Remember when the Media didn't want to report the head count on these?

[FrenchieCat]

And under-reported the numbers till it couldn't be denied?

The Teabaggers have a long ass way to go,
but somehow, the media is right there...microphone in hand!


Portland, Oregon - 100,000 folks



St. Louis, Misouri - 100,000 Different Folks

Invesco Field for the Nomination Speech



Grant Park in Chicago, night of the election



Obama in Berlin - 250,000 other but non-American folks




But the saddest one that was undereported was this one......

1. Easy - corporate media promotes divisiveness and discontent or risk the masses uniting and

overthrowing them.

[Cha]

2. Someday I hope there's

crowds like these right at the door of the corporatemedia and they won't report it but they'll know their heyday is OVER.

3. That's something I could get behind.

They are ruining our country, and that wasn't their job assignment!

[JeffR]

4. Yeah, go figure.

Seems like one teabagging idiot = thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people who gather in protest or support of things they actually have some understanding of.

Liberal media my chicken-fried ass...

5. Compare the signs in that last photo to what we're seeing now.

While you could find hate signs throughout many war protests, it was not nearly as dominant.

These signs aren't about hate. A sign calling for the impeachment of Pres. Bush seems to be the worst there.

Yet these rallies today were filled with nothing BUT hate.

Hate toward America and hate toward our president.

It makes me sick.

[FrenchieCat]

6. It makes me cry for our country......

It really does.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, we hated the impending

bombing of Iraq and our signs were based on fact..these idiots are fueled by corporatewhore brainwashing.

The Rwanda genocide was fueled by media propaganda..

<snip>>>

"Media propaganda

"According to recent commentators the news media played a crucial role in the genocide: local print and radio media fueled the killings, while the international media either ignored or seriously misconstrued events on the ground.<9> The print media in Rwanda is believed to have started hate speech against Tutsis which was later continued by radio stations. According to commentators anti-Tutsi hate speech "became so systemic as to seem the norm." The state-owned newspaper Kangura had a central role, starting an anti-Tutsi and anti-RPF campaign in October 1990. In the ongoing International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the individuals behind Kangura have been accused of producing leaflets in 1992 picturing a machete and asking "What shall we do to complete the social revolution of 1959?" - a reference to the Hutu revolt that overthrew the Tutsi monarchy and the subsequent politically orchestrated communal violence that resulted in thousands of mostly Tutsi casualties and forced roughly 300,000 Tutsis to flee to neighboring Burundi and Uganda. Kangura also published the infamous "10 Hutu Commandments," which called upon Hutus to massacre Tutsis, and more generally communicated the message that the RPF had a devious grand strategy (one feature article was titled "Tutsi colonization plan")."

8. It really was never about Bush until later.

It was about the war.

Even Bush got a huge grace period when it came to hate.

Fucking sick of it.

9. that photo of Oregon still blows my mind

10. maybe its time to hit the pavement again to out do the wing bats.

11. There's a rally FOR healthcare reform in DC today, 9/13...we'll see who comes

(and how it's reported.)

If attendance is poor, then I think we've abrogated our right to complain. The ones at the rally on 9/12 might be "crazy" and despicable, but at least they got off their collective (big) butts for something they believe in.
