WED JUL 27, 2011 AT 04:46 PM PDT Photo of today's D.C. rally shows Tea Party's awesome grassroots support byLefty Coaster The Tea Party radicals from the Congress got an abundance of media's attention by attending a Tea Party rally near the Capital. The press were in danger of outnumbering the actual Tea Party supporters who turned out for all of the important pontificating by these radical members of the Congress.http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/07/27/999633/-Photo-of-todays-DC-rally-shows-Tea-Partys-awesome-grassroots-support-?via=siderec

4. So where is the public support for these folks? |
|
Sure seems like they're barking up the wrong tree holding our country hostage now, doesn't it?

There's a lot of grass in that photo.

7. Well, true, I could see the grass, but not its roots. |
|
Still -- something, grass, roots, dirt -- must be supporting that small group of reporters and other people. ;-)

8. Wow. And the weather was actually pretty nice. |
|
Weekend rains cooled us down from last weeks heat wave, and the weather on Wednesday was actually pretty darn nice for this time of year.
I used to work down near the mall, and on a day like that, this time of year, I'd have expected to see more people than that just wandering around. So if anything, that picture indicates this 'rally' created a sort of anti-crowd. A zone that people were avoiding.
Embarrassing.

10. Where are the PortaPotties? THERE MUST BE PORTAPOTTIES! |
|
Everyone knows that True, Authentic, Patriotic, Manly-Man Grassroots Nutbaggers won't show up if there aren't sufficient PortaPotties for them to guard!
