By James B. Kelleher

MADISON, Wis., March 12 (Reuters) - Up to 100,000 people protested at the Wisconsin state Capitol on Saturday against a new law curbing the union rights of public workers that is seen as one of the biggest challenges in decades facing U.S. organized labor.

Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain estimated the crowd at 85,000 to 100,000 people, which would top the size of protests in Madison during the Vietnam War.

5. If there were 100,000 tea baggers there...

... both CNN and Fixed Noise would be all over it. They would be marveling that at the three week mark it is still going on.
They would devotes hours to it.
But there isn't, so they aren't.
