On G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show today, producer Franklin Raff, who was on the ground at the rally, told guest host Joseph Farah that the crowd is “just as big or bigger than” the 9/12 rally, which Raff estimated “at about a million.”
Here's an aerial photo of today's Million Anti-Semite March... and yes, Corporate ScumBaggers, there are these newfangled things called "photos" that document events in pictures:
Capitol Hill police told NBC’s Luke Russert that the crowd was about 4,000. At around 2 PM eastern time, Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) posted an aerial picture of the crowd on her TwitPic page, clearly showing a crowd far, far smaller than “a million”.
Maybe the protesters, who apparently thought opposing President Obama's school speech was vital to our nation's well-being, got more health benefits from marching against that than from raising their demented voices against Big Insurance.
BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. -About 70 protesters let their voices be heard outside a school in New Jersey where students sang praise of President Barack Obama. Members of anti-tax Tea Party groups and others joined outside B. Bernice Young School in Burlington Township Monday to denounce what they believe was political indoctrination of students. The school began getting attention from conservative commentators last month after a video surfaced of a group of second-graders singing a song that praised Obama last school year. Protesters sang patriotic anthems and chanted slogans such as "Free children, free minds" and called for the principal to be reassigned.
Not only is this one of the stupidest protests imaginable, but, well, timing is everything. This manufactured controversy is so, like, a zillion superfluous Tea Tantrums ago.
Transcript of Tea Tantrumer Crabill, who makes Sarah the Quitter look nearly sane:
Resolutions passed at the 2009 state convention, resolution number seven in recognition of the tea parties.
Whereas citizens of the United States of American have begun to recognize the destructive nature of the Democrat administration, and the Democrat congress’ taxing and spending and borrowing policies; Whereas under the first amendment of the United States Constitution citizens have taken upon themselves the task of organizing and attending the tea party protests; Whereas the ideals expressed in the Virginia Republican creed reflect the ideals, goals, and spirt of these tea parties.

We have a chance to fight this battle at the ballot box, before we have to resort to the bullet box. But that is the beauty of our second amendment right. I am glad all of us enjoy our firearms for hunting, but make no mistake, that was not the intent of the Founding Fathers. Our second amendment right was to guard against tyranny.

With friends like Crabill...
If we're lucky, she'll join forces with Michele Bachmann. Bachmann/Crabill 2012! And that's only because Sarah the Quitter is too busy making money to get on the ticket. And even if she did, she'd drop out before the race was over.
a) a “spontaneous” “grass-roots” event to protest against a lot of things, and for some other junk, maybe.
b) a slang term utilized in a situation where there is a conspicuous lack of minorities.
ie. “Huh. So it looks like this dodgeball league’s a real Tea Party.”
Allow me to add an entry of my own:
Tea Tantrum • \TEE-tan-trum\ • noun
a) something the dodgeball moms throw on a regular basis in order to show off their handcrafted hats and signs.
b) an event at which Fixed Noise hosts promote/appear/practice deception while claiming to be news reporters
ie. "There are 5,00025,000 millions of Tea Tantrums that sprang up in taxpayer-funded parks, sponsored by no right wingers whatsoever, so that we could try to legitimize it a populist uprising by July 4."
