What We Saw at the MoveOn.org D.C. Union Protest: Medea Benjamin, Van Jones, a Kid Holding a "Don't Teabag Me Bro" Sign..

On Saturday Feb. 26, a protest rally was thrown together by MoveOn.org and the SEIU. It just so happened that Code Pink's Medea Benjamin and Barack Obama's former green jobs czar and self-admitted communist Van Jones stopped by to show their support for the 14 Wisconsin State Senators who fled as well as the unions and teachers taking fake sick notes from doctors to stay out and protest. At one point, Van Jones claims that the Tea Party turned off the television after the word 'liberty' and missed the 'and justice for all' part. These people can never get a sentence out without mentioning the Tea Party. Perhaps maybe, just maybe, they're actually frightened of the Tea Party and the power they posses. Not only that, Tea Party rallies are actually attended by people. Jealousy may also play a factor.
