Compare the above disgrace to the Beck rally.
I noticed his luke warm response
Kinda like an unknown opening act at an Aerosmith concert

"we're gonna play one from our first album" ?? who are these guys?

LOL

That's ridiculous. What exactly are Beck and Palin destroying?

Nope, not the hero-worshipping Beck & Palin FOX fan crowd

You did not realize that hero-worship is for lemmings, not liberals?

what I commented on the underwhelming response to Ed's speech. I didn't hear much enthusiasm from the crowd, but Ed was fired up

Well then, you should be more shocked that in the 8/28 rally, Beck did not stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to do his speeches. Also they were told that they could not point loud speakers towards the memorial, due to it being a "sacred" place.

But in the One Nation rally, they had a BAND on the steps of the memorial and desecrated the site and had no respect for MLK or President Lincoln.

There's simply no way around this, the Democrats are behind in polls all over the country and they're desperate because they see their gravy train about to lose it's power. Of course the attendance was embarrassing for the left, they can't even pay 100K people to attend a rally. Now the left wants to act like they didn't attack the attendance numbers of the rally a few weeks ago, do you guys really believe in your hearts that all voters are as ignorant as liberal voters? November is going to be a slaughter and there's nothing you can do about it, the constant whining from the left shows that we're doing something right.

There obviously were not any Palin/Beck fans at the One Nation rally. How do we know that? Because they were holding up signs saying that Palin/Beck were Racists!!

How many signs like that were at the 8/28 rally saying bad things about Obama, or the like? I'll give you a hint...ZERO.

Yes, it is a sacred place to millions of Americans, and your sarcasm proved my point that FAUX Extravaganza was only there to commercialize Beck and Palin book sales. It was a revolting display of corporatist greed.

Uh-huh. I guess those who hold it sacred, only for their own purposes of course, own that site, own that date in history....right?

If you compare what went on that day at the Beck rally, which was respectful, nonpartisan and even MLK SON said Beck honored his father's memory, to what went on Sat with the Left rally, communists, marxists, socialists, democrats....there is no comparison.
