" Want to let them more places that most of the places Steve I read about weren't letting politicians speak anyway you know what Michael Steele the Republican Party chairman wanted to speak at the a team party in Chicago when he was told to war forget it."

" Now we thought we had thought our republic didn't have. Politicians they're they've decided it's big but all the Democrat. What it's it's. I don't know why do I didn't help."

" Yeah I know could could they beat any more condescending then they aren't they did you stay in then they -- to claim. But that that. Barack Obama does even though that these things are going on que magic is George Bush had to say that he didn't know that there already in the street protests going on and it was a big got a big left wing thing.

These antibodies could be a precursor. To you know. People sale of the federal government has has done enough let the states won the states. And I think that's what I mean who needs that have happened."

It's going to our union. In the union construction companies."

" pressuring the states to take the money in the state so want to give money back that they haven't used the feds don't want. It's insane."

" it's like it's like the TARP money for the banks you know -- the feds don't want to take the money back because they they don't want to give up control of these private corporations."

" Went 11 quick thing to. Back there -- a blueprint for a private companies borrowing money and pain of back and I'm in architecture that was Lee Iacocca was crisis."

However you know what. -- the crowd itself we're very polite Baylor ninety people. There were people well like myself I'm not prepared and say -- people never really been to a demonstration before."

" They have just every year down there there on the com and admiration."

" I am -- yeah I -- return to say navy or Qatar in this. I don't think so I mean it's possible written just opening up pandora's box because. I've even people who haven't done this start saying before with no room -- just organize. These kids it's north unorganized group. Yeah. And I think. Every one he had different things to say they had a different beat. Very angry."

" below the jet gimme -- like brief descriptions of the top three beeps that you think the the people what they tea party in Boston had."

" My tax -- yeah. But. -- giving up power. I'm giving everything up to the government to government control. Of people. And -- allowing the government. To be our brought not listening to -- I think everyone here who would facing the state house. -- had this painting I'm reminded me in looking at those windows. Speaking if -- all the hair looking out their window and he knocked I think hearing not at all. -- in the they have better because. Even though it could very quiet crowd yen in -- behavior. A lot of anger. People people have had."

" The question is well majority of people -- Marie you know there's and there's a Gallup poll out today saying that Americans that a majority of Americans about not a big majority but a slight majority of Americans are happy with the income taxes -- paying. But you know rush pointed out. Half the people in the country don't pay income taxes anymore so why wouldn't they be happy if say if I wasn't paying income taxes and so Lisa are you happy with the amount it taxes your -- I'd say you're damn right I -- Right right I mean we have to expand the taxpaying part of the population is. Close to being a minority in its -- and and you know once once and the taxpayers to become a minority then then the -- looting will really commence."

" When you've got up to Bob proud to OK you're working you can't go to best type thing and I think that might explain yeah hi Dave did turn out he'd blow. In comparison to how many people are fired up about -- they are working myself I was able to work it around my schedule because I work. -- myself yeah but if we're working for someone I couldn't take the day off final draft I."

" I spent -- I -- them the morning and part of the afternoon with some other people. There where we're trying to organize a new way to make money you know I mean that's that's something you you've always got he's you know we would if you have pretty steady sources of income. And -- a -- my source of -- a -- looks -- now -- it for awhile with the global -- trouble. But you've always got to be looking for new ways because the in the inflation is -- go out of control I have no doubt whatsoever about that the taxes are gonna go up as soon as he can he get a -- mean -- if -- if -- working. Person and someone who's not dependent on the then the federal handout you you've got to keep looking for new new opportunities all the time and don't just."

" He'd do however it people with software -- it's like how many rabbit people are they had. It's so many people could just moving -- everything and most people who haven't watched. Everything yeah did you hey you aren't my trip. And the people that I thought he would say there -- alarm and older people do it yeah premiere off you know."

" Com and I I understand why they went at a cost to the common you know what's the sent her and that's where you know leave the demonstrations traditionally take place should near the stayed out issue not that far from City Hall but the thing about that but the problem with the common is. It's a very expensive to commend the town Maria par as you know and it's an extra."

" apart when he two blocks apart. I got underneath the common that's what what a car in the park didn't say."

" Met my yeah my wife pointed the town last way because she -- want these new boots big youngest kid wanted to -- they restaurant on Beacon Hill and they -- couple friends whether. She got a 65 dollar ticket. You know I mean that's that's what your facing when you I mean that's the I think stuff like things like that cut down on the size of the crowd as well."

" Absolutely. Well kids to get traffic getting in there people -- well aware of the park. I hope that some of the other events get a better torque turn -- and I think they --"

" Thanks for the call corporation 1877469432218774694322. We're -- even Hampshire were re going to free parking that's where you want to have the event in my idea. In my experience. There's nothing good that's corny inflate the size of a crowd whatever this whatever you want to draw the crowd. For whatever reason. If nothing attracts a crowd like free parking chapped your next with how we cargo ahead --"

" I just can't reconcile that I mean you're and I you know another radio show to keep talking about these deep parties -- the country. I know what they hope to accomplish of these things. I mean am I guess that makes them feel better that that -- I'm gonna open protest but. I -- assured no one in Washington -- I had I had no idea Obama has no idea these are gone out to everybody personally don't Barney Frank that's brought our messages. -- And they couldn't care."

" He might he might be angry about it but well right. You right well. LEI think though what he's what he has still wore I assume. Barney more than Barack Obama does Barney has to stand for election next year. Yes good worry about whether or not this is the beginning of something big you know I mean they're they're always there was concern they hear the footsteps when you whenever you. Anything can happen in an election. --"

" But the thing that gets me every bit like opinion may now what what you know everybody was so mad at senator called devoted to the stimulus package. And there are a lot of threats bill -- results are talking about you know we won't help you again on the -- conservative runs against duke. There's no way that they're Republican Party the national party is going to allow a candidate. To run against senators Collins and when she saw these I've -- committees she did she -- she's the senior senator. I mean everything not -- sell enough papers you've been a long time I just don't see the machines to break. People -- what they worked for a really well the last time anybody asked you what you think. It's just a keynote out of its out of control and I don't feel like in the bark but all we're gonna do about it these."

" Well I've I've always said the best thing in the best. The best message you could deliver these people is by throwing a fuel Ramallah office on Election Day I agree with you about that but I in this stuff but there's nothing wrong without people getting together and in trying to watch it try to get organized maybe this maybe this will lead to something maybe you -- we will look back on this on election night in 2000 tenants say this was this true -- it all started. The is the -- overthrow of the up Pelosi. Reid. Control of congress. But hey -- Thursday -- clear reasons to be cynical no doubt about it -- didn't you know much Susan called police -- going to ask yourself is would you prefer to be re what are you better represented by Susan Collins -- or by a the liberal Democrat that she was running against congressman. Sally you're next with how we cargo ahead Sally."

" Tally is absolutely no question of Obama and ends the other Democrats know what's going on how to go about twenty part about 45 minutes ago yeah and it was in Bangalore do. End I think they would totally uplifting to be with like minded people. And one of the good things that came out of -- which I don't agree that she."

" That alone is enough to -- you get a success right I mean if you feel if you feel -- her fury spirits are lifted that's a good thing isn't it."

" I tested during a time like this -- absolutely. To know that you're not alone with. Feeling frustrated by -- the government becoming -- but bigger. But anyway one of the -- of the great idea became a bit. That was spread again and I hope candidate candidate can be spread is the idea that on -- more -- or not on Memorial Day but around Memorial Day. In honor of the folks who died this country you want to send a message to your congressmen senators represented whatever. Change of party -- independent they'll get the message if they if they can be. Edit edit crest today grassroots level like this was and that's -- I think Obama. Is the idea that breathing the same tactics that he used to be so successful."

" To organize these --"

" We gotta you -- Alex and I -- when the Department of Homeland Security. Start calling people. Right wing extremists because. They feel strongly about a particular issue but they disagree where they have a Ron Paul bumper sticker on their car. You know and excuse for your being put on their watch list yeah this appears the F."

" That that that that Homeland Security report is even more obnoxious and it seemed to be the more we find out about that the more obnoxious it seems we have a -- to while Michelle -- I hope she calls back about it but she's got a great column about this. Did you or did you know there are indeed -- some of the citation it's they cite some of the people waste site in this report are. Sally."

" But up please -- from -- carrier -- no."

" they were the ones who started at the police officers from Missouri. There were port relies on the work of the left leaning southern poverty law center to stir anxiety over disgruntled military veterans. Right right right southern poverty law center you -- has designated the venerable American legion I hate group. Because it wants the immigration laws enforced the American legion is a hate group. Because it wants the immigration laws enforced the group that said that is now cited as an authority on who's a right wing radical who isn't by the Department of Homeland Security. -- hit -- that's exactly what it is it's now rages. So and they they even seem like there were. Resentful about about the First Amendment listen to this part. Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally. Fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment. But in some cases anti immigration -- strident pro enforcement fevered fervor has been -- directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent. And his Michelle Malkin says. Its potential to turn violent sorted the hysterical fervor. Whipped up -- Capitol Hill over the AIG bonuses which prompted ugly death threats from across the country no mention here though not rightwing enough nor will you see Obama's VHS warnings to police and sheriff's departments about self proclaimed bank terrorist such as Bruce marks. Of the aggressive neighborhood assistance corporation of America or the mob activists of -- who have committed burglary stormed corporate executives saw homes and vowed to conduct civil disobedience by any means necessary in response to the quote current economic and political climate. So you're right you're right Sally it is out of control when there were I -- people exercising their first amendment rights in calling for enforcement of the laws that have been passed by congress or consider right wing extremists and radicals. Thanks for the call -- 187746943221. Howie Carr. We Kimelman castration hey M 680. W mark --"

" The -- as American as it hits. For people who roller strollers and make their signs they go to voice their opinion about the direction of the country good bad or indifferent. That's a great thing. There's not a lot of countries. Of course that metaphors -- to have that type of right it's a great thing."

" That's courses are works in telling him he's the guy got this whole thing going couple months ago. With his rant heard round the world in which called for Chicago tea party on July 4. The team party moniker stock says The Wall Street Journal but angry taxpayers weren't willing to wait until July. There is no political party behind these rallies no Korean war right wing conspiracy not even a 501 -- group like moveon.org. So who's behind the tax they tea party's ordinary folks were using the power of the Internet organized. The protest -- would bloggers in Seattle Washington who organized the demonstration on February 16 as word of this spread. Rallies in Denver in Mesa, Arizona were quickly organized for the next day then came sent tele."

" Pep -- you people want to make your neighbor's mortgage that doesn't actually bathroom and can't pay their bills embraced our hands. President Obama are you listening."

" Remember the the the people who were calling. Anyone who's for the Second Amendment or for a before. Enforcing immigration laws the same people were calling. Those people. Extremist right wing radicals. They were calling Rick -- The screen even hate speech hate speech. Because he just asked people we want to pay for the -- your your bust out neighbors. Bigger house that they couldn't afford. Pretty good question I would site. The good news this is a Glenn -- roles in The Wall Street Journal. The good news for Republicans is that while the Republican Party flounders in its response the Obama presidency and its programs millions of Americans are getting organized on their own. The bad news is that those Americans despite their opposition to present Obama's policies aren't particularly. Friendly to the GOP. When the Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele asked to speak to a Chicago. Tea party his request was politely refused by the organizers. Quote we prefer to limits -- time to those were not elected officials open government. As well as political parties this is an opportunity for Americans to speak elected officials -- listen not the other way around. So your earlier I call in from Concord, New Hampshire they allowed some politicians to speak there but not ditzy you don't -- it's not a it's not a -- rigidly popped down. -- organized. Effort it's a it's grass roots. It's Jack you're next with Howie -- go ahead Jack."

And you know we're trying to you know just say we've got enough."
