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.

Sue,
I tried sending you an email, but got the Mail Daemon--your mailbox has been disabled.
You know how to reach me. I've got some interesting news for you.
hello lisa,
Jesus Christ was a community organizer.
Oh my nothing like the righties getting all their big boy panties in a wad because them tree loving, librul eleetists might get more people to go to their march. Couple years ago I went to a peace march in DC got 150k maybe 200k, crickets from the media, but get Glennda up there doing snake sacrificing to the hoardes and he is the Messiah. Dude should have gone all in and had himself crucified that way he would be rising this week and could be the god he thinks he is. I'll wait for the obvious righty to slam my comment. But before you do, know I don't give a rat's fart. Kthx
@Lisa, was Jesus missing or something? I thought He lived within anyone who has faith in Him. Naughty naughty, that a godless atheist knows this and you don't. I might tell you to be ashamed of yourself, but I know you wouldn't know how to approach that.
lisa is adorable isn't she?
thanks girls but I'm deleting all lisa/Mal because she/he is a fraud. lisa shows up on my feedjit from Canada but when it's Mals turn it says NYC, where he claims to live.
I love the idea of a meeting in DC... In fact I would even consider driving out to it... I think that would be wonderful and it is just what the left needs to get people fired up again.
me too Annette, I would be there but my sister is getting married that day, damn her!! LOL
I think what the left needs to do is stop listening to the right! From Chris Von Hollen to Russ Feingold, the democrats are saying they will keep the House and they are fired up, I believe them!
Remember, the right has nothing to go on but fear and lies, so they must bolster their chances to keep their voters engaged. They are a dying party and no threat whatsoever...
Here's a good bit about it on DenocraticUnderground:

Have been by the Loon's blog a couple of times. Shit, they're a bunch of ugly morons.
thanks Leslie, I love that, sounds like alot of fired up citizens!
The loon is attracting lots of hateful followers, good for them to all stick together!
Her followers are the same nutjob. She/he/it is a lonely child that needs imaginary friends. She is a pitiful hman being.
Of course she/he is still an ignorant shithead also.
On to the topic: "The usual collection of union thugs, American-bashing leftists, black nationalists, LGBT activists, and other Progressive shit-lickers"....
My kind of people!
If Frank Rich were just as wound up about greedy bajillionaire George Soros, he might actually have some credibility.
I guess leftwing megalomaniacal currency manipulators are ok...
Personally I am waiting for Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" rally.
BTW, Sue, I had a righty anonymous comment a couple of posts back and yep, Lisa's IP address, which I wrote down months ago. She doesn't seem to know that sitemeter reveals this little bit of information. There ain't no anonymous, lisa.
You know, if you have broadband or any internet service involving a router hooked to cable or a phone line, you can command it to renew its IP address.
"All I can say is God Help America and save us from the rightwing, they will surely bring this country DOWN."
They've got a damned good start on it already
DUH and beth, you're just trolls out to start a fight and I don't need your comments thank you. Go bug someone else...
