More than 1,200 protesters crammed the corners of Seventh Avenue and C Street in Anchorage today as part of a national Tax Day Tea Party organized by a coalition of conservative groups.

When I think of "hundreds", I think of 3, 4 or 5 hundred, not twelve hundred.

That is the spin that is being generated, just FYI.
Small socialist democrat crowds always seem to be reported as hundreds of thousands or millions. Yet these protests are reported at a few hundred.
With the conservatives quiet nature I will suggest when you get even a real number of a hundred they represent MILLIONS of pissed off Americans that had to work versus getting to go to a Tea Party !
I personally am very grateful for all good Americans that protested today . Protested this criminal administration. Took time , lost a day of work and were able......
Thank you one and all ......
