Millions Attend Tea-bagging Events Across the Country

[Jmac2]

Teabagging was a hugh suckcess. The librul media didn't tell you 1-5 million attended:

People were compiling estimates on Kristinn’s thread last night... There is NO WAY it’s only 250,000... Try more like SEVERAL MILLION when all is said and done. There were MANY UNADVERTISED tea parties — including one in my own small “city” I didn’t even know about till it was underway that drew at least several hundred people...

"There is NO WAY it’s only 250,000..."
And they KNOW THAT - so, they do what they always do - LIE. They have to twist all truth out of anything threatening.

The actual number of people that attended demonstrations nation-wide is obviously well above two million. In fact, there is a good chance that final tallies will place the figure between three and four million. Initial figures ran close to five million, but averaging brought that figure down as expected.

“I’d say there were 250,000 at the 20-25 largest events and who knows how many more at the hundreds of smaller events across the country???”

Absolutely.

I’m sure the MSM, on orders from its parent owner, the DNC, will deem the Tea Party effort little more than an amusing but futile GOP effort to win over lost voters. They will stay with the 250,000 figure regardless of the actual facts on the ground. (minimally 1,000,000)

My attempt to tally indicates over 1000 rallies with over 1000 each on average - that's 1,000,000 participants minimum. The apparent standard deviation could swing that up to 4M.

Exactly. I think there were atleast 1 million. It is so grassroots, it is hard to get a number. There was no central planner to report the numbers back to.

I estimate atleast 20,000 at the largest events in Kansas, a low population center. If you take that alone and extrapolate it to 50 states, you get 1 million attendees and you have to consider more populated states would have many more attend.

10. This is hardly an attractive glance at freeperville. I fail to

see the pizza.

[cali]

2. lol. suckcess being the operative word here.

sorry, it was under 300,000 even with fux news shamelessly whoring the event for weeks. And it will soon be forgotten and won't accomplish whatever fucked up hateful crap the idiots participating are whining for.

suck on it or choke on it.

[monmouth]

3. Hahaha, in West Palm Beach participants were saying there were

between 2-4,000. Cops estimate by their count about 600....LOL..

[madeline_con]

22. Morans can't count.

[Jamastiene]

27. Well, techincally 600 is between 2 and 4,000.

See how they get by with technicalities? They've been doing it for years.

I know what you mean though. They really cannot count.

[Howardx]

9. who didnt see that coming?

"everyone in america was teabagging except those liberals"

[Deja Q]

23. Well, if it was about teabagging, only one person wouldn't be able to *see* it...

:yoiks:

[Windy]

11. Actually, I heard on CNN this morning that it was only about 150,000 in total nt

[Coffee and Cake]

12. Thats great. So, can I expect to see the same fervor from Reps if another Bush gets into office

Or is this more about touting party lines?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. Hey glad you signed up on election day 2008! What a great day that was!

:hi:

[Jmac2]

19. Thank you

I thought so too.

[cherish44]

14. No there were a JILLION people

That's a real number

[11 Bravo]

39. There were at LEAST a Brazilian of 'em!

[Binka]

41. If We Are Talking About "REAL" Tea-bagging That Would Be A Jizzillion.

"The PATRIOTS just kept cuming" said Faux news.:evilgrin:

[Kansas Wyatt]

15. These TEABAGGERS do realize that the Patriot Act has NEVER been repealed don't they?

And they were so thankful to be photographed every chance they got. Oh and the best part, now the IRS and FBI have their photograph, who they associate with, what threats they spew, and their identities when they went back to their vehicles and then home...

The lunatics didn't bother to notice the surveillance following them as they left. :rofl:

Sorry freepturds, there is no difference between international terrorists and domestic terrorists in the Patriot Act, and you all just put yourselves at the top of the "Watch List." You have a little time before they start the FEMA round-ups, but once they come for you, your TEABAGGING acts are over. Enjoy the FEMA camps!

[MrScorpio]

16. Sarcasm smiley?

[blogslut]

17. My favorite Fox meme:

"This is totally a real, live, really real grass roots movement. Real. Grass roots. So real, we have to keep repeating ourselves about it."

[Patsy Stone]

38. I enjoyed their obsession

with whether or not the "main stream media" would cover these oh-so-spontaneous grass roots protests.

Gretchen Carlson said, "It's going to be so big, they might not have any choice but to cover it."

I can't figure out if they think they aren't one of the "main stream media". You know, that somehow, in that head of hers, being number one in the ratings means you're just a bunch of underground renegades upstarts. Or if that red herring was their excuse for 24 hour coverage. (If not us, who? If not now, when?)

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Yeah and Texas is going to suck-cede from the Union, too.

Nyah. Take that and that, sucker.

[That Is Quite Enough]

20. Raging, irrelevant, out-of-power Republican extremist crybabies make me lolololololol

What a bunch of pathetic UNPATRIOTIC motherfuckers. They lost because their boy king and his supporting psychopathocracy (which has been operating for the past several decades, at least) fucked up this country beyond all recognition and now they suddenly 'wake up' and decide to play revolutionaries because they didn't get their way and the mostly sane majority of the country decided to toss their corrupt asses out of power.

The teabaggers in this country, as well as all their tough-shit uber-macho keyboard kommando brothers and sisters can whine and pretend to be the heroic resistance while the totally evil overlord Barack Hussein Obama (suck on that, troglodytes!) carries out his evil NWO agenda. What's great about America is that they're free to do that. For now, at least, until somebody finally decides that they've crossed the line for once and all. I can't wait to see the day when shit-talkers, fearmongers and propaganda generators like Glenn Beck and his ilk are called out on their treasonous prevaricating.

Don't like America? Go to Somalia, you wastes of life. I hear they don't have much in the way of taxes or 'big' government there.

I just hope these crybaby dittohead losers realize that this armed revolution wet dream of theirs is gonna be a lot harder than they realize. They keep repeating 'We have to take America back!" while they foam like motherfucking rabid dogs. Take it back from who? From the majority of Americans that were fed up with their Republican maladministration and their Congressional enablers?

Fuck you, republicans. Fuck you, teabaggers. Fuck you, secessionists. You aren't patriots. You're a bunch of whiny, treasonous motherfuckers who are advocating ARMED REVOLUTION or SECESSION (which you're too fucking cowardly to actually try) because suddenly 'your guys' are out of power.

Sorry. Rant over. These dumbasses kinda piss me off, sometimes.

[flvegan]

21. You'd do better

explaining yourself, rather than telling folks to go fuck themselves. Makes you look a bit worse, actually.

25. I believe you're sincere, but calling people names is no way to win friends and influence people.

[Jmac2]

28. I agree

Its pathetic that I let one person take me from being in a good mood, to a cursing fit of anger. Whatever, I won't be posting anymore.

With friends like these...

30. It looks like they are choosing "shut up" from the post above you.

Probably best for all concerned. ;)

[TK421]

31. Well....something tells me this isn't going to end well, so let me be the first to say

it was nice reading your post...and stick around, you might learn something

Hi Glenn! :hi:

[AllieB]

32. Who's Glenn?

:shrug:

[TK421]

34. Glenn Beck of course! Can't help but thinking what that guy would be

doing nowadays...did you catch the Fox coverage of the tea party at the AL-A-MOOOOO!!!!?? With Ted Nugent playing Cat Scratch Fever ever fifteen minutes because he is such a washed-up douche bag? and has nothing else to offer except his played to death song and another thirty minutes of fame? with a bunch of rednecks cheering him on? now THAT was scary to watch

edited to add: gotta throw in them chants of USA...USA....USA....USA....USA...USA....USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uppityperson]

35. I love this one "The apparent standard deviation" multiplies the high estimate attempt by 4

Must be that high. Good grief

1000 rallies (estimated or real?) with over 1000 each on average (estimated or real?) - that's 1,000,000 participants minimum. The apparent standard deviation could swing that up to 4M (good, multiply 1 random number by another, then multiply by 4!)

36. The Million Teabaggers March

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

[Patsy Stone]

37. It was at least a brazillion!

:eyes:

[Liberal Veteran]

40. Silly freepers....you don't count each blood cell to get an accurate estimate.

[KitchenWitch]

42. Wrong turn?

Should have turned right at the T junction?

[bridgit]

47. Girl, sounds to me like a hard *right* turn no doubt!!

:thumbsdown:

[Warren DeMontague]

43. So does the GOP now consider sperms to be citizens with rights, as well as fertilized eggs?

If that's the case, then maybe "millions" truly showed up---- in some of those teabaggers' nuts.

[Vickers]

44. I got it.

:thumbsup:

Stick around, humor can be in short supply around here at times.

[SeattleGirl]

45. Millions my big white ass!

Dream on, suckers.

Dream on.

:rofl:

[bridgit]

46. Before you define 'huge' subtract the FOXnews promotion component...

as well the GOP/Rick Santelli "Yeeeesss sir!" investor class along with the fact that those poor mis-fucking-guided people HAVE *NO* FUCKING LEADERSHIP; cause absent that realization is to sanction RW hate-media propaganda
