Teabaggers Epic Fail

Teabagger protesters trying to tout the size of their march on Washington last weekend have been passing around a photo of a packed National Mall. But the picture is years old.

Yet the photo showed the crowd sprawling far beyond that to the Washington Monument, which is bordered by 15th and and 17th Streets. Problem 1: The crowd only filled the Capitol grounds up to 3rd street.

Problem 2: The photo is missing a building; the National Museum of the American Indian which is loacted at 4th St. and Independence Ave. which opened on Sept. 14th 2004.

8. There's a reason the disclaimer comes up when you post and OP:
Good citizens check for duplicates!


The search function is your friend.

9. News is not news at DU unless it gets posted 6 times the day it happens & for the next 3 days.
The "Good Citizens Check For Duplicates" is possibly the most widely disregarded DU rule.

5. Tea party... isn't that where a hippie spikes a caffeinated beverage with LSD?
Makes sense; somebody was high when they mis-used that picture...

14. You think Olbermann doesn't already know?
He's a day and a dollar ahead of the rest of us...he and his crack staff.
