That cracks me up that the @#*$! with the sign saying the Tea partiers were all racists passed by as in the group in the foreground was one of the many African American Tea partiers.
There was maybe 5% counter-protesting. Anyone who claims otherwise is on acid.
Did you notice how few people paid attention to the lunatics in the yellow shirts? No clapping, no cheering, zero approval. Lots of disapproving glances.
I was there as well. I dunno if I'd say it was 3:1 but it was at least 50:50. There were several hundred supporters (mainly at the front) but by the end of the "rally" there were hundreds of counter-protesters through the entire crowd. You cant really hear it from the small camera this guy was using, but when he said "Conservative women are smarter than you and they're hotter than you" there was a huge roar of disapproval from well over half the crowd.
I was here today and counter-protesting up near the stage, although I say the majority was counter protesters, they were many protesters up near the stage, and they did not appreciate my friends and I vocally protesting, they told us to shut the fuck up and that were werent allowed to be there
And, incidentally, a guy who was live-blogging from the protest said that the anti-Tea Party protesters outnumbered the Tea Baggers about 3:1. The people up near the stage, apparently, we there for the protest - everyone on the periphery was there to stir shit up. You idiots are completely fooling yourselves about the numbers. And, yeah, there's a chance the Republicans may take back the House in November. But that's it. No Senate, and definitely no White House in 2012.
Do you think I have to be an Obama supporter just because I think she's an idiot? But, as long as you're on the subject, Since Obama took office: the DOW'S up 4K pt.; we went fr. losing 700K jobs a month to a gain of 162K last month; 32 mln Americans now have health insurance (& won't get cut off mid-chemo); we're winding down troops in Iraq; 95% of Americans got a tax cut; no terrorist attack on US soil.... "AHHHHH!! IT'S A LIVING HELL!! IMPEACH HIM!! VOTE HIM OUT!! HE'S DESTROYING AMERICA!!!"

10K people? Are you out of your mind? I've seen more people on the commons on legalize weed protests. All you wing-nuts keep deluding yourselves about Palin's chances of getting elected POTUS - it makes for good comedy. The same way you delude yourselves about how many people showed up for her speech. There was MAYBE 2K people there. & I'm being generous. I can see it now - when you lose in November, and don't take back the house, you're gonna cry that the elections were fixed.

@TheMouthPeace So that means you can form a political rally, congratulations..

The idea that 50% or more of the rally were counter-protesters is ludicrous. It was a lot closer to 5%, maybe less.

@Rebar617 I think it was more than 5%. Lots of protesters who weren't in the triangle near the stage.
