Tens & Hundreds of Ones Rally for Public Option in D.C. (Yes, I said ones.)
DailyKos | 09/14/2009 | BuckeyeTexan

Tens and hundreds of dedicated liberal activists rallied in Washington D.C. on Sunday, 9/13 in support of the Democrats' Public Option for healthcare reform. The D.C. police and onsite conservative observers estimate the crowd size at a stunning 800 to 1000 people.

The huge turnout was due to the superior organizing skills of community organizations all across the United States. Dedicated individuals, sponsored by liberal organizations and enviromental lobbyists, were bussed in overnight to demand that Congress pass a public option as part of any meaningful healthcare bill in the House and Senate.

Yeah, they’ll probably use base 2 to report the crowd size. 8(base 10) = 1000(base 2)

Media claims 5 million showed up?

Funny, b/c the population of the D.C. metro area is just over 5 million...so based on the political demographics, one could say that 4.5 million pro-reformers were in the D.C. area yesterday.

It certainly was racist. They were very critical of Opossum not pushing the “public option”.

Critical of POTUS, protesting in the streets, signs, white people always = racism.

I’ve seen more people at a kids’ soccer game. Bet they got full police protection in D.C. though.

From Wiki

It’s not a “google”
It’s a googol, which is defined as 1 x 10100. In other words, it’s one followed by 100 zeros.

LOL, it’s sort of the moral equivalent of wearing a ‘kick me’ sign. They could have just as well carried signs reading ‘Please double my taxes!!’ or ‘We need more poverty NOW!’. It’s always amazing how little support such cosmically STUPID ideas really have.

We got out marched by the teabaggers.

That's because, despite what your Dear Leader and his buddy Axlerod lie and say, your side doesn't have the passion or the support of the American people. It's difficult to support what doesn't exist (remember, there's no plan yet), or to support lies (remember, the plan (that doesn't exist) doesn't say that), or to get excited about it when you see how it's going to negatively affect you personally (I could really lose my health insurance...or I'll have to pay for insurance...I thought it was going to be free...hey, I didn't vote for that...I voted for the free health care for everyone, me first)

I’m wondering when politicians and the libtard public are going to realize that the people they’ve demonized as racists and shills are REGISTERED VOTERS. When it comes to the voting booth, it won’t matter if the opposition to Obama was manufactured or grassroots-based. A vote against is a vote against any day of the week.
