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.
Wow!
The lash out because they were guilty and caught with ample video to back it up.
Where’s Yogi and BooBoo?
I highly doubt that Bill Line was out picking up trash after and Mall event. My guess is the only time he may have picked up trash was on the side of the road during prison duty.
Whoa, had no idea it was that bad. Incredible (and sickening).

This is hilarious! You get Obama responding to conservatives again instead of ignoring something like this.
Getting under his skin again...
SEE#51
Then, play one of W calling out his critics.
Is that Bill “outta” Line?
This is an administration who can’t stand to not be in the
thick of any criticism. They are highly unprofessional and
they see only what they want to see.
The pictures don’t lie!
I DON'T think so - I was there - and I saw NO damage or litter whatsoever. I'd like him to prove that.
....amazing! Of course I've had a few union jobs and one I wrote about just a few weeks ago BAILED on me when the State( CAPT before becoming an RN). Granted I won but it was the THIRD time that UNION with whom I paid dues for just left me high and dry...or in this case TRASHED me.
Not all unions are bad but many look out after number one whether it be a union payee or a union rep. This was the best "UNION" I was ever affiliated with...great beer, great fun and finally, FINALLY these scruffy old surfers from ALL walks of life pulled it together big time PLEASURE POINT NIGHT FIGHTERS, PACK YOUR TRASH: PPNF
“Apparently the unions lost out on a lot of work picking up trash?”
They figure it`s just another job illegals should have to do,,,not them.
what do people expect from locusts. this is what they do. this is who they are. they destroy, tear down, deface, trash everything. The liberals are liberals so they do not have to think about how bad of a person they are....
