Via Capitalist Coffee, (Good to the last Drachma!) amazing photo of the September 13th Tea Party in Washington DC. Definitely click to enlarge, to see it full-sized:

Related: From Tabatha Hale, “Setting The Record Straight: My Diabolical Tea Party Attendance ‘Misinformation Campaign.’”

Meanwhile, in a new article here at Pajamas HQ, Charlie Martin confirms that the above photo was indeed taken on 9/12 (as opposed to the Promise Keepers photo which made the rounds on Saturday, a photo of  a conservative event from the mid-’90s that similarly received anemic legacy press coverage). He then adds the new photo to the data used for his previous crowd estimates and concludes, “Yeah, It Was Big.”

So (to coin a phrase), how big was it?

    Thanks Ed – That’s what we aim for – reactionary bourgeois flavor in every cup!

    I think Maxine Waters should have all of those RACISTS investigated.
    There must be 2 or 3 hundred of them.

    We came, we saw, and we conquered. And we did it trash free. No trashing of cars or porta-potties. No cars turned over. No broken windows. No brawls. This movement is about NO MORE! We are sick to death of of being taxed to death for commiting the crime of working and being treated like we are mere cows from which the government sucks our teats to enrich their personal lives by giving hand outs.

    We are not stupid cows and we will be silent no more.
