Red Dog Report h/t:

So what is the final number at Glenn Beck’s rally? Some say 500,000.  Others 300,000 people. In fact, I would venture to say there were as many black persons at Beck’s rally than were at Sharpton’s, who had 3,000.

…2,000 – 3,000 turned out at Al’s counter freedom rally.
From the The Washington Post.

“Let the line stretch. They already going to say there were only 2,000 or 3,000 of you here,” Sharpton said. “If people start heckling smile at them. This aint about you, it’s about Dr. King.”

The media is not airing any crowd shots at this time.

Jaime Contreras, local SEIU president added this:

“Shame on them. We still have a dream. We are here to let those folks on the Mall know that they don’t represent the dream. They sure as hell don’t represent me. They represent hate-mongering and angry white people. The happy white people are here today. We will not let them stand in the way of the change we voted for!”…

Tea Party Express vs. Reporters

  • Two reporters engage in a heated exchange with black conservative leaders at a press conference at the National Press Club on August 4, 2010 challenging the NAACP on its charges of racism within the tea party.

(As an aside of a comment from the above presser… If one wants to see all the camera angles during the time these congressman said the “N” word was used and the spit was issued – GO HERE.)

  • A resident of the Austin community, Jean Ray, says after 40 years of Democratic party control over the black community, the policies “are hurting,” and if there were Republicans willing to do the right job in her community, she would vote for them. (BREITBART)

From The Hill:

Four in 10 Tea Party members are either Democrats or Independents, according to a new national survey. The findings provide one of the most detailed portraits to date of the grassroots movement that started last year. The national breakdown of the Tea Party composition is 57 percent Republican, 28 percent Independent and 13 percent Democratic, according to three national polls by the Winston Group, a Republican-leaning firm that conducted the surveys on behalf of an education advocacy group. Two-thirds of the group call themselves conservative, 26 are moderate and 8 percent say they are liberal.


Here is 10,000 pennies on the subject that explains why many conservatives jumped ship from Bush’s spending policies:

This reminds me of the 80’s political spoof (really dig on 80’s conservatives), Bob Roberts. This video comes with thanks to Libertarian Republican.

The Ballad of the Tea Party

Written and Performed by Joel Pollak (R)

Nominee for Congress – 9th District, Illinois

Chicago Tax Day Tea Party

Daley Plaza, Chicago, Illinois

April 15, 2010

On a cold night in Boston, three ships in the dock

With their valuable cargo still waiting to stock

But the colonists wont pay the duty on tea

And the governor wont let the ships out to sea

(Chorus)

Sing – hey, hey, what do we say?

American freedom is here to stay!

Hey, hey, what do we say?

Dont tax our freedom away!

Now the Crown has been adding new fees by the score

And the people dont think they can bear any more

Yet they dont have a vote, so they dont have a say

And theyre starting to talk about breaking away

(Chorus)

Now the people have gathered round the Old Meeting House

If the governor listens, theyll still hear him out

But Sam Adams, he reads the report with a frown

So the people decide that the tea must do down

(Chorus)

So they don their disguises and clamber aboard

And the governors tea is soon tossed overboard

And the news spreads throughout the thirteen colonies

That our countrys new motto is Dont Tread On Me.

(Chorus)

Now today we have gathered–young, old, black, and white

And weve all got the vote, so we dont need to fight

But if Washington taxes our future away

Then well throw them all out on Election Day!

(Chorus)
