Tea Party Protesters Protest D.C. Metro

Recommended Posts

Tea party protestors who are arguing against further taxation have taken up odds against a tax run service they relied on to get them to their protest.

Protesters who attended Saturday’s Tea Party rally in Washington found a new reason to be upset: Apparently they are unhappy with the level of service provided by the subway system.

Rep. Kevin Brady asked for an explanation of why the government-run subway system didn’t, in his view, adequately prepare for this past weekend’s rally to protest government spending and government services.

Seriously.

The Texas Republican on Wednesday released a letter he sent to Washington’s Metro system complaining that the taxpayer-funded subway system was unable to properly transport protesters to the rally to protest government spending and expansion.

“These individuals came all the way from Southeast Texas to protest the excessive spending and growing government intrusion by the 111th Congress and the new Obama administration,” Brady wrote. “These participants, whose tax dollars were used to create and maintain this public transit system, were frustrated and disappointed that our nation’s capital did not make a great effort to simply provide a basic level of transit for them.”

A spokesman for Brady says that “there weren’t enough cars and there weren’t enough trains.” Brady tweeted as much from the Saturday march. “METRO did not prepare for Tea Party March! More stories. People couldn’t get on, missed start of march. I will demand answers from Metro,” he wrote on Twitter.

Brady says in his letter to Metro that overcrowding forced an 80-year-old woman and elderly veterans in wheelchairs to pay for cabs. He concludes that it “appears that Metro added no additional capacity to its regular weekend schedule.”

Never underestimate people's stupidity. Ever.

I mean honestly.

“These individuals came all the way from Southeast Texas to protest the excessive spending and growing government intrusion by the 111th Congress and the new Obama administration,” Brady wrote. “These participants, whose tax dollars were used to create and maintain this public transit system, were frustrated and disappointed that our nation’s capital did not make a great effort to simply provide a basic level of transit for them.”

The level of dissonance required to say something with a straight face and without irony is mind-boggling.

I thought there was enough irony in the "movement" to begin with. This is the icing on the cake.

The intelligence level of the typical Tea Partier is low to begin with and the Country knows that, but it seems like they are getting dumber and dumber with the more rallies they have :wacko:

:wacko:]Woooow, this video really gives you a real glimpse of the trash, and mentally unstable people that attend these things. I almost pity them :hmm:

These people don't even know what they are protesting, they are just there because Fox told them to be there :rolleyes:

Wait a sec, you mean to tell me people who do actualy pay taxes (whether they want to pay more then the 50% they already pay in a WIDE range of taxes, or not) Expect the money they pay to serve them properly???? The nerve of some people. LOL, be for freakin real people, you are grasping at straws.

that was astounding. sad , pathetic and astounding. what is more bothersome ? is we think that is fringe ?

it isn't.

alot of people think exactly the same. many here. who don't have a clue yet who think they do.

spouting off talking points garnered from the media without getting the whole picture and think what they know is fact.

fact is we rarely hear the whole story . You won't hear it from Beck and Fox news ... but you won't hear it from Olberman either .. yet he does better at putting it out as does Maddow . MSMBC is better at gathering facts over all. even there you have to cut through spin.

it sqeaks out inbetween .

Anyone would be "better at gathering facts" if they could manufacture their own!

At the end of the day BHO will deliver healthcare reform to 45 million people without health insurance....

The pro reformers will have reason to celebrate universal healthcare....

...than what...?

...more bailouts for the too big to fails?.... more buyouts for the government owned corporations...?

Do pro reformers pay any attention to the economy?

And where's the fashion police?

WOW someone attacking conservatives for their race and appearance ....never seen THAT before :rolleyes:

I admit I didnt watch the video, I'm just sick of the game. The right calls the left socialists and passifist. The left calls the right greedy, racist and makes fun of them. Over and Over again.

No, racism is attacking someone for their appearance. Being obese can usually be avoided, but being a certain skin color NOT!

The fashion police thing is a joke because they (conservatives) often like to refer to men that dress well as gay or as a fag-as in "that looks so gay or faggoty!"

Looks like lots of gluttony to me-think they are starving from paying so many taxes? Looks like they will be needing some serious health care soon. Looks to me like they don't give a damn about heath care especially their own! Must be all that good southern cookin. LOL!! I just find it ironic that they are worried about worse health care when it is obvious they don't maintain their own health. In fact i think they have a pre-existing condition now called brainintouranus- I hope their insurance company will cover this condition.

They need to to put some of that fat back into their brains-because it looks to me like in went in their behinds

The conservative republicans are capitalists and obviously mentally challenged by the looks of this. Capitalism is based on greed and i ask where are all the african/americans/minorities here? And would Jesus be a Capitalist and march with these folks? I think not!

It's obvious that these Tea Partiers do not even know exactly what they are protesting against!! How naive and trusting can you be? Don't they ever stop and analyze or research anything?

LMAO :lol::rofl: !! I swear I laughed for a full minute after reading this statement!!

It is really pathetic isn't it? This was less than 10 minutes but I get the distinct feeling that these people are representative of the Tea Partiers as a whole, and prove the stereotypes right in so many ways. Overall just a bunch of gullible, misinformed, extremist, dumb people ;)

Oh and :lol: at the people calling Obama a Marxist and socialist and then being unable to even define the words. Also :blink: to the guy saying Obama's name was in the Bible saying he was the Antichrist..........WTF :blink:

These people are stupid :sleepy:

Trick question...All Americans are fat and lazy...it's what unites as a nation. Wether it be red state or blue state at the end of the day we all dig into the same Twinkie Box and watch American Idol together.
