So, it's ok for other people to take time off and protest for legalization of late term abortion, illegal immigrants, against the war, against soldiers, against marines, against the treatment of terrorists at Guantanamo, the use of deoderant or whatever suits their fancy that week, because it is patriotic. But for hardworking Americans to take time off work, whose taxes pays for many salaries (including those in Washington) and welfare to protest higher taxes, that is somehow wrong and they should be working? I fail to see the logic.

CNN Correspondent Claims Tea Parties "Anti-Goverment" Anti-CNN"
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/julia-s...nment-anti-cnn
CNN is finally covering the tea parties - by attacking the participants. After anchor Anderson Cooper made an obscene sexual joke about attendees, CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen rudely interrupted one of the protestors and slammed the event for being "anti-government," "anti-CNN," and "not really family viewing."
Roesgen asked a man holding his toddler, "Why are you here today?"
The man started to respond saying, "Because I hear a president say that he believed in what Lincoln stood for. Lincoln's primary thing was he believed people had the right to liberty and they had the right..."
But Roesgen cut him off him, saying, "But sir, what does that have to do with taxes? What does this have to do with your taxes?" She continued asking questions over his as he asked her to "let me finish my point." One crowd member was heard to yell "shut up" to the Roesgen.
When the man finished his statement about people having the "right to the fruits of their own labor" and "government should not take it," Roesgen began arguing with him again and other protesters began to get upset.
Roesgen backed away claiming that "you get the general tenor of this," tea party. "Anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox and since I can't really hear much more and I think this is not really family viewing. Toss it back to you Kyra," Roesgen concluded.
Phillips followed by calling that assessment "a "prime example of what we're following across the country."

Well when the news anchors and reporters start paying the higher taxes and griping about it I'm going to be the first to laugh at them. I watched how the election was covered now I know why it was covered that way. Talk about the news taking sides. What happened to being objective. The way the tea parties were reported on today sure wasn't objective at all. I lost a lot of respect for CNN today.

Mmmmm no. In fact I never mentioned any of the following. You're drawing a conclusion based on one statement which was completely unrelated to what you wrote.
Rather than assume how I would feel why not ask how I feel?

No. It is irrelivant as to which protest you attended.

Anderson's comment was totally uncalled for. And what the heck were the CNN ladies talking about? I think they must have been listening to the voices in their heads instead of the people on the street.
