Here’s an AFP report on “tea party” demonstrations: Anti-Obama ‘tea party’ protests mark US tax day.
NEW YORK (AFP) – Critics of President Barack Obama marked national tax day Wednesday with “tea party” protests that Republicans are calling the birth of a grassroots opposition, but Democrats dismiss as a fraud.
Initially small crowds gathered under blustery skies in Washington, New York and Boston to protest taxes, government bailouts, and Obama’s big-spending budget proposals.
Organizer Eric Odom said protests would take place across almost 800 cities in a “new day for the freedom movement.”
Who is Eric Odom, in addition to being the organizer and spokesman of the tea parties?
UPDATE at 4/15/09 11:15:46 am:
Here’s Eric Odom, with an article at wacko conspiracy website “The National Expositor,” arguing that Ron Paul’s Poll Results are Valid.
Take a look through some of the other stuff at the National Expositor site, if you want to know why I label them as “wackos.”

And why should we care what Chuckie the liberal thinks?
The Ron Paul poll results were throughly invalidated in the primaries.
I used to read LGF...... and then the cheese just slowly slid off of his cracker.
LGF = The new Daily Kos.
Over 1.1 million votes for Paul wasn’t too shabby.
Would you not agree that Paul supporters have been a significant force in today's Tea Parties?
So what's the problem?
I’m not a fan of Ron Paul but the guy at LGF has totally gone of the deep end and it tilting at windmills. During the Bush administration he ran a borderline hate site against muslims and now he’s done a total 180.
Would you not agree that Paul supporters have been a significant force in today’s Tea Parties?
Who cares if they have? Liberals who are sick of high tax bills can show up as well if they want. Moral and political purity tests are best left to the heavy breathers at LGF.
Why any conservative would want to ever read leftist Charles Johnson’s website is beyond me. I can honestly say I haven’t been to that site five times in the past two years.
Very true. I’m no fan of islamic fascists, but that guy went a bit far . He still has the hate, but now he directs it elsewhere (mainly at other republicans) . Leopard, spots, etc.
Very impressive. I'll bet the local Taco Bell was pleased too.
Zero electoral votes for L.Ron was very shabby.
I see no evidence of that, and you are the first to suggest it from what I have seen.
Did you guys spam another online poll and made yourself believe it again? Don't you ever learn?
He didn’t run in the general election, of course he didn’t get any electoral votes.
There are politicians trying to take credit all over the place, from this to Newt.. this is grassroots, it isn’t about DC riding in on the white horse declaring “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”...
Congressman Gohmert at our Tea Party said it well, he was a guest at the Citizen’s Tea Party!
