600 teabaggers in Tenn.= national news; 1.1 million protesting the war in 2003 = nothing

Oh, and there's no racism to be seen here.

6. How are they paying for the facility much less for the grifter with that number?
I have been involved with events of varying types before. If you don't pay the facility, you don't get access.

7. By charging more than $500 a ticket
This supposed "grassroots" event priced out everyone but the rich.

14. But that's 300 grand, max. And the grifter is getting half that.
They will lose money by my estimate.

15. I am sure they have more than one way to get people to empty their pockets
Edited on Fri Feb-05-10 09:06 PM by Bjorn Against
They are getting 300 grand just in tickets alone, plus they are no doubt finding plenty of ways to get the wealthy individuals who go to the convention to fork over even more money. They won't have any problem with money, they do obviously have a big problem with ethics however.

9. 600??? That's hilarious...
and makes me wonder why the fuck so many Democrats are scared of the teabaggers... IT'S A BOGUS "MOVEMENT" PEOPLE... Cooked up by Faux news and the RNC. Hopefully this will get some of the "sky is falling" Democrats to crawl out of their hidey holes and vote this November.

If 600 people is all the opposition can round up for a "convention", we might even PICK UP seats this fall. Time to go on OFFENSE, people!
