Tea Partiers in Jefferson City. Sorry about the bad stitch. |
I don't know ... maybe 150 people, total on our side by the time everyone showed up. I think they may have had a little more on the other side. 200 or so. They were packed in tighter by the war memorial. We were kind of spread out and diffuse.
One of the more amusing things is that we had the "good" side of the Capitol, the south lawn, and a decent sound system. So several of the union supporters came to our side first thinking it was their rally. They quickly figured it out with the smattering of Gadsden flags and T.E.A. hats (made to look like D.E.A. hats). "Tyranny Eradication Association", I think Diane said.
Infiltrators? Or just a couple of nuts there on their own? Some of ours went over to make it clear they weren't with us. |
They may have just been a couple of sincere idiots there on their own.
The speakers had some good things to say. Kept it brief and interesting. I got to meet James Hoft (The Gatweay Pundit -- his post on the event is here) and RK Martin from St. Louis TEA Party. Saw Diane, Sonia, Phil, and a couple of others from ours and the California Tea Party.
Good showing. I think we made our point.
Union rally is below.
