Nobody expects fair coverage from the media when it comes to peaceful protests against Obama. But this just seems a bit coordinated.
About 200 people, counting among their ranks Republican Senator Mike Lee, Senator Ted Cruz and former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, converged on D.C.’s World War II memorial Sunday morning. Slightly overselling themselves as the ”Million Vet March on the Memorials,” they cut through barriers to protest the site’s closing during the shutdown.“This is the people’s memorial,” Cruz said in a speech. “Let me ask a simple question. Why is the federal government spending money to erect barricades to keep veterans out of this memorial?”
Clearly they didn’t have a million people, but it was way more than 200. You ever notice the leftist media doesn’t count heads at pro-Democrat rallies? Funny, that. But stop the presses, someone popped up with a Confederate flag. Oh my! Of course no media inquired as to who this person was. We suspect this was all staged, and lo and behold, the DCCC fundraiser email showed up by 8 pm Sunday night. Imagine that:
Did you see this?
At today’s rally led by Senator Ted Cruz, Tea Party activists marched to the White House with Confederate flags. It’s simply appalling.Sign our petition immediately demanding Ted Cruz and Tea Party Congressmen denounce these heinous acts >>
This wasn’t just an isolated incident.
One speaker from a Tea Party outside group told the crowd to “demand that this president leave town [...] put the Quran down, to get up off his knees, and to figuratively come out with his hands up.”
Ted Cruz and his Tea Party House Republican followers need to denounce this behavior immediately. Make them.

Thanks,
DCCC Rapid Response
Those links take you to DCCC fundraising pages. Stunner.
Update: They’re back for more this morning. Now it’s Confederate flags, plural. And Ted Cruz must denounce these, um, Tea Partiers?
At a rally led by Senator Ted Cruz, Tea Party activists marched to the White House with Confederate flags. It’s simply appalling.We’re trying to reach 100,000 strong demanding Ted Cruz and his Tea Party House Republican followers denounce this radical behavior immediately.
Forward this email to three friends right now and ask them to demand Ted Cruz and denounce disgusting Tea Party attacks on President Obama.
We’ve seen one photo of the Confederate flag. By the end of the days it’ll be hundreds of them.
Thanks for the thread. Some of "us" have trouble sorting things out.
"Will Bozo and Shrillary Denounce themselves for Benghazi? Eric the Holder for Fast n Furious?...No, fraid not - only the GOP has be “made” to do this.
Yep. I love how Barack Obama sat in a church listening to anti-Semitic hate speech for twenty years... but now everybody's supposed in a tizzy over this new faux outrage.
And yet nobody ever notices that one of the major organizers of all left-wing protest's is either the national socialist party or the international socialist party.
They always fly their banners.
I’ll take the Stars n’ Bars any day over what the American flag is becoming under soetoro.
They were ALL Democrats!
Soon as I saw the flag prominently featured on the Atlanta newspaper’s website, I figured the White House had sent the guy out there with it.
I haven’t seen the flag in any of the other photographs of the day’s events. It may be worth looking over as many photos as possible, for all we know it could be a photoshop job.
They were stupid to let that imbecile Larry Klayman speak at all. He came up with the idiotic “put down the Koran” line. How far he has fallen since founding (and then being booted from) Judicial Watch.

NEA,the FED Eucation Dept., and Common Core are designed to dumb down all education.
Think of it as : " Leveling the field "

Programming for tommorow !
Those who forget history , are destined to repeat it !!
Saw the confederate flag in a few of the live feeds yesterday. I am surprised that the carrier wasn’t requested by others to furl it. It sent the expected muddled message as to the tone and meaning of the rally. That was probably the intention as others have pointed out possibly a non-vet participant sent to get the photo op. MSM didn’t cover the rally till well after it was over, but their coverage today shows that flag in every single televised spot. Think it was a dem plant ? I do.
None of the media is ‘red-state’. It doesn’t matter where they are located. But it does explain why they’re called “pressholes”.
