[butterfly77]

15. There little sprinkle of pepper is somewhere in the crowd...

for effect..

[bluestateguy]

2. Disgusting. Protesting against their country.

These people have a fundamental hatred of America and should be monitored under the Patriot Act and the warantless wiretapping program.

[Fire1]

30. No. They have a hatred for what America is supposed to

stand for and THEIR American ideal does not include anybody unlike them. Period.

[alsame]

4. Most look to be at or near Medicare age. nt

[Indenturedebtor]

13. That was my first thought as well. Burn your medicare cards you asshats! n/t

[alsame]

18. Asshats is right. I would gladly trade them my private plan for

their Medicare...one month of paying my premium and they'll be begging for 'socialism'.

[mkultra]

5. mighty white of them

[nc4bo]

6. Nice save on the word A.m.e.r.*i*.c.a.n.

Losers.

[Ikonoklast]

7. They are angry but don't even know why.

[nc4bo]

11. Their hate and fear are their brain shield. Until the hate and fear goes

away, they will forever be lost causes and sentenced to the fringe of society.

The rest of us will step around, through and over them and their shrill screaming and blind, hateful and willful ignorance.

[City Lights]

8. "[email protected] is a high crime and misdemeanor"

:wtf:

Kooks. One and all. :thumbsdown:

[niceypoo]

10. I bet if you asked ten of them why they are there

They would give ten different answers.

[jefferson_dem]

12. After looking at these pics...I can say with certainty that...

there's absolutely nothing to the argument that the protesters are primarily comprised of angry, America-hating, teabagging, racist scumbags.


...


Much :sarcasm:

[polichick]

14. Hateful tools wrapping themselves in the flag - sickening. nt

[Avalux]

16. These people are terrified something will be taken from them.

I'm not sure they know exactly what that is but it doesn't matter. The Pukes have (as they always do) used fear as a political weapon without giving any real reasons or answers.

[Arkana]

17. More angry old white people bitching about programs that help others.

The Republican Party in a nutshell. How sad.

23. Grand Junction is on the Utah/Colorado border.

It's Hicksville, USA.

Believe it or not, though, the county over the state line here in Utah (Grand County), is one of the most liberal in the state (Moab, Utah is located there).

[fairydogmother212]

26. Grand Junction used to be a liberal town.

The old farmers and ranchers were always both poor and conservative. People in town, and the people employed by the railroad were liberal. It wasn't until this became a popular retirement community that conservatives generally ruled the roost around here. We can hardly even get funds passed for the school district because there are so many old people who go out in droves to vote down education funds. I'm so proud.

[Drunken Irishman]

27. I wonder if that'll happen to Grand County/Moab.

Right now, Grand County is a mix of blue collar union liberals and progressive environmental liberals (with the old farmers and ranchers who are poor and conservative). If it becomes a retirement center, yeah, things could change there.

[fairydogmother212]

28. Remember, Moab is a little isolated bastion in the most conservative state.

It's not that far of a trip to Mesa Countyitis. When you see the bluehairs comin', head fer the (slickrock) hills!

[Drunken Irishman]

31. Moab, Park City and Salt Lake City - the pride of Utah.

Outside of those three cities, well, yikes!

[fairydogmother212]

21. Honestly, sometimes it is embarrassing to live here in Happy Valley

[Drunken Irishman]

22. More selfish old people.

We got ours, so fuck you youngins.

Fuck you, old people (not all, but those who insist on denying others a chance to receive healthcare like they do).

[warrior1]

24. all sore losers

[Connie_Corleone]

25. And most of them look like they're on Medicare!

Man, do we have some stupid people in this country!

[mitchum]

32. The whiteness of the wail

[HughBeaumont]

33. "Stop Spending! We're Broke In Debt, Tapped Out!"

Uh . . . yeah.

WHO made you broke?

WHO put us in debt?

WHY are you tapped out?

Here's a clue-by-four, TeaBirther. It wasn't the guy currently in the White House.

28 Years of Hot Water and Now You Assholes Want To Make Tea.

White Old Bastards. Thanks for the two unwinnable occupations and the shitty economy, by the way. How did that fascist-y, shock-n-awe-y thing go for YOU, me and the rest of the nation? ALL of you scared bitches can get trains dropped on your heads as far as I'm concerned.
