I was leery of all the Fox hosts putting their weight behind this event.  I now think that they are trying to polarize the population to keep the left and right infighting so congress can continue to do whatever it wants.  I am pleased to say that this event was not an Obama bashing event and most everyone agreed this in a bipartisan issue.

5 minutes of waisted time and waisted space.

These future politicians are making no difference.

Where were they for 8 years?

and there's this!
"Fair and balanced" Fox News is anything but in coverage of tea parties

Culture of Conservative Paranoia Running Rampant on Fox News

Meantime, Boss Limbaugh expresses sympathy for pirates, Texas Gov. wants to secede, and the movement builds for progressive taxation.

While foreclosures are %46 higher now than last year at this time and the number of people getting jobless benefits topped 6 million for the first time last week.

Just a tip:

If you want to be taken seriously, don't lead with a minute of Paul Tay. 

I notice the attention whore from Owasso was featured as well.

I saw Tay at the rally at the courthouse trying to get people to sign a petition. He was not well received.

Were you one of those anti-protesters at LaFortune shouting from behind the yellow tape and pushing the troofer stuff?

Paul Tay did a great intro that is why I used it.  You people here at Tulsanow love Tay anyway.

I was at the protest down town but did not make it to the la fortune park.  I did know the people at la fortune that were stuffed into a "free speech zone".  Let me see here Free Speech Zone, United States of America home of the free, land of the brave.... Those two just don't mix.

Wait, I'm confused.  Was this a pro-tea, or anti-tea demonstration?

I think that Johnny's Hamburgers had the best iced tea in town.  But they've closed their 51st and Harvard location...

I like camomile tea all right, but I'm not passionate enough to go to a demonstration one way or the other...

Republicans must have strong opinions about tea.

I wonder what would happen if they took the Pepsi Challenge?!

FBI Arrests Oklahoma Teabagger For Twitter Threats
Quote
An Oklahoma City man who announced on Twitter that he would turn an April 15 tax protest into a bloodbath was hit with a federal charge of making interstate threats last week, in what appears to be first criminal prosecution to stem from posts on the microblogging site.
Daniel Knight Hayden, 52, was arrested by FBI agents who identified him as the Twitter user CitizenQuasar. In a series of tweets beginning April 11, CitizenQuasar vowed to start a "war" against the government on the steps of the Oklahoma City Capitol building, the site of that city's version of the national "Tea Party" protests promoted by the conservative-leaning Fox News.
"START THE KILLING NOW! I am willing to be the FIRST DEATH!," read a tweet at 8:01 PM that day. "After I am killed on the Capitol Steps, like a REAL man, the rest of you will REMEMBER ME!!!," he added five minutes later. Then: "Send the cops around. I will cut their heads off the heads and throw the[m] on the State Capitol steps."
