The self-delusional world in which liberals wallow truly is amazing. It takes an Olympic gymnast's level of agility to warp your logic enough to think like one of them and a recent report on the left-wing blather site Newsvine is yet one more example of the backbreaking contortions that liberals must indulge to make themselves feel better.

In this post on the presumed falling numbers of the tea party protests and an amusing subsequent praise of the coffee party effort, this left-winger calling himself "MoeZilla" desperately tried to massage the truth in order to make his losing left appear as if they are holding their own in the American political debate. The truth is, of course, that our pal Moe warped reality in multiple ways in order to make it seem as if his side is winning -- or at least is treading water -- while the tea party is losing.

He began his "report" saying that organizers for a tea party protest in Stockton, California were "hoping for 1,000 people to join the protest," but only about 250 showed up (according to ABC News 10). MoeZilla segues on to reveal that the tea party event in Sacramento "was only around 2,000." Moe estimates that the April 15 protest was an 80% drop from last year's tea party protest...

I did see lower attendance at our local tea parties, but many of them started during the workday, so conservatives (who happen to be the ones who actually work for a living) could not attend. Additionally, there were multiple venues, thus spreading out the attendance.

Doesn't matter. I would have attended all by myself if necessary.
