I didn’t realize radical extremists behaved and didn’t run around breaking things and throwing stuff at people who disagreed with them. I didn’t realize I was such a rebel threat. Oh, that’s right, I’ve been perfecting my extremist ways by being busy working and being responsible.

@Bruce: And the liberals think they are the beautiful people? We showed them.

@ica: Did you have a sign? If so I might have a pic of it.

@Hez: I agree. The police did a great job at the tea party. I wish people who think cops are anti-citizen could have been there to see for themselves how wrong they are.

Still, it would have been nice if a moonbat infiltrated the rally and had to be tazed.

@Attendance numbers: 1,000 or 2,000, it still sends the same message: stop the runaway spending or we will vote you out of office.

250k overall, as Michelle Malkin cited in her NY Post column Thursday or 500k as TJ has figured out via his research.

Same message.

The people who attended the tea parties are also those more likely to vote in non-Presidential election years and be more active in the political system.

Do not think for a moment that the Pols have not taken notice. They have and by their comments this week they are scared.

We don’t need to justify numbers to the media to tell our political leaders it is game on as far as their job performance is concerned.

We can let them know in the voting booth and with emails and letters.

Go look at the photos in Bruce’s post on the rally, Chris. Especially the last one. That’s more than a thousand people. I’m pretty sure the Telegraph’s estimate is significantly on the low side.

Like I said yesterday, listening to media reports about the number of people attending the tea parties is like listening to a woman tell you how many men she has slept with, you have to multiply by like four, or something.
