Liberal groups to gather in D.C. for One Nation rally

Washington Post ^ | September 30, 2010

[La Lydia]

Liberal groups hoping to revive enthusiasm before November's midterm elections are encouraging their members to come to the Mall on Saturday for a rally that they expect to draw tens of thousands of people. Their goal is to reclaim the excitement that surged among left-leaning groups after the 2008 presidential race...

The organizers of this weekend's rally, dubbed One Nation Working Together, are calling it the "most diverse march in history." The amalgam of 400 progressive groups - including environmentalists, antiwar activists, church and civil rights groups, union organizers and gay rights coalitions - is planning four hours of speeches, songs and poetry...

One Nation's organizers, hoping to compete with the tea party movement, will try to hold the groups together as a revived political force if their rally is successful. They are promoting the event through their network of groups, on liberal radio and on television host Ed Schultz's show...

The groups involved represent many of President Obama's core supporters, including the National Council of La Raza, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union and the U.S. Student Association. The rally is separate from the Democratic Party's plan to spend $50 million to try to reach those same voters, though Organizing for America...

Organizers' expectations are high, though leaders were still trying to raise money to bring 50,000 students to the event. A plan by Comedy Central television hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to hold dueling rallies on Oct. 30 could appeal to some potential One Nation participants, creating competition for liberal-leaning would-be activists.

Unlike Beck's rally, in which overt politics took a back seat to religious and patriotic themes, the progressive groups will repeatedly remind attendees to vote in the midterm elections, said Arlene Holt Baker, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO....

I don’t and won’t want to be part of their One Nation.

[WalterSkinner]

..like any liberal event—it will look like the bar scene from Star Wars...

[usmcobra]

One Party, One Nation, The One.......

[avacado]

" Last month, for instance, conservative commentator Glenn Beck partly filled the Mall with tens of thousands of his supporters."

Tens of thousands? That's less than 100,000. What BS reporting!

[GraceG]

Your typical rent-a-mob groups, and they have the audacity to call tea partiers an astroturf movement.

[ETL]

Thanks for posting! Beck is all over this too.

From his The Blaze website:

President Barack Obama’s own Organizing for America has praised the effort, calling it the “biggest progressive demonstration in decades.” The list of organizations offering their official endorsements for Saturday’s “One Nation” rally reads like a who’s who of the far-left in America, including some usual suspects:

AFL-CIO

American Federation of Teachers

Center for Community Change

Green for All

NAACP

National Council of La Raza

Rainbow PUSH Coalition

SEIU: Service Employees International Union

Sojourners

UAW, International Union

AFSCME

Alliance for Democracy

Campaign for America’s Future

Campaign for Peace and Democracy

Campus Progress

Chicago Democratic Socialists of America

Code Pink

Color of Change.org

Communist Party USA (CPUSA)

From the website of the Communist Party, USA...
(prior to the election)

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

After the election....

A Landslide Mandate For Change

A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!

We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.

The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.

There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.

The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming

Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:

Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.

In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.

We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.

We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.

In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.

Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.

Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?

Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?

And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system – a system steeped in racism – no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?

All these things are within reach now!

It will be funny ‘cuz the libtards think that if 400 groups are endorsing it the thousands in each will atend. Unfortunately for them the same 50 people are members of all the Socialist and Marxist and Progressive groups!

[cripplecreek]

When you look at the entire list of endorsing orgs, you might notice that many of them are just tiny subdivisions of larger groups.

Basically chopping up groups to make more names for their list. Some of these groups probably don’t have more than a few members if any.

[SamuraiScot]

including the National Council of La Raza

So, which "one nation" are we talking about?

[meyer]

Do you think that Nazi Pelosi will prohibit busses from entering the city like she did on 8/28?

[Painesright]

Wow! Cockroaches scrambling. Run varmits, run!!

[Dahoser]

The organizers of this weekend's rally, dubbed One Nation Working Together, are calling it the "most diverse march in history."

Amazing how these assclowns can't see the irony of calling it One Nation while tripping over themselves to make sure they acknowledge every possible diverse element.

Worse yet. Obama’s poetry.

POP

Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken

In, sprinkled with ashes,

Pop switches channels, takes another

Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks

What to do with me, a green young man

Who fails to consider the

Flim and flam of the world, since

Things have been easy for me;

I stare hard at his face, a stare

That deflects off his brow;

I’m sure he’s unaware of his

Dark, watery eyes, that

Glance in different directions,

And his slow, unwelcome twitches,

Fail to pass.

I listen, nod,

Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,

Beige T-shirt, yelling,

Yelling in his ears, that hang

With heavy lobes, but he’s still telling

His joke, so I ask why

He’s so unhappy, to which he replies...

But I don’t care anymore, cause

He took too damn long, and from

Under my seat, I pull out the

Mirror I’ve been saving; I’m laughing,

Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face

To mine, as he grows small,

A spot in my brain, something

That may be squeezed out, like a

Watermelon seed between

Two fingers.

Pop takes another shot, neat,

Points out the same amber

Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine, and

Makes me smell his smell, coming

From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem

He wrote before his mother died,

Stands, shouts, and asks

For a hug, as I shink,* my

Arms barely reaching around

His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; ‘cause

I see my face, framed within

Pop’s black-framed glasses

And know he’s laughing too.

Yes, commie groups do that often. However, although they are rather small in actual membership, they have a huge influence on political and military matters because they manipulate millions of "Useful Idiot" liberals and other assorted know-nothing, easily deceived types. They are the ones who run the so-called "anti-war" movement and other such phony-baloney, "sound good" (to the naive and/or stupid) movements.

[Thrownatbirth]

I’ve heard libs complain the 30 Oct. Stewart/Colbert rally has really drawn away a lot of college kids who normally travel to DC for leftist orgies. Most can only afford one trip.

[MrB]

Also, you have to understand that they often use the same English words as we do,
but they mean radically different things.

They say “diverse”, we think
“composed of a mixture of different people groups with different ideas”.

They say “diverse” and mean
“Fewer white people, and less traditional American culture.”

[ETL]

Amazing how these assclowns can't see the irony of calling it One Nation while tripping over themselves to make sure they acknowledge every possible diverse element.It's really a "one-world" (socialist/communist) movement. And it's far from being new.

...Basically chopping up groups to make more names for their list.

A few master 'organizations' print and distribute signs, bus 'participants' in, and supervise the press exposure. This appears to be exactly the kind of crap the party put on every month during the W years. Same actors, same method. This is supposed to motivate the democrat base, make 'em feel like they're part of something big, new, and exciting. Even those dipshits know better than that by now.
