Wow! and on a week-end too. I don't think we have too much to fear from these tea swillers.

'Tea Party Express' stop in Phoenix draws crowd

The "Tea Party Express" was greeted by about 1,200 to 1,500 supporters as it rolled into Phoenix on Sunday, the third stop on a three-week, cross-country tour that ends in Washington, D.C., on April 15.

Activists from across Arizona and from as far as Seattle ...

1. If they stand very close together that qualifies as crowded, right??

[Tesha]

11. If they all try, all at once, to get into the Grand Buffet for "all you can eat lunch", ...

...*THEN* they may qualify as a crowd.

2. JD Haystack could be counted as 6 all by himself.

What a collection of fools.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. Exactly 70 times smaller than the Iraq War protest I went to in '03.

Also exactly 700 times the media exposure.

[Raschel]

6. 70 times smaller and 10 times older. Bunch of snuggie wearers.

4. I think it's kind of funny!. . .for me, the tea party is like a "reality TV show,"

kind of fun to watch, but would never want to get involved!

Just looking at "weird" people "faking" reality!

It's actually pretty good entertainment. . .but nothing more!

5. You know what palin said

how's that hopey changey going for you. Well people from as far away as Seattle can't vote in Arizona but then I suppose tea bags will probably want to get on that hopey change and let them.

7. To Glenn Beck, 1,200 is a million, or a billion, or a quadzillionmillion!!!

Anyone figure out what college Beck got his bogus crowd estimate from? He refused to reveal his mysterious source. Where I come from I call that LYING! Yes Beck, you are a goddamned liar who will certainly go to hell...

9. Beck's estimations are merely little kid numbers.

He knows that 1,000 Kazillion kerfillion people converged in AZ for the rally. Real fancy pants numbers have a liberal bias, you know. :D

[Turbineguy]

8. But half those people

were there for the comedy effect.

10. "But, but, but... don't take them lightly..."

"They're a political force to be reckoned with!"

I can't stand when people repeat this...esp. on DU. :(

[damntexdem]

12. Oh, so they didn't ship all of their 'supporters' from the Nevada rally?

Why didn't their corporate masters fund them to ship more 'local supporters' from wherever they hire them?
