Cars were parked on the side of the highway for miles before the event location. After the event, traffic to Las Vegas was so backed up that it took us over an hour and a half to go five miles.
I dont know the total number of people that were in attendance. I do know that the valley floor was packed full of people. The surrounding hilIs were packed full of people. The ridges above the hills were lined with people, and vehicles. People had camped out in RVs, trailers, motor homes, tents and cars. It would have taken a pretty big football stadium to hold all of those folks. The fact that this was a dusty bowl in the middle of nowhere made it all seem pretty surreal. I may have missed Woodstock but I can say that I was at Searchlight.
It wasnt till the MSM news reports started to come in that the sinking feeling of Déjà vu hit me . CNN and Veronica Whitfield were among the first to report:
Hundreds of people, at least dozens of people we havent gotten a count of how many people turned out there
...
When does journalistic irresponsibility cross the line to bias? How heavy does bias have to become until it turns into propaganda?
The journalistic Rubicon hasnt just been crossed, it has been erased.
Was there anger and the potential for violence in Searchlight, NV?
You betcha, smack dab in the core of Harry Reids supporters.
Will you read about it in the Times? Heck no. What if Jerry Ragle hadnt been an experienced, professional driver? What if that bus would have killed 15 or 20 people?
Would CNN and their journalistic brethren have gotten the numbers right then?

Do we have to have half a million people surrounding the NYT building?
Do the eggs need to hit congressmen or should reporters be targeted by assault ova?
And when will the majority of the voting public wake up to the fact that they have been manipulated?
I hate to be negative (no, really!), but the MSM will never, as in not ever shine the light on these thugs and their tactics.
Never.
It’s the Ministry of Truth; it’s not that they’re missing the story, it’s that they’re part of the story.
The goons know this, and count on it. It’s part of the strategy, and it works most of the time. That’s changing, because we have alternative channels now, like FR, and Breitbart’s site, and Rush, and Glen Beck. The truth is sinking in, and it’s going to be intersting to see if it gets out quickly enough to save the Republic.
