A million or more rock Washington
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | September 12, 2009 | Schilling and Alyssa Farah

Posted on 09/13/2009 4:23:05 AM PDT by Man50D

WASHINGTON – The capital was rocked today by a taxpayer march and rally that could be the biggest protest ever – potentially dwarfing the Million Man March and the Promise Keepers Rally.

Though crowd estimates vary from as low as 60,000 to 70,000 according to ABC News to a high of 2 million by London Daily Mail, photographs and videos of the march and rally demonstrate its enormity.

The taxpayers stormed Washington, D.C., today, taking their fight against excessive spending, bailouts, growth of big government and soaring deficits to the front door of the U.S. Capitol.

All week citizens have been heading to the Hill by the busloads for the showdown today. The Tea Party Patriots' "Tea Party Express" national bus tour has been hosting a series of tea party rallies all across the nation. A caravan of buses, speakers and entertainers arrived in Washington, D.C., just in time for the march. The taxpayers have paid their own way to the event.

The White House said Friday it was unaware of the rally. President Obama has traveled to Minneapolis, Minn., to promote his health-care plans at a rally there.

But so many taxpayers showed up on Pennsylvania Avenue that the crowd ran out of room and the march was forced to begin early.

WND was at the scene to get crowd reaction and take photos of the protest.

The White House said Friday it was unaware of the rally.

"The White House said Friday it was unaware of the rally"

OMG is that their actual response? Obambi didn't notice a few hundred thousand extra people wandering around and no one notice live coverage on TV???

This has got to be the STUPIDEST response ever.

That is beyond the standards for Baghdad Bob (or maybe that is Baghdad Robert Gibbs).

That's OK. Marine One had to take off from the South Lawn of the White House and head to Andrews AFB. He went right over the gathering crowd.

I bet his reactions as he peered out the window were hatred, fear, disdain, dread, and anger.

Obama and his wife were narcissists even before the election. Since then, and all the fawning news coverage, magazine covers, and sheer political pornographic worship, they are now so divorced from reality that they barely live on the same planet as do you and I.

For a narcissist to have someone disagree with them is not an annoyance.It is a crisis.

Their fragile psyches cannot tolerate the notion that people do not worship them.

Satan is pretty much the same way.

How about contempt? He's going to pass the health care bill over anyone's objections, he doesn't care about winning elections, it's all about killing off the country, and he knows that nobody is in a position to stop him. For all his rhetoric, he knows there was no mob there yesterday. He knew they would obey the rules. He knew they would go home. And he knew they would obey whatever laws are duly passed by his minions in Congress and signed by him.

Remember the fat kid in high school, who could never get a date, always said something inappropriate in the cafeteria line, who was always picked last for dodge ball, and who went power mad when he was assigned as an assistant hall monitor by the principal?

Me too.

That's him to the left, seated next to the high school bully who got his a$$ kicked by some kids after school, and went running with a bloody nose to his rich daddy, who threatened to sue the entire school (and the State) because someone touched "my precious little boy."

The White House isn’t aware of a lot of things.

It really hurt to miss this important protest for the very soul of the United States of America. It hurt even more to bury my 91 year old mother on the same day 2500 miles away. Apparently I won’t be forgetting the day anytime soon.

Someone should ask the White House if they are so unaware of what’s going on right outside, how can they be trusted to know what’s going on in international affairs.

We need side-by side photographs of previous marches, with ‘official’ crowd size estimates.

I remember some stupid feminist march that seemed to occupy one tiny corner, about 4 or 5 thousand people, and they said THAT was 50,000

The media and official bias shown here estimating the crowd size itself is so blatantly bad it is newsworthy

True. All true. They are going to attempt to alter the rules of Congress and voting to "Rahm" this bill through.

I am only hoping it will be a Pyrrich victory.

Don't give up yet though. Democrats in Congress are nervous. Some might not even show up for the vote. However, I now believe, as you do, that they will vote in "health care" as a budgetary item (requiring only a simple majority) and that it will happen by 30 Sep.

Bold faced lie. Barry of Nazereth came back and was at Andrews AFB not long after the rally ended. (something like 15 minutes). I saw footage of this on the Sniper News Network.

There’s no way he can say with a straight face that the WH “didn’t know.”

No frackin’ way.

Thankyou all. I think it was worse when my father passed away, because he was only 74 and I was present for his passing. This time my sisters were both present and still bore it better than I.

Anyone get a time stamped photo of Marine One taking off from the White House, with Obama on his way out of town, to his own little rally in Minnesota?

Juxtapose it to a time lapse Trafficland cam shot from 14th and E Street Northwest from the same time, with the White House “unaware of the rally” statement under the one image, and “He Lies” under the other.

That should put a fine point on the whole charade.

My sincere condolences for your loss. I lost my mother in law on 9/11. She was terminally ill and passed away 15 minutes after the first plane hit. My brother in law called to say “Mom died and turn on the TV”.

State run media headline:

President Obama was awakened this morning by a few noisy astro turf looking people, but he ordered his security guards to shoo them away so that he could sleep in as he usually does from his tiring vacations.

He didn't notice? Yeah right! He obviously felt threatened enough by the voice of the people that he had to stage yet another campaign rally in MN simultaneously.

Technically, that's not quite how Gibbs put it, AFAIK. From this link, a quote...

Tea Party Express Takes Washington By Storm

"I don't know who the group is," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters with a shrug.

Interesting way to put it, though, Gibbs.
