As I have been trying to tell people all along, the whole Tea-Bag Protest thing has been a farce, starting with the numbers the tea-baggers claim to have drawn...They say around 2 million people..lol....while the Washington D.C. Dept. of Fire and Emergency estimates their numbers at around 70,000 total....(less than a baseball game)
Of course, "inflating their numbers" is a tactic taught to them by Dick Armey's public relations firm, who is orchestrating this little comedy. Here, take a look for yourself in this article written by a former "insider" to the "game": Lies, Intimidation and the Insurance Industry
And HERE is another: Right Wing Harassment Strategy Against Dem's Detailed In Memo
BUT NOW, according to the Huffington Post, they've been caught in one of their lies. A photo the tea-bag conservatives been circulating that they claim shows their "immense number of protesters" is in fact OVER FIVE YEARS OLD and was taken at another event altogether. This photo shows people reaching all the way to 15th St. or more, while the Fire Dept. spokesman said the tea-bag protesters, once they'd reached the capital, only filled the capital grounds...perhaps as far as 3rd St.
Dick Armey, fix your skirt, your tactics are showing!

Here is the article from the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/14/912-tea-party-photo-false_n_286082.html
