Tea Party At Its Dregs? Major Convention Attracts Few

"With Fox News host Glenn Beck’s ratings down and the biggest tea party rally eclipsed by a recent pro-labor rally in Wisconsin, could the tea party be losing steam? One new sign: a big tea party convention in Tampa, FL this weekend — headlined by such conservative favorites as Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), Fox News Judge Andrew Napolitano, and former GOP Congressman Tom Tancredo — attracted only about 300 people. The Save America Convention’s website lists 25 guest speakers, meaning there was one speaker for every 12 attendees. If one includes the 13 musicians and other performers listed as entertainment, that ratio drops to one for every 7 and a half.

Joseph Farah, the founder of the birther news website World Net Daily, who spoke at the event, promised “lots of opportunities for interactivity between participants and presenters.” Indeed, this photo from the convention posted by Saint Petersblog suggests attendees would have little competition to meet Farah and the other speakers:"

Said photo was taken 4 hours before the Convention began. But thats NOT relevant, is it?

And the source for the count? No, we've never seen a biased estimate of crowds before, huh? Like the laughable counts of the Glenn Beck Rally without photos, which the aerial photos would disprove the low ball counts.

Please, its far left opinion presented as a chronical of an event. It isn't, just more intellectually dishonest demagoguing.

Where does this schmuck get the 300 number? From the other liberal sites that got it wrong?

And it's a convention not a rally. You have a rally, you show up (or if you're liberal, paid to travel there). A convention, you pay money and stay at a hotel.

Why don't you wait until there's more evidence it's "dying"? Last November, the Democrats got shellacked - and they were *SURPRISED* by it.

Perhaps?

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
