There were 20 from only one of the lists in CO alone, 20 per state is lowballing it. Undercovered doesn't mean that they didn't exist Desh, only that people like you support the negligence of the press when it fits your agenda.
The negligence of the press? Which "tea party" events of any significance were not covered? Name them. Seriously. Where in Colorado were these events held?

Damo , I do not fear a rash of tree spiking is about to take place , do you?
I do fear that we will soon have another Murrah building type attack. The pieces are all in place just like they were in 1995. Its been jacked up by the rabid right and magnified by the fact thaObama is black.
I told you they would change the size of the turnout.
Hear you are doing just that.

All I am asking is that you frame your agruements in adult ways and not play into the false outrage on the right fringe.
All I ask is you dont ignore the fact that this happened once before and to try to keep in mind what your words convey to people.
Saying he will take your guns away when you know he wont.
Saying He is taxing you to death when Reagan had a higher tax rate on the weathy than Obama is implimenting.
Saying hes a fascist when that defies the definition of the word.
Talking about seceding from the Union and the like and then calling out those on your side who do it and telling them to stop the stupidity.
Peoples lives depend on you not acting like idiots and history has shown this.

Denver, CO Springs, Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Fort Collins, Arvada, Lakewood, Elbert, etc.
The attempt was to make them as local as possible.
Like I said, if the press ignored protests that you liked like this you would be up in arms. When it fits your agenda, you think it's awesome and pretend it is evidence that people weren't really there. When the Bush Admin used areas for protesters it was cages, when Obama did it was superfantastic and especially better that they were even further away so that nobody need to bother with them. We can go on, but we already know what a hack looks like.

I could care less that Obama is black, in fact, he's only HALF black. what difference does his race or color make when he's financially bankrupting the nation?

250 cities Damo.
that means there were not many more than 250 protests.
even at 900 (too high a number bacause most had a couple humdered at most) that isd 225,000.
I knew the number would be played with which is why I was trying to show you compared to other events.
That is why the next one is on july 4th. to pad the numbers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_bag_protest#Turnout
April 15 was the date of the largest number of tea parties, with demonstrations reported to be occurring in more than 750 cities.[34] Actual numbers of protesters varied from location to location. Statistican and liberal political activist Nate Silver noted the largest protests were in capitals and large cities, while many others had little or no reliable media coverage and were not included. He reported cumulative crowd size from various newspapers to be around 311,460 for 346 cities, including essentially all large cities and state capitals.[70] Christian Science Monitor has stated that "By some estimates, over half a million Americans took to the streets", which would make the protests the largest since March 25, 2006, where 750,000 protested in support of rights and protections for immigrants. It also stated that "Critics doubt the higher estimates of the turnout, and say the numbers represent the extreme right rather than a burgeoning political counterpoint to President Obama and current Washington policies."

Again, even in this story they say 13 places in CO alone. However there were more than that. The 13 number comes from only one organizer's site. They hardly filmed the one in Denver, let alone worked researching the many different sources.
It's cool though, you can believe what you will, because these will only be successful if future demonstrations are larger, if they generate interest in like-minded people. I have no certain belief or opinion on whether this was a beginning or an ending. It could be either IMO.
Hilarious. I'm sure the 20 people that showed up at the Boulder post office resulted in severe underreporting. And the Lakewood folks seem to have merged with the Denver folks.
And you are several towns short of 20 but I'm sure you can rifle off about 11 more. Now, whether they held any tea party events is another matter altogether.
Again, that is less than half. Do you ever read what you link to? He says there were "over 750" of them, then reports estimated numbers from about 340 of them. And he isn't "my guy".

LMAO.... ok desh... you proclaim people are playing with the numbers.... yet you proclaim that most sites only had a couple hundred at most.
Please provide us with your evidence to suggest that MOST only had a couple hundred. Please, we eagerly await your evidence. Because we KNOW you would not be on here accusing others of false data and then turning around and pulling arbitrary data out of your ass and pretending you know what you are talking about. you wouldn't do that would you desh?

There are 15 right there....
now, please post where you got your numbers at from Boulder. Thanks.
I'd be happy with 300,000, if it continues to grow in the future. That's always been what I said we should measure "success" as. If this was an ending to the "movement" then it was pretty short-lived and small, if it is just a beginning, it's going to be huge.
That doesn't change that I believe that there were more than that and that this is underreported. But if that's what you want to believe, that is a good starting number.

I'm more convinced than ever that the MSM will continue to underreport the numbers of these TEA protests because it furthers their interests in promoting the fantasy vision of disgruntled right wingers.
