Very few July 4th, 2010 Tea Parties compared to last year
Last July 4th, the tea parties movement was in full swing with thousands of people attending events held across the country. This year was a much more muted affair with a few small events held here and there; gone are the glory days of appearances by Mickey Dolenz and Stephen Crowder. The calendar for the Tea Party "Patriots" shows just 51 events for yesterday: http://www.teapartypatriots.org/Today.aspx?date=7/4/2010.
Apparently the message sent by Dick Armey and by the Koch family came through loud and clear.
Possibly related:
- Even Dick Armey realizes how toxic the "Tea Party" label is
- Tea parties have arrived! Paul Krugman does hit piece on them.
- Glenn Beck "Restoring Honor" rally linked to Dick Armey (Koch too?)
- Teaparty leader Dick Armey now wants Mitch Daniels for president
- ACORN doesn't need to sabotage the tea parties, they're doing a bang-up job on their own
