Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.
Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.
Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC
I thought that at first, too - Nobama is a chicken and left town; however, then my thoughts changed/expanded a bit - - I wondered how long he has had his speech planned and, if it was decided that he should do a speech when they found out when the Rally would be there and/or did some hurry up planning after his abysmal performance Tues night. Did he (or his puppet masters) decide that he should leave town and do the speech so that at least some of the channels would not show the Rally, but show his speech instead (when I flipped channels it looked like at least MSNBC and CNN were doing just that - CSPAN was going to have it on after the Rally). And, of course the DBM newspapers will give him more coverage, so he diverts attention and publicity away from the Rally and back to the One. The less people that see the Rally may believe the DBM’s lies that there was just a small crowd there.
Just saw post rally report (molly) on Fox News. Where’s all the trash? The place looked cleaner than it did yesterday.
FoxNews just showed a clip of porta potties with the names of big spending democrat congresspeople’s names on them being delivered today on flatbed trucks...ROTFLOL!! I saw a ‘Barney Frank’, a ‘Nancy Pelosi’ and a few others.
Can’t wait to see the pics of those posted. it was hysterical!
I guess you can see who focuses on race and it’s not us!
These lying leftist can talk the talk but they sure as hell don’t walk the walk.
Liberals are the biggest hypocrites on the face of the earth. They FOCUS on race every single day of their lives. They PRETEND to care about them but I guarantee you if they don’t agree with their views they are ‘uncle Toms’, ‘traders’, ‘Clarence Thomas’, etc.!
Yay for CSPAN!
LOL! He will want dinner...too.
with the Obama O symbol in GOVERNMENT.
I am gathering signatures for Missouri Soverignty resolution. Some dumbass sat there and said “well I have to ‘think’ about it. We are GOING TO REASSERT our 10th Amendment RIGHTS as a state and have 2 FANTASTIC Congressmen (1 Rep, 1 Senator) that are going to carry the battle to Missouri’s session (beginning in January).
Other than that.......I’m sitting here trying to find some live footage of DC. And yes.........trying to clean house (so shoot me..........I’m getting ready to sell at a bargain price so I can join the fight financially)
Estimates are all over the place. Someone reported that the US Park Service estimated 1.2 million. Whatever the number, this march is outstanding. I'm just sorry I couldn't be there. Instead I will donate some money to Rep. Joe Wilson.
Deneen Borelli was a great (black) speaker today! She was one of the most memorable, IMO.
Didn’t see any trash. What a contrast.
yes... they covered all the speakers without interuption and without all the blahblahblah and constantly showed different groups of people and always different signs not just the same shots over and over and over again...
worth watching
Yep, I think I met you and a friend there! I had FreeRepublic.com on my sign. Someone said today’s march would be on CSpan on Monday at 8:00 pm.
Hey, you can have the last word on happy. I figure they are smiling in the face of those who doubted the event could ever be pulled off. Seems the smelly left draws big crowds, have angry faces and smash property.
The Port-a-potties had the names on them before they were taken off of the flat bed trucks?
Wow ... thank you. The masses of people!
It’s a wonder y’all didn’t overload the
transit system completely.
It’s SO glorious and uplifint to see so many
committed Americans who care for their country.
God bless you all.
That sounds like a good plan!
I saw some of the pictures, and there was a sea of people on the mall.
I’ll bet these figures are truer than the Million Man March figures were!
Quarintine D.C. It’s infected with the Pork Flu!
Pingeroo...
