1 Nice to see that dwarfs in green parkas vote GOP. Or maybe its the 50-foot MILF thats throwing off perspective.

2 I tried to go to the Chicago one, but was stopped by ice on the roads south of the city. Looks like it was nice in Denver. :-(

3 If that's Joanna, I'm done deliberating.

Don't expect any MSM coverage unless men and women are donning pink tiaras.

btw, did anyone think to hire inflatable-ballbag guy? Cameras practically follow that dude.

11 toby can have the dwarf. And the pliers.

12 #5, I loved one of the comments, "the fan hits the shit." Back to topic at hand, there is even a Tea Party tonight near my dinky little town in Greenville, SC. I picked my son up from school and in the pickup line, I pulled up behind a man that the entire back of his car in anti-Obama bumper stickers. I stopped & talked to him for a few minutes and he told me about it. I was totally unaware. I'm sure the news won't cover it...but maybe, just maybe...it's a sign that these protests are popping up all over, even in small towns like mine.

"Talk about throwing a hotdog down a hallway"

Like firing an electron through the LHC...

14 I was at the Houston event and it was great. I'm guessing 250 or so people at peak. Considering it was put together in a week, it was pretty well done. Some of the speakers were really excellent, and I want to thank all of them. Lots and lots of bloggers out, and I guess most folks got there because of facebook or twitter or something like that. Oh, and conservative women are LOTS better looking than the granola munching hippies at a liberal event. Big thanks to all of the organizers and speakers.

15 Is there lots of tea-bagging at your tea parties?

16

They did the same shit when Obama came over here to the high school to announce his irresponsible borrower bailout plan. Paper said there was 150 ppl. Actually, more like 500-1000. Just checked the local rag website & I didn't see today's Tempe Tea Party under "Things To Do" this weekend.....

I'm sure the pics from the Tempe gig will be, er, interesting. About 85 degrees in the sun here today. Maybe a 60 ft. tall half-dressed MILF will be featured?

apparently there is an operation teabag (snicker) planned for april.  send teabags to 1600 pennsylvania ave. for tax day.  everyone!  teabag obama! (snicker, snicker)

crowd size estimated at 600.  we doubled ATL, bitches!

20 No Taxation without representation.

21  Man, I wish I could have gone to one of these, but I had to work.

See, this is why it never works when conservatives try to demonstrate and in general throw a lib-style fit.  We all have JOBS.

22 eh. I could've gone to one if I wanted to drive like 5 hours or so.

/come to me, my pretties

23 do these on saturdays, please!

24 local news covered ours.  crowd size rivaled al gore's no-concession speech 8 years ago here... crashed that with a buddy and a couple bush/cheney 2000 signs. heh. people yelling "oh. it aint ovah yet!"  media said it was "thousands" then.  I eyeballed a couple hundred.

people came and went from ours.  like i stated previously, "official" count was 600.  people were coming and going with about 400 at any one time.  rather rough time to do it - lunchtime on a weekday - and threat of cold rain, suppressed turnout. 

25

I was so bummed I couldn't make it to the St. Louis rally. Damn job in West County. >

But I am glad so many people showed up in force despite the cold!!!

26 How was the media coverage at these events? Any or none? Mostly local or did any the affiliated stations turn up?

27 There was a good turnout in San Diego this morning!

28 How is Obama gonna pay for this? By taking it from private Charities. From Wapo: "the charitable giving deduction reduction, which would limit deductions for couples making $250,000 or individuals making $200,000, provoked the most heat Thursday. Mr. Obama is counting on that provision to raise $179.8 billion over 10 years" People donate money to the salvation army (to help victims of disasters) or to the Christian Childrens fund (to feed starving children) or to charitable hospitals (to treat poor and uninsured). But Obama wants that money for his own budget. The marginal tax rate (after bush cuts end, and with state taxes) for those donations will be ~55%. Best case, the charities get 45% and the gov gets its "slice". (can 55% be a slice?) But realistically you know that what will happen is that people just donate much, much less. Because Obama doesn't really care about disaster victims, and hungry children, and the sick poor. If he did he would let those charities. It's a way for him to extort more money, while killing off the programs that get in the way of his centralized "depend on the government" utopia.

30 Good turnout in super liberal Seattle! 200, maybe?

31 No Representation Without Taxation.
If you ain't paying you ain't vote'en.

I'm in there, too!  Nice folks; good turn-out for such short notice~

35

Geez, can't a guy finish his waffles?  I'm taking care of that problem as fast as I can!

36 22 No Taxation without representation.

Taxation with representation ain't so great either.

37

Meh. Who the hell has time to protest at 9:00 in the morning on a Friday? Don't you people work?

Otherwise, I probably would have went down to Dailey Center, if only to troll for cute libertarian chicks.

38 An impressive beginning. Remember, the anti-Bush movement started with only a few Bush-haters. And look where it ended up.

The Obama Agenda is filled with the dry, rotting wood of socialism, and the grassfire is just getting started,

39 I'm waiting for the protest at the Indiana statehouse on March 25. Given the property tax shenanigans that went down a couple years ago, it should be interesting.

And Dan (#3): Flattery will get you nowhere.

40 Yes I do work and I took a precious few hours of vacation time I had to attend the protest in San Diego.  I thought it was that important.

41 Was at the Chicago one- about 400-500 showed.

Pretty good turnout, though none of us knew how to scream unintelligibly, and everyone appeared to have bathed today. We also obeyed the traffic lights.

Also, there were no giant papier mache dolls or stoned drummers.

C'mon, conservatives are new at this stuff.

42 Sniff:.... so, the rich won't donate anything without a tax deduction? <\i> I think that the rich apply the same economic logic to their charity that they did to their own finances. They are constantly looking for the way to do the most good with their money. When they see good opportunities they give more, when they see less cost/benefit they will give less. I know that you are joking, but it's really true that moonbats do not understand charity giving at all. It's alien to them. it's why the don't give money to charities. From Obama's point of view, it's a perfect tax, because it will hit the conservatives and red-stater's, while barely touching the liberals.

43 It is nice to see rally pics without "jews" spelled wrong a thousand times.

44 Just a note:  Allahpundit is a dickhead.

45 Just got back from the Seattle Tea Party. At least 300 showed up, which is remarkable for liberal Seattle. The people were very pumped and with every event, the numbers of people attending these events will surely grow.

46

,My parents went to the one in Tulsa; they said it was 400-500 at the peak. I mention them because they are in the pix on Instapundit; my dad's the guy front and center in the denimn jacket and my mom is the tiny shadow in a black parka next to him.

I was at work (okay, checking blogs) when I saw that. Very odd to see one's parents unexpectedly on Instapundit.

47 The difference between the right wing and the left wing is the easiness on the eye factor the right wing protestor chicks have.

Best comment from that video:

"In that part of the world it is considered a highly offensive to throw a ceiling fan at someone's face."

49 I got my Reagan Revolution t shirt yesterday. I'll be wearing that at Kansas City's tea party tomorrow. I hope we have a good turn out. The weather is supposed to be cold. I know I am going to dress in layers as well as my kids.

50 " 48 Just a note:  Allahpundit is a dickhead."

You just noticed ??

In regard to the Seattle tea party, the alternative weekly newspaper blog in Seattle has a post up trashing the protest, the comments are as you can imagine from that source. But I thought this one was just too precious not to share with you morons:

By signing on as a US citizen, you're buying into a social contract; therefore, everyone's mortgage IS everyone else's problem on some level. As pissed as I am that a LOT of other people made bad decisions that affect my ability to be hired, you can't just be a fair weather taxpayer. That's how the security net system works.

Stupid tea party protesters, get on board with the social contract you signed as a US citizen, it is your PATRIOTIC DUTY to be taxed to take care of your fellow citizens.

I am beating my head against my desk and thinking very bad thoughts about young shrill urban douchebag enviro hipsters and their fucking social contracts.

52 I was at the DC tea party. It was my first "demonstration" and I wasn't sure what to expect. I brought my "mini-moron" with me. Anyone else there? If I can figure out how to post one of my pics, I'll add the link.

53 Trish, upload it to photobucket.com or tinypic.com. That's what I do.

54

eh. I could've gone to one if I wanted to drive like 5 hours or so.

Three hours, and I would have had to drag 3 children along. On a weekend, or when I had time to stay in the big city for a while (which would make it easier for the kiddos), I'd like to do it.

 

55 KC protest fun is still on, despite the snow! Dress warm. Here's my sign: http://tinyurl.com/dcfbpg

56 Love the poster, Espkc. My t shirt will be my poster since I'll have to push a stroller around. I'm so excited. Don't worry, I'll take a shower and wear deodorant.

57 I'm surprised that Barry's Red Brigade (ACORN) wasn't there to try to break things up.

58

I've been looking online, but I haven't found if they're planning a tea party for Boston. C'mon, man - we had a tea party before it was cool!

And slightly OT, but I find Joe the Plumber inexplicably hot. I'd totally hit that.

59 TheQuietMan:
Well, the ACLU was getting people to sign petitions across the street from the Tea Party today (in Seattle). I didn't ask what it was about, but assumed it was their big push here for the "rights" of illegal aliens.

60 Thanks Ginger! Raise hell tomorrow. Here I am with my mini moron in DC. BTW on the way back to the car, I saw John Bolton en route to the WH. Awesome. Hard to miss that stache. http://i42.tinypic.com/aay9l2.jpg

61

I went to the DC event.  It was awesome, except you'd think that some of the elected officials from Capitol Hill could have bothered to show up, but I attribute that to this being early, not necessarily organized like a well oiled machine yet, but that will resolve itself.

As for MSM coverage, Atlanta Journal Constitution covered theirs.  I remember counter protesting the anti-war jerks a few February's back and the MSM looked the other way then too, underestimating our crowd that vastly outnumbered the smelly hippies by 5 to 1.  But.  We'll have to go all code pink on Washington, act up in Congress, perhaps, out Saul Alinsky them.

One last point before an anecdote.  April 15th is tax day and they want to have another Tea Party which should be massive and unavoidable by the MSM.  Plenty of time to organize, get your local conservative heavies in the media, print or radio to promote it, time to get the conservative politicians on board, etc.  And it is a work day, but it's important to remember that the founders sacrificed their fortunes and lives to form this wonderful country, not just a few hours of personal leave.  Do you believe that our country is worth fighting for or not?  A few hours or even a day off isn't too much to ask to voice your opposition to this runaway socialist freight train, is it?

Now, the anecdote.  The front of the White House is always a zoo of nutty protestors, including a group of saggy old hippies in orange jump suits and black bags over their heads, chained together doing their best Abu Ghirab shuffle.  (yeah.  they didn't get the memo that the iraqis run AG now, morons)  When they left the event one of our older ladies was badgering and heckling them, hollering 'Hey you in the orange jump suits.  Did the DC correctional facility let you out to pick up trash???  Start cleaning this place up, you deadbeats!!'  It was absolutely hilarious.

62 I want to smoke my tea...is that cool?

63 Trish, love the sign. You have a cute kid and you're pretty hot too. Conservative women are so much better than liberal women.

GREAT BUMPER STICKERS FOR SALE...tngop.org.

It is in black and white and says HONK IF YOU"RE PAYING MY MORTGAGE.

65 Can we have one in Philadelphia?

66

there is a "tea bag congress" movement, totally! thousands of us are sending letters with an enclosed tea bag (preferably used and dried so they can't make free tea) ...send them so they arrive at offices of congress exactly on April 15th. Send on april 10th or 11th if by regular snail mail, or put a bunch of them in a priority mail envelope and send two days before. Let's fill a freaking mack truck with this shit and have it roll up on Nancy and Harry on tax day!

67 Kacey, if I am not mistaken, I think I read at Freerepublic, that there will be a tea party tomorrow in Philly at noon across from the Liberty Bell. Hope that helps.

68 Tulsa Tea Party

http://tulsateaparty.blogspot.com/

About 400 people, pretty cold, but we had a good time

69 Where are the giant papier-mache heads? It's not a protest without giant papier-mache heads. And, yeah... except for the loser counter-protesters -- who looked rather confused that they didn't understand the topic at hand -- it was nice to see a demonstration without a bunch of "Jews Suck" signs and kaffiyeh-wearing babies.

70 The tea party should expand to every employed person changing their withholding statement for federal taxes to assure there is no tax, especially  excess tax, going to D.C. through automatic withholding. Pay it quarterly to the penny. It can be done legally and will break congress from sucking rotten eggs.

71

I heard on Rush today that the tax tables will not change next year, so that $13 a week you get back this year is "added income" which you will be taxed on next year. And you won't be able to pay it back to the IRS at $13 a week but in a lump sum.

Obama is a lying thug whore.

72 Forget government building. Protest outside Network/Radio/Press buildings.

73

Whoever organized the Tea Party on a Friday morning should be fired.

That's just fucking stupid.

Get up early on Saturday morning, meet with your friends, stage the event, have brunch and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

You're welcome.

 

 

 

74 Hooray for Tulsa morons!!! I thought I was the Only one here!

79 I was at the OKC tea party, but my wife wouldn't let me bring my huge paper mache Joe Biden head.

80 We have to include more of our black american brethren in these things, it's not just white folks who are being gouged, it's every productive person in the USA.  Truly a situation that doesn't discriminate, it will also prevent the MSM from labeling us racists (which they will try to do anyway I suppose).

83 We did a mini-Tea Party in Studio City last night. One of our signs said "They raised your sales tax! Thank them on Tuesday!", referring to the L.A. election this week. I swear to god, one idiot rolled down his car window and said, "we need the sales tax to pay for George Bush's war in Iraq." There is literally no underestimating the stupidity of these people.
