What if they held a "massive," "humongous" and "mammoth" rally and nobody came?

So few bothered to show up for the "One Nation" gathering Saturday that the AP claimed the "DC rally shows support for struggling Democrats."

For five weeks, the nuts who organized the nearly nonexistent 'event' billed their little get-together as a counterweight to the Glenn Beck rally, which actually had attendees.

The day before the failed "rally," the always neutral and detached Washington Post ran an article headlined, "One Nation rally energizing liberals." The AP ran a story entitled, "Labor, civil rights groups seek to energize base." 'Expert' political 'observers' predicted that the "enthusiasm gap" would close once America sees and hears Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton ranting like maniacs on a stage.

But the "huge" crowd that was supposed to attend Saturday's "rally" was such a no-show, the media noticed it. Even the AP had to admit that "Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally." The New York Times similarly acknowledged sadly that "significant areas of the National Mall that had been filled during Mr. Beck's rally were empty." (Rick Sanchez blamed it on the Jews' rally-suppression operation.)

Organizers counter that the Mall was filled to capacity, but that's only if you count Ed Schultz's potbelly.

Liberals left the Mall area filled with empty soda cans, coffee cups, plastic water bottles, posters, food trays, Twinkie wrappers, used condoms and crack pipes. These sanitation-oriented marchers wanted to show how much they revere the environment.

Now that their "massive" "rally" bombed, the Beck-ophobes claim they were not responding to Glenn Beck at all. It was just a coincidence that they held their "rally" near the Lincoln Memorial to not respond to Beck.

Libbies also insist their failed "rally" was a chance to unify America, which had to be why the unifying emcee Ed Schultz warned that "we must fight the forces of evil, the conservatives in this country across the board . . . The conservative voices of America, they are holding you down! They don't believe in your freedom!"

Building on these inspiring and motivational remarks, Schultz then added: "They hate freedom! They reject tolerance! They despise all dissent. They have objectives" -- oh, wait, that was President Bush describing al-Qaeda, a description the New York Times hysterically rejected as too "simpleton."

With the same mindset, the media accused Glenn Beck of trying to discredit the communist nutjobs who organized the "rally" by presenting them as communist nutjobs.

The bottom line is that the unions burned through millions of buckeroos for a low-turnout self-parody to protest the bastard conservative evil-doers for blocking the angelic Democrats who own the House, Senate and White House from enacting their lunatic agenda. That's a chunk of money that won't be available for the usual November vote-fraud ops and other honorable mischief. The "rally" also further nationalizes the elections, and if you're the ruling party presiding over a lousy economy after "Recovery Summer," that's not the first thing you'd want to do. But Democrats have never been accused of having any brains.

Anyway, that's...

It’s time for Democrats to attack?
That’s all they know how to do.

[BobP]

What have the Dems done in the past two years that warrants a reward at the polls?

We're tired of footing the bill for anti-American agendas. We don't want our wealth stolen and re-distributed.

Governments do not generate wealth, free-market enterprises do. The policies of Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes only work in academic debates, not real life.

Since Obama took office, 7,000,000 people have lost their jobs. You are a fool, following this inept liar who has lied about everything he has promised, from 'no lobbyists,' to 'most transparent,' to 'won't lose your current health care coverage.' This guy is a narcissist, who in truth, feels nothing for anyone. He is just about 'words' and the drones will willingly follow him over a cliff.

Kick the bums out, repeal Obama's policies, cut taxes, cut the red tape, cut the budget and close the border.

The dems know one thing: attacking (personal attacks as opposed to military war winning strategy).

They wrote the book on it.

They are not a positive political party; they are divisive and destructive. That is all they know how to do. That is how they govern using a kind of scorched earth policy.

What was once a great political party is now nothing more than a communist front organization.

"It’s Time for Democrats to Attack", Pelosi Says

[bert]

The penalty for the big lie should be big death. The pols need a warning.....never again

[sickoflibs]

RE :” Nor, with her speakership on the line, does she object to Democrats in conservative districts appealing to their constituents by criticizing her. “I say go for it,” Ms. Pelosi said. She would counsel those vulnerable Democrats, “Just win your election.”

That was at the very bottom of the article at the link. Pelosi doesn't care if her house democrats run against her, as long as it works and they win the election and she gets the Speaker-ship back from it.

Moral: Don't trust house Democrats claiming to be against Pelosi, as Pelosi controls what gets voted on. A big enough loss and Pelosi wont even be minority leader.

Seriously, I’d like to know exactly what leftists mean when they say “freedom”. It certainly doesn’t mean “self-governance” like any of the founders would have meant.

I’ve always thought that their definition of “freedom” would boil down to “freedom from responsibility”.

[OrioleFan]

I’ve always heard that DemocRATs eat their own. But Pelosi? EEEEEEEUUUUUUU!

[highlander_UW]

For democrats there are only 2 times that are appropriate for attacking...if you look at a watch and the hands are moving, and when they aren’t moving...those 2 times.
