Orlando Tea Party Turns Out 100.
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 02:57 PM by MineralMan
Here's an album of photos...I don't see 100 people. Again, what a turnout! What a spectacle! Why...they lined the street 1 deep for part of a block.

21. I am fine with that
When we were doing antiwar vigils we got press too even though there were not that many of us. Orlando is good that way.

13. Same with Atlanta -- claiming triple digits
Check out the facebook page. No way is that even close to 100 people. Poor babies -- it rained on them :rofl:

15. The only reason they got even that many people
The protest was also against bailing out the banks. A few rational people could disagree with that.

18. I counted 31-35
And I was being generous with the count.

Other pictures show more people, though. 100 or maybe a little more seems about right.

It looks like a lot of them are children.

Also, there were no black people visible in any of the photos, and I looked pretty intently, just because I'm a Politically Correct Race-o-Nazi (or whatever the new RW "term of art" for it is).

--d!

19. White, pudgy, a few who look like single men with no kids, 50+, no fashion sense...
Yep...Rush's target demographic...such paragons of capitalism.

20. Republicans; they're good for running their mouths. However,
When it comes to taking action in defense of their beliefs..... well then, not so much.
