LOTS OF CITIZEN REPORTING FROM THE FULLERTON TEA PARTY PROTEST, where many thousands — 8-15,000 depending on the estimate — showed up for the biggest crowd so far.

UPDATE: A reader emails: ‘I’m just wondering if 8-15 thousand at Fullerton is enough for doom sayers like Rick Moran and others to deign to join in.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Antoinette Aubert writes:

The Fullerton Tea Party was promoted on the John and Ken radio show in Los Angeles all last week. John and Ken have a very popular show out here with a lot of listeners hence the large turnout. John and Ken by the way are not Republican by any stretch of the imagination or even conservative. They are very much a “pox on both your houses.” The success of their rally makes me wonder why conservative talk show hosts are not pushing this more. If a local station can get 8 -15,000 people imagine what Hugh Hewitt or Sean Hannity could pull off, never mind Rush Limbaugh.

Indeed.

UPDATE: A blog report.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Little Miss Attila isn’t that impressed with John & Ken.
