20 eh now that is a bit of a lie. I saw Beck there today and there were many many there along with Ted Nugent supplying the music for them and that was even before the official party started for the protest!

More proof that journalism as we use to know is officially dead. This woman is a complete joke.

I expected a much higher turnout... estimates say at least 26,000 nationwide... probably more but not any where near what I thought.

I said virtually the same thing to my other half tonight. Only I asked: "How is it that it's so easy for these people to be cajoled into protesting against their own interests, on behalf of the rich?" His response: "You need to reread your Gramsci."

Oh right, I forgot. The "tea parties" are only to protest against tax HIKES on the rich, not against their tax FLIGHT.
So why are you an Obama supporter? He is only bailing out the bankers (i.e. rich ) too.

WRONG -- the protests are about using taxpayer dollars and creating hyperinflation to bailout greedy lenders and irresponsible borrowers.

You mean bailing out the bankers that were allowed to ride roughshod over the American economy for the past 8 years?

When the Republicans come up with a better plan--something other than "give the poor rich tax relief"--I'll listen.

Sure they are. Most of those protesters can't even balance their own bank accounts, much less understand the mechanisms of the American economy.
