Arianna Huffington went on television and said she would pay for the busses. Who was paying for Freedomworks Busses? Washinton Lobbyists

Call it a free welfare vacation!!
pqhquest !!! ... On The Money !

So many of these "Knuckle Draggin Puddin Heads" are truly addicted to the "Free Ride" "Looney Lib" mindset !!!

Nothing new here ! "Hand Out Day" is always top priority with these folks ... LOL !

Once again with the homosexual slurs.

Was the rally you are speaking of a political rally? With the Hufington Post footing the bill for buses, i think this Stewart rally will turn into another angry political rally like the One Nation rally, and they will prob leave just as much trash behind, or at best, hire a union bunch to clean it up for them.

I have the opinion that Stewart is a class act, and I am hoping he will see that the mess gets cleaned up for them, cuz the people attending his political rally sure as hell won't do it on their own.

Maybe the Huffpo is doing this to try to reestablish the lib base to keep their paper going. Do people really buy that drivel?

From today's NYT:


"Most national news organizations have made requests for credentials to cover the event, and almost 300,000 people have so far signed up to attend. What Mr. Stewart’s cable network, Comedy Central, is labeling “satellite rallies” have been scheduled in more than 40 locations nationally and at least six foreign countries."

Yeah, it is.

More great news - Oprah offers her support to The Daily Show audience last night:

""You're going to the rally! You're going to the rally! You're going to the rally! Everybody's going to the rally!" Oprah exclaimed. "Now get out there and restore some sanity!"

According to JustJared.com, Oprah's offer includes a plane ticket and hotel accommodations in Washington for the rally."

Nope, not in the least. She makes people happy by her generosity. What's to be embarrassed about?
