Fux claiming that millions of people are teabagging

[cali]

I'm watching Fux because propaganda holds a certain fascination for me, and they're piling it on in a way I've never witnessed before. They just had some asshole John Whatever, reporting from Tulsa and he claimed that millions would be protesting across the nation today.

[tridim]

1. "How big is the crowd there John?"

"Ohh.. well it's pretty big.. and getting bigger by the second!"

:rofl:

[bunnies]

2. pajamas tv says 2251.

Close enough. :rofl:

[MNDemNY]

6. So, is that 4502? or???

[sarge43]

13. Tack on three zeros and we're in business.

They never disappoint. They always bring the stupid. Bless their hearts.

:eyes:

[bunnies]

18. Oh I expect pajamas to increase that number significantly...

on the tallys next update. They are a rw rag after all. Cant let the poor teabaggers be embarrassed like that!

[sarge43]

26. Hey, it worked for Joe McCarthy and those State Dept reds. n/t

[MNDemNY]

3. I think he said "minions".

20. *snarf!*

[Botany]

4. no

Gibson "100s of protests that MAY involve a million people."

[MNDemNY]

11. They "may" involve 2-3 dozen.

[cali]

12. he didn't say may. he said probably millions

will show up.

[Botany]

14. thanx

I did catch the qualifier though ... and he did kinda laugh.

Then he went to "work the crowd."

16. Perhaps if you include

parking attendants, toll takers, vendors, the people who manufacture the teabags, the throngs of media covering the events, and the people watching on tv, it "involves" a million people.

5. I've NEVER watched Fox News,

but I just turned it on because I also enjoy being at the zoo when the anaconda is fed....................

[onehandle]

7. I believe them. In other news, a few thousand are participating in tea bag protests today. nt

[spanone]

8. they have a lot at stake...they have promoted this like they are the political arm of rnc

[safeinOhio]

9. It may have been just a little early

but, I saw 2 in front of our post office.

[MNDemNY]

27. All it takes is two.

[rucky]

10. Some of them are doing it in the privacy of their own homes.

so it may be true

[guitar man]

15. Do those figures include variations?

Such as the Trojan War Helmet?

:rofl:

[Stagecoach]

17. I bet they're thumbing through the phone books

offering up cash for people to show up. Shoot.....my local TV news opened up with this by saying "hundreds of thousands of people....republican and democrats alike....are showing up across the country." I don't know how they know it's "republican and democrats alike"...which makes me think that was a line that someone added in.

[Roland99]

19. Looked like about 200-300 in that shot FAUX just showed in Boston

[blogslut]

21. "It's a movement that's sweeping the nation!"

Actual quote from the Fox news anchorette.

[LynneSin]

22. Wait, I had tea this morning - are they counting me as part of this group

:eyes:

[Stagecoach]

23. LOL

They'll probably be showing the same packs of people but claim that it's from different cities.

[spanone]

24. 'claims' have nothing to do with reality...i can claim i'm king of the world

[cali]

25. no kidding. did I say I put stock in their absurd claims? Hardly.

I referred to it as propaganda.
