“protesters” vs. “angry mobs of angry teabaggers”

G20 Summit – Pittsburgh
“Demonstrators, protesters and activists”, just “trying to get their voices heard”:
Just trying to get their voices heard by trashing businesses, throwing rocks, rolling trash bins…
“The clashes began after several hundred protesters, many advocating against capitalism, tried to march from an outlying neighborhood toward the convention center where the summit is being held.”
Tea Parties
Angry mobs of racist, gun toting, Nazi loving, astro-turf, extremist, redneck teabaggers who just want to see you die:
Zero arrests, no trash left laying around, peaceful protests. (Check out all the great signs here.)
Interesting how the two events are portrayed by msnbc, no?

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
The protesters look young, aren’t they the ones that were supporting BO during the elections.
They forgot to hold hands and sing…mmm.mmm.mmmmm.:)
Lol…..Sounds like a Campbell’s Soup commercial.
ROTFLMAO – good one, Katmoon!
THANK YOU, AGII, for pointing out the huge difference between these two protests. They were like night and day – never mind that the march on Washington was far, far bigger, yet NO arrests. And no litter, either, I might add.
Very telling.
Was that written by Caroline? uh, uh, uh.
I doubt that these ninja nihilists who voted for Obama have figured out that Obama is the very thing they are protesting against now, namely world government. They have no ability to connect the dots. Had they done so they would have voted for Hillary.
but..but… Obama’s so COOOOL. he looks like Will Smith in “Men in Black….” doesn’t that make him a good president??? heh heh.
So true, wobbie! When that realization hits (that “Obama is the very thing they are protesting against”), it will feel like a bat crushing in their little ninja heads.
In his g20 exit presser the Prez said it was a very peaceful G20 compared to London, Seattle and other venues of the past. Pretty quiet in fact.
BSNBC is clearly terrified of people taking time off work to protest. Or maybe they are just really scared of tea. Or like saying teabagging. Or crowds that clean up trash after themselves. I really cannot tell. But its all very scary to Andersen Cooper and Rachel Maddow.
When the usual suspects show up to tear up the G20 it with tearGAS (not bags, bags are scary) its far less terrifying. They get it, its just those crazy kits acting up. Nothing to worry about.
Thanks American Girl!
Yeah, all those seniors, with their canes and walkers, were a nasty bunch!
They are going back into training, in order to ratchet up the pressure!
Wait until you see their jitterbug!
And those oxygen bottles they’re waltzing around on those wheelie thingies look pretty dangerous to me . . .
Hell’s Grannies (Monty Python reference).
Funny Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow were all for protests under GWB. Now they are a bad thing. I’ve heard reports from those who were there.
Violence always seems to break out when certain groups show up. I’ve been watching protests for decades. I’ve protested. What a better way to shut up those with real grievances than have violence erupt.
Remember, the only violence at the Tea Parties was done by Obama supporters. But you wouldn’t know that if you watched the MSM.
I love how MSNBC says the (obvious) plan of the “Protesters” is to “disrupt” the meeting.
Isn’t that the capital crime of Americans who attended the Townhalls?
I’m telling you, Pittburghians have pride and if these idiots trashed Pitt, like it looks…and if they did it from the nearby neighborhoods on the way to down=town, that’s private, small, local, Mom and Pop businesses they just caused major loss to. Places that my Grandma used to shop at decades ago.
Nice. (snark) They sure aren’t helping their cause.
And yes, I noticed how…”they’re just trying to get their voices heard…and it’s only hundreds, not thousands….” Really? Lets not try to protect the radicals on the left, huh?
HELP, Let me out!!! I’m stuck in the spam filter with those angry militant radical protesters….that just want their voice heard (shhh)
And one of those angry ones (see below) got out, but I’m still there!!!!
I’m free, free at last.
Thank you!
The teabaggers were protesting to maintain their power and position. The anarchists were protesting to eliminate those powers and positions. I’m not surprised that they behave differently.
WHAT? Do you have any clue? First of all, if you mean your “teabaggers” “wanting to keep their power” If you mean people power, yes, then your odd way of saying it is correct. So, therefore you see why the rest of your comment makes no sense. Oh, and gee, it’s ok to destroy, hurt personal damage, because they’re different? lmao
Are you kidding me? You obviously have no clue what has been happening in this country. The 9/12 marchers are people who love this country and truly want their voices heard. They opposed TARP and all the bailouts (most of America did), but Congress did it anyway. The opposed the stimulus boondoggle but Congress did that as well. They opposed the nonsense and economic destruction that is cap and trade, but the house did it anyway. They opposed the bailouts of GM and Chrysler, but Obama took control of them anway. And now they oppose the massive government power grab that is Obamacare.
I’m not an Obama supporter. I support the teabaggers. I have skin and kin in the military. Assumptions are tricky things, like raw nerves.
I think you were way off base to characterize 9/12 marchers, tea party protesters and town hall protesters as people who are trying to “maintain their power and position.” WE are people who feel we have been disenfranchised by an out-of-control government – and WE are taxpayers who are being forced to subsidize all of the CRAP that Washington is trying to cram down our throats.
Behave differently?
Like the patriots want to work and provide for themselves & families without government interference and the others just want to open their hands for freebies & take take take?
That’s behaving differently OK!
The

One person’s protest is another’s disruption of the status quo. Depends upon which side of the fence you find your main grievances…and attitudes float. Tis no wonder we are confused. We stay that way because we are dumbed down and misinformed. A little knowledge is dangerous; a little lack of facts equals the same nonanswers.
Single payer today, single payer tomorrow and single payer forever! (That takes care of that proposition.)
Now as far as the G-20 unfurling the New World Order and its new “president of the world,” Barack H. Obama (and if you’ve done your homework, you know it is unconstitutional for O’Bambi to accept a seat on
the UN Security Council), well that is reason enough to bitch and moan. A little stroll up the street seems harmless enough.
The Pittsburgh summit may have been carried off more quietly than many because the federalized police/storm troopers were on high alert with those
menacing full-assault wagons skulking around residential neighborhoods warning nonrioting citizens that the force of the draconian PA
PATRIOT ACT was in play and zero tolerance was order
du jour. The city was closed down so that the very rich could enjoy some semblance of security.
Not to mention military-equipped units at the ready to use sound cannons that can damage eardrums, pepper spray and/or tear gas that damages eyes and
propelled “bean bag” bullets that can kill from close
range when fired at vulnerable spots–such as the head.
All methods to repress free speech were deployed in Pittsburgh, PA. The so called anarchists
did their usual bit of mayhem for the MS news cameras. Those provocateurs are usually paid operatives or sometimes taken from the police ranks
just for the sake of stagecraft.
Welcome to the world the banksters envision. And they are just getting tuned up. As long as they own and control the media, truth will be marginalized.
“The city was closed down so that the very rich could enjoy some semblance of security.” My thoughts exactly, all the fat cats of the world under one roof talking shyte that will affect us whether we like or not….and we have no voice in it nor out of it.
Good comments, but I differ on the anarchists. They were never Obama supporters as alluded to up thread, nor do they believe that the fats have the answers. It’s the same crap with some new faces discussing the same crap at every conference and nothing gets done. But it gives the fats a chance to mingle, drink and eat real swell at the expense of taxpayers.
Breaking windows of business’s is free speech? Must be political theater. The thugs aren’t anarchists just sociopaths who get their jollies (read sexual gratification) from trashing other people’s work.
OKAy, it’s Friday night, I am 4 teqiluas deep,
( Mmm Mmm maragaitas)And the situation still sounds massively fu@k-ed up to me……. What the hell is in that kool-aid!
MSM tried so hard to downplay this march. Just looking at that scan of the crowd, the mall is filled to overflowing. I’ve seen several analysis using U.S. National Park Service data – and the crowd compared in size to the LBJ inauguration, which was 1.2 million. Of course, MSM would “never” admit that.
AGI, thanks for the Pictures at an Exhibiton and the stark contrast.
It is devolved to calling any valid momentum a “somthing-ers,a nd when it comes the anual G20 anarchists convention… all is well.
What a way to spend scarce resources having the practicing level one security exercises on the American people. UM.
Yep, just checked in with Pittsburgh. The “protesters” (it looked like it in the top video) were causing their mayhem and damage in Lawrenceville, local & small businesses. Lawrenceville is a small town over the river from where I grew up…then you pass through “the Strip”, local, small, family and Mom and Pop businesses before reaching downtown.
So they hurt the very people they supposedly were protesting in favor of? RIGHT. And they were planning this for months, huh?
The

Theanarchistsblackberry marxists were protestingto eliminate those powers and positionsbecause they’re 18-24 year old suburban kids who are fresh out of their parents nest, who have maybe read four or five adbusters magazines (gasp), think they look good wearing black unitards and rockclimbers helmets (enabled in that opinion by attention from all the paparazzi-media cameras.They certainly would have perfered that they’re numbers in the hundreds had matched the million+ of the
teabaggerstaxpaying middle-class-majority citizens.Funny how this rinky-dink protest of skinny tweens ten-deep got more leftstream press coverage than a million+ crowded into the washington mall. I guess tear gas always sensationalizes things just enough to warrant a good wolfie blitzer appearance, though their reason for agitating always gets lost in translation. The black block aren’t anarchists, really. Quite the opposite. They just want their nanny state obamacare and they want it now.
“blackberry marxist” — LOL!
I know. Blackberry Maxist is pretty LOL, ne cest pas?
I made that one up because I have a 25y/o friend who comes from a rich family who is a total Marxist and who is on his swanky blackberry 24/7, trying to start a Soviet-style revolution.
And I’m like: dude, you know, don’t you, that that blackberry would have never come into existence without the hypercompetitive atmosphere of innovation and counter-innovation that only the free market can provide.
He never listens.
They never do, may he be subject to a cheap $9.99 pay as you go for target when the money runs out!
for = from
Good job on the second half of that comparision, alrighte, I was at a loss to translate it. LOL
“they’re numbers in the hundreds” =
…their numbers in the hundreds
oops. hate when i do that. it’s rare. but…still..
perhaps our next tea party should be on april 15th. no taxation without representation. if they shove this obamacare thru against the wishes of the american people ,we should all refuse to buy it. they cant fine everyone. same goes for income taxes.
Loons on the right, loons on the left, and those in the middle pretty much ignored…
