So if 2% of those 1.4M emailed teabaggers...per week... send in their $57.76.... = about $16M. PER WEEK.

cost: .25/postcard, x (535 x 28000) = about $3.5M. Dont know the cost of faxing but it cant be as much as bulk rate postcards.

I am SO in the wrong line of work.

He's also in some sort of Minuteman Project trouble as well.

As many as it takes for you and the others to wise up.

Still not buying the entire "Obama is a fake American" scheme (given the lack of evidence). It would be a lot more effective if the GOP stuck by the more traditional "Democrats are going to take your guns away" line

Default Fox "News" Avoids a Tea Party

No wonder nobody heard about the Tea Party protests this weekend--Fox didn't cover them.

I'm sure Fox lovers will disagree with the assessment below. So why do YOU think Fox didn't cover the "Can You Heard Me Now?" protests.

"A protest of journalistic malpractice clearly hit too close to home for Fox News," said Eric Burns, President of Media Matters for America. "Fox's silence during this weekend's protests is a clear sign that the criticism coming from the White House, journalists, and progressive organizations is having an impact."

Don't you know that teabaggers are gays engaged in a gay sex act?



The left wingers are terrified of the tax tea protestors and the fact Aerica is waking up to this criminal administration and how the left wingers are destroying this country. BOO!

Did these protests actually happen? My google search turned up lots of articles about the upcoming protests, but nothing about the actual events! Of course, here in metro Denver it was 68 degrees and gorgeous. Maybe everyone was out having a good time!

Actually, it's just conventional politics. When conservatives are in control, liberals protest because they feel they are not being represented.

When liberals are in control, conservatives protest.

Nothing really radical or different going on. No one's waking up to anything. Just politics as usual and Obama, of all people, celebrates the tea party protests as evidence our system is working.

Look - another positive thing Obama said about America! Still waiting for you to come up with your own to prove yourself wrong.

They did, but they were poorly attended and the "movement" appears to be losing steam. The largest crowd was apparently at CNN's Atlanta headquarters, but other protests drew few Teabaggers.

Fox didn't even cover the protests.
