The “One Nation” Rally – Less People, More Hatred & Lots Of Trash

Loading

Lots of hilarious number fudging by the liberals since yesterday’s “one nation” rally with the nutcase Ed Schultz in charge. They really really hoped for a large turnout:

Noting that they began planning their rally in April, organizers said they were not responding to a march organized by Glenn Beck, which drew enormous crowds to the front of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28. But they acknowledged that their hope was to draw an even larger crowd to Saturday’s event.

Buuuuuut, things didn’t turn out so well:


(Check out Verum Serum for a animated picture contrasting the two pictures)

Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck’s rally. But Saturday’s crowds were less dense and didn’t reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck’s rally.

And:

The 4-hour event organized by civil rights groups and labor unions was a counterweight, albeit a smaller one, to the recent rally of conservatives organized by TV commentator Glenn Beck.

This kind of evidence didn’t matter to the wackjobs at Crooks and Liars tho who proclaimed there were “more supporters than Glenn Beck’s much ballyhooed rally.”

And while the AP and UPI were honest in there reporting of size, MSNBC was not. They edited out portions of an AP article that proved the rally was weak and small. Compare the original AP report and the version of that same report MSNBC decided to edit. (h/t Confederate Yankee)

Even though the unions did everything they could to get people out to this pathetic rally, they still didn’t come. And those that did trashed the place.

Moonbattery has a good video from the scene of the rally:

And Looking At The Left has a great pictorial post.

I guess you can ignore the email I sent you a few minutes ago. 🙂

But, but, there WERE 200,000 people! They are INVISIBLE in the photographs because they are the unwashed masses and proletariats! In theory they are there!

The Democrats are adept at getting non-people to vote in elections; getting them to a rally should be easy.

Democrates, weak, small, and hateful … Liars cheats and crooks works also.

@Skookum:

I wonder how many ballots these misfits will be allowed to cast in November. Hmmm, boxed lunches and a t-shirt passed out prior to the rally and boxed ballots passed out during the ride home…..to be wrapped, of course, in the t-shirt, discretion is the better part of valor. 😉

There is nothing surprising about more trash, that’s the calling card of the left. If it isn’t physcial trash it’s oral trash, but trash none the less. In this case it was tons of both.

The commies got their attendance numbers by adding all the dead who normally vote at election time.

May we draw sustenance and conviction from the lack of honor and integrity displayed by the opposition; let none among us doubt the direction, importance, or righteousness of our mission; for their actions only serve to give us resolve to continue the fight with honor and integrity.

Skookum – What those pictures are telling us is that it may be time to cull the heard.

It’s encouraging to see what 400 liberal organizations working together were able to accomplish. May their “get out the vote” effort be equally effective.

This was a union-driven event and it flopped.

Actually, I have been quite heartened by things I hear about unions lately.

Like, for instance, many union members are so lazy that, when there is a strike, they just hire scabs to walk the picket lines for them.

Or, that, even with free bus rides, free lunches and a free t-shirt, this rally looked so poorly attended.

But this last one took the cake!
Today the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers announced they will start hiring cheaper workers to do most electrical work.
Their own Journeymen Union men and women are priced too high!
These new 2nd-class union members will be paid 40% less than their old Journeymen pay!

What is this world coming to?

gee guys I did see some other pictures that showed more. The sun shadows make it look like 9:00 in the morning Curt you should have photo shopped them to make it look like it was really 3:00 in the afternoon

@John ryan:

Really?

Where are they?

Links please.

The sun shadows make it look like 9:00 in the morning

Well, you can add the four points of the compass, DC geography, the orbit of the earth, and the direction of shadows cast by trees to the long list of things that you know nothing about.

For those who are interested in another viewpoint of the crowd at 3:00pm EST, here is a screen shot from CSPAN video of the event.

(Note, the time is 12:09pm PST which would be 3:09pm EST.)

Grass is clearly visible on both sides of the reflecting pool.

Also, notice the shadows along the right side of the reflecting pool. They are in the same position as they are in the photographs.

No doubt that the crowds were light at this 1/2 rally.

I am waiting for Greg to chime in with his words of wisdom on this one.

John Ryan, you don’t have to rely on shadows or guesswork of any kind to know when the picture was taken. It was between 12:53 and 12:59 PM.

Jim Treacher at The Daily Caller found who took the original overhead picture from the Commie Rally. His name is Nico Pitney. He is a senior editor at the Huffington Post. His Flicker profile is here:

His photostream from the event, some of which was posted on Huffpo, (including the pic in question), is here:

This is important because the lefties like you are saying that the overhead pic was taken early or late when there were fewer people. That’s a lie however. If you look at the original full size pic on Flicker you can clearly see the Jumbotrons and the woman who is speaking at the time the photo was taken:

I’t’s huge, so I won’t put it up here but you can look at it on the link. The important part is here. (it’s much clearer in the original image):

The woman speaking is here:
http://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/rallycspan.jpg

According to the time stamp, (12:54PM), and if you look at the footage of the rally at the C-SPAN site, you can see that this woman spoke from 12:53-12:59:

In other words, the photo was taken at the height of the rally, and the proof was kindly provided by the Huffington Post.

End of story…

For the moonbats proof of the dismal turnout will fall on braindead eyes. They want the truth to be that crazy Ed had more people at his rally. Therefore nothing you do will convince them otherwise.

It does help those trying to learn the truth.

John Ryan, your real name must be Just Retarded. As for Curt needing to photoshop, we leave that to your kind. We don’t have to lie since we have actual proof and facts on our side as demonstrated.

Wardogs take no prisoners!
