Looks like a great turnout!!!! According to the website, Cincinnati Tea Party , 6,000 had committed to show up. If they get even half of that, that's pretty good.

The local news article, Critics gather for downtown 'Tea Party' has a picture of some of the signs:

"NOBAMA'S BIN LYIN, ECONOMY'S DYIN -- STOP NOW"

"BO STINKS"

"USSA, CHAINS WE CAN'T AFFORD"

"THE FEW, THE TICKED, THE TAXPAYERS"

"I DON'T WANT TO BE A GOVERNMENT SLAVE"

Critics? Dissent is Patriotic. We are Patriots!

The Drive-Bys ignored them for as long as they could. They can no longer do so. The next tactic they’ll employ is ridicule. I’ve read their book...

Yes, that's true, the ridicule will be a deafening crescendo once they get all their talking points in a row and ALL the Drive-Bys start singing the same tune. Snide, elitist, narrow-minded s.o.bs. [Or as my late Dad used to say "Dirty rotten sons of b**ches!!" Then spit.] We can't let that stop us from exercising OUR First Amendment rights!! We have to keep hammering away at them and keep telling everyone who will listen! Let's take a page out of their book. AND NEVER GIVE UP!! Remember Churchill's words!! Never, never, never, never, never...

Keep up the great work, everybody, and don't GIVE UP and we WILL silence the Usurper and the rest of the Marxists who are running things now.

IMHO I think it was very wrong for the taxpayers of greater Cincinnati to single out certain ethic groups and not to invite them to the”party”. Blacks and Mexicans pay taxes!

You see the comment on the page? “get a job!” It’s Sunday! Idiot!

That's why we decided to do Philadelphia Tea Party II on the 18th- so people with jobs wouldn't have to take a day off from work in order to protest.

Making fun of your customers is a sure way to lose what little market share you have left.

They’re more upset about losing their power than they are about losing their jobs.

Cincinnati resident here. I attended with some friends, and I was shocked at the turnout. We arrived a bit after 2 and the Square was already 3/4 filled. By 3, there was no room to move.

All in all, a fantastic Sunday afternoon, even if meant ignoring yard work for another week.

Even the Cincy Enquirer, a Gannet rag is headlining ‘Thousands.’

Looks HUGH from the pics!

This is definitely gaining momentum! I can hardly wait for the Richmond, VA “Tea Party” on April 15!!! Be there if you can.

And reader Ed Steiner writes:

One of the local TV stations–WCPO– did a hatchet job on the Tea Party. The nerd said he had to leave the rally because a few people insulted him and spit at him due to media bias. The spitting, if it occurred, is of course out of bounds, but not unheard of in the Bush years, when the lefties had the saliva going. The station did a 30 second scan of the Square and then did its own internal Fairness Doctrine by highlighting the few Obama supporter signs and doing an interview with the local Dem Party chief. WCPO is a part of the soon to be Ch11 Scripps newspaper/TV empire. The WCPO website highlights the forthcoming second stimulus package and what people can get from it. Thanks for the coverage.

Well, don’t thank me — thank all the folks who sent me pics and reports!

MORE: Kami Eickson emails:

Hey Glenn, was at the Cincinnati tea party this afternoon and got quite a few shots, a great turn out and some great posters were displayed at this event. They predicted between 4-6,000 people showed up, the square was packed.

However, one thing I wanted to mention was the Counter Protester, of which there was one that I saw. This woman was just wandering around waving a flag and yelling “OBAMA!” and “YES WE WILL”. There was some media there, but one camera man was ONLY covering her and interviewing her. You know, because she was so brave to stand up to these evil conservative protesters!

That’s change you can believe in!
