In other words the MSM did their finest imitation of the Three Monkeys as combined with Sgt.Schultz and the Stooges to deprecate that assembly. The MSM said that the count was in the tens of thousands and left it dangling. From the pictures, it appeared to be more like hundreds of thousands but the MSM shut their reporting down as rapidly as they could. My most impressive factoid other than the count was that this massive crowd largely cleaned up after themselves, another fact ignored by MSM.
Now the MSM demonstrate completely how far they have moved to the left and their fear as this 08/28 event approaches. This WaPo article implicitly challenges Beck to exceed the prior year rally whilst hiding the goal line so that they have the latitude to claim FAILURE at their own whim!
FYI: Note that, like last year, the resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. will be out of sight by being out of town. Strategic thinking there, Mr President.
I see they’re ignoring that Dr. King’s neice, Dr. Alveda King, will be a guest speaker.
Inconvenient fact?
I assume Fox will be covering it live?
Ummm, no. There will be offense ... there is always offense. Al Sharpton leads the church of the perpetually offended.
We’ll be going ‘for the cause,’ not for Beck.
Last year Beck touted the 9/12 march (which we also attended) as if it were his own brainchild. The crowd was massive.
Alas, the MSM reported relatively small and disappointing turnout, which was not true. Neither Beck nor FNS ever challenged those numbers, faithfully repeating the low turnout. Beck backed off his earlier big talk. Very disappointing. Never really watched him again.
BUT showing up IS important and we will go nonetheless. It’s not about Beck or Palin, it’s about US; each of us who goes represents another dozen or more who can’t make it.
I have NEVER heard that Fox News was involved with this in any way, shape, or form...the 'media' is lying again...
On the other hand; 500,000 people gathering in Washington for ANY reason should be a news story worthy of coverage...
Lame Stream Media attempt to trivialize and minimize both Beck's 8/28 rally and the 9/12 rally last year, which was HUGE!!
Well, we'll see what it's all about on Saturday, I guess... ;-)
The WaPo headline, as are many headlines these days, is only an opinion and not accurate. It’s evident from this article that neither Amy Gardner nor the headline writer know what the tea-party movement is. Or if they do, then they are lying.
How folks are going to vote this year and in the future cannot be measured by whether just a few or many, many people attend a rally such as Beck’s or any rally at all.
For all of you who are attending, I hope thaty Beck has rented the same portapotties that the Clintons got for Chelsea’s wedding..Those were nice..
Leaving Indy tomorrow at 8 am for the long drive to DC.
Maryland PING!
And I care about what the Compost (or any of the other MSM) think?
