BBC: - an overwhelmingly white, middle-aged army
They came from as far away as Hawaii, Maine, and Texas - an overwhelmingly white, middle-aged army of angry conservatives, furious with government spending and influence, and ready to do whatever they can to stop it.

Did you notice that signs must have been outlawed inside. It's bad form when the elite baggers can't spell check.

3. Army? Which prompts me to ask: What would you call a group of teabaggers?
I don't think 600 people constitutes an army. More like, what, a company? What would one call a group of teabaggers?

I'll start:

A morass of teabaggers
An idiocy of teabaggers
A bludgeon of teabaggers

7. An army of 600! Why that's almost .000002 percent of America!
How can we stand up to those odds?
