Tea Party -- Cleveland
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 01:35 PM by MineralMan
Well, one of the Tea Parties has come and gone, and there are photos of the Vast and Enormous Crowds from the Cleveland one. Here's a photo of one, plus a link to more. We're doomed!

5. I'm "embrassed". NOT.
The front Jacksonville "revolutionary" looks like he ate a bulk supply of tea.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, where are these people when Republicans genuinely waste their tax dollars? Or could it be that they're a bunch of stupid assholes who are simply trained to hate anything Democratic?

12. Protest: You're doing it wrong
After eight years of Bush, Republicans are going to seriously need to work on their protest skills.

14. I am guessing most of those folks are from the suburbs..As a bona-fide Clevelander,
I can verify that on any given day, there is someone or some (small) group in the southwest quadrant of Public Square squawking about something... 'hey, lets go to the big city and make some noise'.

29. Beachwood? No way.
They would have to dig them out of a mall somewhere.

West Side suburbs for sure.

37. Ohhhh, no, Drew is a West Side boy all the way.
Went to Rhodes HS, grew up in Old Brooklyn.

Never confuse a West Sider with a Parma native. You could get punched in the nose.

26. The French Revolution started in 1789

So now the teabaggers want to guillitine the rich and powerful, and seize their estates? They should have announced that to start with, I'm down with that!

27. Now they've got me wondering what it is they think happened in 1789.
Don't they know when our revolutionary war was?

Either that, or he's into Nazi paraphernalia. I'll believe either version.

21. I'd bet a sack of doughnuts he is yet another republicon chickenhawk
who never served a day in his life -- like Cheney, Lott, Delay, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity, and the other 'we want America to fail' so-called Heroes for Republicon Homelanders

40. Silly DUers! No wonder so few were at the above mentioned gatherings...the real action was in DC
Tens of angry protesters showed up to hear all 60 seconds of keynote speaker Joe the Used to be plumber, who now represents PJtv.
