Million Moran March?
So, even if we conceded that a million people showed up in total at all the teabagging events,that number would make up less than 0.3% of the population of this country. That's about the percentage of the best Libertarian candidate's vote total.

Of course, the number was far smaller than a million, but even so...

1. Here's my take on this
Let's say there were 300 teabagging events yesterday, and let's be generous and say there were 1000 teabaggers per event. That's about 300,000 people (I use the term loosely), which is fewer than the number of protesters at a SINGLE march in DC against the war. All this despite constant promotion by Fox, compared with a complete media blackout for the war protests.

To call these wackos "the fringe" is an understatement.
