CNN reporting Boston Teabagger crowd is small. LOL
And remember, the Boston Commons has a lot of people there anyway and many would just be hanging out to see what's happening.

12. If you are standing within the approxiamete area you're considered part of the protest
Even if you just happen to be heading somewhere to lunch and have no clue what's going on.

14. "Tens of thousands" Bill Hemmer
Reporter on scene: "As far as the eye can see"

Hemmer also asked the reporter about the anti tea bag protesters:

Reporter: "Yes we have seen them maybe 100 carrying not so nice signs"

O BROTHER

13. Huh... MSNBC said . . "Up to 10,000 people". .
So I guess that could be 8,758; or 2,443; or 132. . . whatever.

20. That wasn't MSNBC...
That was some right-wing teabag pundit, who was immediately laughed at by the requisite left-wing pundit.
It wasn't a news report. I hope.

The overhead photo I saw showed possibly hundreds.

Tea Party Express returns to its roots in Boston
By GLEN JOHNSON (AP) – 54 minutes ago

BOSTON — The tea party movement returned Wednesday to the city from which its revolutionary spirit was born, with Sarah Palin headlining a rally before the activists' cross-country tour culminates in Washington on Tax Day.

About 1,000 assembled on Boston Common in the early morning sunshine, just across town from Boston Harbor, where the original Tea Party occurred in 1773 among colonists upset about British taxation without government representation.
