Is the tea party crowd dead?

Posted on 09/12/2009 11:04:14 AM PDT by Tempest

Why on earth is the crowd set back 50 eet from the speakers?

Why is it that the crowd sounds like there's only 13 active people there and everyone else is asleep?

It's much too civil and docile. A conservative woodstock.... hmmm... I'm not sure.

I like the hip-hop guys on right now, it just feels like they're playing in a empty warehouse.

Everyone split to get additional clipboards for the warlord.

The presstitutes have dumped the sounds levels down.
The live thread touched on this repeatedly.

Decent coverage & sound on C-SPAN.

And who in the world chose to play Obozo suck-up and has-been Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”??

wow I just saw a birds eye view of the crowd. Hundres of thousands, maybe even a million people their and the STUPID left wing media is trying to give press to a President Ohstupid rally at Target center, that has a maximum capacity of 18.5k.

Talk about American media propoganda.

I just heard one of the speakers (Matt Kiby?) say that ABC news is reporting that 1.5 million people are there!

I wonder if the lack of MSM coverage or blatantly biased coverage will just further inspire the tea party crowd and those in support of them and their cause.

I saw a birdss eye view of the event and I believe it!

Let’s see how much a failure the American media can be on this historic event.

Yes, you really need to hook up with C-Span. Matt Kibbe speaker said that we need to get our own headcount today. The roads are closed and the crowd is back to the Washington Monument.

We’re are too polite, too law-abiding, and too nice.
Andrew Breitbart said so himself.
He was weirded out by how everyone was so nice and polite towards him.

“1.5M” If that is true this is even more of a success then I hoped for. The speakers have been very good and are just average Americans. Unlike the scripted politicians of the opposition.

I was just there, parked right at the corner of Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues...it took more than 3 hours for the march to pass down PA. Ave. to the Capitol.

Some marchers were forced on to the sidewalk...it was so crowded!

I am glad my camera has auto-focus, because at times it was very difficult to see thru the tears in my eyes!

God Bless these wonderful Americans!

Are you serious? 1.5 million? If so, that is an incredible turnout and should be front page news. But I thought they were only expecting 100k? Is it really possible there are ten times that many?

Now DC police are saying 1.2 million. Still a lot of people, at least a TRUE million citizen march.
