Tea Party
Beck vs Sharpton
Swift Arrow 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!”…

(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:
