up too easily. I've seen times of protests and times of calm. Watched your type froth at the mouth for years, now frothing that anyone disagrees.

Unless there are changes to this new package of sack the successful, change will come. It probably will not be what either of us have in mind. There are warnings already being sent to those who might challenge:

More than 500 protest Obama's arrival

Hundreds protest President Barack Obama's visit to Dobson High School on Wednesday.
Tim Hacker, Tribune

The presidential motorcade rolls down Guadalupe Road.
Thomas Boggan, Tribune
Presidential protestors made their voices heard in chants and signs Wednesday outside Dobson High School.

Catholics pray for Obama at vigil

The protestors, about 500 to 600 strong and growing, began arriving as ticket-holders walked in.

Mesa police set up a protest area along Guadalupe Road.

They held their signs up high: "Don't tread on me," "Spend all you want, I'll pick up the tab," "I'll keep my freedom! You keep the change!" "Free fertility drugs now." And "B.O. smells and so does Socialism."

A Gilbert woman, with a sign that said, "Fund bikini wax now," said she is entitled to the beauty treatment....

500-600? That's all you guys can muster?

Tens of millions of people have protested Bush in the past.
