It’s dangerous to call for an ad hoc protest in a city that is far, far away from most of the tea partiers. I went to the Glen Beck 9/11 protest. But it took months of planning. The difference between Tea Party activists and AstroTurf is Tea Partiers are employed and can’t just jump on a bus. This risks making the Tea Party look weak.
We had this argument many times during the days when FR was protesting all over the place. It’s always better to have just a few people than to have nothing at all, was the general consensus. Doctor Raoul protested many times by himself. Of course it’s better to get the word out. Radio is best.
