HuffPo AstroTurf? Arianna Offers Busing From NYC to DC for Stewart-Colbert Rally (Video)
Newsbusters ^ | September 29, 2010 | Jeff Poor

If Arianna Huffington, an admitted “progressive,” announces she’s offering transportation to individuals that desire to participate in Comedy Central hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s “million moderate march,” can it really be described as “moderate?”

On the Sept. 28 broadcast of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” Huffington, editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and author of “Third World America: How Our Politicians Are Abandoning the Middle Class and Betraying the American Dream,” promoted the rally. She told host Jon Stewart’s audience she was offering busing from her SoHo offices in Manhattan to those wanting to attending the so-called “Rally to Restore Sanity” and “March to Keep Fear Alive” in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 30.

“We are getting a Huff Post bus. If there is anybody unsure how to get there, talk to me,” Huffington said. “[J]ust come to the Huffington Post, 560 Broadway in SoHo. The bus will be there. We’ll take you with us.”

Progressives are the poster children of phony names for events and groups. So if they call it a moderate march...well, you can lay money that it's not moderate, it's leftist. That leftist organizations are paying to bus leftists in to a march is proof the march isn't moderate, but leftist. But no one was fooled in the first place.

Two rallies on the same day. Is the Unfunny Comedy rally a cover for the communist thug rally?

For the bus ride she should supply the passengers with the shortest book ever published:

"Great American Moderates"

To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I’m so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Your house is only another mile (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, the Magic Bus)
You’ll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I don’t want to cause no fuss (Too much, the Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Nooooooooo!

Better yet, everyone call to reserve a spot on the bus and not show up, she will have to increase the numbers of buses. Buses are not free, you have to rent them and you have to pay even if not used.

Moderates, by their nature, do not come out and demonstrate. Hey, they're moderates after all.

I heard Ed Schultz on his radio show pleading with Union Leaders to organize buses, and get their people to Washington. This was a day after he told a conservative caller that he wasn’t putting pressure on Unions.

Glenn Beck was spot on the other day when he encouraged everyone to go to the march. Then he showed where you can get more information.

The CPUSA Web site.

Classic.

Stephen Colbert and Jon Leibowitz don’t have a 10th of the talent or sarcasm of their fellow Comedy Channel mates,Trey Parker and Matt Stone of SouthPark.

One rally in reality - the Commies plus their useful idiots.

I know that, just that she has the same accent. Sadly, Ms. Gabor recently passed away.
