Liberal groups to gather in D.C. for One Nation rally
Washington Post ^ | September 30, 2010

Posted on 09/30/2010 8:20:00 AM PDT by 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....

“the “most diverse march in history.”

Race baiters, union thugs, voter fraud hacks, Purple Shirts and diverse sycophants of the Communist and multi-culty PC persuasion. Be sure to clean the Mall afterward and maybe fumigate it.

Liberal groups my eye, it looks like a rally for Communism in America more that anything.

Never let a deranged Marxist read you poetry.

Due to the increasing number of endorsements, we are no longer able to publish all the names of endorsing organizations on the website.

Given the overlapping membership of many of these organizations, they probably have more organizations than individuals attending.

I don't think they know either...Don't sweat it it. It's a real small detail.

The cover up of the sinister communist roots and puppeteering behind the so-called 'progressives' has been unceasing, and there is no way they can really ramp it up...they are already at the ultimate point of Saul Alinsky tactics trying to destroy via lie night and day with horrific smears against any body for constitutional liberty and small government with ONLY enumerated powers...and since there are so many such patriots standing up...the smear tactics are backfiring against the MSM big time.

People no longer care if someone is a dreaded "McCarthyite" when it is so evident he was right.

Is there really any doubt as to WHO the people running MSNBC are?

Nonetheless we can all take heart...the evidence this morning is in that their phony rally to stir up 'enthusiasm' is collapsed...only a sparse number of people showed up.

Fox is showing the rally. It is exclusively union thugs, all with pre-printed t-shirts and signs and (presumably) walkin’ around money. Almost no one else is there. LOL!
