Tens of thousands of people marched through Washington Saturday to protest President Obama's proposed health care plans. The rowdy pilgrimage capped a series of conservative "Tea Party" rallies across the country....
There was a carnival atmosphere. Many people brought their children, strollers, dogs and folding chairs. But there was also a strong undercurrent of anger, from people like Goyet's mother, Dedi Rapp.
"I want them to leave us alone. They work for us. We are not their servant, they are our servants, and we are going to vote them all out," she says....

Tens of thousands? Try hundreds of thousands.
A lot of them seem to forget that they aren't royalty. Chuck Schumer and his "Chattering Class" speech made me wonder why anyone would have voted for him. I think these guys are a great argument for term limits.
Biggest. Rally. Ever.
At least two million.
Well it was at least hundreds and hundreds of thousands.
A lot of people. A lot of grass roots people. A lot of people from America.
A lot of people that sent a big letter to DC. Hand delivery!
What else would you expect from National Pagan Radio?
Freeloading, preening, self-important, pompous, metrosexual, communist wannabes.
If or when their heroes completely take over the government at all levels, they will have outlived their usefulness as useful idiots. They will be among the very first to be lined up in front of large trenches and executed en masse.
That is what totalitarian statist governments always do.
I only clicked on this thread to see how ridiculous the Socialists at NPR would be. “Tens of thousands.” Hah. right.
I accidentally turned on NPR Amy Goodman on the way to work this morning, she was taking up the cause of “the Gazans” (yes, “the Gazans”), who are supported by some fictional new leftie report saying the Israelis killed many “civilians.”
I turned it off before they examined the Pali/Islamist/Hamas practice of building arms depots and bunkers inside apartment buildings, mosques, and hospitals. They also didn’t get to that part about the satanic Pali death culture, and the many scenes going back two or three decades showing Pali “youths” attacking Israeli soldiers.
Maybe that’ll all be reported next week?
Of course there were “tens of thousands” in DC on saturday. It’s a true statement. My uncle’s farmhouse is “minutes from shopping.” That’s a true statement, too.
:shrug: The real number of how many came to Washinton will only count twice...once when it’s whispered in a wavering politician’s ear, and again when it’s turned into votes next year—and that’s when the whisper will become a roar.
>>> communist wannabes. <<<<
They aren’t wannabes.
Amy Goodman and her many ilk at NPR are the real thing.
I was 10 rows from the stage and there were 2 million people in DC. Each of the 2 million will 10 at least 10 people when they get home so 20 million will know how many were really there. The media can spin it all they want, the truth is already out there as there were people from all 57 states in DC.
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” -- Mahatma Gandhi
The big concept that the elitists dismiss is
“CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED”
There was a busload from Guam?
> Amy Goodman and her many ilk at NPR are the real thing.
You are probably correct.
But will they survive even the first purges?
They may be card-carrying communists, but unless they have the stomach for indiscriminate killing, as all true communists do, they will be indiscriminately killed.
Even the truest blue of all communists is subject to elimination.
I remember a Mad Magazine comic strip portrayed as a satirical musical about Nikita Krushchov. It depicted his rise to power when he instructed Beria to finish-off Stalin. One of the panels shows Beria unloading his Makarov into Stalin as Krushchov sings a parody of some show tune.
That Mad Magazine satire may not have been very far from the truth.
De-fund NPR. Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for this left wing garbage.
9/12 was a peaceful, historical day. A record number of Americans showed up in Washington demanding their liberties, and anyone who says this was a bad thing is no less than self defeating.
We should be seeing aerial photos by now.
>>> I was 10 rows from the stage and there were 2 million people in DC <<<<
I just don’t see the evidence for that number.
Well, Obama said that he campaigned in all 57 states last year so I am just taking the Messiah at hos word. If he said there were 57 states then clearly it must be true. Are you saying that Obama mis-spoke when he said 57 states ? Everyone know that his tele-prompter never makes a mistake !
At least 2 British news sites are saying that and they had aerial photographs. More importantly they do not have a vested interest in Hussein. The lines were 1.2 miles long and the crows spilled over to the lawns on both sides. Many buses were turned away and traffic was jammed for miles coming into DC. You add it all up and you have 2 million.
