Are you blind? Watch any of the videos up about the tea party you can count over a thousand people. The crowd covered the entire block filled the grass area to standing room only. It makes you look quite biased when you delibertly undercount like that. Try reporting the news instead of pushing your agenda.

On behalf of the people at the protest we do not belive in the right/left paridigm. its is about freedom or tyranny and we choose freedom, we don’t care if you are liberal, conservative, green, libertarian, whatever. aslong as you think the constitution of the usa should be enforced and you love freedom you are welcomed to join us in taking back our country. this isn’t about obama bashing this is about returning to small government that is kept in check by the people and is not a huge tyranical force for evil! Bring the troops home, End the Federal Reserve! and protect the constitution. I would expect more from the north coast journal, when will you stop playing into the fake right/left paridigm. This is about restoring honest government in america and kicking out the criminals in washington! Please join us in this! Go research the federal reserve and counsil on forign relations, bilderberg group, trilateral commision, and you will see the same thinktanks and groups behind bush are behind obama, this is about defeating the influence that the ultra rich and elite have on america, this is about defeating fascism. Mousullini said fascism is better called corporatism! Don’t you understand how they do this to us, and divide and conquor us by dividing us into false left / right groups. We need to forget about looking at things this way and we should better ask does this law/rule grant more freedom or less! I choose freedom and i belive the majority of humboldt belives in freedom too! Lets unite and stop the partisian bickering and emotional battles over american culturual diffrences! if we loose this fight what we do in our personal lifes and what we think about being for or againt abortion/gay marriage etc is irrelevent if we loose all our freedoms! Lets come together peacfully to inform and educate each other so we can create a higher level of conciousness and break free!

Peace and Freedome!

To some of us this isn’t a joke.

Emily Hobelmann’s article dinn’t mock the tea baggers at all. But it should have. How do you not mock a group of people who hit the streets to protest an administration that has cut taxes for 95% of American households and which is sending us a $250 Social Security bonus check? How can you not mock a group of people who mourn for an administration that came in with a 1.3 billion dollar surpus and left us a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit and that was content to spend 11 billion dollars a month in Iraq in perpituity? Borrowed money, by the way. How can you not mock a group of people who smugly protest the cost of a recovery effort but who pretend that inaction would have no cost?
