Here is the take from Now! Hampshire:
The thousands of taxpayers who gathered in several locations around the Granite State on Tax Day “didn’t even know what they were protesting,” according to the state’s top Democratic Party official.
“They looked like they lost their minds,” said Ray Buckley, Chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party of the protesters.
Buckley’s comments came during a debate against Republican State Chairman and former New Hampshire Governor John Sununu last night. The debate was hosted by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce.
Buckley seemed unwilling to acknowledge tax increases that recently passed the state House of Representatives during the debate. Instead he threw personal barbs at Sununu and protesting taxpayers.
The New Hampshire Advantage Coalition has asked Buckley to apologize.
“It’s unfortunate that Chairman Buckley chooses to make this a republican versus democrat issue, these Tea Parties were in fact about New Hampshire and American issues, issues that the people are yearning for this Congress and our elected leaders to address. Chairman Buckley has blindly followed the lead of other tax and spend politicians, claiming that these participants are ignorant of why they attended these Tea Parties. The message from April 15th couldn’t be clearer, this is our country, this our state, and we are willing to work together to take it back.”
Buckley is...well, Buckley.
Well this is interesting…
It appears our wackadoo friends don’t visit here as often as I has thought…
After my comments about the teabaggers last night made it to the Concord Monitor today suddenly the wackadoo websites are bursting with faux outrage.
My google alerts let me know they are writing about me, but I don’t want their egos enlarged by giving them a “hit” so I only get a line or two of what they are saying but it seems they don’t like my mild description of the teabaggers.
So it appears they didn’t read the more colorful characterizations here and elsewhere.Doing my best to elect NH Democrats since 1968 and getting better at it every year!

I will laugh so hard if the reason his candidates lose in New Hampshire this year is because of his actions.

This guy is a child molestor and he has the nerve to call US 'wackadoos'?? Honestly, what's next?
We knew exactly what we were protesting -- people like him.
Does the person who posted the above comment think that it helps by writing that?
It appears to me that Buckley was commenting on how the rallies were portrayed in the main stream media. Like it or not, the reality is that the focus of many of the rallies was not the message but the goofy theatrics of some. Just because Buckley points that out does not make him the enemy.
Well, in the flashback link I brought up the fact that the guy was brought up on the child porn charges, but were ruled "unfounded." If you watch the video on that link, it illustrates that the guy really has no class regardless.
I haven't taken the comment down only because of the fact that it's already out there.
