There was one in my little area attended by about 3-400. The cold rain hurt the turnout. I could not go, I had a lunch time appointment.

350-400 people in my town. Lots of people driving by honking and giving thumbs up

This is not nearly as important as the quiz threads. WTF are you guys doing?

If I hadn't been forced to do Army training all day today (land navigation) I'd've been there.

[Ulf]

If I wasn't busy trolling the net I would have been there, trolling with these guys.

It's great to see conservatives, libertarians, traditionalists, and other like-minded people finally mobilizing and making themselves heard. Unfortunately, apart from Fox, media coverage was almost non-existent, except when these demonstrations were presented in a negative light.

Although most people don't tune in, AM radio covered the Hell out of the tea parties.

AM radio is the only thing I listen too when I'm driving! :thumb001:

I certainly don't agree with a lot of what's said, but I enjoy the Hell out of Laura Ingraham especially.

I missed the one in my town, I was a bit hesitant to go because I know a lot of the people in my town are people I would not politically side with and I did not want to risk being associated with them just in case there were photographers, a similar situation happened when I was visiting my mother and I went to her church for her sake, and it was over run with Koreans, and some prick took my picture with a crowd of Koreans behind me, mother fucker lol :D

Here is a video of a tea party where a local politicain showed up to speak. That did not go over well with the crowd. They turned their backs on him and yelled for him to go home. YES!

Wow, these people get it, the Republicans are just as responsible for getting us into this mess as the Democrats are.:thumb001:
