They were talking on AM radio (i forget what idiot i was listening to) about they had damn near 10,000 people. I talked to a couple Cleveland Cops i am friends with and they chuckled when i asked. One was sitting in a squad car watching the event because it was a typical rainy day in Cleveland.
He said mostly what he saw was racists complaining about a black president, people complaining about socialism and a handful of people complaining about unfair taxation. He also said there was no where near that many people, maybe 1500-2000. He said the organization was poor, the message was poor and when he got out of his cruiser people asked "What's going on over there?" and he replied with "I really have no idea".
He then complimented me as a liberal democrat, he said at least when liberals protest there is no doubt what they are protesting.
