What do you want to bet that the mayr s a Democrat.

‘
The T.E.A. Party is a respectable establishment.

These ‘Occupiers’ are just one big flash mob and party.

Go home kids, there is work to be done.

.

Thats what happen when “social justice” takes the place of “equal justice.”

This is the same in Boston. The Boston Tea Party had to jump through all the hoops, fill out all the forms, and pay all the necessary fees. However, the Occupy Boston people don’t have to do any of those things because Mayor Menino and the City Council “Agree” with what they have to say.

Birds of a feather flock together; criminals unite – equal justice, not when Democrats are in power.

‘
OWS wants the ‘Big Government’ to spend more.

They are nothing but a bunch of paid Obama Astro-Turfing brown-shirts.

At least the TEA Party is respectable.

Always a higher standard for conservatives, and we meet it. I would STILL rather be a conservative.

Ivan you are a 1st class moron.
The Tea Party helped the Republicans take control of the house. Your loser of a president and Harry Reid are the main reason nothing is getting done.

The OWS want free college tuition and all of their loans forgiven. They want a free ride at MY expense. They are mostly a bunch of Marxists and American NAZI Party members as well as SEIU thugs

Ivan – guess you didn’t see what we accomplished last November – idiot!

You KNOW DAM N WELL the Mayor is a democrat simply by the fact that it’s left out in the story because if he WAS a GOP member or Tea party member they’d be excoriating him in the story and nationwide for breaking the rules and his obviously sick partisan way of running the city.

SO YES he’s a dem and a black one at that. http://www.politifact.com/personalities/dwight-jones/

Who are you calling a racist? You need to wise up.

i think he was being sarcastic.

YOU DID ABSOLUTLY NOthing …. wake up and smell THE COFFEE!!

OWS’ goal is to have the government spend far MORE money, not less. They are the anti-thesis to the Tea Party. Nice try.

I KNEW it! I said last week that if Tea Partiers were making life miserable for the residents around Zuccoti park like OWS is doing, it wouldn’t be tolerated for 1 minute. Now this in Richmond. These people are being held to a different standard than the Tea Party, although the TP is demonstrably better behaved than Occupy is. Why is that? I’m glad to see the TP standing up.

Sue the city of Richmond for the cost of the permits and insurance required.

Make sure the voters know that the city is all for collecting fees unless the group using the public area is comprised of Socialists/Democrats.

it was a joke John, relax.

LOL…ok the house changing from D to R was nothing. LOL. All the senate seats, mayoral races, and gubernatorial races were nothing. LOL.

Ivan, go soak your head.

OWS is unwashed and in desperate need of a bath. They are also Acorn members who want to bring down everything that is sacred in America. Finally, I can call them lazy, because they are lazy.

HEY, DING DONG … I HATE OBAMA WITH PASSION. AS TO THE KIDS, HOPEFULLY YOU GET A TASTE OF THE PARENT PLUS LOAN, MORON!!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FRAUD!!!!

Nazis and pro-obamas mix well … WAKE UP, MORON! thats LAUGHABLE!

hear, hear! We’re not afraid of high standadrds!

*standards

Well you are for one…that’s no obvious

And the mayor is black so there you go

This post shows the problem with our education system. Here we have someone using a term incorrectly. Racisim is a legal term defined by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended. What is happening here is preferential treatment of one group (OWS) over another (TEA Party) and using the power of the Government to disenfranchise them. Oh I am sorry, that was a big word to mean to deprived of power or marginalize them.

Ivan,
Relax and stop screaming. What part f the story is inaccurate?

well, they did compensate the ship’s owner and were very careful to not damage any goods or materials other than the tea…so, I guess you’re right

The tea party had to get permits to gather in Washington D.C., provided portapotties for the people attending, everyone bought their own food and when the tea party left, Washington was clean. Can’t say the same about the flea party. Don’t even try to compare these misinformed and demanding babies to the grownups.

What they DON’T want is to provide for freeloaders! Did you see the report from OWS about the protest of the volunteer cooks? They are unhappy because actual homeless people are showing up for the freebies! Oh, the irony!

I read they want to end the FED and SEND BERNANKE PACKING. THATS MORE REPUBLICAN THEN THE TEA PARTY!!! GET INFORMED, DONT TRUST THE NEWS, DONT YOU RECALL WHAT THEY DID TO THE TEABAGGERS?

Btw,

How much has obama spent since you fools changed the house? I can’t count it all … GD MEGA TTRRRIILLLLIONSSSS!!!! PRICE OF OIL IS GOING THROUGH THE ROOF!!! WE ARE GOING TO ALL PAY SO OBAMA CAN PLAY!!!

Let me Illuminate the situation for you guys because most all of you are in the dark. Don’t fall into the trap of divide and conquer. The tea party has been high jacked bythe global establishment order. Now they r trying to do the same with occupy. A house divided falls on its self. You morons need to wake up the NWO and how it works and get your butts on the streets too!

It must really hurt you to see how lame Occupy is! Think I’ll stick with the Tea Party. They can protest AND bring home the bacon! And they always clean up after themselves.

I’m guessing that’s sarcasm

The Tea Partiers are Named after an insanely huge act of Burglary, and stolen property. How can they achieve integral progress, when they’re aiming to suppress actual patriots? It’s micromanaging with pure gaul.

So long as you people remain divided, You will accomplish nothing. How childish to mock these protestors who have “more stones” then Tea party Members. What did You accomplish? At least they are in it for the LT. While You rant, WS just got another handout. Guess what? YOUR tax dollars were involved -in billions- through the IMF. You are bailing out EU and Shouting Insults at OWS!!! THOSE LAZY DB GREEKS ARE EATING FREE CHEESE AND YOU WERE TAXED FOR IT!!!

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!

BTW,

I WANT ALL THOSE Dbs COLLECTING “TAX REFUNDS” OFF CHILDREN MADE TO REPAY THE GOVERNMENT! YOU want to have children, YOU pay for it, Don’t ask me.

I wondered about his political affiliation. Wikipedia has him listed as an Independent, but both Project Vote Smart and Follow the Money identify him as a Democrat. Interesting.

And accomplish nothing in the process!

Woot! Give it up for mediocrity!

Ivan put down the bong and come up for air. You are ranting incoherently.

The Flea Party is named after a hugely insane bunch of urban terrorists who don’t have the decency to even try to follow the law, e.g. permits, porta potties, garbage collection, etc. so take your BS somewhere else where they don’t know the difference.

Ivan please put down the bong you are making a complete ass of yourself!

The right to assemble is not absolute. Government has the right to place reasonable restrictions on speech and assembly (e.g. requiring permits). The fact that the Tea Party followed the law and these people ignore it just shows the difference between the two groups.

Bob the racist speaks

That’s called anarchy.

And the Tea Party followed the rules because the city required them to.

“As the person in charge of the 2009 event, Owens said Richmond officials dictated the number of police and emergency personnel they were required to have on site and required a $1 million liability policy to protect the city.”

You are right but, it just shows all of us that the tea party had class and the OWS crowd as zero class.

This just in…you are a complete idiot. The right to assemble does not mean the right to disobey laws & codes you dim wit. I think I am going to assemble in your living room for the next few months. Or perhaps not since your living room is probably your parent’s basement.

One more reason why I used to live in Richmond. I will continue to enjoy the solitude between the center of the universe and Montpelier!

Oh, okay, I get it.
You don’t like the Tea Party, so the fees and insurance they were ordered to carry for a SINGLE DAY EVENT are just fine with you.
On the other hand, these Occupy malcontents are people you like, so it’s perfectly okay with you for them to spend weeks on end in the same public square that the Tea Party was charged to use.
Please tell me where I’m wrong.

Yes, because all great society changing protests throughout history had all the right permits and enough porta potties for those involved. Hey Tea Party, this is what a REAL protest looks like. Stop whining and join them.

No, there were multiple occasions where Tea Party protesters had to cease and desist because they didn’t have proper permits. This obvious discrepancy is very sad…apparently free speech only applies to the left.

Because we are a nation of laws. If you allow one group to break them and then enforce them against another group, it violatates the constiituional principal of Equal Treatment Under the Law.

Tea Party is so ‘RESPECTABLE’, they are a cross between Mother Theresa and Cub Scouts! I have been in crowds of thousands of Tea Party people and never even heard one curse word! When people bump into one another they say ‘Excuse me!”, they stoop to pick up chewing gum wrappers off the curb, and they shake the hands of law enforcement people and thank them for the work they do! That would seem to be in the CONTRAST arena. Where’s the ‘COMPARE’? Neither is happy with what is going on in government?

“teabaggers”??

I’d rather the future of America get their loans forgiven than the thieving bankers who got us all in this mess.

I thought the Tea Party was anti pork.

Your hypocrasy strikes again

@ J Kimbrell
I thought the Tea Party was anti pork.

Your hypocrasy strikes again

Don’t take the brown acid!
I repeat…DON’T TAKE THE BROWN ACID!

Please seek intensive psychological treatment forthwith.

Make sure you get that aluminum foil hat sized properly, and get yourself some new binoculars so you can better scan the skyline for those black helicopters.

We are losing our country to the mob. Simple as that. And we are allowing that to happen/. So we deserve the consequences.

Oh, okay Wes, yet you have not a word of condemnation for the requirements put on the Tea Party when they held a single day event.
In other words, you’re a scofflaw, and clearly perfectly content to watch unequal treatment so flagrantly on parade.
The difference between you and the people in the Tea Party is that the Tea Party would have come to the defense of these Occupy malcontents if the roles were reversed.
Moron

Ivan, what did we accomplish? Control of the House of Representatives.

Tea party should get a judgemen against cityt to reimburse them for the expenses they had incurred since the flea party did not pay.

Well, THAT was certainly coherent.
Put down the crack pipe now.

Sure, as soon as Soros or Obumbler ante up for the Occupy crowd. The rules are the rules. Treating American citizens unequally is not constitutional. Nor is it good management for the city, which has exposed itself to liability for nor requiring the insurance policy policy the Tea partiers had to pay for. Oh yeah, I forgot—Democrats don’t give a damn how they spend or manage other people’s money.

Pretty scary situation. Have we of reasonable minds now lost the country to anarchy?

Oh yeah…nothing.
The biggest election turnover since the days of Warren Harding.
Accomplished nothing?
Bwahahaha!

Tea party should definitely get a judgement against city for bogus costs incurred since no one else pays similar costs for their events.

Our butts are at work paying for the butts in the streets.

They’ll go home when they run out of pot to smoke.

where is my comment?

She was talking about earning a paycheck, chucklehead.
Good lord!

Jim- you are obviously mentally deficient. Tea Party already paid. We understand that it is unfair to make others pay for something they do not participate in.

Your team, are showing their belief that they believe what theirs is theirs and what’s mine is theirs. It is theft. Most tea Party members are of the 53% of the taxpayers. And we still paid more to protest.

OWS however are societal leaches. And you are proving the point.

BTW- you should just have Acorn pay for the permits and clean-up, since they installed this astro-turf clown show anyway. Or maybe the economy-destroyer George Soros, darling billionaire of the left. What a schmuck you are.

Wes, the Tea Party wasn’t a protest… It was a political gathering with the intention of making change through use of the election process and within the law. The OWS weenies are nothing more than a complaining group of weenies that want change because they say so, and without any definition.

Wes….to quote “What a fool believes, no wise man has the power to reason away”….

Simple-next Tea Party is a Free Party! Put the permit $ in escrow for the city, collectible as soon as the OWS pays THEIR bill to the Gubermeint!

And they wonder why they are run out of office. This bastrad needs to be impeached.

Ivan… Your logic is a mess. First, the republicans in congress are in favor of the Fed… The tea party wants to end the fed. The new tea patty members in congress have only been there a few months, and already have stop congress (including the Republican old guard) from spending mass amounts of money. If Beohner had any balls, we wouldn’t be suffering with the results ofnhis poor negotiating skills.

okay, this is why i switched from the TEA party to the Occupy. A bunch of unwashed hippies and misled young kids? of course they are! Nonetheless, applying for permits from the same broken establishment you are protesting really defeats the purpose, all you are doing is paying them for the right to stand up for your rights. Of course the TEA party shouldn’t have forked over the money. The two million man march achieved what? Control of the house? And yet the global banking cartels are still in power. Of course, those of you who consider us ‘conspiracy theorists’ can happily vote for Rick Perry or Boehner or whatever other globalist stooge you want. seriously, if you ‘mature adults’ had just joined them, the divide and conquer strategy would have fallen apart. Instead, the GOP pulled out a bunch of flags and bibles and you fell back in line. Baa, baa. Get off your butts and go make a real difference, before the worldwide revolution against the NWO becomes the global communist revolution. Do you really think these teenagers and young adults have any chance of knowing what’s going on? You fell for Glenn Beck and O’Reilly, and you blame them for making the same mistakes.
Be an adult, stop whining and get back to DC. After all, the bailouts you protested still happened, and keep on happening.

exactly. but the TEA party was purchased by the GOP, also known as the Democrat Lite. Now instead of making a difference they watch the mainstream media and believe it. Have any of you been to the OWS? How about before the paid union thugs took over? You know, they were there for two whole weeks before the union thugs and the DNC hijacked it, but you don’t see the Don’t Tread On Me Flags on Fox News, do you?

You mean, the crowd screaming for others to pay their “fair share” in taxes, are unwilling to pay THEIR “fair share” in permits and such?? nahhh….. say it isn’t so?

We’re Taxed Enough Already but more than willing to impose more taxes, fees and fines on those people over there. No hypocrisy here, seriously.

Folks,
You will not have freedom until you are willing to allow your neighbors to be free as well. Maintain an adversarial relationship with your neighbors and don’t act surprised when they call the gov’t guns in on you.

That’s not entirely true. The TEA party name was actually adopted because the original tea party and Taxed Enough Already happen to apply to the movement.
The movement of OWS is mostly bowel.

And your “small government” republicans can only manage to cut $2 trillion from a proposed increase of $10 trillion. Guess what that means. Gov’t is still getting bigger, everyday, just like it has every time the republicans have had control of congress in my life. Time to stop the small gov’t lies.

Fool me once – Shame on you
Fool me twice – Shame on me

Sniff THIS, you schmuck.

Ding Ding Ding!!!! We have a winner folks!!

And soon to be control of EVERYTHING as soon as we throw the bums out in 2012!!!
Yeah, you wait….
Most people see this “protest” for what it is. Nothing but a bunch of communist kids doing what their prefessers told them to do, communist union thugs, and other communist being PAID to be there.
That’s ONE reason the Tea Party didn’t stay for days and weeks. WE HAVE JOBS and BUSINESSES TO RUN!!

[...] Tea Party to Mayor: Make ‘Occupy Richmond’ Pay Up [...]

If he’s not being sarcastic, he’s being an idiot.

What a bunch of whiners.” Waaaaa, we had to get permits, why don’ t they? No fair Mommy! Tell Jimmy to stop! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”

I can’t remember the last time the nation was able to witness the embarrassingly sanctimonious nonsense of the right so clearly. Every day and on virtually every forum where OWS protests are being discussed, one finds comments like those here, asserting the superiority, moral and otherwise, of the Tea Party and conservatives in general . You folks appear not to appreciate that most Americans are far more accepting of others than you are. Most Americans don’t nod in agreement when you repeat the mocking mantras about dirty smelly lazy pot smoking hippie communists. This ridicule honestly makes me sick. Fortunately most thinking Americans know this is just more of the same ugly conservative nonsense that’s been around since Nixon and Agnew were wailing about hippies and appealing to the “silent majority”. Some things never change.

The Tea Party was wrong to paid the fees etc? Really? The yperformed a lawful act in a lawful manner in a country where the rule of law is supreme. They acheived the take over of the House – which was in play – not the Senate yet – and have been giving the established Dems and Repubs in the House and Senate (where they can) fits – Pelosi is gone; boehner has never cried so much. The OWS? – bbunch of frick’in antisocial, anarchist, Marxist cry babies! Now they don’t want to share food with the homeless! Now they are crying about other OWS folks ripping off their computers, iPads, etc and what the police to help them – even though they are breaking the law and committing an uncivil act because they did not have the brains or morality (yes, morality) to simply apply for permits and pay for it. They are PARASITES. You can’t explain it any other way. The 99%? No – the economic, vitality sucking lazyass whiners that unwed mothers, socialist educational system, and nanny state policies have created. Frankly – I wish Mother Nature” would simply have a good old earthquake or veerrrry deeeeppp sink hole open up in these parks and “cleanse” the PARASITES from our midsts!

Conservative yet with a stash my beloved NRA has fought so hard for us to keep for this reason. God help us, i don’t want that.

Dave the clean up will be when the freedom loving hard working Americans stand up and say no more. Its not going to be pretty, the answer is pointing straight to this. This up rise was brought on by Obama the great divider the day i heard he tweeted i knew we were in for trouble, i read about OWS about three months before and was told by many wont happen. Just wait two weeks from now it’s going to multiply in violence. Anybody but Obama for president, he did not let me down i saw it all along. I am for Cain so far, although i would be better than all of them but hung by the press for having a life with a past that isn’t perfect. I do have the first and on birth certificate issued on me which i will be demanding from now on.

FYI, Wikipedia is biased to the left. The bias is subtle, but it’s definately there.

The idiot is afraid of the Occupy protesters. They are thugs and hoodlums and will occupy HIS house. Low life bottom feeders are the Occupy Wall Street people. They don’t want jobs; they want more welfare! That is their dumb mentality. Morons.

No one runs out of that in this country.

It’s not too late to spank these snot-nosed brats.

LOL! But I’m not so sure Mayor Menino and the Boston City Council agree with the Patriots’ views.

I agree!!

Montpelier Vt….all communists or socialists. No in-between.

Isn’t it obvious why the TP had to pay up? The mayor knew that the Koch Bros. would readily finance their Party’s “protest” and so why not make some extra dough for the city? Good luck trying to get a penny from the OWS protestors.

Winter is coming.

HUH? Tea Party hiijacked??? Hardly

Some protesters are more equal than others.

No Canof Sand, that title is reserved for people, well, just like you.

Sniffit, I was taught that the first person to call racist is in fact the racist. Bob is correct and you are racist.

Did you see where the kitchen help at OWS is complaining because the homeless people are posing as protesters to get free food? But OWS doesn’t want to share their FREE food? now is that being a hypocrit or what ? They want some of rich peoples money but when something is taken from them they don’t like it awwww poor babies getting free food and don’t want to share its not fair!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK AND GO THE HELL HOME!!! LOOK FOR A J. O. B.

Pretty much. It’s going to get a lot uglier with the usurber-in-chief in the WH. Stock up and lock and load.

To quote Mr. Church, beer beer.

Abbey – Montpelier, Virginia, not Vermont. Center of the Universe is Ashland, VA, so she is basically in a rural area, within commuting distance of Richmond, but unaffected by its problems

What did we accomplish? The biggest shelacking of liberals since 1938 in the elections of 2010. And that was just the warmup to 2012.

Very well said, This hits the nail on the head. Brilliant!!!

Tea Party sympathizers should perhaps help the cause by emailing, faxing and calling those city officials that are displaying an obvious prejudice. There are more of us then them.

Same reason ILLEGAL immigrants don’t have to follow the law. The message being that law abiding citizens are stupid.

No I think he is asking for Koch brothers to pay for the Occuturds, not the TEA Party, Jim knows that the Tea Party folks are responsible to pay for themselves, its the Occuturds that want soething for nothing nd the Koch brothers have stuff they want so the better give it up or else they are going to make you city an undesirable place to be. too bad

I’m sure the check is in the mail. Probably feces stained.

Time to get off the White House talking points. Where is your PROOF that the Koch brothers are paying any Tea Party member????? However, Geroge Soros has not been shy about his financial support of OCCUPY XXXXX.

Such a difference between these guys in the Tea Party ..So glad I’m on on the side I’m on. .. and Obama’s slogan is “we can’t wait” ?? Guess what … We can’t either … oh yeah, bring on Nov. 6, 2012

Liberals should thank Gaia every day that conservatives are law-abiding. They wouldn’t like it very much if we weren’t. You see, the “silent majority” and the “sleeping giant” are the same thing.

I saw that, kind of ironic. Here you have upper middle class punks supposedly protesting for teh down and out and yet they don’t want to eat next tot the down and out. They offer free food to anyone but the homeless.

f you would like researching a subject without the liberal bias, try Conservapedia.

You’re right about one thing Bob, some of these people need to go back to school. When I read these posts, I sometimes just sit here and scratch my head wondering, what in the world are they trying to say? Please, folks keep it simple. Don’t try to be cute or witty. You end up looking like an uneducated idiot.

The Tea Party made the mistake of following the legal code.
If the follow the law as private citizens they too would
lawfully have no need to pay any fees or purchase insurance.
As A private man they would only be liable for ‘harm and damage done
to an injured party’.

The mayor is a Thug Democrat using his position to dish out punishment and rewards that please himself. It is not what civilized people do. It is 3rd world.

It’s Bush’s Fault!

Some years ago my sister-in-law had debates about outbased education, which was where they taught ‘there are no wrong answers,’ and ‘built the children’s self-esteem,’ even when they put forth no effort. I remember telling her it’ll be interesting when these kids graduate and get out in the real world and realize all that phony esteem stuff doesn’t apply. That’s what we’re seeing with these occupy people. They thought they’d graduate and get six figure jobs, when reality dictates what it’s always been, you have to work hard to get there. They don’t want to work hard, they’d rather whine.

The Koch brothers are Jewish. This explains as much of the leftist Democrats hatred for them.

Yeah, they are conservative and give to conservative causes, but the only Jewish people the communist left tolerates are self-hating “liberal” (I hate that term because it has nothing to do with liberty) Jews. The communist are never happy, but Jew hating makes them a little less miserable. Lefties are sick.

our current government assures the tea party of today is no less valid than in 1773. lines are being drawn and choices will have to be made. our framers accounted for it. paper pitchforks are being sharpened for next november. that is if occupy does not force an issue before then. if push does come to shove, their adolescent intellect will realize that the spirit of 1773, will be no party at all. occupation will fall. as for richmond city, kingdom of mediocrity and racist politics. once an idea becomes any more legitimate than pretending (occupy movement), it moves to a real city. unless of course there is a beer truck and band.

Isn’t it great when our government shackles freedom with excessive regulation and then selectively enforces, or ignores, the very rules they use to control the citizenry?

All Massachusetts people who like the Occupy Wall Street idea should consider Elizabeth Warren for Senator. She is taking credit for it.

Universal application of the law is what the republic rests. Special privileges and cronyisms wilol not do. Good for teaparty to point out to mayor the double standard on ofees and regulations with independent tea party and the Demcoratic based OWS Richmond.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Never thought I’d really see “1984″ and “Animal Farm” come true in my lifetime – can’t happen here! Huh.

Of course nowadays the spoiled kiddies don’t have to read and understand things like that – not the right kind of propaganda appropriate to creating a socialist state.

Bob, you can’t use another big word to explain a big word to a small mind.

Clearly Richmond’s City Hall is on-board with Radical Socialism.

I wonder if they’ll still feel those warm and fuzzies when the Commies torch their downtown businesses?

File under: “Know your enemy”

Dear anonymous, do you not know what Obama and Soros stand for? Do you not know that the American Nazi and Communist parties both support the occupiers? Do you not know that the unions are behind this also? Don’t you know that stupid young people are the ones used by the communists to bring about revolution? You need to go back and study your history. Communist demonize capitalism and urge the proletariat to rise up overthrow the existing government so they can install a communist dictatorship. Then they go out and kill all those who brought them into power because they know they are the ones who will give them the most trouble. We have a lot of problems in our country but the solution is not to change toward socialism or communism but rather to move back to what made us great to begin with, limited government and freedom.

We are no longer a country of laws. We are a country of Liberals.

When government refuses to apply equal treatment under the law, it is tyranny.

Some people are more equal than others … especially if they hate AMerica and are marxist filth.

“free rein” not “free reign”

I attended both Boston TEA Parties and agree, “Mumbles” Menino is a waste of protoplasm.

Other Tea Party organizations should follow this example. Sue the folks that let this go on. First and foremost NY “major” (using this term for him loosely) Bloomberg. Its costing law abiding tax payers too much money to protect this leftist financed crowd from itself. If they (the ows crowd) would want to demonstrate anything/ anywhere they should camp out on the White House lawn and blame our “fearless” “miss-leader in chief” and his party.

My goodness! How can you expect the “99%” to follow the same rules as the “1%”??? Foolish people.

The difference is perfectly clear:

One group is hard-working, law-abiding, baby boomers, working within the system for a return to fiscal sanity.

The other is a mob of dope-smoking, trust-fund babies burning the city down demanding “free stuff” from a monster government required to provide it.

Pick one.

I’ll just bet you thought that was a pithy and witty response, didn’t you?
Typical double standard from the hypocrites on the left.

Oh, so poor, unemployed people shouldn’t be allowed to protest.
Gotta have money to protest. Typical pig logic of the greedy and selfish.

Need to vote this jerk of mayor out of office!!!

I think her anger stems from not being a real person. the tea party isn’t a real party so the people in it aren’t real people and everybody knows people who aren’t real people don’t have real people rights. not even on christmaS.

Try using different wording. Some sites screen for certain words. Often times it’s censoring obscenity, but Iv’e had sites filter my comments for political bias. Think: about what Key Words you using. T r y s p a c i n g T h o s e w o r d s.

Bob, get back to the protest, they need their Dictionary back.

Actual patriots? Based on the definition of whom?
You hypocrites on the left don’t get to dictate what is and isn’t patriotic – you blindly attack a majority of Americans, who ARE NOT LIBERAL, and are incapable of actually defending your ideology without mindless attacks.
Sooner or later you’ll grow up and realize ideology does not equal intellect… then again, probably not.

A bunch of lazy commie pinkos trying to develop more wards of the state, so that they’ll have a vote base in the future. It is criminal. Use the RICO laws to prosecute those looking the other way and enabling these losers.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

The mayor is a racist thug! He is showing that he does not treat all people the same way and oviously he feels some are better then other! If you are tea party then you are no worthy…… Bill the city and sue his worthless ass.

Sadly Richmond for far too many years has be run , managed and destroyed by Black far leftist Politicians .This 78 % Black City is a Welfare Slum with Sky High taxes .
50 % Nationally don’t pay taxes . 67 % of Blacks in Richmond don’t pay taxes and get back 2-5 K .
Meaning the top white 20 % 94.5 % of al taxes in Richmond .
Much like Philly and NYCity .
Far lefty Mayor Jones will let the MARXIST off the took guaranteed !

What a surprise, liberals think that laws don’t apply to them and everyone owes them something. I will never understand the whole self entitlement mentality. If you want more, do more. Life isn’t easy but it rewards hard work.

Maybe the ACLU will see this as a travesty of justice and take up the Tea Party’s case?

Dream on!

Sounds just like what the liar and chief occupying the White House has been doing.

[...] This just goes to show how stupid the members of the Tea Party actually are — that they would seriously expect some consistency and equal application of the law from a Liberal Establishment. [...]

The cites are controlled by Marxists and Democrats.. They are anti freedom and rabble can come in, but Americans demanding that their voices be heard have to jump through hoops.. Imagine he riots on Election night when the TEA Party wins in a landslide

[...] DOUBLE STANDARD: After nearly three weeks of protests and overnight stays in Kanawha Plaza, the Richmond Tea Party is about to send Jones a bill for about $8,000 on the basis that “Occupy Richmond” has been using the area illegally and for free. [...]

That’s all you got? Soros is so much richer than the Koch Brothers. Jim, you are obviously a moocher who demands what other people have earned as your “right”.

never happen, the majority of the people in the city are parasites living off of the rest.

this is another example of what I’ve been saying for some time….the democrats have saturated the government at every level and have turned the government against the majority….the government, the press and many institutions have waged a war against a large portion of our population who are not socialist…..you get special treatment is you are a leftist socialist and scorn or demogoguery if you are anything else….wake up America the enmy has infiltrated our government and they mean you harm

Well, They are probably taking it so easy on them because anything else would be like picking on the mentally handicapped kid.

Please do not confuse Anarchy with Socialism. These are two different things. If you want to see a rather “Conservative” perspective on Anarchy please visit zerogov.com or adamvstheman.com Both are anarchists, but not liberal. Both view the OWS movement as ultra-liberal/semi-communist movements designed to use the force of government to take property from other citizens. Do not fall for the talking heads’ arguments that try to pigeonhole these protestors into different familiar political ideology. Anarchy and Socialism are two very different perspectives like Feudalism and Republicanism only more dramatic. This is not a sliding scale, political ideology, but a sphere. Do your homework and read up on Anarchy before you lump them in with socialists. It is kind of like lumping Tea Party members into the Democratic Party, or OWS into Corpratistism.

Yep, I suppose that while Sniffit may be a racist but he certainly is a bigot. That means he is an equal opportunity hater, hates everyone who disagrees with him. He reminds me of the Nazi Party and the KKK. They hate everyone different than themselves and I think that fits Mr. (glue) Sniffit to a tee.
There is also a bonus when you are a liberal bigot, like a menu in a Chinese restaurant where with egg roll you get soup; here with hatred you get hypocrisy. They are the first to accuse others of either doing what they are doing or of having their faults as way to cover up their own disgusting personalities. Hey but it is the Alyinski way, that’s how they do it.
That’s the Mayor Dwight Clinton Jones way of doing it. Two peas in a pod these two, the odd couple.
Rich in New Mexico.

That’s what you get for asking for permission Tea Partiers.

Next time, don’t.

here it is in a nutshell…president Obama and the democrats are organizing and controlling the nit wits ….and they don’t have to follow the rules

An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics. Plutarch d AD 120

Well, we would have been thrown in jail by your party. No permits purchased by Tea Party – throw them in the jail. That’s exactly what would have happened, and, if you were an honest soul, you would admit it.
Tea Party folks are not lawless. We just want our country back from people who are.

It is fair for any organization to pay for meeting in city land or else the city is showing favortism.

The Tea Party stands for Taxed Enough Already.

While “insanely huge act of burglary and stolen property” is spot on-it’s the GOVERNMENT doing so- using “equality” and “fairness” as the smoke screen to justify their theft.

PS: Why don’t you address why one had to pay fees and the other does not?
Answer: Because you have no problem with the double standard, so long as it benefits your side.

Grow up kid.

Tea party led by sarah palin and michele bachmann..talk about pathetic.. Never seen so many uneducated people as in the tea party..all spew the fox news talking points and listen to glen beck..control of the house and what has been accomplished…nothing…r disappointment is all the tea party has to show for itself.Citigroup pays 285 million to settlement to the us securities exchange commission to settle charges that is swindled institutional investments like pension funds in a billion-dollar scam..let you do the research on this.(.hopefully some tea-party people will take the time to educate themselves)..institutions like citibank are the biggest welfare bums of all time..Wall street bankers whose fraudulent schemes caused millions of ordinary americans to lose their homes,however,got goverment bailouts,returned to business as usual,instead of going to jail…I know if i decided to embezzle so money i would go to jail..so the rule of law you speak about applies to who???

“Some animals are more equal than others”

Orwell was spot on in seeing the future Democrat Party. Right down to the “newspeak” they use.

This fits with the Left’s Orwellian views. Some are more equal than others.

[...] “We’re forced to comply with the laws, but yet they don’t have to,” she said. “That’s such a blatantly unequal application of the laws.” Source: CBSWashington [...]

He/she/it who uses ad hominems first is the loser.

You lose Pinky

You began life here by calling somebody a racist. That makes you a loser from birth.

Weak attempt to change the subject. The point of this discussion is the clear and present disparate treatment of citizens by the government of the city. You have not reasonable answer so you start throwing everything you can think of against the wall in hope that something will stick.

The Democratic Party had control of both houses for the first two years of Obama’s presidency. Why weren’t they concerned about jobs then – when they could have passed a jobs bill if they saw fit? Oh I forgot – it is getting close to elections and they needed to blame the Republicans. How pathetic this administration is. A lot of empty suits.

The Tea Party should file a lawsuit, seek redress with damages.

Not to mention that fact that you’re mean-spirited, cruel in tone, self-indulged, and just another uneducated high school drop out (or soon to be) bound for an early grave (if prison don’t save you from it)..

Good luck!

What are you talking about – the tea party is against the bail outs and to big to fail institutions. You sound like a person that just spouts out what they hear without looking into the facts. The Tea Party is all about personal responsibility for individuals and corporations. No hand outs no bail outs no proping up unions. Free market economy and apply the laws equally across the board

Richmond needs to either charge occupy the same fees, or return the tea parties funds back to them in total. If they don’t – sue the city! Hypocritical lying thieving liberals and democrats need to be taken to task!

Who sounds uneducated? (hint: You! ) Surveys have repeatedly shown the Tea Party folks to be better educated, more generous, more law-abiding and more knowledgeable about U.S. history and the Constitution.

Scott, your venom is so obvious it is laughable..
Issue is to obey the laws of the park, to pay the fees everyone else has to pay….

Anything else you bring up is a laughable red Herring of lies, distortions and make believe world you live in…. Have Fun… and sober up.

Either they need to reimburse the Tea Party for anything the OWS people have not paid for, OR Bill the OWS the same as the Tea Party. No special treatment.

True. Polite, clean and respectful. They also wotk to support themselves instead of hanging out in the park for weeks. Only the “Occupy” crowd can afford to do that.

Can you imagine what would have happened if they hadn’t done it, though? Big news all over the liberal stations!

[...] Tea Party demands ‘Occupy Richmond’ pay same fees… http://washington.cbslocal.com/2011/10/27/tea-party-to-mayor-make-occupy-richmond-pay-up/ [...]

and that top 20% spend most of their time worshipping their ancestors. They love to greet a newcomer and ask all kinds of questions about them as if they are really interested in them. The next day they are useing that information to identify how they are better than the new guy. They deserve to pay and get nothing in return. Hahahaha.

Lovely place. The premiere Richmond country club, Country Club of Virginia, doesn’t allow Jews, Blacks or North Carolinians as members. They once turned down Louis Reynolds, of Reynold’s Metals Co., because he spelled his name with a “y” and was from NC. Lovely crowd. When visiting Richmond remember to set your watch back 150 years.

Since no permits are issued for OWS to use the park, the park should be available for use. If I were the Tea Party I would file a permit request to use the park this weekend and next weekend for an event. Since it is not reserved, the city should be forced to clear it and give it to the people with the proper permits.

Conservatives need to boycott by not visiting these cities. These thugs don’t spend money like we would.

Why are the tea party complaining. They decided to pay for their right of free speech and assembly. It’s not anyones fault but theirs. They should have taken the case to court appeald it to the highest level and tried to “win” our rights back at the federal level. Instead they through money at it so they could protest. That the problem guys…. not everyone has money to put this stuff together but everyone is supposed to have the right to .

Boy, you really drank your Kool Aid today. Banks only did what they were told to do my the henchmen of the Democrat party; Frank, Dodd, etc. Just tell me one cohesive statement make by the Occupyers that says anything except what the Dems want and I will shut up.

When our city tried to extort money from my Tea Party group for holding a rally in a PUBLIC PARK, we stood up to them and told them we didn’t have to PAY for our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to peaceably assemble. The city backed down and we held our rally.

This Richmond Tea Party group is a bunch of wimps for grovelling to the city and paying for something that the Constitution GUARANTEES them as a RIGHT.

You should stop drinking the obamacnnmsnbc koolaid, maybe then your head would clear. This is a typical rant of a leftie who has no logical point to discuss. If you Occupiers really wanted to change something, you would organize people to take their business away from the companies you have a dispute with. Stop whining and do something constructive. Otherwise, pay for your permits and go back to your parents’ basement and sponge off of them.

Scott, you are a total idiot. Aside from the fact that the Tea Party was against bank bailouts from the get go – you need to come to grips with the fact that not one single American lost their homes due to being swindled by banks. They lost their homes because of their own pathetic greed – buying more home than they could afford and thinking that they could always scam the system by refinancing.

They tried to do in their own personal lives exactly what the democrats want to do with federal government finances.

AdBusters who started the Flea Party is an “anti-consumerist” publication financed by, among other sources, the Georgie Soros-funded Tides Foundation. Dissent is fine but the leaders such as AdBusters want this obituary:

Born 1776, Died 2012

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinborough, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover

that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.”

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage.”

We must not let the new Bolsheviks write the obituary – read all about the 20 million DEAD

Wrong.

When our city tried to extort money from my Tea Party group for holding a rally in a PUBLIC PARK, we stood up to them and told them we didn’t have to PAY for our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to peaceably assemble. The city backed down and we held our rally.

This Richmond Tea Party group is a bunch of wimps for grovelling to the city and paying for something that the Constitution GUARANTEES them as a RIGHT.

I think Scott must be hunkering in one of those filthy tents, eating donated food, refusing to shower, and partaking in the free drugs available at the “occupy” events, all the while blogging away on his $5,000 iMac, poll-parroting the leftist party line as dictated by the main-stream media.
Hey, Scott, buddy, out down your copy of the Communist Manifesto, take off your Che t-shirt, turn off Michael Moore’s latest propaganda piece and try thinking for yourself for a change.
Who knows, you might learn something.

Regulas
It’s Liar and Thief

they should pay more since they leave 100000% more garbage than a tea party gathering.

they are the flea party

Blah, blah, blah……….. You whiny, pathetic,Marxist slugs always find it necessary to attack the people and entities that most contrast with you, and clearly show your intellectual bankruptcy. The sweet irony of you idiots complaining about the deadbeats crashing your ‘gathering of morons’ in NYC is lost on you, i’m sure.

Uneducated? I challenge you to a debate – on any topic.

I also offer you tutoring on proper writing skills, spelling, usage, punctuation, capitalization, and fact checking.

In the spirit of capitalism, my fee is large…

who can b e more pathic than the loser doing the protesting . old hippies, sociialist, communist, momma boys like you, homeless, and all of them have no idea why they are there.

Scott, you are bringing feelings to a fact fight. Look up the facts and correct this garbage.

Tea Party folks also use proper capitalization and punctuation when they type… you ought to try it sometime!

I support OWS. I have been a lifelong republican, and in fact I voted for Pat Buchanan in 2000. I am extremely conservative. But the republican party only cares about the elites now, and the middle class is disposable to them. The republican corporate CEOs and CFOs have shipped millions of middle class jobs to China, India and Mexico and who knows where else. All electronic manufacturing here in TX has gone elsewhere. So, from now on I am voting democratic. No, I don’t think democrats have the solution either. But, republicans just want the OWS people back in their parents basement or back to their homeless shelters. I haven’t been able to find a job in 2.5 years, and I’m a good electronics technician. I will be voting democrat from now on until the republican cares about the middle class again.

THRY DON’T WANT TO WORK, THEY WANT EVERYTHING GIVEN TO THEM….

Equal protection under the law?

Some are more equal than others….

BE PREPARED.

these occupiers have developed & existed in an “entitlement world”…absent any personal responsibility…of course their socialist caretaker politicians (or their socialist parents) will cheer on their radical behaviors & give them all trophies & more special treatment when they get home

Ivan, then why aren’t the protesters protesting against the ones handing out the bailouts instead of those receiving them?

Local offices are non-partisan. But he leans Dem.

its callled obamajustice

I am definitely a liberal but I think you do a disservice to your cause by making this political. Turn it into what it is, there should be equal treatment for all. I feel the occupy people should be paying if tea party had to. We complain for tax hikes yet walk away from money the city could use for public services? I just want to put in that even crazy liberals can see the logic and fairness sometimes!

Sir, your comment is unenlightened: both groups apparently approached the legal authorities for permits and one was given a sweeter deal than the other. Both knowingly entered into a ‘contract’ with the state; one kept it the other broke it–with the state winking at the broken contract.

Well then why doesn’t the City just get money for George Soros and SEIU; they could also hunt down the guys that used to be in ACORN because they are the ones funding this “spontaneous” protest.

At this point the country has basically become the Hatfields and McCoys.

It is a giant money laundering game. Don’t collect the fees from the protesters so that they can finance bigger politicians at higher levels. If you collect fees from the conservative crowd, the city gets paid and the bigger conservatives at higher levels get less money to finance campaigns.

Nice idea! I don’t think these people will leave though. Look at what is happening in Oakland, CA. The police moved the protesters because they could not legally be where they were settled. Oakland is now a “poster child” for the movement
