interesting how the range can be so wide, from as little as 60,000 to 70,000 to as high as almost 2 million.
wall st journal says "tens of thousands". daily mail uk says "as many as one million" in the article body and "up to two million" in the title page.
whatever the number, it was significant. and i think the most disturbing part is not the number of people but the fact that these americans are being demonized and dismissed as right wing conservatives/nut jobs or flat out racists. nothing could be further from the truth. and to say anything else is only an attempt to draw attention away from what they are protesting against.
protesting anything these days in the US is now looked down upon. any dissent of any kind, especially anything anti obama is immediately dismissed and demonized as being a right wing or racist.
it's incredible how the media openly mocks and belittles the tea party protesters. what ever happened to non biased reporting? it's quite scary, especially the level of fanaticism, cult of personality and indoctrination that is occurring.
it's like criticizing israel. god forbid you say anything against israel before you are labled anti semitic.
interesting times.
