CNN admits in a left handed way, Tea Parties have GRASS ROOTS.

According to CNN, the Tea Party movement has anger, but no "dominant leaders."

Isn't that what a movement is? Isn't that the very definition of "grass roots," provided of course, you delete the word "anger?"

CNN - "Deborah Johns is the angry conscience of the tea party movement.

'Question everything your government is doing,' she tells a crowd of about 100 from the bus's stage in the parking lot of the Winners casino in Winnemucca, Nevada."

More quotes:

"The men and women in our military didn't fight and die for this country for a communist in the White House," she says, and the crowd erupts in a chant of "U-S-A, U-S-A!"

Typical "Dark Mood" stuff:

"The crowd is its own sideshow. Tea partyers are a creative lot, and many in the crowd express themselves by way of their clothing and signs.

'Obamacare Condense Cream of Crap soup' reads a sign in Sparks, Nevada. In Dallas, Texas, a darker mood prevails. A homemade sign with 'Obama Lies' features a bold, black swastika."

Hey, CNN! Could you turn out the lights on your way out? By the way, on occasion, one should be angry. I wouldn't define what you now admit to be truly a grass roots movement, by anger.

Human Carpet Teaparty in Washington DC. Who is this group? AMERICANS

"The White House on Friday claimed it was unaware of the planned rally.

'I don't know who the group is,' White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters with a shrug.

But a House leadership aide has warned fellow Democrats that up to 2 million demonstrators could turn out." (FoxNews)

Sleeping Giant, Silent Majority, whatever you want to call them, they're not happy. Forget your million man march. Look at what's going down. Instapundit. I don't think Barack or his spokesman "get's it." Do you?

" 'It looks like Saturday's event is going to be a huge gathering, estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to 2 million people,' Doug Thornell, an aide to Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., wrote in a memo obtained by FOXNews.com.

But conservatives believe the memo is ploy to inflate expectations for the turnout anticipating that it will fall short.

'It's an old political tactic to get out in front and make wild projections and when they're not met, claim their opponents don't have the juice,' said Pete Sepp, a spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union, one of the organizers of the rally."

White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs claims NOT to know "who the group is." Robert. They're AMERICANS.

Don Surber's "Too funny" take on it is Butch and Sundance:

From the movie “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”:

Butch Cassidy: How many are following us?
Sundance Kid: All of ‘em.
Butch Cassidy: All of ‘em. What’s the matter with those guys?

Is it me, or is the coverage from NBC a bit snarky?

"The forecast for Saturday's first-ever Taxpayer March on D.C. is cloudy, wet and a bit cold.

The organizers behind the march seem to think otherwise. 'The day is expected to the HOT (82), HUMID (66%) and BRIGHT (UV index 7),' according to the 09.12.09 March on Washington web site, in its aptly-titled article, 'How to be prepared for Saturday.'

Actually, that looks more like Sunday's forecast, but hey, who are we to protest?

Encouraged by conservative commentators such as Fox's Glenn Beck and organized virtually on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites, FreedomWorks -- the main organization behind the event -- predicts the march will constitute 'the largest gathering of fiscal conservatives ever,' according to USA Today."

CNN says "Tea Party Movement has anger, no dominant leaders. Well, sort of CNN. Witless ones. That's why they call it a MOVEMENT.
