Are the republicans aware that the goal of a protest is to show your outrage to the opposition, not amuse them?

How dare you accuse Republicans... of awareness!

Seriously: 300 people in Philadelphia? I've seen more people than that on line at Pat's Steaks!

Really!

I have been sitting here, listening to all of this, wondering "What corporate sponsor would the anti-war protesters need to appeal to in order to get weeks of free advertising and support?"

What would they have to do to get ANY airtime?

Protests against murder/invasion/empire building have been taking place since Faux hired retired military heads to promote invading a country that had NOTHING to do with 9/11, one that posed no danger to us at all; that's propaganda. MILLIONS of people WORLDWIDE have been protesting (peacefully on their part) year after year, against this mass murder, no airtime - just ignore them, maybe they will go away. (NOT going to happen)

Still wondering.

Since war is so profitable, I can't think of a single one.

Priorities. We are becoming a morally bankrupt species.

We protest to help the rich stay rich, but not for innocent human life.

For what it's worth - I don't agree with either spending measure Bush's OR Obama'a. Both are CFR members, both marching to the beat of the same drummer AND towards the same goal.

I do not identify with the Republican Party, but am aware that the goal of a protest is to show outrage/disagreement over an issue.

If it amuses the other side, that is probably their mistake -- not a mistake of the ones protesting.

It's human nature...when people are afraid of something, they try to minimalize it by making fun of it. Which is exactly what the liberal media is doing with their coverage of the tea parties. They are showing how scared they are and you are showing how much of a sheep the libs can be. Think for yourself.

LOL! But I'm afraid they said the same thing to liberal protests the past eight years. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Still funny, though. Have a good one!

No, the purpose of a protest is to rally the troops and make a statement. If the liberals weren't concerned, they wouldn't have lashed out in such a venomous way. They realize that normal folks are getting fed up with their elitist left-wing fascist agenda and they are at risk of losing power in 2010. If they were only amused, they wouldn't talk about it.

Funny how all the anti-war protesters who turned their rallies into an anti-Bush hatefest are now whining and crying about how these protests were against Obama and his policies. Also funny how these protests were filled with veterans, law enforcement officers, and hard-working Americans waving American flags and singing patriotic songs, while liberal protests are full of vulgar insults and usually end up in a riot with property destroyed, buildings burned, and people put in jail. But of course, to them, the ends justify the means.

Yes I have seen the left protest with anger, outrage, and downright stupidity in the things they have said and you know what. Only the mainstream media was interested.

The tea parties are a grassroots movement, and we attract people by ideas and not outrange.

Hillary Clinton laughed (or cackled) at piracy. Is this something libs like to do instead of addressing problems?

the libs are just as amusing when the nominate their presidential candidates.

You do realize that finding humor where it doesn't exist is a sign of insanity... right?
