>Remember when the Dalai Lama was given a tour of the White Trash...??

National Park Service spokesman Bill Line has lashed out at conservative critics of the trashing of the National Mall by attendees of the leftist One Nation Working Together rally held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.
The Park Service is part of the Interior Department which is headed up by Obama appointee, former U.S. Senator Ken Salazar (Dem.-CO).
Line spoke to the Daily Caller, in an unprecedented protest of coverage by the Caller and other conservative news sites and blogs that criticized the One Nation Rally for the large amounts of trash left at the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial and Memorial Bridge near Arlington Cemetery.
Line's statements are contradicted by a Park Ranger filmed at the Lincoln Memorial after the rally ended who said the trash was the worst he had seen. The Ranger noted the conservative Restoring Honor Rally held on August 28 by Glenn Beck was cleaned up by its participants who left the trash bagged and piled for pick up.
Line's comments from the Caller:
“I consider [The Daily Caller’s article] to be highly inaccurate,” said a very forceful NPS spokesman, Bill Line.
“To imply that this past weekend’s event is more dirty, contains more trash or is filthier than any other demonstration is not grounded in reality.”
...
“This trash you have on [TheDC’s] front page could be found at any other large rally that has happened previously at the Mall and could happen in the future,” said Line.
Line said the garbage at the “One Nation” rally was no different than any other rally. Trash, it seems, is apolitical.
“It is common, typical, regular ordinary, commonplace. You get the idea?” said Line. “It’s very commonplace with ANY rally, march demonstration, anywhere on the Mall where you have large numbers of people.”
The Caller also spoke with a spokeman for the One Nation Rally, Flo McAfee who said the group wanted to leave the Mall as they found it.
“In putting all this together we very much worked hand in hand with the park service because we wanted to follow the guidelines and respect the grounds also,” said McAfee. “You know, those moments are our moments just like it’s everyone in the nation so we wanted to make sure it was left as we found it.”
Conservatives have been holding rallies on a regular basis on the National Mall since Free Republic's October 31, 1998 rally to impeach Bill Clinton, called the March for Justice. I was a part of the rally and subsequent ones by the Second Amendment Sisters, the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com, Support Our Troops and Their Mission Weekend, and the Gathering of Eagles. We always left the rally sites cleaner than we found them. The tea party rallies and Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally have also left their rally sites pristine.
The same cannot be said for liberals when they hold their rallies.
I cannot remember the Park Service lashing out at critics of a rally like they have with the One Nation Rally.

I don’t know if it would work but there must be a way through FOIA to find out how much the Park Service paid in OT to clean up after this and other rallies.
YYYYAAAAAWWWWWNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
My these marxists are sensitive, aren’t they?
I guess we didn’t see what we saw on the mall that weekend. The video, of course, was taken out of context.
Pigs are Pigs , can’t change that.
He’s a Dem donor, according to OpenSecrets.org.
Figures.
Trash does as trash is.

Typical with these libtards.
I can corroborate what Kristinn said. Kristinn is a STERN taskmaster and makes us pick up ALL of our garbage. Everytime we have a FReep it’s “Signs?”... check. “M.O.A.B.?”...check. “Megaphones with extra batteries?”... Check, TastyKakes?....Check! “Extra Large Heavy Duty Trash Bags?”...CHECK!
That’s an amazing video showing the true intent - and character - of these commies.
Remember, these are very simple people. They are simply going to take pictures of the Lib rally trash and claim they were pictures of the Beck rally. They won’t be able to use all the photos without altering them but they will find pictures of the littered mall and claim they were Beck rally pics. Then - they will destroy the career of the park service guy for what he said about the trash issue. It’s no mystery who was on ‘mall cleanup’ detail that day and the others working the same venue won’t want the blame or are the wrong gender (female) etc. to be mistaken for the park guy. Yup - that’s simply how the simple people are going to handle the simple truth - lie about it.
Bill Line appears to be a lying Obamanoid. Typical for this regime.
This guy is full of malarky. There's a HUGE difference between conservative cleanliness and liberal filth.
Sounds like a pig farmer covering for the mess his pigs leave.
tflabo had it right: Pictures don’t lie and Glenn Beck showed photos of his rally and how clean the mall was afterwards as contrasted to what the reds left behind.
I wonder if that little leftist shit Secy of Interior Salazar told the National Park Service to react to this story. Would be a nice story to uncover if that was the case.
The NPS has been pretty good at taking care of the trash the communists have left over the decades (and I covered these rallies for decades). It looks like the Obie regime is politicizing them too. Seig Heil!
Once again, trash defending trash.
