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 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....

Mmmmmmm. Poetry. My favorite way to spend the day. /sarc
Hey everybody! What’s say we go to the office of a candidate in our area to volunteer while leftcompoops stage their rally? They generate thier press, we talk to the registered voters . . .
Very convenient, all enemies in one place. Anybody's taking pictures?
“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.

"Not to mention rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, a$$-kickers, Sh!t-kickers and Methodists."
Thank you. Does that complete the list? Sounds as though it does.
Liberal groups my eye, it looks like a rally for Communism in America more that anything.
Pretty much.
Never let a deranged Marxist read you poetry.

Given the overlapping membership of many of these organizations, they probably have more organizations than individuals attending.
But why is the Coalition Rainbow only colored Bolshevik Red?
I never can remember: are the Rainbow people the gays or the Jesse Jacksonites?
I don't think they know either...Don't sweat it it. It's a real small detail.
ROTFL!! Very inclusive of you!
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!
Commies rockin’ the Mall on Saturday!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
