Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.

Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.

Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.

Do you remember the name of the ‘reporter’? I want to expose these ‘reporters’ so people know their agenda and turn them off.

LOL. I love it. BTW - Ya all know that question was from DU. I did not personally ask, “Can anybody produce a picture of a single person of color at the teabag rally?”

I saw that clip on CNN, then one of the Tea Party organizers was interviewed and gave the anchorman an education.

"Fired up, ready to go!"

"If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out."

(And we will "CALL YOU OUT" TOO, hotshot!)


It seems DU'ers and 'reporters' aren't the only delusional ones!

"Fired up, ready to go!"

"Yes, we can!"

I was concerned for my daughter's safety and told her to stay close to her boyfriend. She told me she saw only one counter-protester all day long.

She said the ground shook when the announcer asked:"Are there any Patriots here?"

I was in the front of the march so got a spot on the Capitol lawn.

About the same spot I was in for 43's inaugural.

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.

I found it on Youtube. This video took place immediately after showing the guy with the AK47 (which I still don’t know if it was real or an airsoft gun). This video was posted by the left - which is obvious by the title. But, he actual sets the record straight.

That is yesterday’s thread. It is more representative than today’s because we had so many people cutting to attend the Tea Party. Below is my profile where he can get the low down.

So, who's going to be the first to add a wikipedia page about today's 2M Washington Tea Party? Ought to be a separate article from the Tea Party Protests.

I noticed the MSNBC web article only includes photos (all four, yes count them four photos) that are close-in that make it appear that the crowd consists of a hundred or so people.

No wide shots at all. Go figure.

This was my daughter's mobile Facebook post just before 10:00am Saturday morning:
I can't express how happy it makes me feel to have these Patriots on the metro wearing red white and blue and chatting about their love for their country! What a change in the usual atmosphere around here...Yesterday at 8:07am · Comment · Like / Unlike · View Feedback (4)
