HLN news calling tea party goers Extremist

Hi lilwonders...I saw a reporter call the parties anti-Obama, anti - government, and backed by the extremist station Foxnews. I thought that someone on CNBC started this all with one comment about the tea party? I thought that Fox just reported - nothing that was specifically backed. I hope people will see the truth.

These are only extreamist in that they want the government to be responsive to the people and their wished and not a government that is telling the people what they can and can not do.

I didn't think these tea parties were all republicans, either _ Extreme, bah. It's about time someone did something -- ANYTHING, about this kind of thing...instead of hiding behind apathy. I really didn't expect them to turn around and go; "It was the republicans!", I'm actually surprised...but yeah, it's bad all around. Terrorists, bah. They should watch who they're calling names.

How did you expect the media to react? Did you expect them to suddenly change over night? Did anyone really expect this to have an effect on Congress or Obama? If you did, you were dreaming. They have an agenda and no amount of tea parties or mailed tea tags or faxes or emails or phone calls is going to change it people. We are going to have to go physically to Washington and stop all traffic and make them see us. Bring Congress to a screeching halt. They are already making sounds that refer to the returning military as possible future trouble makers. I think that is the most frightening thing that I have ever heard. I heard it today again when I was flipping back and forth listening to the idiots on stations other than FOX and I cannot remember which one it was. The Government is making plans to do something about the returning military and the past military "JUST IN CASE WE DO SOMETHING" We cannot let these idiots continue dreaming this stuff up. We cannot continue to let them sell us to China and the Arab Emerites (our debt). We do not even own most of New York anymore. Foreigners do. We cannot own land in foreign countries so why can they own our country. This is wrong. We need a law to stop this too NOW! Shalom~Adoniah

All people who protest such things are obviously extremist. Using this logic, the USA should dissolve itself and rejoin the British Empire.

Yes, unfortunately people buy it as well as that it is just high level republicans organizing this in order to undermine Obama and to deregulate Obama policies. I have seen those statements repeated even by otherwise very intelligent people. It's really sad to see how they swallow the koolaid send down through the Obama hotline. Funny how Obama today talked about that they are re-writing the tax code to make it easier to do your tax return. In other words, 'we'll make it easier to pay your taxes and with the change you won't notice that you have to pay more', lol;) As long as the movement continues, they cannot continue to ignore the message and the fact that people come from all walks of life to protest.

I am afraid that there will be more and more comments like this in the future. The media - for the most part at least - seems to be squarely in Obama's corner. Therefore any of us who is brave enough to protest to anything that our new administration does will be labeled an extremist and quite possibly a terrorist and a threat to our nations' security. This is a very sad thing, but honestly I see it going that way. I only hope that the people who blindly supported him will begin to see what we have gotten our nation into for at least the rest of the next four years. Maybe by the time elections come around again, as a nation we will be so sick of the rhetoric and political games that we will vote out the old and vote in new blood with our nation's best interest at heart. I only hope that they don't bail out the media like rumors imply is being considered. This will only make things that much worse! But no, I don't think that if you protest you are an extremist or a threat to our nation, it simply makes you a concerned and worried citizen trying to do what you believe is right!

I'll never watch that channel again. Someone should sue them for libel.
