Guess tomorrows news might have a bit more including totals. This doesn't seem to be turning into the massive support of public sector unions as many thought it would.
Maybe people had second thoughts about supporting Socialism.

Blaze Exclusive: International Socialists Orchestrate Unions‘ Rally to ’Save the American Dream’ | The Blaze

"Here in Washington, D.C., leftist activists at MoveOn.org are co-hosting a rally Saturday with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). But behind the scenes, The Blaze has exclusively learned the rally has actually been organized by the International Socialist Organization."

I've noticed that the Socialist party has latched on to the Dems and show up at any/all protests.
There's always one person with a Socialist Party sign on the side of the Dems.

While I've seen posters here on C-D say the Tea Party is leading us down the road of socialism the Socialists themselves are siding with the Dems on spending and "social justice" entitlements.

I believe the Democratic Party has been deeply infiltrated by the Socialists. The Democratic Socialists of America use the term "Democratic" to soften the blow and worm their way in. Check out this article, which I know many will refuse to even look at and even hold a clove of garlic in front of because of the source, but for those with an open mind, its worth a read and some consideration.

Soros group wants Obama to rule by executive order

"The Democratic Socialists of America's chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party and remove the stigma attached to "socialism" in the eyes of most Americans."

"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an organizing document of the DSA. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."

The OP wanted evidence & he got it. Who cares who is providing it? That has nothing to do w/it.

Lol not even CNN is covering the story. I can't see any mention of it on CNN.com. Looks like Tempes' post became an epic fail just like Ed Schultz' rally when he said he can rally 100,000+ people and barely any showed up
