The Teabagger Convention has 600 people attending. The Tucson Gem Show has thousands there.

[Hello_Kitty]

Since when does a podunk conference with 600 people warrant such fawning MSM coverage?

[msongs]

1. complete media blackout on the totally racist nature of the event as well nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. 600? 600? More folks show up at outdoor flea markets on rainy Sundays

[niyad]

3. thank you for reminding me about one of my favourite events for many years.

that, and the quartzite powwow just before it.

4. My dad & I used to go to that show every year.

he's a major rock hound.

[niyad]

5. and this is the same msm that barely covers the peace protestors, the pro-choice marches, or

anything else not clearly reichwing.

[iceman66]

6. Because the media is our enemy.

They are becoming more blatant about it every day.

[spanone]

7. since they have the right-winged goddess sarah palin speaking...if not for her...no media

[randr]

8. Multiple thousands of people will be at concerts this weekend

Rock and Roll must be taking over the world!

[onethatcares]

9. hell, we get 200-250 for the

St Petersburg Coin Club show every month. Freaking media never shows up.

[rucky]

10. I just had an idea.

We should send news releases to CNN for every event with over 600 in attendence, and describe it as "bigger than the Teabag Convention"

[Hello_Kitty]

12. That's a great idea.

Shoot, a good yard sale here in Phoenix will draw more people than that.

11. I'd definitely prefer

watching a box of fancy rock to these idiots. At least the gems have an excuse for being as dumb as a box of rocks.

Moose mama, and her handlers are squeezing every dollar they can from the stupid morons(morans)The media moguls send out their flunkys to garners viewers.(slow news day.)
