The left is holding a rally on Oct. 2nd

I didn't know this, did you? Labor leaders, liberals, religious leaders, and the NAACP will hold a rally on the National Mall on October 2nd. "The AFL-CIO is determined that the Tea Party and it's corporate backers are not going to get the final word". AFL-CIO executive vice president Arlene Holt said she expects tens of thousands of union families to come.
“We are fueled by hope and not hate,” Holt Baker said.



I found this out by reading one of those hate blogs on Linda's sidebar today, this is what the hatemonger said about this up-coming rally...

"The usual collection of union thugs, American-bashing leftists, black nationalists, LGBT activists, and other Progressive shit-lickers"....

I assume this COMPLETE MORON means these will be the rally goers...


he also says this...
Clearly something about Beck’s rally struck a nerve on the left. Otherwise why do they feel the need to mimic the event? The fact that this event will be organized by unions and leftist organizations rather than one man saying “please join me”, is pretty telling. It says that there is no one person on the left with enough influence to get 300,000 people to come on their own accord.
BWAHaaaaahaaaaa!!! The rightwingers chose a rodeo clown as their Messiah and they make fun of us??? Damn....fuckwads
No matter how many people show up to this copycat event, I fully expect the media to treat it like the entire world attended. I also expect the media to drone on about how much more diversity there is at the event, no matter what the ratio of black to white will be.
In the end, the left will get to “feel” good about their selves, but as far as the event switching the mood of the country towards leftist policies, nothing will change.

WTF???!

 did this moron just say "ONE MAN" meaning Beck, orchestrated that honor rally? Wow rightwingers are sure taking you for a fool. We all know the groups, starting with Fox and the Koch brothers were behind Becks rally. Damn...


Then he says no one on the left has enough influence to get 300,000 people to come on their own accord!! LOLOL!  I guess he was on Mars during the Obama inauguration, oh and the Million Man March, Gay pride events, MLK speeches, Vietnam war protests, and Obama rallies before he was elected drew more people then any rightwinger, SHEEEEEEEZ!!!

What struck a nerve about Beck and his rally was the utter hypocrisy, the guy is a disgraceful lying hypocrite and he did it for the MONEY people, the MONEY! 

CopyCat event?? Okay think what you want. Lefties have been rallying and  drawing huge crowds before you and Beck were even out of your shitty diapers. The left are the true patriots and we know how to rally!  


Frank Rich, New York Times...he's talking about the Beck rally...


There’s just one element missing from these snapshots of America’s ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless populist uprising: the sugar daddies who are bankrolling it, and have been doing so since well before the “death panel” warm-up acts of last summer. Three heavy hitters rule. You’ve heard of one of them, Rupert Murdoch. The other two, the brothers David and Charles Koch, are even richer, with a combined wealth exceeded only by that of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett among Americans. But even those carrying the Kochs’ banner may not know who these brothers are.
Their self-interested and at times radical agendas, like Murdoch’s, go well beyond, and sometimes counter to, the interests of those who serve as spear carriers in the political pageants hawked on Fox News. The country will be in for quite a ride should these potentates gain power, and given the recession-battered electorate’s unchecked anger and the Obama White House’s unfocused political strategy, they might.
All three tycoons are the latest incarnation of what the historian Kim Phillips-Fein labeled “Invisible Hands” in her prescient 2009 book of that title: those corporate players who have financed the far right ever since the du Pont brothers spawned the American Liberty League in 1934 to bring down F.D.R. You can draw a straight line from the Liberty League’s crusade against the New Deal “socialism” of Social Security, the Securities and Exchange Commission and child labor laws to the John Birch Society-Barry Goldwater assault on J.F.K. and Medicare to the Koch-Murdoch-backed juggernaut against our “socialist” president.


All I can say is God Help America and save us from the rightwing, they will surely bring this country DOWN.
