How You Can Tell The M$M Sponsored TeaBagger Party Isn't Even 20,000 Strong
No wide shots of the crowds.

Make no mistake, this is 100% M$M spoonsored and approved. The astroturf organizers were saying 2,000,000. Last night, they divided that number by 100 to come up with 20,000.

And they aren't even going to get 20,000. You know that because if they were, there would be wide shots to show the crowds growing.

Remember, too. This is the same M$M that completely ignored MILLIONS in the streets of multiple cities on February 15, 2003.

2. A million liberal war protestors in NYC is "a few". 20 rethugs w/ illiterate signs is a media event
That's the truth of the age we live in.

4. The organizers themselves said 20,000?
then, it's really quite a bit less.

How can you go from 2 million to 20,000?

5. They've been saying 2,000,000 for weeks. Last night they changed it to 20,000
which tells me they'll be lucky to break 10,000.

14. But, just claiming 2 million and now saying 20,000
is a gigantic change. That's like claiming Iraq would cost $1.7 billion and it's now running upwards of $1 trillion.

11. The stretch is the original crowd moving out for the march
Looking at the march, there is anywhere from 10 to 20 feet on average between each marcher.

17. Do we have anyone from our side filming this at all?
This is the problem I have with these things. We don't seem to want to document the truth for broadcasting.

21. Was that them marching on the sidewald at 3rd and Constitution just now?
Wait, no. That was obvioulsy a large tour group of about 40 or so.

Nope, unless they're already in the Mall, I can't see them at all. Must be over.
