I was so excited when I got back from seeing Palin and wrote this that I forgot to include some background info. This was the Saturday 4/16/11 Koch Brothers Americans For Prosperity Tax Day Tea Party at the State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. Progressives outnumbered baggers by an incredible margin. I've heard 20 to 1 as the most common guess so far.

Here's a link to a video of Palin being drowned out:

The 20:1 progressives:tea party ratio was a guess from people at the rally and was not an official estimate by any authority. Just to be clear on that.

More on the crowd-

To find the fenced-off tea party crowd you have to use this smaller zoomed in picture that's been circulating on Twitter:

Here's a zoomed out aerial version from a local tv station, where the vast majority of everyone visible is a counter protester:
