(26,626 posts)so I switched on Fox noise and, guess what, they're talking about the poor corporate fast food industry who will replace workers with robots if the minimum wage is hiked. If they don't know how to do it, Fox will show them.
but, nothing on the thousands in DC for the American Spring...what bullshit. Can people really be this stupid

(17,505 posts)Some nut...Linda? Rebecca? I can't remember her name.... she has an upside down American flag for an icon because, y'know, we're in distress Anyway she posted:
"This restores my faith in America, Patriots! We have awakened a sleeping giant." (Does she think she's the Japanese who attack Pearl Harbor?)
Anyway I had to post:
""This restores my faith in America" Mine too! To see that Teabaggers are the same small minority they were when Obama was elected....twice."

(7,549 posts)aren't racist because the President is black and white not just black? The pure stupidity and lack of self awareness in these asses is astounding and frankly a bit disturbing.
They deny and justify their hateful words and actions which are so demonstrably racist,and truly still expect people to believe they aren't racist just because they say they aren't.

(4,742 posts)I used to work in talk radio. The station I worked for made a lot of money but we still had old, outdated equipment. But holy shit. This dude is just using his cell phone to take talk-radio type calls and puts them on speaker phone. You can hear the BEEEP when others are trying to call in while someone is on the phone. LOLOLOLOL.
Not only that most of the calls youc an't hear or people just hang up. Fucking ridiculous. We should all call and fart into the phone.

I'm an English teacher, so when I read, my mind is mentally correcting--especially now, at the end of the semester.
I'm not getting paid for this, so I had to abandon reading comments.

(86,650 posts)if this clown in the crate with the cell phone and laptop camera shot has a clue that being so close to the government complex there must be about five agencies watching, monitoring and laughing their asses off.
I wonder is the POTUS is watching and eating popcorn.

(15,882 posts)seems ironic in more than one way...).
But we are in trouble. The caller said there seemed to be nothing the people could do, 300 million +, when will they wake up, etc, and this Mark Guy...
<host> "Sir, have you ever played chess?"
<silence>
<host>"Sir, have you ever played the game of chess?"
<caller> "Yes, well.."
<host>"So this is like chess, some moves take a month, and some take a long time..."
OMG! He knows about chess.
That has been kinda like our WMD (Weapon for Many Democrats) when low expectations seem to be fulfilled, the answer seems to often be "you don't understand, it's like chess".
I don't know if he bugged the White House, or just exactly how he found out, but with everyone holding the secrets of "chess", now both parties can use it against detractors, even against their own.
And as with all powerful weapons, the only defense is Mutual Assured Destruction, which is, of course, no defense at all.
I fear for our future.

(81,323 posts)Glad you're here! Amazing, isn't it? I liked the comment upthread by libodem - how this just shows you can't manufacture a groundswell. I saw another post somewhere that observed - this is what you get when you live exclusively in the Pox Noise bubble. "Astroturf does not equal grassroots."

(16,399 posts)So the live stream now consists of a guy with a handheld running up to random cops going "Don't shoot!" and muttering "fascists" under their breath while some guy on a bullhorn yells things that sound vaguely like the Illinois Nazi Party rally from the Blues Brothers.

(20,234 posts)I watched a bit of the live action coverage.
There was a guy with a hari krishna haircut and crazy eyes holding a bag of coffee up to the camera and squishing it, telling us it was so we could smell how great the coffee was. He went on a bit about snickerdoodles.
Then he implored us to post on facebook because the whole country needs to see what's going on.
Do we have a massive problem with Americans not consuming enough coffee and snickerdoodles? Is that what they're upset about?

I could be wrong, but mullets were popular in the mid-80s around St. Louis in Missouri, too.
He probably just showed up to give out the rest of his "Obama Is Coming After Your Guns" bumper stickers that he couldn't distribute back in 2012 because he ordered too many from the NRA.

(535 posts)The guy in the RV is on a conspiracy high suggesting the reason there are no live feeds are due to the fact the WH is blocking the transmissions. His caller is saying he got 100s of death threats and his house was blown up due to his views and inventions. Tin foil crew!
