Thousands Gather in DC in Support of Dems Agenda

[ATAK, Inc.]

Seems like a bulk of the attendees were the ones bussed in, and with all of those organizations behind the event, it's kinda telling of the American mood, reflected in the number of people who turned out for this.

WASHINGTON – Thousands of people flocked to the Lincoln Memorial for a rally Saturday organized by labor and civil rights groups, hoping to show support for the Democratic agenda in the face of expected GOP election gains next month.

More than 400 organizations, including faith, environmental and gay rights groups, sponsored the "One Nation Working Together" demonstration on the same end of the National Mall where a month ago tea party activists met to hear conservative commentator Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin...

There were people with union T-shirts and others participants who carried banners advocating expanding Medicare for all Americans. While the Beck rally stretched well down the National Mall, Saturday's event was shaping up to be far smaller, with sparse groups lingering around the reflecting pool and other monuments.

Wouldn't it be a shame if they acted up and the Police had to come in with teargas and billy clubs? :naughty:

[cciota]

I wonder how many will have attended according to the media. They said Beck's rally only had 85,000 and the national mall was packed from the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the WWII memorial.

What happened to the 2 million that the organizers of the event promised? :yeah:

I can't wait to hear the excuses. I know, it was Bush's fault!

[tank_monkey]

Actually the ONE NATION (libtard leaning group) had announced a rally for the date, well before Beck's rally was announced. So they had planned it long in advance. It was NOT supposed to be a 'beck counter-rally). Kinda weird that the media is touting it as a 'counter rally to Beck'. Also weird that people are being PAID TO GO! No one on the RIGHT is ever paid to go to a rally or protest. WHO THE FUCK is paying these people?

[sevlex]

Look at those people in the picture. There are an awful lot wearing the same t-shirts. That is all the unions could round up to bus in today.

Can you say Astroturf?

Can you say FAIL?

:laugh::whatever:

[mriddick]

Being true union guys they probably took the money and went to the bar instead :)

[ATAK, Inc.]

15 to 20k, maybe a little more.

Funny that's all they could recruit!

Fixed it.

[ATAK, Inc.]

LOL! Yeah, but isn't it funny how they can spend 10's of millions$ for elections.

[imanaknut]

The only one who made out on that rally is the guy who got the contract for the tee-shirts. :rotflmbao:

Bad enough that group of organization could not turn out the number. Did you check out the slide show of 88 pictures? Most of the photos were from the Restoring Honor Rally. Could not even get their own pictures.

Remember how trashed D.C was after Obama's inauguration? Look at the people who support this ass clown and voted him in office. It's pretty self explanatory.

Okay, lets start with the spin control: 'People were discouraged from attending the rally, it rained really hard the day before...'

Most media will never report that picture.

[matshock]

That picture was probably taken by the opposition.

I watched a few minutes on CSPAN yesterday- the president of the UAW- Bob King is really, really creepy. Women on the stage were literally tearing up while being made to be props for him.

Other than that, the same tired old bunch of traitors, war protesters and pervs- that's why no one showed up because the left has cashed in its chips and doesn't even have bus fare for the trip home.

Let's put an end to the reign of this sad lot ASAP.
