Strange Scene: 10 Arrested As Tea Partiers Heckle Police
Christina Bellantoni | November 5, 2009, 4:04PM

U.S. Capitol Police arrested 10 people this afternoon after the Capitol Hill Tea Party crowd stormed Congressional office buildings.

Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, public information office for the Capitol Police, told TPMDC the arrests happened in the Cannon House building as tea partiers attempted to protest Speaker Nancy Pelosi about health care.

They were charged with unlawful entry (entering a Congressional office and refusing to leave when told to do so) and/or disorderly conduct (yelling in the hallway outside an office) at Room 235 in the Cannon House Office Building.

Room 235 is Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office for district business, not where she conducts her duties as Speaker. That's handled at an office in the Capitol building.

8. Now can we censure Mrs. Bachmann for egging them on?

Hmmm . . . eggs and tea bags. Sounds like the kitchen garbage.

[DearAbby]

13. lol...get rid of the garbage

[Cleita]

16. I really hope Mrs. Pelosi has a nice talk with Mrs. Bachmann

about her choice of words that could encite her nutjob followers into thinking that she wants them to start a revolution, which means the overthrow of a sitting government. I think it could be called treason.

[devilgrrl]

9. Oh the DRAMA!!!!

:eyes:

[Kingofalldems]

[Cleita]

11. I'm glad it's them doing this instead of us this time. n/t

[Cass]

12. I wonder if this had something to do with Michelle Bachmann encouraging teabag protestors

to confront congresspeople at the Capitol. IIRC, she said something about seeing the whites of their eyes.

This kind of thing is frightening, there is the real possibility of violence from these people.

[FSogol]

31. Bachmann is inciting a riot. n/t

[Me.]

14. The Spin

Nancy is scared of them and she's subverting their 1st. amendment rights. That is if, in light of the Ft. Hood tragedy this makes it to air.

[Motown_Johnny]

15. So.... Ummm..... does 10 teabags equal 20 nuts???

How many are we talking here ?????



:sarcasm:

[virgogal]

17. Reminds me of the 60's.

[chollybocker]

28. LOL

There's A Riot Goin' On!
;)

[tabasco]

37. Hahahahahaha!

You must not have been there or else you're ignorant.

[virgogal]

43. Goodness,what a nice tolerant answer.

[tabasco]

44. Who said I tolerate idiots?

Is that what Rushbo tells the flock?

[drm604]

39. The 60's protests weren't corporate sponsored. n/t

[peacetalksforall]

18. I am reminded of the door pounders in 2000 Miami-Dade Govt Bldg -

trying to stop the vote count.

Hope there are some good photo images.

Redux? Rove assigned. Last time we learned who the door pounders were - working for DeLay and working in other government positions.

[BREMPRO]

20. wow... 10 whole teabags.... wait till Beck hears about this!- "thousands stormed Pelosi's office"

[DearAbby]

25. As per study from the "Idontrememberthename" University...n/t

[fl_dem]

[Cleita]

26. Or maybe rendered to another country for enhanced interrogation. n/t

[ashling]

27. Maybe they can get there heroine Michelle Crazyasabatman

to bail them out.

[MNDemNY]

29. You mean she was not "leading the charge'? NO?

you mean she is a coward? I find that hard to believe.

[The_Casual_Observer]

32. Imagine going to jail for the cause of big insurance companies.

Talk about being mislead.

[Bitwit1234]

33. Did Bachman hide the coward

She should be arrested for inciting to a riot. It is time this crap stopped.

[Odin2005]

34. The lunatics are coming!

:scared:

[kentuck]

35. PALIN & BACHMAN !

Yay! :-)

[Hekate]

38. Where was their fearless leader? She told them to do this; and said she wanted them armed...

... and dangerous.

Michelle Bachman is a real piece of demagogic work.

Hekate

[Mr. Sparkle]

45. Send them to guantanamo! Quickly, before it closes!

what, i can dream cant i. :evilgrin:

[hughee99]

47. The people in the hall yelling "health care for all" were teabaggers too?

That just seems so unlike them.

[ddeclue]

48. Couldn't they have gotten the job done with just 4 family size teabags?
