The four-hour rally, supported by more than 400 liberal groups, attracted people with diverse concerns, some of which were reflected in signs they carried. "It is NOT ok to Bash Muslims," read one popular sign. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Hate," read another, referring to the ban on openly gay military service members. There were also several attacks on conservatives. One person near the Lincoln Memorial held up a sign that read, "Axis of Ignorance: Tea Party, Republicans, Fox News."Hard to argue about the ignorant GOP on their controlled AOL. My Daddy always said, "Never argue with ignorance or try to reason with insanity." If you don't think Limball, Palin, O'donalld,and the tea baggers are ignorant then you may want to think is Beck insane? Are you? Their collective I.Q. is very low. two 50 I.Q.'s do not make a 100! Intelligent people will vote Democratic. Ignorant and wealthy will vote GOP. If you make over $250,000. a year then by all means vote R for Rich Retards

This isn't a party thing this is about getting everyone the ability to find employment and they don't care what party you come from. They just want to express their pain. Does it take violent action for people to get the message? God I hope not. There are jobs out there and these people are too lazy and would rather take unemployment right? Man that just shows how ignorant some people are. These people are concerned about getting real employment and being able to get their lives back on track. To have a future. They don't have anything but their ability to work hard to count on. That and the faith in their fellow Americans to step up and say they have had enough. They want to work and support their families and build a life for them.

Quite honestly, if you take at those who actually voted for the Tea party candidates, if they were running in an open Primary they wouldn't even make the general election. Like in Kentucky in which Conway and Mongarido had both more votes then Ron Paul, but the News agencies gave Ron Paul the headlines and he came in a distant third in actually primary voting, but instead of reporting that, they reported that he was polled ahead of Jack Conway. This tells you about the bias of the News agencies.
October 03 2010 at 12:13 AM PermalinkWhere does the bias lie and why? There have been many rallies on the Mall, why is it that this one gets diminished by only being compared to the one that happened just a few weeks ago? This comparison seems to miss the point that rallying on the Mall is a way that many movements have demonstrated by going to the site of the government - The Capitol. Why is it that the Tea Party and Glenn Beck rally had tens of thousands, and this one is said to have thousands, yet the numbers are comparable, according to your article? This is just more of the same skewed perspective, and it needs to stop.
October 03 2010 at 12:11 AM PermalinkThe tea party candidate for the governer of New York State is named Karl Palidino. This is what he said about the poor and unemployed and I quote "the poor should be put in underused prisons and undergo training programs and training in personal hygiene." He also said that he intends to RULE N.Y.State like a benevolent DICTATOR which is how all Dictators veiw themselves. The Dems and the independents and the middle class are NOT the elites, the Tea Party is, and they are using the poorest and most ignorant among us, against themselves and against all of us, by means of fear.
October 03 2010 at 12:11 AM PermalinkI thought that people in this country had good sense, but if 1 person in this country cast a republican ballot, well I don't know what to say. The reason why we are in the mess we are in is because of the failed policies of the Republicans, now they want us to put them back in office so they can finish us off.
October 03 2010 at 12:10 AM PermalinkMeg Whitman's illegal made $23.00 an hour. Many Americans with college degrees are not making $23.00 an hour, my daughter is one of them. The illegal crying on Allred's shoulder was absolutely disgusting. What is she crying for, she's not a victim, she is the criminal and is a stereotype of all the illegals. McCain saying that they are taking jobs Americans don't want is a lie. Want to find an illegal? Look in the public schools, look in construction, look in trucking. The rich elite who are supposedly our public servants don't have a clue what is going on in middle America. We need to take our country back.
October 03 2010 at 12:06 AM Permalinkmy dad always told me if it takes you a year to get yourself in this finacial mess, then it will take two years of hard work to pay it off. we have had 8 years of digging our selfs deep in to this mess with bush and his misfits and we expect obama to be able to get us out in less than two years, we hold both houses but with the republican filabuster. they tie the hands of the people we sent to clean up this mess. we need more dems not less so we can clean this mess up for the good of the people who sent them to office to do a job. it is going to take hard work, i am willing to do the hard work. are you?
October 03 2010 at 12:06 AM PermalinkBocabrad, I hope you don't mind my editing your comment just a little; It's always amazing how many people drink the kool-aid on the left. Liberals and democrats have always been and will most likely always be for themselves. The republicans have told us in no uncertain terms that they want to save the middle-class. They want to pay forf Medicare, they want to make people pay for their own health care, and they'd like to see all retirement plans be paid for by the employees who do a day's work for a day's wages. Now, if you have the ability to think.... what will this do to you? Just the health care coverage alone will cost the American taxpayers billions per year. How many of you can afford that? So, for you (the person receiving welfare and other government subsidies) to pay for your retirement... how much spare money do you have? Can you save a few million to cover what the liberals need? There, now that's the way ya should have written it!!! You betcha!
October 03 2010 at 12:05 AM PermalinkTheir rally is quite different than the conservatives. The liberals tend to be on an "attack" all the time. That's what they do. The conservatives come across as just wanting our freedom as this country was founded...what's wrong with that? I don't think the Liberals are sure why they rally, I think they just like to make noise. Further, whenever there are TV cameras....there is Al Sharpton.
