Orlando 'Tea Party' rally draws more than 4,000

By Helen Eckinger | Sentinel Staff Writer
March 22, 2009

"This is maybe the greatest single gathering of God-fearing patriots in the history of Orlando, Florida," local conservative radio host Bud Hedinger, who emceed the event, told the crowd.

The attendees, many of whom said they'd heard about the rally on Hedinger's radio show, brandished flags and homemade signs bearing slogans such as "Repeal the pork or our bacon is cooked" and "Obama lied, liberty died."

"We're really scared about what's happening in our country," said Debby Whisenand, 71, of Largo in Pinellas County. She waved a sign that read "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money" on one side, and "You can't blame Bush anymore" on the other.

Her feelings were shared by Lisa Feroli, one of the event's organizers, who said that a similar fear motivated her to e-mail Hedinger with the idea for the Orlando Tea Party.

"The goal was to get people united, to let people know that they aren't alone in their feelings on despair," Feroli said. "We want to speak out against the push toward socialization that we feel is taking place in our country."

"They need to shove that bum out," he said, referring to President Obama. "I hate seeing them spend my grandchildren's money."

:eyes:

Yeah, because Obama's had a couple months now to fix 8 years of idiocracy. What a failure he is. Where were these morons when Bush wrote a blank check against their grandchildren with an illegal occupation of a foreign country?

[FreakinDJ]

1. Fundies and KKK

like they have the answers

FreepTards were cheerleading the destruction of our country and now they want to prohibit any possible relief

[patrice]

7. Ding! Ding! Ding! Cecessionists encouraged by Palin/McCain '08.

[FreakinDJ]

18. GOP 100% vesting in attempting to ruin Economic Recovery

Sam Donaldson has said this publicly prior to Obama's inauguration - why would anyone be surprised now

[Donnachaidh]

2. "I hate seeing them spend my grandchildren's money."

Where was this slack-jawed geezer when BUSH was spending his grandkid's money?

[MadBadger]

3. Were they teabagging each other at this one?

[DrDan]

4. bud hedinger is such a hack

[Lorien]

10. You mean Butthead Inger

That's exactly what it sounds like when he says it. I always knew that guy was a fundie whack job-even back when he was a local news anchor.

[AwareOne]

15. I always refer to him as Bud Headgiver

I always knew he was a right wing fundie nut job. He had to restrain himself when he was on TV but now its full blown idiocy.

[mitchum]

5. May they soon be with their precious lord

[madmom]

6. Can't blame bush cuz their still blaming Clinton.

[ThomWV]

8. If 4000 of them showed up then we have failed

[YOY]

9. Do you need a sarcasm sticker?

Orlando is a fundie city.

[Lorien]

11. No, Orlando went for Gore, Kerry, and Obama

our Major is also a Dem. The surrounding areas are pretty red, though.

[flvegan]

17. Plus, it's an easy drive from much of the state.

[pretzel4gore]

12. but Obama's one of theirs!

lol. I just read Tom Frank's 'What da madda wid Kansas, merka?' iffen I remember ta title rightly, and that says it all. Basically, the pig, aka Mister Pig aka Meester Pig aka the fukkin pig has become name fer a mutated critter made outta the noble elephant and loyal donkey xxxing for 2 goddam generations and spawning about 2k; to create something else, let's call it the 'Pus' cuz it stinks awful and is result of severe national infection and...it means we all dead folks walking etc!
:(
and they complain when mr pig puts up the only possible politician that has even hope/hell of doing anything (and THEY are to be the benefitiaries before we lib/lefties and out friends in rest of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even see end of war on marajuwanna, or goddam electric car, if we in fact ever do!

[ima_sinnic]

13. "speak out against the push toward socialization"??

what a bunch of fucking a-holes!
DUH! yes, having to "socialize" with people who have turds where their brains should be is very disturbing. I would like to protest socialization and its many disadvantages.

[bluestateguy]

14. I'm assuming that they will give their tax cuts back to the government then

It's not patriotic to abuse freedom of speech and attack the commander in chief in a time of war.

[originalpckelly]

16. Fascism is on it's way. We're really going to have to fight against this and the real communists.

This system isn't great, but it's at least a step above either of those other two options.

[VampyreHunter]

19. Numbers lie.

My motto is: The larger the number..the lower the I.Q.

[HughBeaumont]

20. "You can't blame Bush anymore"

See, that's just one of those things that stupid people say that simply isn't TRUE.

The lion's share of this debt was CAUSED by Bewsh. 70% of the current national debt was rung up by Reagan, Bewsh I and Bewsh II.

The "Borrow and Waste" party screwed us for 41 years and counting. Blaming a festering sore of a problem that long in the making on a president that just passed 2 months in office defies all logic. Yet what do you expect from a bunch of know nothing jokes like Republicans?

[TahitiNut]

21. Are you demeaning people with learning disabilities???

After all, the term 'idiot' refers to a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25.

Maybe you should apologize for such gross insensitivity.


:hide:

[liberal1973]

22. These people are un-American and clearly hate America

Wtf? Bud Hedinger is a right wing extremist. That pos at one point was a anchor on tv. Goes to show you what liberal media?

Those people should be on a airplane to Alaska. Get the f out of our country.

[Odin2005]

23. How many porta-potties did they have?

[Iggo]

24. Never stand next to someone who's afraid of God.

Thanks, Grandma.

[chrisa]

25. I don't get the argument - "Let's stop spending money."

How do they plan to stimulate the economy then?

[prolesunited]

26. Here's an idea

"We want to speak out against the push toward socialization that we feel is taking place in our country."

Lets start dismantling socialism by taking away their Social Security and Medicare.

[Vickers]

27. Drawing only 4,000 whackjobs in Orlando is like 150 people showing

up for a Springsteen concert in New Jersey.

29. Bud Heddinger is a bonafide fundie fascist asshole

He's our local, quieter version of Michael Savage. He may long yell and scream like Savage does, but he's every bit as hateful. His broadcasts are routinely filled with diatribes against homosexuals, immigrants, Muslims, Democrats, communists, and everyone else they consider their "enemies".

He would have absolutely no qualms about instituting a strict Christian theocracy.

[krispos42]

30. How dare they question the President in a time of war

They're all traitors to America! The President should put them all in Gitmo! Don't they understand that we're in a war to the death with Islamo-fascists????






Ah, role reversal... :smoke:



Now I know why they did it so often... much less thinking involved!
