Title: Invoking Tea Party Anger, Thousands Rally in D.C. in Support of Dems' Agenda

Will be interesting to see how their attendance compares with Beck's rally. 

Invoking Tea Party Anger, Thousands Rally in D.C. in Support of Dems' Agenda
Published October 02, 2010 | FoxNews.com

More than 400 progressive and civil rights groups marched Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial in support of jobs, education and justice -- seeking to tap into the same anger that fuels the Tea Party movement.

Organizers, including the NAACP, La Raza and Code Pink, called it the most diverse march in history as they tried to rally their base around Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill.

"We are together. This march is about the power to the people," said MSNBC host Ed Schultz. "It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back?"

In a fiery speech that opened the "One Nation Working Together" rally on the National Mall, Schultz blamed Republicans for shipping jobs overseas and curtailing freedoms. He borrowed some of conservative commentator Glenn Beck's rhetoric and vowed to "take back our country."

"This is a defining moment in America. Are you American?" Schultz told the raucous crowd of thousands. "This is no time to back down. This is time to fight for America."

The head of the NACCP said the march is not an alternative to the Tea Party but an antidote.

"We're all working for the same purpose, the same mission," said the NAACP's Jamie Branch. "Everybody wants jobs. Everybody wants health care. It's just a way of going about doing things and if we all come together like all these people are, it will benefit everybody."

With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the four-hour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Senate. The national mood suggests gains for the GOP, and Republicans are hoping to ride voter anger to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate.

Organizers insist the rally is not partisan. They say the message is about job creation, quality education and justice. However, the largest organizations, such as the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union, tend to back Democratic candidates.

And the first speakers hardly shied from criticizing Republicans.

"They want to change this country," Schultz warned participants of Republicans.

More than 400 organizations -- ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups -- partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea party-style activists.

Beck and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gathered near the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech to urge a vast crowd to embrace traditional values. Though also billed as nonpolitical, the rally was widely viewed as a protest against the policies of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.

One Nation organizers said they began planning their event before learning about Beck's rally, and said Saturday's march is not in reaction to that.

Obama was spending the weekend at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.

People like blacken and True Idiot cannot understand or accept that they are in a very small minority and therefore anything like the Tea Party must be some giant corporate scheme because most Americans are free market hating people like themselves.

DC rally shows support for struggling Democrats

________________________ _____________________

WASHINGTON – Tapping into anger as the tea party movement has done, a coalition of progressive and civil rights groups marched by the thousands Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial and pledged to support Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill.

"We are together. This march is about the power to the people," said Ed Schultz, host of "The Ed Show" on MSNBC. "It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back?"

In a fiery speech that opened the "One Nation Working Together" rally on the National Mall, Schultz blamed Republicans for shipping jobs overseas and curtailing freedoms. He borrowed some of conservative commentator Glenn Beck's rhetoric and vowed to "take back our country."

"This is a defining moment in America. Are you American?" Schultz told the raucous crowd. "This is no time to back down. This is time to fight for America."

With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the four-hour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Senate. The national mood suggests gains for the GOP, and Republicans are hoping to ride voter anger to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate.

More than 400 organizations — ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups — partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea party-style activists.

Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck's rally. But Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s.

AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka urged participants, including his union's members, to band together.

"There is nothing, and I mean nothing, we can't do when we stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder," Trumka said. "We will stand together. And we will win together. And we won't let anyone — and I mean anyone — stand in our way."

That starts as soon as the crowds get back to their homes.

"Coming out of here, we've got to go home and ask our friends to vote, ask our neighbors to vote," NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said.

"Ever forward, never backwards," he led the crowd in a cheer.

But even participants recognized the challenge.

"There may be an enthusiasm gap, but we're not going to know until we have an election," said Ken Bork, who came from Camas, Wash. "A lot of the noise from the extreme right-wing stuff, it's been well orchestrated by big money. But it's not as bad as they're making it out."

Rose Dixon, a health care worker from Pawleys Island, S.C., said she hopes the rally sends a message to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

"Stop the obstructionism. Work together," Dixon said. "Stop playing politics as usual and to put the American people first. We're tired of the politics and the posturing and the games."

The Rev. Al Sharpton, addressing the crowd that swelled through the day, warned activists against apathy.

"We've got to go home and we've got to hit the pavement. We've got to knock on doors. We've got to ring those church bells," Sharpton said, urging the crowd to go home and volunteer for candidates.

Organizers insist the rally is not partisan. They say the message is about job creation, quality education and justice. However, the largest organizations, such as the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union, tend to back Democratic candidates.

But the speakers hardly shied from criticizing Republicans.

"If Sarah Palin had a bright idea, it'd be beginners' luck," comedian Charlie Hill joked from the stage about the 2008 vice presidential nominee.

Van Jones, who last year was forced from his job as a White House energy adviser after Beck made public his comments disparaging Republicans, said during his remarks that progressives must stand with Democrats to put America back to work.

"They don't need hateful rhetoric. They need real solutions," Jones said.
 

Beck and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gathered near the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech to urge a vast crowd to embrace traditional values. Though also billed as nonpolitical, the rally was widely viewed as a protest against the policies of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.

One Nation organizers said they began planning their event before learning about Beck's rally, and said Saturday's march is not in reaction to that.

"Our strength is your strength," SEIU President Mary Kay Henry led a chant from the steps where King delivered one of the nation's most

"We are one nation, coming together."

Obama was spending the weekend at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.

Personally I think anyone who takes the time to go to a rally is part of the problem.

Tea Party people, these clowns... all of them.

Shouldn't your asses be doing something productive? Work? Family? Something?

Shit... sitting around all day in front of the Lincoln Memorial is retarded, not to mention I can't drive up there with my kids on those days because they fuck up traffic.

I've seen that...typical far-left progressive garbage but hey, at least garbage meets garbage...they're consistent with that, lol! It is funny though how the environmental nut bags are always the ones who make the biggest mess.

The upcoming rally to "Restore Sanity" Stewart's rally Oct. 30, this one will be even trashier. Probably end up with graffiti on the Washington monument and enough urine in the reflecting pool to keep it full for the next 100yrs...but at least they won't have to rent porta-potties.

One Nation Rally Trashes WWII Memorial and Arlington Cemetery's Memorial Bridge
Saturday, October 2, 2010 | Kristinn


Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2010 10:48:29 PM by kristinn

Video and photos taken today after the One Nation Working Together Rally concluded show that participants left significant amounts of trash at memorials in our nation's capital dedicated to fallen American servicemen.

The World War II Memorial on the National Mall, which is opposite the Lincoln Memorial where the rally was held this afternoon, had food trash and rally signs all around the granite seating along the perimeter of the Pacific side of the memorial. Colorful signs bearing the logo of rally co-sponsor SEIU are prevalant. Among the signs and water bottles strewn about is what looks like an uneaten Twinkie carelessly dropped at the edge of a fountain commemorating the hard-fought victory in the Pacific theater.

A man wearing what appears to be an SEIU t-shirt is seen sitting near the discarded signs.

Video of the trashed WWII Memorial by YouTube poster Hostagehoosier. H/T HotAirPundit

Hostagehoosier also posted a video of trash left at the Lincoln Memorial here.

Memorial Bridge, which crosses the Potomac River between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, was littered with identical cardboard lunch boxes. The boxed lunches were given free of charge to union and NAACP members, along with free t-shirts, free Metro fare cards and free bus rides from across the country to the rally.Freeper Stratman1969 posted several photographs at his Marooned in Marin blog that shows the trash left on Memorial Bridge.

Unreal. 

And they called the "Restoring Honor" people lunatics and freaks, lol!

Looking at the comparisons between the two rallies it's blatantly obvious who the idiots are.

At one rally you have citizens, respectful, clean, happy, and simply representing the best of America.

...and then at one rally you have a bunch of hateful, filthy, raging screamers without not enough decency to pick up their own trash.

Of course lets give them the benefit of doubt, maybe they were trying to create jobs. Now there's lots of trash to pick up and someone will need to be hired to clean it up. What do you know, the Obama policies are finally paying off. Way to go progressives, you did it!!!

The red is not surprising, and the veil has been coming off.

After all, look at one of their key sponsors, Communist Party U.S.A.

From the CPUSA website:

A better world is possible — a world where people come before profits. That’s socialism. That’s our vision. We are the Communist Party USA.

From their constitution.

"...Only through the abolition of the capitalist system and the socialist reorganization of society can exploitation of human beings by others, and the evils of oppression, war, racism, environmental degradation, and poverty be ended. We seek to build a socialist society which puts people and nature before profits....we hereby establish this Constitution of the Communist Party of the United States America."

Almost word for word what the founders warned against.

Beck didn't force anyone to go on the basis of keeping their job.

Beck didn't have the president, the NY Times, the Huffington Post and countless other supposed "Neutral" parties shouting the call to attend.

I'm not saying Beck didn't have a good solid platform from which to announce and promote his rally...not saying that at all.

Here is the difference Hugo - one march had people asking to be left alone by the govt and for more personal freedom, the other went begging like parasites for more taxpayer money to be re-distributed to them.  Big difference.

Another thing, most of those leeches and parasites I saw yesterday don't understand that it is the very policies and programs they advocate that send jobs overseas and cause businesses to shut down.

It was well reported that the Restoring Honor rally didn't leave any kind of mess. 

I didn't see any of those reports.

Sorry.

Yes, Glenn Beck’s Rally Was Officially Bigger Than The One Nation Rally
by Glynnis MacNicol | 1:56 pm, October 3rd, 2010

Rally numbers are the new sports statistics! According to every major media outlet yesterday’s big tent One Nation rally did not manage to draw as many people to the National Mall as Glenn Beck’s 8/28 Restoring Honor rally despite the fact they had media powerhouse Ed Schultz as a featured speaker! From the New York Times:

    Noting that they began planning their rally in April, organizers said they were not responding to a march organized by Glenn Beck, which drew enormous crowds to the front of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28. But they acknowledged that their hope was to draw an even larger crowd to Saturday’s event. Significant areas of the National Mall that had been filled during Mr. Beck’s rally were empty. In a broadcast on Thursday, Mr. Beck criticized the liberals’ march, saying his supporters paid their own way to drive to Washington, while labor unions chartered hundreds of buses to ferry demonstrators to Saturday’s rally. Mr. Beck’s rally resembled a religious revival, but Saturday’s event was overwhelmingly a political and policy pep rally, although it largely avoided partisan language.

And from the AP: “Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck’s rally. But Saturday’s crowds were less dense and didn’t reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck’s rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s.”

You get the point. Beck’s rally was bigger, quite a feat considering all the so-called “communist” support the One Nation rally received! Perhaps the secret socialists are not quite as fearsome a force as some people have led the public to believe.

Another thing. Beck’s supporters may also be more tidy. Much was made following the 8/28 rally about how clean attendees had left the National Mall. So perhaps you will not be surprised to hear that yesterday’s rally goers allegedly left it a total mess. Video ‘proof’ pulled from YouTube below (I was at Beck’s rally but not at this one, so can’t confirm the difference on this point).


One more thing. A number of sites have posted galleries of the signs at yesterday’s rally (see here and here) and generally speaking they are of standard political/union fair. However, I’m pretty sure if CSPAN had caught anyone on the Mall at the 8/28 rally waving a sign equivalent to the ‘Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are racist’ sign that popped up on yesterday’s coverage we would have been reading and hearing condemning coverage about it on the MSM nearly every day since.

Other than that I guess all there is to say is over to you Jon Stewart!

Right... a report after the fact... Sorry, that's really not a report in my eyes.

I thought this was a good one...it shows a comparison.

BTW, how could you have a report on the mess made or not made until after the fact?

I know what you're saying, but I'm just saying that it's very odd for someone to say, oh, these guys were so messy, where the conservatives were so clean when they were here.

I mean, come on.

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter but I think it does show a difference in character between the two crowds. At the two rallies you definitely have two different sets of people and they disagree on a host of issues but our character and how we handle ourselves is above "issues" and politics and I think the mess left by those at this wkends rally really shows a lack of regard and respect for the U.S. I mean come on, they trashed an area that is for lack of a better word "sacred ground" to the United States.

No doubt... I agree completely. The mess was disgusting and I find it completely shitty by the group.

I'm just saying that we have no comparison photos from the previous rally.

That said, with no comparison, what the group did at the liberal rally was quite horrible.

The video I posted has shots of both rallies. What both rallies looked like, the grounds, afterward, as well as shots showing the difference in crowd size.

Now, you have left-winged goofies on Huffington Post, claiming that their trash is proof that their rally was bigger than Beck's rally.

So there was trash there... but someone came back and put it into piles so it was easier for them to pick up.

That's cool and all, but it's not like there wasn't trash there.

I think if anything it shows that the organizers of the Beck rally were forward thinking enough to put people on trash detail and collect the trash into the piles.

Libs make a mess everywhere they go.  I live in an area 5-1 dem to to repub and these people are freaking pigs.  The piss on everything and live like heathens.  They are better off in the bronx zoo than in society.  At least in the zoo the mess would be contained to a cage or walled off exhibit. 

I'm serious, animals in the bronx zoo behave better than these dirty, filthy scumbags.

Less than half as many attended the one nation rally than the Beck rally yet there was 10x the trash afterward.

Also, notice how the New York Times tells outright lies in the article Arnold posted above.

What rally did they cover? Avoided partisan language? There are several transcripts availible online of the speech Schultz gave. The entire speech was dedicated to bashing republicans.

Bottom line-- it was a largely empty freak show of everything mainstream America hates. Further, it was a massive failure and embarassment.

Case closed.

That's not what the parks guy in the video said.
