of course being hardcore extremist leftist is perfectly ok. and we all know there are noooooooooo racist in the Democrat party Sarcasm

That's not his point, and you assume that he actually thinks the Democrats have it right, too. All he said was that the sane protesters were overshadowed by the radical idiots because that's what the media focuses on. Of course, you weren't going to ever realize this because you still think everybody who doesn't agree with the right-wing is out to get the right-wing.


News flash, cheesesoda. Libritarians like you were the minority at these events. The majority were butthurt republican asshats who don't handle defeat very well. Sometimes I wonder what you would do if you didn't have your media to blame things on.


so those who protested bush when he was in office were they asshats as well?



Of course not. They were actually protesting SOMETHING (Like a preemptive war), and waited for Bush to actually do something wrong. Obama hasn't been in office 100 days yet. He hasn't raised or lowered anyone's taxes (yet), in fact all he's done so far with regard to taxes is lower payroll tax. And once large-scale tax policy changes to occur in his administration, a huge majority of Americans are getting lower taxes instead of higher taxes. Whoever that CNN reporter is should be dismissive.

The real issue isn't that people are sick of taxes--Only true badasses like cheesesoda who hate everything are upset. The problem here is the republican party doesn't handle defeat well, and they're using any excuse they can get to throw a temper tantrum. Turn on Fox News at any time of day and chances are you'll see some bullshit report about things nobody cares about like "Obama going on Xth week without attending church", or about how he shook Hugo Chavez's hand and pretending it's some kind of diplomatic faux-pax, while ignoring Bush giving German leaders what amounts to an unsolicitated backrub. It's so partisan I want to puke.

And these same asshats who find "Obama's" spending (I've heard the term "Obama's TARP" said many times, regardless of TARP being a Bush-era program) sooo outrageous turned a blind eye to the cost of the war in Iraq and a barrage of "stimulus packages" under Bush which were ineffective at best and a total waste at worst. It's as if excessive spending is only a bad thing if a democrat does it. It's like everyone just came out of a coma two months ago.

And again, let me point out that during the protests under the Bush administration, the reaction to protesters was something to the tune of

"Why do you hate America?" "Love it or leave it!" "Get out of my country!" "Majority rules!" etc etc.
, so why is this batch of butthurt protesters expecting anything different?
