And this BS talking point is being posted on FB and emailed all over...

[jorno67]

it kind of leaves out who the cops work for...

[Avalux]

1. And you're doing your part by posting it here. We don't care. n/t

[jorno67]

[Richardo]

[bainz]

15. LoL. Had to google onow to see what it means. n/t

[abelenkpe]

2. Its just a sad attempt at

patting themselves on their hateful little backs. Just ignore them.

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. Know them by their lack of substance and facts.

[meegbear]

6. Count the Number of Misspelled Signs

[BlueJazz]

8. The 700 were arrested for "Being There" not for seriously breaking the law.

Also, we're to classy to send in a pack of people who cause disruption, turmoil and bullshit.

[Bigmack]

9. Well... if this keeps up...

We could end up in the situation where there's no arrests at the "occupy" events, either.

[Lucinda]

10. I hadn't seen that yet. Thanks for bringing it.

:hi:

11. Look at it! When the protest is against authority, people get arrested.

When people are rallying with authority, nobody gets arrested. THINK FOR YOURSELF!

[shanti]

12. exactly

that's a no-brainer...

[MrDiaz]

13. The teabaggers were

with authority??? That's a new one to me. And All these dumb cops arresting the innocent are in a union, why can't the union do something about it?

[CJCRANE]

14. The teabaggers are

with the rich and powerful who are protected by authority.

[bainz]

16. Who is the authority? n/t

[MrDiaz]

21. I thought

It was President Obama

[booley]

17. American fascism comes wrapped in the flag

And the last line actually refutes the tea bagger's claim that the government was suppressing them. IF the teabaggers were really opposing a government as oppressive as they claimed then arrests should have been inevitable.

So either the government wasn't as oppressive as they believed or the tea baggers weren't really opposing the ones doing the oppression.

They were useful idiots, used to deflect the inevitable anger at being screwed over so it helped those that did the screwing and they never even realized it.

Worse they are authoritarians. They're "anger" at the government was a sham. The only thing they were angry about was that they weren't entirely in control.

18. Count the number of critical thinkers.

[OHdem10]

19. Tea Party was manufactured by the Republican Party for the

Republican Party and had Republican Party Protection.

[coalition_unwilling]

20. Reactionary drivel - n/t

[lumberjack_jeff]

22. Protests: If you're not getting arrested, you're doing it wrong.

The tea party was a pep rally for corporate usa.

[plcdude]

23. I suggest

a third photo of MLK et al being arrested and placed along side of the other two.
