"We don't need hope, we need freedom!"

Mason Weaver (motivational speaker and a black man). He's doing a great job throwing out the lies of the radical right wing extremists.

"This is about socialism and we want our freedom back!"

Now Mike Pence telling the crowd they look like the calvary and can set the course of this country for a generation.

:wtf:

2. The irony of this

If the teabaggers had their version of "freedom" and "restoring what made America great", Mason Weaver would be in chains picking cotton right now.

4. That was different - Bush was protecting us from terraists.

Because they were afraid, they were fine with a war based on lies and the Patriot Act.

It's the same fear motivating them to carry horrific signs about Obama.

7. Ok, let me understand this. Wiretapping + Patriot Act = Good?

Have any of the great white unhinged stated what freedoms they have lost since January?

9. That's all I heard from the crowd - "freedom, freedom, freedom"

We they maybe intending to say something to substitute for "France, France, France" as in "freedom fries"?

I only watched about 15 minutes of the spectacle earlier this morning while they were interviewing crowd members at random. About all I heard is that they want freedom. Okay, doesn't everyone? I still don't understand what they really want and why they are there.
