Tea Party Kill Health Care Reform D.C. rally nets about 300 kooks.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/16/tea-party-march-16-protes_n_501352.html

Despite the Tea Party movement's high hopes for Tuesday's Capitol Hill rally to kill health care reform -- an event that featured appearances by numerous GOP lawmakers -- it appears the crowd was not as large as expected.

I doubt this will be covered on M$M!

2. FOX NOISE covered it none stop and never showed a wide shot.

Michele Bachmann said there was 25,000 people there. LOL

3. That drives me crazy. They report on the anti bill protesters as if they

are in the hundreds of thousands. Why are such small numbers givens such huge coverage?

5. Michele Bachman is a republican,

which, by definition, means she is a liar. The only time the truth would intentionally come out of her mouth, is when it will provide more money than the lie would.

4. Even today

a really really nice Saturday those assholes can only pull in an estimated 1500 (MSNBC estimate). I think they're pretty much brewed out.

Right wing assholes don't have the stamina to protest, never did and never will.

8. I have always felt time was on the side of the truth. Eventually legitimate information will get

through the torrent of disinformation. (of course this process is slowed considerably by the Corporate media assiduously editing out as much real information as possible - leaving repetition of disinformation and poster epithets).

7. A lot of them attending were from here...

...(Pittsburgh)

So, you'll understand it burns my ass these people were featured on by local NBC affiliate.

We must have had over 500 people hop on buses from Pittsburgh back in January of 2003 to attend our HUGE anti-war rally prior to Bush getting us into that war, with the same amount of local media interest.

So, the local affiliates give more video to the nutbags.

9. Reading that headline...

I can envision the guys in the nice white jackets netting these people up to take them away. Oh, one could only hope.
