It is too bad that people who are uninformed think that these tea parties have to do with any political party. As the speakers said in Philly's Love Park today, this is not about being anything but an American who cares about their country. Stop this non-sense about it being about your side or the other side! Frankly, we are tired of both sides antics, rants, and whining!

10,000 in Sacramento, CA.

Too bad Fox didn't show the tape that was running when Cavuto was not aware his mike was on. He discussed the attendance with a Fox crew member. They agreed that the number was probably 5,000. Cavuto then went on the air and annouced it at twice or three times that. You are the most naive person who ever posted here.

3500.

Per statistician extraordinaire Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight.com

you're so predictably dishonest.

Insanity? Looks like freedom of speech and peaceful assembly to me. Don't you believe in freedom of speech and the freedom of assembly?

The LA TIMES is just getting beat up daily because of their attitude toward an earlier rally. They didn't even cover it.

Boy, howdy......they are sorry now.

The reporters are steamed!

Naive Ann: The LA Times is not sorry. They do not care what you n u t jobs think. They are involved in the reporting of REAL news--not de lu sio nal fringe jobs roaming the streets ba bb ling.

This has got to be one of the most hilarious things I've seen in years. Do these people have no clue that the record deficit that we are enjoying today was run up by none other than the Rs? And the increase in big governemnt was done by the people who ran up the deficit by cutting taxes while waging a war of choice? Stupidity abounds in America...the R agenda to dumb down America is definitely a mission accomplished in spades. Too bad it is such a resounding success!

This teabagging event is none other than a rightwing, wingnut plan by uberwealthy conservatives who are furious that they will have to pay more taxes because the Obama White House is lowering the tax rate for middle and low income taxpayers. The fact that FOX Nutwork is behind this sleazy scheme should tip off hardworking taxpayers, but like the Barnum and Baley circus promoters stated a long time ago, "There's a sucker born every minute...." Go figure!!!

you are correct! Insanity is the operative word of this story.

Very "sane" assessment!

These tea parties were not about right-wingers, independents, or democrats. I saw plenty of Obama hat wearing civil Americans out in Philadelphia's Tea Party today, I am proud to say that.
