500,000 not enough for fox--how many teabaggers?
   
Cavuto kept belittling the million man march for only having 500,000 folks.

How many teabaggers were there? Series, I NEED TO KNOW.

I find it funny that he chose the name of one of the most famous traitors of ancient times as his handle.

BTW, EXCELLENT commentary:

Couldn't make the party?
Media conspicuously turning blind eye to tea party movement
Augusta Chronicle Editorial Staff
Wednesday, April 15, 2009

They made a superstar of lone Iraq War protester Cindy Sheehan. They cover every G-8 protest -- involving paid protesters, by the way -- like it's the second coming of the American Revolution.

Yet, when ordinary Americans are mad enough to take to the streets -- as they will tonight at the Augusta Tea Party and other tea parties across the nation -- the mainstream media are wholly unimpressed.

On Monday, as momentum began in earnest for today's tea parties to protest runaway federal spending, CNN.com's feature story was that women over 55 are flocking to Facebook.

The other big news of the day: The Obamas name their dog.

The mainstream media seem not to want this protest to happen -- while they gleefully report on any protest pushing left-wing notions.

In the alternative, they desperately want the tea party movement to be a passing fancy.

"I'd bet my Borsalino hat that five years from now the tea party of 2009 is going to be considered little more than a fad that flopped," writes blogger John Tantillo. "In fact, it shouldn't even be compared to the monumental event that kicked our great country off with a rebellious bang."

We'll see. But why declare the movement a failure before it's even been given a chance -- unless it doesn't fit with your agenda?

Not everyone is that close-minded. As the left-wing media snore and sniff their noses at the tea partiers, an online citizen-journalist site called Pajamas TV says it has more than 200 volunteer citizen-journalists covering the tea parties.

Media critic Howard Kurtz oddly chastised Fox News Channel for covering the tea party movement too much -- but added, "On the other hand, CNN and MSNBC may have dropped the ball by all-but-ignoring the protests."

Some think this is a partisan thing. It isn't, and it can't be. George W. Bush and his Republican co-dependents in Congress outspent everyone else in U.S. history, and the Democrats under Obama are doubling down on it.

They're all to blame.

Whether this grass roots anger is a fad or not is wholly up to the people involved. If they just want to vent, then the air will escape quickly.

If, on the other hand, people truly are concerned about and willing to work to fix our country's economic future, then it will indeed be a movement.

And much of the news media will have been caught by surprise.

(The Augusta Tea Party will be from 5 to 10 p.m. today at the Jessye Norman Amphitheater on the Augusta Riverwalk downtown. )

Du seemed deflated today by the success of the tea parties. Kind of like when Sarah Palin burst on the scene and surprised and alarmed them by her popularity. Their knee jerk reaction was to post their regular sexist, classist drivel until the astroturfers showed up, refined the message and told them what to think. So I'm guessing tomorrow there's going to be a concentrated effort by Rahm and company to discredit the tea parties and unify the message. We'll see which memes, so nicely highlighted by dutch, are going to be selected by the White House to smear us right-wing extremists tomorrow.

Excellent job, Dutch bringing all of that over here. It is obviously freaking them out! I said in another thread, I went to the party in ATL, and there were more than 20,000 ppl there. It was like being at a rock concert, and I was waaaaay down the block. It was spread over 5 blocks, easily. As for "people of color," I saw a good many Hispanic, black, Asian, Indian, etc. I think it depends on the area. I didn't see any  problems, but of course could only see a small portion. I am ready to do it again, and if we don't keep it up, it will be all for naught.Viva La Redneck Revolucion!

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.

And as for the "where were we during Bush" nonsense, we weren't protesting because a: we were too busy working (you DUmmies should try it sometime), and b: we used the ballot box. We were voting the big spenders out of Congress. That's why the Republicans lost in 2006 and again 2008. Unfortunately, a lot of them apparently haven't learned their lesson yet.

If there ever were an expert on tea bagging it would be Anderson Cooper.

Dutch, over a hundred threads???!!!  I thought this was an insignificant non-event; certain newspapers did not cover it, perhaps opting instead for a local story about the elected dogcatcher with a heart of gold, or something.
