Not to rag on you or anything but back then a Colts game was the only game that us Pats fans thought we ever had a chance of winning.
How times have changed....
no ragging, we HAVE both won and lost our battles in that “war”.. :)!
Sheesh, that’s the rally? It looks like the soundcheck.
DUDE !!!!!!!!! Jerry’s dead !
Sssssh! You’ll blow his cover!
I love that guy, he’s classic!
Say No to No, LOL!
Reminded of one of my favorite quotes;
“To its committed members ( the democratic party) was still
the party of heart, humanity, and justice, but to those
removed a few paces it looked like Captain Hooks crew —
ambulance chasing lawyers, rapacious public policy grants
persons, civil rights gamesmen, ditzy brained movie stars,
fat assed civil servant desk squatters, recovering alcoholics,
recovering wife beaters, recovering child-buggers, and so forth
and so on, a grotesque line up of ill mannered, self pitying,
caterwauling freeloaders banging their tin cups on the pavement
demanding handouts”.

I think this shot is early morning.
LOLOL, because several MSM reports claimed that this rally had nothing to do with Beck’s, nosireebob, it was planned waaaaaaaaaaaaayy before Beck’s ever was (didn’t he start planning over a YEAR before 8/28?)—then all the DUmmies are bragging about their silver lining that it was ‘pretty good’ for something thrown together so quickly? BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
The “Bigger Than Beck” Union Astroturf Rally—Going down in history as the BIGGEST EPIC RALLY FAILURE E-V-E-R!
LOL. I was watching when my 9 y/o came in from her soccer game and sat down for lunch. She heard Don Madison bragging about ‘the aerial shot proves this rally is bigger than Beck’s!’ (she watched the entire Restoring Honor Rally with me and her dad), and she turns around and looks at me incredulously after seeing the sparse crowd, and says, “SERIOUSLY, Mom?? Are they SERIOUS??? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!”
This from a 9 year old! Who did the LSDers (liberals/leftists/statists/socialists/democrats/dummies) think they were trying to fool???
Just like a Sam Goldwin Technicolor 1890s period piece, in which the appropriately costumed actresses wore 1940s makeup, this guy represents a creative interpretation of 1969. Gotta hand it to him! Just hope his peace "NO" gladiator shield didn't double as a frisbee.
The DUers go to great lengths to prove this rally was better attended than 8/28 - using CBS' figure of 87,000, when we know it was around 800,000. LOL! (And most people, including Sarah Palin stayed for the whole program.) They go all out to compare the attendance figures of both rallies since attendance is one of the important benchmarks of their success.
One DUer tries to give an accurate accounting:
...So CBS says Beck got approx 87,000. From what I could tell, and comparing what I could see from the video of this crowd compared with Beck's crowd, I would have to say Beck's rally was considerably bigger. My guess is that this rally had around half the attendance of the Beck rally - so around 43,500. Round up and say 45K. 45K is not bad at all. Considering the months and months of promotion Beck's rally got and all the money poured in to get their people out compared with how little promotion our rally got, and I think the turnout wasn't bad....
And from another DUer:
Preliminary satellite estimates put the crowd size at 175,000 to 200,000 at about noon EST
We have yet to hear from the Martian rovers.
All of this is whetting the appetite for election night. I plan to carefully monitor DU as the results roll in. I predict THAT'S going to be one big night of wailing and tears, which will be extremely enjoyable for us. heh heh.
[In case of Rupture, this rally will be unattended.]
Too funny!
POST OF THE DAY!!!! Excellent!
First of all, I knew about half an hour in that this would be a flop. There were NO GIANT PUPPETS!
Second, after years of worrying and wringing my hands about how these demonstrations might switch public opinion, I have learned that they can NEVER produce an inspirational gathering. Their music is terrible and uninspiring, they have NO priorities so every loony cause gets equal time, they don’t know how to organize things, and they are slobs who never clean up after themselves.
Third, these are unpleasant and humorless people. If I were trapped in an elevator with a few of them, I would be rummaging through my purse looking for BP meds to overdose on.
I now hope that the October 30 Comedy Central rally goes on as scheduled, followed by a raging late tropical storm that keeps all of those people from getting home to vote.
I was planning on attending, but I ended up getting my appendix out instead.
Yeah. And he would have had his tonsils taken out too.
But the rally was over by then so he was safe.
[What in tarnation??]
That right there made me laugh out loud!
Ping!!
Probably something to do with actually expecting to be paid - lol!
