The liberal daily did a fair job of reporting the local conservative-libertarian rally against anticipated higher federal taxes, the pork-barrel "stimulus," and other "change," which tied up downtown rush hour traffic, drawing people (according to the selected quotes) who had never marched before.
There were none of the overhead crowd photos reported in the conservative blogosphere, however–including the estimated more than ten thousand marchers in San Antonio and St. Louis–which readily show crowd size. Instead, there was an enigmatic quote from the state police that they wouldn’t estimate the size of the Austin crowd "for safety reasons." Huh? Interesting as it all is, I’m still not convinced that it will amount to much in the long run.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
yep, that’s what I concluded yesterday, returning home after our own TP.
Too many chants USA-USA (that mean nothing), no clear agenda, let alone one guy next to me blaming “Jew-Marxists” (verbally), and the other – “greedy bankers” (written on his placard). Don’t know if they were plants; could be – the rest of the crowd was quite civil, sober and respectable.
That’s interesting. The overhead shots of the New York crowd made it look sizable. I have read that these things are very ad hoc, without much, if any, organization. Looks like the only way it will grow is if it develops some leadership everyone is comfortable with, which might be hard to achieve.
