Teabag Watch 2010
Well, as this has been a teabag weekend, it is time for Green Eagle to report to you on the mighty popular movement which is (if you believe the mainstream press) sweeping the country and, I suspect, this entire sector of the Milky Way.
The big teabag action was in Washington, D.C. Remember last year's 9-11 Washington grand tea party and hatefest? That attracted 70,000 people, although the teabaggers claimed up to two million. 70,000 marchers for a well-publicized and heavily subsidized march was pathetic enough, but apparently they did far worse this year:
"Tea Party's 9/12 Rally Looking Much, Much Smaller Than Last Year's
The crowd is downright tiny by comparison to those past events...it's nowhere near the size of last year's 9/12 crowd."
Here's a picture:
Not exactly an army on the march, huh? Well, maybe they are still worn out from the great Glenn Beck religious revival, and need to wait a few more weeks before their hatred overcomes their confusion when they try to remember how to open their walkers.
And just in case you wondered:
"Diversity update: Minorities on stage? About five. Minorities spotted in the small crowd? None."
And now, let's check in with Jim Hoft, over at Gateway Pundit, who is the perpetual king of teabag overestimation. Here's Jim:
"Gateway Pundit: "THOUSANDS In Attendance- St. Louis Holds Regional 9-12 Tea Party Protest"
And here's the only picture he had of the massive crowd:
Such a shame, isn't it, that there was just absolutely nowhere he could have stood to get a picture of more than a few dozen out of the THOUSANDS, or maybe even trillions who showed up for this miserable excuse for a popular demonstration?
What do people like Jim Hoft and Pam Geller think, time and time again, as they write their endless lying accounts of their phony, synthetic movement? Doesn't it ever bother them that they are repeating the same deceit over and over again?
I repeat what I must repeat until these things stop: There is no such thing as the tea party movement in any meaningful sense. Without the collaboration of the press in making these miserable, failed rallies look like something meaningful, no one would ever hear of them. We've seen "national" demonstrations with fewer people than high school pep rallies, This movement has gone right downhill since its inception a year and a half ago, with marches attracting fewer and fewer people, despite being subsidized with millions from rich right wingers like the Koch brothers. Yet the press still treats their greed and racism as somehow worthy of constantly being taken seriously.
