Thanks to Arizona, there may be some real protests this weekend, not the tightly-shot over inflated tea party variety.<\/p>\n

Over the last year or so we’ve been treated\/subjected<\/em> to Tea Party rally coverage. Those ‘tight-camera shots’ have allowed their organizers to claim hundreds of thousands were in attendance, nay MILLIONS!<\/a> when reality showed a few thousand. <\/p>\n

But that doesn’t stop the media from treating them like a huge social movement.<\/p>\n

Coverage bias was most pronounced during the Health Care Reform votes when several hundred teabaggers<\/a> on the Capitol grounds got a great deal of coverage, while a pro-immigration reform march at the same time<\/a> drew a much bigger crowd, well into the tens of thousands, received virtually none.<\/p>\n

So let the teabags steep in their inflated numbers, thanks to Arizona, on very short notice, now you’ll see what a real political protest looks like<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Protest organizers said on Wednesday outrage over the Arizona law — which seeks to drive illegal immigrants out of the state bordering Mexico — has galvanized Latinos and would translate into a higher turnout for May Day rallies in more than 70 U.S. cities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some of these rallies, like Los Angeles alone in 2006<\/a> may (just may, remember short notice) draw half-a-million. Suck.on.that. Arizona.<\/p>\n

Not that you’ll see much coverage. After all, some mid-50ish white woman from Knoxville is screaming and carrying a sign telling the federal government to stay out of her “soshal securitee” and demanding those socialists let her drink liquor when she’s carrying her handgun<\/a>. And that’s damn-fine television.<\/p>\n
