Yes, They're Real. And They're Spectacular
Michelle Malkin reports that the Daily Kostards are in denial about the size of the crowd of patriots turned out to protest the socializing of America.
The claim is that the shot came from the Kennedy procession or a previous left-wing protest and that the flag at half-mast proves that it was “fake.”
Newsflash for the clueless: Flags were still at half-mast earlier today in honor of the murder victims of the 9/11 jihadi attacks.
Guess the 9/11-was-an-inside jobbers are still that much in denial.
Or maybe the moonbat left simply refuses to recognize a "real" protest unless there are geriatric harridans in pink feather boas, phony soldiers lying about atrocities they didn't really see because they were never in Iraq, or busloads of dirty hippies with ponytails in the back and nothing on top.

As a Brit I am so jealous of you Yanks. You have the, to use your own terminology,gumption to get off your arses and fight for your rights and freedom, while our oligarchy collude with international terrorist states like Libya, and the British taxpayer is content to get rammed up the butt by the government. The last person to do anything about it here was Tyler Wat in 1381!
God keep you all and God bless you.

Arch, my wife, who is British, expressed exactly the same sentiments. "You've got to hand to Americans - when they don't like something, they speak up about it, loud and clear, and they do something about it."

Btw, I can definitively prove that the photo above was not taken at a leftist demonstration: not a single papier mache head.
QED.

I thin it is a question of if you are fed up enough. The economy here has been bad enough long enough that some people are starting to feel a measure of despair - and they don't like it.

Nancy - you are so right. I keep my telling my friends and family (whom most have their head in the sands) that people will not unite and defeat the enemy until they're close to penniless.
The anger and despair in the air is palpable.

The way you can tell it was us and not them is we leave the place cleaner than it was before we got there, they leave a trail of trash wherever they go, like the slime trail of a slug.

Malkin posted the live cam screen shot to her blog site. Where did the live cam shot come from? Providing that link would show the nutroots the truth and prove the "live cam shot" isn't from another event.

Here is the traffic cam site the film came from. http://www.trafficland.com/city/WAS/?rsid=weatherbug. Of course now it's showing the live traffic from today, so I'm not sure that will help fight off the nutroot claims. Hubby and I were there. It was amazing.

What would happen if 1 million of the Tea Party protesters forget to pay their taxes?

The same people who said it would be impossible to track down and deport 10,000,000 illegals would demand they be tracked down and jailed.

Awesome, thanks Van.

Kim, thanks so much for being there! This was a great 38 seconds spent in my life watching this.

Silence from the trolls.
Either they're scared to death or they're recovering from a weekend out doing X and clubbing.

Oh, they'll be here, SK. They always show up eventually.

In other interesting news, they had the March For Healthcare in Washington today. On Daily Kos they are calling it "small but mighty." Approximately 300 people showed up. I don't think we'll be seeing any traffic cam pictures of the crowds.

I, my wife, other friends from the peoples' republic of massachusetts were there at 8:00 a.m.
This photo is no fake. We watched the people keep coming off the Federal Triangle metro station and they kept coming, coming, coming, coming and coming. I am sure they were also coming off of other stations close by. By the way that flag viewed from the ground was actually at 3/4 staff. I and my friends, all vets, commented that maybe Pelosi caused that flag to be flown that way. In fact the building with the flag was the Marriott. We could see a number of people were up and behind the flag. I am sure that was where the photo was taken. If the moonbats hadn't been so damned scared to come down and look, they would have known how big the crowd was. When I got to the Capitol are I got in line for the porta potties and for the hour and a half it took to get to the facilites the they kept coming up Pennsylvania Ave.

Wow, 300? There are 400 people in the U.S. who have two heads. /g
Poor Reds. They're like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Destined always to try, but always to fail - the definition of losers.
