Time Square (NYC) Tea Party Protest

Time Square (NYC) Tea Party Protest

I went to the Tea Party Protest today in Time Square (NYC). It was organized by http://www.teaparty365.org (http://www.teaparty365.org/?p=156). Despite some repeat signs advertising for that organization, I believe it to have been a genuine grassroots protest and it is not a close call (Berman Post: Grassroots vs Astroturf - How to Tell The Movements Apart).

I saw a few people on Twitter (Twitter.com/BermanPost) calling for infiltration and false flag activities at the Tea Party Protest, but I did not see anyone at the event actually do that. My turnout estimate is somewhere between 600-700, but I heard other people estimate that up to 1,000 people turned out. I was unable to get a shot from above, so for you to judge you will have to use the following two pictures. They do not include everyone, but it was the best I could do. The first one is toward the stage and expends out to the sides beyond the picture. The second one is from the same location as the first looking back. The crowd extends slightly past those large flags. Obviously also not shown are the people directly to my sides. As I said, not that good, but it was the best I could do. I saw some people taking pictures from the stage and passing tour buses so if you can find those photos they would make for better crowd estimates.





As usual, some of the better pictures are included below. A link to the rest of the photo album will be under that. Please link to this page (not the photo album) if you wish to use this post or show your readers the pictures (Thanks in advanced). No video this time because I was not in a good position and was focusing on getting shots of the signs. A number of people in the front appeared to be video taping the whole thing. I will try to find one of them and update this post with the link/video. If you find one first, please let me know by commenting with the location.










Shad and I wanted to pass this on to you for today's post. Get out this weekend and fine a rally somewhere to put in your mark. We all need to stand up and be counted....Shad says that all good dogs get a treat when they stand up and count. AMEN!AMEN!
