Dave, this post is about the May 21st event, not the April 15 event. Other media outlets reported maybe 50, but no one ever reported 200 people.

I was looking for information regarding the June 10 Tea Party and found this about the April 15th party.
I guess nobody from the Rutherford County Democratic Party actually attended if they reported only 20 people showed up. I was there for most of it, and I would say around 200 people attended.
Great reporting there, guys. It’s like you work for the mainstream media, including FOX. You don’t even know what’s going on in your own county.

Here are at least three undisputed truths. If you dispute any of these things, you’re just kidding yourself.
-Government does absolutely nothing efficiently.
-Government gives nothing away. It only buys. What does it buy? Freedom, choice. So we give our government our money so they can eventually make our choices for us.
-Government never accurately estimates the cost of a social program, and it never overestimates the cost. So the idea that any politicians, republican or democrat, can budget for something they have no idea will cost is laughable.

Channel 5 did a report on these protests and never said how many people showed up. They also repeated what these people said they were protesting and never gave the opposite side of the story. This is the first report I’ve seen to lay out exactly what these people are protesting. Way more people gathered to protest the war and Channel 5 was no where to be found. Now these people protest money spent on veterans, schools and roads and they give them 2 whole minutes to whine on the TV. Thanks Channel 5!

I bet a lot of Republicans didn’t know this was going on. Some people need to see it on Fox News or hear Rush Limbaugh talk about it before they think it’s even real.

See what happens when corporations and big DC think tanks aren’t funding their “grassroots” movement?
