Seriously, if 20 White people showed up to a Teabagger rally it would be in the news 24x7 |

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.
