Less than 100 Tea Party-affiliated protesters gathered in Lafayette Square on Tuesday to call for Obama’s impeachment, just steps from the White House where President Obama was meeting with members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. “We have been disserved by the so-called leaders of our country for generations,” said Larry Klayman, the chairman of Freedom Watch and leader of the Reclaim America Now Coalition. ““We are giving [Obama] one last chance to obey the will of the American people.”
The Reclaim America Now is a coalition of about 30 conservative groups, including Gun Owners of America, Accuracy in Media and Tea Party Patriots, who stand behind the idea that President Obama and many of our elected leaders are tyrannical and do not govern with their best interests at heart. Outraged over Benghazi, the allegations that the IRS targeted conservative groups, the NSA, and especially Obamacare, ralliers agreed: Obama must go. ”I know a scoundrel when I see one,” said former US congressman Bob Barr, who helped lead the impeachment effort against Bill Clinton in 1998. “We have a scoundrel living in that house right here and we need to get him out.”
Barr, who will run for Congress in Georgia in 2014, also read a revised version of his 1997 inquiry of impeachment with President Obama’s infractions replacing former President Clinton’s. He later told TIME that the purpose of the event was to remind American people that they have the power to stand up to government.
Klayman described the rally as the first day of the second American Revolution. At the event, a George Washington impersonator presented the grievances of the coalition in the form of a repurposed Declaration of Independence. The demands included seeing President Obama’s birth certificate, not George Washington said, the “photocopied version,” repealing the Affordable Care Act, and allowing witnesses from Benghazi to give their accounts. Klayman said that if President Obama does not adhere to their demands by Black Friday, Nov. 29, the day that traditionally marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, the protestors would have no choice but to attempt to force him out of office.
I think this almost exactly meets the dictionary's definition of "insignificant."
Benghazi, Obama's birth certificate, and the so-called IRS targeting of teabaggers? Are these idiots trapped in a time warp or something?
I wonder what it must be like to become increasingly irrelevant as each day comes to a close?
Maybe we should ask Sarah Palin?
....and just how are you going to attempt that forced outing, little bigots?
ReplyDeleteThey should of all been arrested for sedition!
DeleteAll of 'em, any of 'em!
Bastards!
Fuck off!!! I am so flippin' sick of these a$$holes and their "poutrage"! We VOTED in our President, they can fuck off.
Word.
DeleteI want to see this live on television!
DeleteBob Barr? Seriously? Have you not gotten a real job since you left Congress the first time? Clinton's impeachment was a witch hunt; so
ReplyDeleteis this. Bunch of crazy kooks. How come they sat by and let Bush ruin America?
They did. But to their credit, they did say that they have been disserved by the so-called leaders of our country for generations. . .guess that's why they were so quiet during the Bush years?
DeleteThese tpers make me crazy in the way they butcher the English language! Disserve is not a recognized word. One can't just put "dis" in front of any word to change the meaning to a negative.
DeleteI think Bob Barr is more than 50% of African descent. Google his picture and you will see.
DeleteHere's the truth, little tea people: no matter how much money and crazy allegations were hurled at our President by you in the 2012 election, Pres. Barack H. Obama beat Mitt Romney by more than 5,000,000 (five million) votes. The vote has been certified by the House of Representatives. The majority of U.S. voters want him in office until Jan. 20, 2017.
ReplyDeleteLet's just agree that President Obama represents the majority will of the people by a factor of five million votes versus the 100 (one hundred) people who showed up with tea bags swinging from their hats. 5,000,000 v. 100. You do the math.
Oh, and check those tea bags -- I could be wrong but Lipton and Earl Grey are manufactured by foreign firms. Never can be too careful when dealing with the octopus-like reach of multinational nowadays. Who's behind your "rebellion," anyway?
Whether they know it or now, they're all kochsuckers.
DeleteThis is just the tip of the iceberg, with Koch consumer goods to avoid:
DeleteGeorgia-Pacific
Consumer products Georgia Pacific
Building products Invista®

Keep up research, in bldg. supplies and other such products , and avoid when you can.
Thank you for posting this list. I will research more and post.
Delete7:57 thanks for list. They're shitty products even if they weren't Koch products but I never knew.
Delete"Maybe we should ask Sarah Palin?"
ReplyDeletePLEASE DON'T! I have had all of that fool's word salad I can stomach!
"have no choice but to attempt to force him out of office."
ReplyDeleteI actually laughed out loud at this - hahahaaa!!
If they keep trying, they might have him out of office by January 2017.
DeleteAIM is signed onto this? Kincaid has really driven them over the cliff since Reed Irvine's death.
ReplyDeleteMouse? You give them far too much credit and size. More like the flea, or maybe the parasite on the flea.
ReplyDeleteThey are just a bunch of ignorant peawit racist tools/fools doing the bidding of corporatists and plutocrats. They epitomize the most mediocre in this country. Fox and the right wing echo chamber 'nurtures' and encourages these idiots.
ReplyDelete"The Reclaim America Now is a coalition of about 30 conservative groups"
ReplyDeleteSo they average 3 people per organization. Somehow I am not surprized.
Funny, I thought the will of the American people was spoken on 2012 Election night.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of insane, dangerous losers.
one thing, to add--there IS documented fact that the IRS DID, indeed, target right wing groups, much, much, much more than left. There were 3 year delays in some cases, and totally inappropriate questions required to answer by these groups. I'm not saying that the protesters weren't destined to fail in this situation, but there are some things that have been done under the watch of this president.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the fact that when there is a concern by some citizens, this president doesn't seem to know about it, when it is something that he should have known about. like the healthcare.org rollout. This is SUCH an important thing for this administration, why wasn't he questioning it more?!? Why did he speak all over about how wonderful it will be, on October 1st, but it wasn't! Why DIDN'T he know??? He should have. In fact, they just said yesterday (2 days ago?) that there is still 60-70% to finish, especially the payment part! There are some things with this administration that just adds to the right's fire.
Oh For Fucks Sake.
DeleteThose idiot baggers were political organizations and still got tax exempt status. Also the IRS questioned progressive groups too---some who did not get tax exempt status.
Go back to Breitbart and Drudge---please.
There is no there---there, but as with all the "scandal"
they try to put on the President it is bullshit and goes nowhere.
Actually the FACTS are more democratic groups were targeted. ALL the ones targeted should have been, too many groups are just using these to avoid taxes. So bagga, get your facts straight next time you come to play.
DeleteObamacare began years ago. This stage of it is important but its problems will be worked out. It's too bad no bagger or RWNJ cares to pull together with the rest of this county, ever, on anything, let alone making Obamacare better. You're an albatross around the neck of a country that could be great.
DeleteBTW "Obamacare" was the GOP plan over single payer, but thanks for playing.
DeleteHave you seen me dis matters, for one? They are one of them most political news sources, but got right through.
DeleteAlso, A non. 11:41, please provide a link to name them. I would like to compare.
anybody have links to attendance at her book signings in Texas or wherever she is today?
ReplyDeleteThere they go again (paraphrasing their St. RWR), coining neologisms. “Disserve"? President Obama has done nothing to deserve your nonsense! I will say you were ill-served by educators however.
ReplyDeleteIll-served by the Republicans who've been cutting funding to public schools for decades...
DeleteI vote for "home schooling" and private church schools.
DeleteThe tea party is comprised of small groups
ReplyDeleteof bitter , dysfunctional social outcasts.
They haven't been able to attract crowds of any size for a long time.
Every rally is a dud .
That doesn't stop them ( and the media ) from overstating their numbers and influence.
The Republican Party seems to have finally caught on and is beginning to step away from the weirdos.
Much to the howls and threats from Limbaugh / Palin and the rest of the kooks.
The Tea Party might be "comprised of small groups of bitter, dysfunctional social outcasts" but they are funded by two of the wealthiest men in the country - Charles and David Koch. For that reason, these crazy teabaggers are dangerous and, like Sarah Palin, should not just be laughed off.
DeleteBeaglemom
Bob Barr again, huh? Even though he was pretty funny in Borat, I haven’t forgiven him for his fake outrage over Clinton. So now he’s ginned up some more fake outrage? This is why we can’t let up on Sarah Palin. These people keep trying to come back.
ReplyDeleteMock them all you want.
ReplyDeleteBut beware!
More people showed up at this rally than any of Sarah's book signings.
Bwahahaha!
ReplyDelete"...the protestors would have no choice but to attempt to force him out of office."
ReplyDeleteNow THAT would be something to see--personally, I've got my money on the Secret Service.
Let 'em see for themselves how the "Occupy" movements fared. They're all just chickenshits flappin' their beaks.
DeleteObama and Obamacare are at record lows in popularity.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz
Pointing out the evils of both
Taking back our country will not be easy
But this is just the beginning
See you on BLACK Friday. We'll see just how far you get, whiner bagger.
DeleteTaking back our country from the likes of Cruz and Plain will not be easy but they sure are helping us by their self-destructiveness.
DeleteThe President's popularity may have been bruised by the problems with the ACA rollout, but he's still at about 4 times the approval rate of Congress.
DeleteTake back "your" country from whom? The majority? Is that how democracy works?
DeleteF you fucking white peeps, you are never getting my country again
DeleteFeel for the sorry TeaBaggers...
ReplyDeletefor no matter how they bitch,
how much they piss and moan
and threaten and rage
Barack Obama is and will forever be
the first black American President.
And there's not a god-damned thing they can do to change that.
Withe incompetent job he has done
DeleteHe will also be the last black American president
so since Bush was 100 times more incompetent does that mean he was the last white American presdient ? *rolls eyes* race does not determine competetence or incompetence -- and for the record the economy is improving under Obama's watch (and the only reason it is doing so at a slow pace is because the Republicans are doing all they can to destroy it) and there have been many more successes under Obama - he's not perfect, and I don't agree with everything - but he is certainly very competent, intelligent, and truly has the well being of this nation at the heart of everything he does
DeletePresident Obama will go down in history as one of the BEST presidents once ACA all comes into being.
DeletePut down the racist fantasy and back away slowly. Besides, if incompetence had any bearing on the race of future presidents, there would never be another white president.
ReplyDeleteLet
Deletes hope so, or at least no more white males.
Yeah, a hundred pablum puking racist idiots in revolutionary garb calling for the ouster of the scoundrel in the White House, the uppity black fella who dismisses the power of a hundred idiots in revolutionary garb, MUST OBEY by "BLACK Friday"...... next week they'll be back with the "Leave or we'll hold our breath" demand.
ReplyDeleteThe lights are on and someone's home, dammit!!!
