D.C. Police and the Fire Department reported there were 50,000 - 60,000 protesters and not the 1.5 million organizers and Faux News made up. "That's probably" why the big guns weren't there. They told that crowd they'd be there to get more people to come and rant. That's why the entertainment was so "pathetic"
I went to the inauguration and when it was over if we weren't peaceful someone could have been hurt the crowd was so tightly packed.
At the rally today they had enough space between them to set up a Bar B Que grill, lawn chairs and a touch football game.

CBS News just reported on radio (WCBS) that "protesters carried Confederate as well as American flags being displayed" in the protest.

That says it all!

Interesting how, in some two dozen or so pictures of the "demonstrators" on HP, or the New York Times, I did not see even one non-white person in any of them.

I could have predicted that.

You can't feel it, can you? You libs, safely ensconced in your Huffpo bubble, patting each other on the back, have no idea what is going to happen. This country, for the most part, is not like you. You could fool them long enough to elect BO, but the pendulum is swinging back to the right and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
Attack the right all you want, call them racist, toothless, ignorant, white trailer trash, I've seen the posts, they are hate filled intolerance at it's worst, but it only makes you look desperate to have to resort to name-calling.
You dont believe me. You don't want to. You'll see.

It is you that apparently live in a bubble. Right wing lies, conspiracies, misconceptions, and just plain meanness will not succeed in this debate. Obama did his magic last week. We will have universal healthcare reform. It won't take the form that I would have preferred, but it will be a giant step in the right direction. You've been blinded by Freedomworks, Fox News, and other right wing propagandists, so I don't blame you personally. Freedom will prevail.

[imworking4me]

Apparently, you forgot the large majority that elected Obama, thereby rejecting McCain and Whatshername. Keep sucking up what your heroes like Beckbaugh and Inshannity feed you. And if you want to see l%nch mob intolerance, just look at the posted pictures of yesterday's phony demo!

"This country, for the most part, is not like you."

Most of the country is exactly like us. WE are the majority. WE won the White House, Congress and Senate.

NO, hon, the teabaggers are the Minority and lunatic fringe. they represent 30% of the nation and most of them are older than 65. (Ave age of an Oreilly viewer is 71)

And the crazier they get the more the Moderate repubs will run screaming from the repub party permanently. Without them, you'll never have the majority again. Ever.

I wish there was one near me because I would be the first one there wearing my "Mocha Latte" hat. Because I'm a member of the elite. I can read and spell.

Be very afraid of 2010 communists

[yweston]

Why are your 50,000 - 60,000 KKK members going to change the world with their vote?

[yweston]

Why are your 50,000 - 60,000 rally protesters going to change the world with their vote?

[roannamac]

wow.. what a bunch of racist. and that is what they are folks. these people are racist. period.

[ResearchtheFacts]

The media is gutless in not calling it what it really is. If they did, some people would back away from being aligned with these rallies.

[ResearchtheFacts]

Their viewpoint is not that of main stream America.

[ResearchtheFacts]

These aren't protest, they are rallies fueled by hate of a black man that's president.

[breeze81]

pete seegar would be proud... he always said you have to speak up against the power..

power to the people..

[ResearchtheFacts]

I don't seriously if he would.

[breeze81]

beats those boring global warming marches in the snow....

[imworking4me]

The only snow is the snow job you and your fellow Rethugs are trying to put over on people!

[desertbloom]

Quite frankly, I wish they all would rapture themselves right out of here. Bye Bye.

[SimianNation]

No matter how much we detest, it is better to convert, than to dispatch....

[breeze81]

If it was'nt for the blue dogs we already be stuck with a terrible health care bill.

puplic option and all,, go blue dogs or should we call them kennedy dems
