1. She seems to have a problem with Obama's plan...
to impose a 23% tax on all coin-bank cashouts.

33. How many of her classmates won't be sent off to a vanity war in Iraq because of Obama?
We never get to count the problems good policy prevents. How many family homes in her neighborhood are going to be saved by getting out from under flexible interest loans? What health scares will she not be exposed to because we'll once again have an EPA that's willing to do its job?

14. Um... that word was "sexualized" long before the freeps started all this
Sorry, but when you choose a theme for your protest, it's best to make sure you aren't painting a target on your dumb ass. They painted the target, now, shooting fish in a barrel.

21. And the Democrats push the sexualized version and laugh. The
joke is on the petty Democrats who think it is funny.

42. No. Anyone who actually gets the joke knows that it's on the freeps.
We aren't painting a target on ourselves for simply showing how incredibly stupid they are. And yes, it's INCREDIBLY funny.

I've heard that the Obamas fist each other on a weekly, if not more frequent basis. At least that's what some Fox News love guru told me.

36. Yes, but it's an inappropriate joke to make with regard to a minor.
Context matters. I am happy to laugh at adult teabaggers but the use of the joke in this particular thread was rather offensive.

29. What issues? What REAL issues are being discussed today?
Protesting high taxes the month after Obama's tax cuts go into effect? Protesting the bailouts of the finance industry, after Bushco led way in handing out billions with NO accountability?

There ARE no issues to debate - so we have a little fun at the stupid's expense.

30. as I said, high taxes for the protesters is just one of many issues. the
bailouts and ensuing debt seems to be the biggest from what I have read.

32. They are not interested in issues. Did they protest the bailouts that
Bush signed off on? Did the protest the deficits incurred by waging two unnecessary wars?

It is a sham and a fraud - just as THEY are frauds.

55. Why are you here
You have to recognize what caused the problems to be able to deal with them. Obama did not create this mess, he inherited it and is dealing with it.

Tell me, do you think the appropriate thing would be to allow all the banks and the finance companies and the large corps fail?

What do you think that massive unemployment would do to the economy?

How would folks deal with that run on the banks?

12. That is the point. The bailouts are the point for
many of the protesters if you bother to read the fine print. And the bailouts are a point of anger for many of here.

24. They have a truly idiotic way of pointing that out...
As per usual, they followed a bad crowd, glommed onto a stupid slogan, didn't do their homework in any regard, and allowed everyone to frame their own argument. Yeah, that'll learn us all.

Interesting how SOME alleged DU Democrats/Liberals can find nothing better to do than to stick up for the idiot Freepers.

48. bull fucking shit
they didn't make a sound when their republican government gave away hundreds of billions in bailouts with no accountability.

now they are protesting because a democratic government is bailing out companies, and attaching many, many strings to them - even to the point of considering receivership of those companies if they cannot reform.

it has NOTHING to do with bailouts, and EVERYTHING to do with anti-Obama, anti-Democratic lunacy.

I guarantee, ask the protestors WHO is getting bailed out, and for how much, and what conditions are put on the bailouts - 99.9% have no fucking idea.
