Go Team! Rally in DC Attracts Thousands!

Did I say "thousands?"

I must've taken counting lessons from CNN:



For up-to-the-minute coverage of this historic event, please read: Michelle Malkin, The Jawa Report, Ace of Spades, Six Meat Buffet, Gateway Pundit, Pirate's Cove (heh), Hot Air, BVBL, Atlas Shrugs, and a host of others (once I get caught up on my feeds).

Fox has it live online. No idea why they don't think it's worth covering on TV yet.

I am literally in awe at this.

*I wish we had been financially able to participate in this historical trek across America. This is what it is all about! Since we were not able to paysically be a part of this, we are praying that the people in Washington will listen to the movement. I am so disappointed with the mainstream media, who chose to bury their heads in the sand and not report on one of the greatest movements in America. The NBC peacock should officially be changed to an OSTRICH! God bless you, Michelle Malkin, for standing up and helping bring the truth to America!

*Yeah, while the businesses that are currently running can barely stay afloat are going to be sunk by Dear Leader's health care plan there will be "new business" to take their place, right?

Only if the government approves of them, I suppose. Free handouts for all democrat-supporting companies!!! Woo hoo.

Ivan, enjoy your cradle to grave nanny state. Hopefully you'll get a government funded casket sooner than later so you can stop being such a burden to all those around you.

P.S. Your parents told me that they want you out of their basement as soon as possible.

The reason the PRESIDENT is spending so much money is because of the recession the republican president and republican congress put us in by raping and robbing this country. to much indignation, too much marching, way to late.

*Ivan,

When we come out of the recession, it won't be because President Obama gave billions to his cronies, government programs and unions.

This has been the most disastrous spending spree this country has ever seen and I hope we are able to come out of it.

BTW, when Republicans regain control of congress, we will keep them accountable too. Enough is enough.

*The term "Progressive" just means that bad things happen faster! Health care does not need reforming. But how we pay for it could use some help. But not the kind that the collectivists want. We can start with tort reform. Loser pays and maybe caps on awards where damage is limited and not permanent. But progressives, being the parasites they are, want the opportunity for the big cash payout from a malpractice suit with no risk, for an alledged wrong done to them while they were getting their unpaid medical care in the emergency room for the flu. We could have wage garnishments including against welfare checks of people who fail to have insurance when they need care, instead of the dishonest practice of shifting costs for these people by raising prices for the insured. Anyone who sought medical attention couldn't pay would be required by law to carry health insurance from then on. Part of the problem is illegals in this country. Throw them out. They are the responsibility of their governments, not ours. End parasitism. Parasites aren't productive enough to afford insurance. They represent a large drain on the economy, and taxes never collected. Parasites should be denied the right to vote. Anyone on the welfare rolls should be stricken from the voter rolls. I define a parasite as anyone who is of working age that can work, but refuses to do so, or intentionally does work of such poor quality that employers reject them, and lives off the government teat. They have not earned the right to vote and choose our leaders. They make bad choices. The welfare state is not good for America or the people on it, or the people enslaved to pay for it.

Just listen to the words of your leaders, hear and read the words they are using to "sell" this attack on freedom of choice. Their latest messages are filled with the words of the conservative movement. They had to change their tactics, their vergiage, when their verbiage didn't sell, except to those of like-mind. You're thinking power is weak.

*John:

First off, the word is 'you're' not 'your', as in 'you are as ignorant.' Amazing that I should have to point that out to someone who was educated in fine, government-run educational institutions. Oh, wait. Not so amazing. Yes, some aspects of the Healthcare system need reform. But that does NOT mean you throw it out and substitute it with a 'one-size-doesn't-fit-anyone' system that results in poor care, death and a bankrupt nation! Get real, John. There is NO money left for this hare-brained scheme! The money we are printing now to make sure we can cover our debts is the money our GRANDCHILDREN will earn in their working lives. CHINA is lecturing us on fiscal irresponsibility! CHINA!!!

*The photo shown here is not from last weekend. It's a 1997 photo of the Promise Keepers march in Washington. They have admitted this photo is of their march, and the one last weekend didn't even approach having that many people in it. There is a building missing in this photo, the native American museum, which was built in 2004, which was a big tip-off.

*Nice try, Shelly, but this photo is real.

The fake photo you're referring to, which was erroneously attributed to this past weekend's rally by other bloggers (i.e., NOT me, as the weather was an obvious mismatch), is over here.

Compare and contrast, please. And then come back and share your hopefully corrected thoughts. :-)

*Notice again that the number "2 million," "2,000,000," or any variation thereof does not appear on this website.

Which means that our angry troll above is clearly confused about where he is.

For what it's worth, based on the live camera shots I saw, the crowd was somewhere between 200,000 and 400,000 people -- It goes back roughly to the end of the second red dot from the left in the "Public Access" area on the USA Today map. Not two million people, but still a respectable number -- and clearly more than 70,000, you retard.

But hey, why bother with little things like facts when we can just pop up on random blogs and poo all over the place, right Trolly McTroll?

Sorry Bry Guy, I am not the one who made the claim of 2 million, since you lined to Malkin's site, I figured, what the heck, this guy has no credibility to and must be of the party of no.

*Nice try Bri Guy - when you lose the argument, change the subject.

OK, so YOUR blog doesn't say 2million. But 200,000 to 400,000 is not even close and may as well be as poor judgment as the RushMouths of the world, btw, Limbaugh, your fearless leader who is laughing all the way to the bank at your expense said 2million on air yesterday.

Here is the deal, Bri Guy, the problem with right wing extremists like you is you can never admit when you screwed up. Read something other than your cool aid blogs and get the facts, honey baby.

And before you change the topic, acknowledge you screwed up (Malkin did, and I have a shred of respect for her now), and then I am glad to give you a political ass whipping on whatever politically charged emotionally irrational none sense you would like to bring up.

Let me help you with the words, "I am sorry, we did not tell the truth about the number of attendees."

It's real simple, Bri Guy.

(btw, when you have to resort to name calling, you lose. Also, I have purposely mispelled a word here so please refrain from the right's play book of... you mispelled a word, na na boo boo)

And seeing how I never, ever said anything close to 2 million, I have absolutely nothing to apologize for.

But hey, it's not like morons like you are known for being able to grasp simple concepts like "the truth" or anything.

Hope you have a pleasant day in Trollville.

*Bri Guy says: "But hey, it's not like morons like you are known for being able to grasp simple concepts like "the truth" or anything."

And you base your truth on what? I base my truth on a concept called consensus and credibility of source of information, as a blogger extraordinaire, you should have respect for the Associated Press, right? And please, do not say, "the liberal drive by elite media," because it make you all sound like sour grapes just because they do research and check their sources which often contradict the rights agenda, that's just too bad, it doesn't make them liberal, it makes you out of touch with reality, so thanks in advance for not going there.

Please point me to the ad hominem attacks you speak of. I see you are not interested in debating ACORN since you fail to fulfill as simple request. Since you are unable to apologize, why don't we cut it back to "Given what the AP, DC Fire and Police and all other facts, there is a possibility that I may be wrong." And I am happy to continue.

I assume this is your blog, as the Mayor of Trollville, let me make a suggestion when dealing with trolls, it is rude to call those who come to your place names like moron and treat even trolls with a level of respect worthy of your inability to make a decent argument supporting your position.

I think you should also have a higher level of respect and not call your blog Trollville... it's too self deprecating for a right wing nut radical extremist, like you and that's not name calling, friend-o

Sorry, I'm done with you. You obviously have nothing to add to this discussion.

If you've got a problem with Michelle Malkin (since you seem to have come here from there), then go and register at her blog to comment. If you can figure that out, that is.

Besides the fact that I and everybody I know, are paying LESS taxes now since our taxes were LOWERED!
Besides the fact that 90% of these idiots got the SAME tax break themselves...WTF?
No the real question I ask these assclowns is,
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?!
Were you asleep for 8 years! You must have been because you obviously Missed the REAL Hitler handbook scare the stupid and silence the dissidents, while robbing the country blind treasonous contard machine in action.
The reason that 99 Million Americans didn't give a crap about this event, is because nothing you idiots say now means a shit thing. YOu bent over and took everything the traitorous pieces of shit in Washington handed you for 8 freakin years and never said a
Word. In fact most of these same idiots did nothing but praise the drunken awol cheerleader and his confederates as they shredded the Constitution and pissed on America and laughed all the way to the bank.
They showed up to this teabagger show after listening to that crying sissy Glenda Bek whining about the "bailout" when the only "bailout" that has occurred is the one that HE HIMSELF CHAMPIONED AND EVEN ASKED FOR MORE!!!
How freakin STUPID are these assclowns.

Anyway, right on. You hit it right on the button. Glad to see that America is still paying attention and realizes that these people are the most UN American garbage ever to embarass themselves by opening their mouths.
