And these people show up for a few hours toting along their law chairs and wearing their hats with danging teabags and holding their misspelled signs. After 2 hours of lame speeches everyone would pack up and go home.

:wtf: is with our cable channels ignorning what is happening on Wall Street

Seriously!

1. ... and the cameras would focus only on them in a way that makes it look like there are thousands
Same bullshit is done every time they want to sensationalize a story. Makes me sick.

4. They count all the passerby's as part of the rally
I mean they hold them in public places so there are usually people not involved with the rally that might stop by to see what is happening. I swear at the anti-war protests, they would count the people standing near the pro-war supporters as part of their group even if they were passerbys or anti-war people protesting at them.

6. If they held something in my town, I'd give the Baggers the finger wave
Then they can film me giving the Baggers the finger wave, and the film would show bystanders are not necessarily friendly to the Baggers. :)

2. Don't forget they also show up with violent signs and guns on the hip
But you dare show up with a camera and you get sprayed and arrested.

5. That's happening at Cal.
College Republicans put on a racist bake sale and the media is crawling all over it and the 10 people there. But they mostly ignored hundreds of students protesting fee hikes.
