April 15th, 2009 Tea Party highlights – estimated 250,000 nation wide attended. – Nancy Pelosi whines the GOP grass-roots effort as “AstroTurf.” Other democrats call tea parties goers neo-Nazis, militias, secessionists and racists!

Michelle Malkin among others have some stats and highlights and pictures from yesterday’s Tea Parties, in which there was over  800 tea parties across the country, with a total turnout estimated to be at around 250,000 people.

Now onto the disgrace that is the left, aka left-wing exteremists. The Weekly Standard has the info on Nancy Pelosi’s “astroturf” crack, and some other house democratics apparently thinking these events were driven by corporate lobbyists and attended by neo-Nazis…

But in an interview on Fox TV in San Francisco, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) chalked up the GOP grass-roots effort as “AstroTurf.”

“This initiative is funded by the high end; we call it AstroTurf, it’s not really a grass-roots movement. It’s AstroTurf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class,” Pelosi said.

Other House Democratic leaders took a different tack: One senior aide has been circulating a document to the media that debunks the effort as one driven by corporate lobbyists and attended by neo-Nazis…

In addition, the tea parties are “not really all about average citizens,” the document continues, saying neo-Nazis, militias, secessionists and racists are attending them. The tea parties are also not peaceful, since reporters in Cincinnati had to seek “police protection” during one of the events, it states.

Michelle Malkin’s syndicated column discusses what needs to take away from this past week.
