First there were 180,000, then 250,000, last night Steele said over 300,000.
And today Tammy Bruce is claiming over 1 million teabaggers. What a joke.

Get this, in response to Garofalo, she says the party she went to was the most diverse in America, young and old, gay and straight, all minorities and many many African-Americans.

Now that's change they can believe in/ All of a sudden they are the big tent now.

2. They know it was a FAIL. They're running scared and when Rush
came out and just about confirmed it with his hope that they wouldn't run to a third party. Pretty much a confirmation on what a fail it was, at least IMHO.

8. It was a miserable failure. I read somewhere that Fox
News had all these special banners and headlines made up, they were really going to play it big, but it failed.

Seems to me it was their last effort at legal means of dislodging Obama. They have tried the courts, the ballot box, and a "revolution".

The teabagging backfired on them badly. They had some moderates and independents getting scared with their propaganda and then they showed their true colors, moving the people they were trying to get, right back solidly in Obama's camp.

5. Really? Where's the video of AA's and young people, not to mention anyone
other than white, middle-aged to elderly and arguably mostly of the hick variety. I think of all the footage I saw of these things, I saw MAYBE
one or two black folks and a couple of children. I don't remember anyone mentioning their sexuality either - mostly they just yelled stuff about socialism or fascism....

Repubs are such effin' liars. Jeebus.

7. All the minorities there were probably the cops protecting them
paid for, of course, by taxes.

It amazes me how they say a thing, and therefore it exists.

15. Here's a good one just spotted in freeperland.

And this in response to Pelosi's statement about how narrow the tea parties were:

"Pelosi is EVIL, just as Obama is EVIL.

We saw no one of "color" at our tea party... ."

:rofl:

I swear I'm not making this up. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2232482/posts

19. When did Obama only have 300,000?
Maybe at a rally in a small-town?

22. What can say to this?
I know... ha ha ha. That is good one, HopeOverFear. And you are right. Obama was pulling enough supporters to fill up whole stadiums to overflowing. That freeper must have been out of his mind when made comment like that. Obama's rallies were bigger then Sarah 'I am environmental hazard' Palin & John 'I have a temper' McCain rallies combined.

And that was just on a rainy day. Which if I recalled correctly didn't seem to happen often. Heck, even the weather loved Obama to give him a perfect weather for his convention. The Republicans on the other hand... That hurricane really mucked up their convention. Some of the Republicans were wishing for the Democratic Convention to have bad weather and they got visited with it instead. At this point I think the Republicans need to sit down and shut up. They screwed up everything with their wasteful spending ways. Now they want to scream 'Fiscal responsibility' when it comes to the economy... Uh... excuse me while I laugh at their sheer hipocrisy. The Republican Party is a party of hipocrites and arrogant fools. They never take responsibility for their own screw ups and blame everyone else. How pathetic...

Gay Repuke token. I wonder what they say behind her back. Because it's obvious she doesn't see what they say to her face.

21. Is she surrounded by lightning rods to ward of the inevitable bolts
of lightning that must be raining down on her constant lying.

She's one of the worst out there, because she just makes it all up as she goes along. And her claims, quite often, are even more outrageous than Rushbo's. She hasn't met a truth that she can come close to.

26. Well, if there was any doubt about the repuke's inability to stick to a budget
there shouldn't be any now.

Clearly these idiots can't count.
