THE CINCINNATI TEA PARTY IS UNDERWAY, and a reader sends this photo via Blackberry.

Also, reader Russell Sayre sends this aerial view: “This was taken from the 17th floor of the U.S. Bank Tower above Fountain Square in Cincinnati as the rally began. I have no idea how many people are there, but the square is pretty full, which rarely happens.”

Yeah, it’s kind of cool the way people are sending me coverage in realtime via Blackberry and cellphone. Somebody should write a book about this phenomenon .

Cincinnati Tea Party Domonstrates Downtown

Last Update: 7:42 pm
The Cincinnati Tea Party, which many have heard about in recent weeks, is a bonafied organization.

Group leaders refer to the party as a grassroots, non-partisan group opposed to wasteful spending.

Thousands met on fountain square Sunday afternoon to support the group and express their frustration with the recent stimulus bill passed by President Obama.

Unfortunately a small isolated group of angry people, many of whom who said they were frustrated with the media, caused WCPO’s crew to leave the event early.

However many saved their passion for the podium. As thousands gathered around in support of the tea party, speaker after speaker hit the stage expressing why they feel our government’s spending is out of control.
“We’re just tired of overspending and for all the reasons, they’re wasting money on things that we didn’t have anything to do with,” said tea party supporter Cindy Akers.

But not everyone agrees with the Cincinnati Tea Party.
“Clearly the American public is strongly behind President Obama right now. These are scary times and they require some very desperate measures,” said Tim Burke from the Hamilton County Democratic Party.

Tea party events are not exclusive to cincinnati. In recent months they’ve been organized in many major cities across the country.

Get transcripts, video and do a [more detailed] write-up on it.

That's the best revenge, IMHO.

I’m going to suggest to our Baton Rouge organizers that if/when a TV crew shows up, that OUR PEOPLE should video any/all TV interviews that take place.

Actually, I have recently switched to this brand.

Our local conservative talker, Moon Griffon, has been advertising for them and he finally convinced me to try it.

Good stuff!!
