Thousands of Tea Party Protesters, 9/12ers March in Washington D.C.

#ad▼

Tea Party protesters completely blocked Pennsylvania Ave. from 14th Street, NW, to the U.S. Capitol. The large crowds have caused organizers for the event to start the speeches and march earlier than the scheduled 11:30 a.m. time.

The event was organized by FreedomWorks — a conservative organization led by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas) — in conjuction with the Tea Party Movement and other conservative groups as a way to protest current tax policies.

The date and concept were conceived by Fox News personality Glenn Beck, who six months ago organized a 9/12er event — The 9-12 Project, a post-9/11-type event to uplift the spirit that Americans felt in the hours and days after 9/11/2001, when Islamic terrorists attacked New York City and the Pentagon.

Detractors of the event paint the movement as anti-Obama and anti-Democrat. Glenn Beck emphasizes that the protest is against the corruption that is coming from both political parties — and loss of liberties in America.

Writer Michael Stone on the Portland Progressive Examiner describes the 9/12 march in Washington as “Glenn Beck’s self promoted 9-12 project is an attempt at making crazy mainstream, an invitation to treason and civil war. Beck, the Fox News on-air personality. is exploiting 9-11 for his own self aggrandizement. Beck, Fox News, right wing extremists and corporate-backed groups are sponsoring the anti-Obama march.” Stone describes himself as a gypsy scholar and freelance writer — a secular humanist with a passion for politics and protecting the civil liberties of those on the margins of society.

ABC News affiliate in Arlington, Virginia – wjla.com — is not covering the event as of 1:30 p.m. ET.
