BTPers even more pathetic than expected

As the old Cheerios commercial used to say: I did it!

I went to Fountain Square in Cincinnati today to witness the Tea Party farce. This so-called grassroots event wasn't grassroots at all: It was actually bankrolled by right-wing foundations and corporations, and most of the rally participants were professional right-wing agitators who travel from city to city for events like this.

The fact that they are professional rabble-rousers is the main reason the various cities' Tea Parties aren't all on the same day. It's because they can't be in all the cities at once.

Nothing wrong with showing your support for a cause in different cities, but why do they have to deny it?

Suffice it to say, the BTPers made even bigger fools of themselves today than I could have ever expected.

The event certainly did not attract the 3,000 to 5,000 people there they claimed. They had enough people to nearly fill Fountain Square, but Fountain Square ain't that big. (It takes up less than half of a small city block.) It certainly wasn't standing room only.

In fact, it was pathetic. They were such clowns that I'm going to be posting the hilarious (if not damning) photos and videos of the event for days. This is an embarrassment to savor!

And yes, there were counterdemonstrators. That includes the motorcyclists who jeered at the BTPers. (That was a great moment!)

I didn't confront the BTPers, because they've become such background noise that they have almost no effect anymore. In short, they're not even worth it. They're kind of like the neo-Nazis I saw at the laundromat yesterday. Losers through and through.

Hell, you could barely hear the nobodies who they had on the stage speaking! It sounded like they didn't even figure out how to turn the microphone on until 10 minutes into the speeches!

Lots of laughs today! And more details are coming.
