Thanks so much Arianna and the Huffpost team for bringing so many of us to the rally yesterday. You did an amazingly generous and beautiful thing. I will never forget the day.

I see you managed to come up with one token african american for the video. Wasn't that a complaint about Beck's rally? All white? Spare me!

That Token was me. Are you Daft? How do you know what I am? I see you are politically immature and jump to irrational conclusions. No wonder you only have four friends, go back to school if you did not drop out already.

Obviously you are sore and irrational. By the way, get an education and stop judging people unless you know who they are. You are absolutely wrong. Spare us the ignorance!

Thank You so much for everything you did for us. The people at the buses as well as at the rally were super friendly and fun. It felt good to be a part of this movement. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

While I applaud Ms. Huffington for her intent, what this became for my kid and myself was a 18 hour round trip for a hot dog.
After leaving the house at 3am to get to Citifield by 5:30 (we actually got there at 5:45), we didn't get to RFK stadium until 1:55. Then we had to get tickets for the Metro along with about 4 thousand other people. We got to the mall at about 2:30pm to find that they weren't letting any more people inter the mall because it was too crowded. From outside, the speakers sounded like the teacher in Peanuts (Waa Wa Wa Waaaa). So we got a hot dog and made our way back to the buses. Got home at about 11pm.
We saw nobody, heard noone.
Thanks a lot for the attempt, but for my first ever rally... this kind of sucked.

We came on her bus, because she offered to get us there. Not to get us there to stand outside. Not to get us there for the last 15 min or so with no hope of seeing anyone.

Ariana is such a beautiful woman. I wish she would return back to her conservative roots...I would gladly ask her out if she did.

just submitted a benign comment and for the umpteenth time it is pending approval. Why? Not enough to do at HuffPo?

Stop covering everything Arianna does. It's starting to feel like Oprah and it's embarrassing.

Right on. Its bad enough when she is on MSNBC and ABC pretending to give the democrat point of view while constantly criticizing Obama. I guess if she pretends to be a democrat it makes her criticism of Obama valid. Why does she go on Fox, there she would not have to pretend.

This event is going to do for Huffpo what Colbert's roast of Son-of-a-BadBad-Bush Regime at Press Dinner did for him. Huffpo readership is going to go through the roof in the next 6-months.
