Yes, FIVE.

News guy said "several hundred" were in attendance but video clearly showed only 5. Plus the woman at the microphone (singing and not too well I might add). So that would be SIX.

Last year we had 1800 show up in a local park to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Iraq invasion and not a one of our TV stations bothered to cover the event. They also ignored the rally here in November in support of gay marriage. There were 500 there and it was freezing cold.

But they drove to a little town about an hour away to cover a teabag protest that drew 5 people.

Now tell me again all about our librul media. :rofl:

1. With so few people at their protest, I guess they had only each other to teabag. n/t

5. Doesn't it require one in the middle? Oh, wait, that's a different game.

2. I suggest a commemorative stamp series depicting the 5 teabaggers
in this protest.

I don't know who wouldn't be deeply moved by their earnestness.

9. Teabag protest and karaoke competition.
I'm surprised there wasn't a larger turnout for that.
