Well well, we’re all familiar with the hysterical and opinionated Susan Roesgen’s CNN blip while at the Chicago Tea Party on tax day from Wordsmith’s post below. What you may not have seen is the aftermath…. what did not make it on the air since it was exclusively filmed by Founding Bloggers.
The aftermath footage starts about 2 minutes in, after the CNN aired segment. Ordinary citizens used their free speech rights to let Ms. Roesgen know just how they felt about her news coverage. One might say they grabbed Ms. Roegen’s pitchfork and got in a few stabs of their own.
And a H/T to Newsbusters for the heads on up this footage.
As mon pal, Aye Chi, likes to say… “roll the tape”…
Vietnam era Navy wife, indy/conservative, and an official California escapee now residing as a red speck in the sea of Oregon blue.
The lady came with an agenda and it showed.
Don’t recall seeing CNN giving the same treatment to MoveOn, Code Pink or pro-Illegal rallies.
Didn’t 90% of Americans just get a tax cut?
Not liking what the Government is spending the money on is something that spans the history of taxation itself.
Not to say this type of movement will have no effect, when enough people were protesting against the Vietnam war, many protest events, including the shooting of students at Kent State University who were protesting, certainly played it’s part in shaping the outcome of the war.
The Tea Party protesters were a well behaved and civil bunch from the looks of things. Time will tell if this all translates to the ballot box.
Derisively amusing how she points out comparisons of Obama to the anti-Christ with disgust yet saw nothing to be indignant about in regards to similar comparisons when it was about Bush:
we all know we need to pay taxes for basic services, we just don’t want the bullshit spending. it is very apparent from the clips i have seen that this reporter has an agenda of her own. she was acting like a shrill obama supporter who must defend at all costs because that is how she has been programmed. by the by, my spell check still thinks obama should be osama. interesting…
Anyone notice how much this witch looks like NANCY PELOSI? Right down to the hair do? And was that Kieran Chetry, formerly of Fox commenting after they cut away?
I’d love to sit down with these people and ask them to explain their logic to me. If I am 5,000.00 in debt, I am going to get out of debt by adding 5,000.00 more is that what we are to understand? And we are not supposed to OBJECT to this twisted thinking?
Anti-government, Anti-CNN. Hmm…Since when does CNN consider itself the government?
I was in the crowd photographing Roesgen during the Chicago Tea Party and the crowd was very respectful, even giving her room to work in a very crowded public space until she first interviewed the guy with a sign containing an image of Obama as Hitler and she then disrupted an interviewee’s response to her own question. Her further suggestion that the gentleman in question be happy with the fact that $50 billion will go to “the Land of Lincoln” to be spent by the New Rod Blagojevich, Pat Quinn is laighable.
