The speeches that day, on both sides, were filled with dangerous undertones and rip tides for undercurrents.

I'm not a fan of Beck, I wasn't there, and I didn't even bother to watch it, so I can't comment on your perceptions. But Yahoo News reports...

the event largely kept free of overt political references, as Beck (a longtime scourge of the Obama White House) had pledged it would. It stressed religious themes, together with celebrations of noncontroversial virtues such as charity and national service.

If that's a fair assessment, it's a far cry from what a lot people were predicting and what some appear to think anyway. And while it can be argued that the operative word there is "overt," I'm not a fan of mind-readers either.

I'm looking at it as objectively as possible.

But dems were there protesting at an event for fallen soldiers. That is not spin.

I didn't know until Lucy posted the collage of best anti pics at the rally.



I looked at the same picture, and I am a pretty observant fellow, mr quintessential objectivity, and by god, how did you glean that these folks were democrats? Cuz I looked and nothing stapled to their foreheads or nothing,  and not one of those signs made disparaging remarks about our fallen soldiers, so there is no causal linkage there where you impute one...........

I'm havin' some trouble with the objectivity thingie........

Waltz me thru it again, tho.

Alveda King didn't appear to have felt slapped in the face.

But I suppose a professor a 1000 miles away knows better.

You're digging for crumbs taz.



Im not digging for anything. I could have cared less then, and could care even less now, how this is all viewed.

What i did speak out about was how a poster in the UK, having seen clips of the rally on TV there, may have gotten the impression it was an all white gathering based upon what he was shown... though im sure you will find some way to spin that as well.

The NRA is a big political lobbying group. Beck and Palin have done nothing but bash Obama from the beginning.... and you really believe this wasnt political. I do love your rose colored glasses.

As far as Alveda King... its in her "genes".


Then apparently, a good portion of America is missing something in their genes.

I have no rose colored glasses. I don't listen to Glen Beck. I'm looking at it as objectively as possible.

What I don';t have is piss colored glasses that I use to view anything conservative.

As far as spin goes, I'm laughing watching you folks go into tornadic depression trying to find some bitching point where you can toss one of your cards into the mix. And when it comes to what I believe and don't believe, what I believe is that it just sucks ass for the left that they stuck to topic and did what they said they were going to do.

But dems were there protesting at an event for fallen soldiers. That is not spin.

I didn't know until Lucy posted the collage of best anti pics at the rally.



I dont need to find a pissing point... lol you do assume an awful lot about people. And to consider some of my leanings as not having a conservative bent is.. ahem... again naive upon your part. get to know a poster before making such broad accusations that are easily refuted with the simple search feature on CM.

i never once said anything spoken IN the rally was political. I said the whole event was political. To believe that rally was held for anything beyond that is sticking your head in the sand.

You are correct. I don't search out entire histories when responding to posts, just those that are stuck in recent memory.

Kind of like how I find wandering through history to find reason to either attack, denigrate, or defend actions of people today a useless distraction. Yeah, I go there sometimes but mostly because I'm dragged there by someone insisting today's violence is defensible by something that happened a millennium ago.

I guess that's another matter of perception, eh?

Now, you may want to see what you want to see on the surface. But, in reality, you and i both know politics is rarely about whats on the surface and is more about the undercurrents. The speeches that day, on both sides, were filled with dangerous undertones and rip tides for undercurrents.

This rally is the funniest thing I've heard of in a long long time. I saw a clip of it on the BBC news channel yesterday and it was curious to note that the audience was literally 100% white and all of a certain age, whilst glenn beck said nothing in particular about a vague nonspecific goal that the rally was for.
incidentally the 2nd funniest thing I've heard in a long time is the previous page on this thread where someone can't work out why she should pay school taxes.


I just looked at some photos from it and surprise, surprise there were people of color pictured. Maybe you should take your tv in and have it checked out. Then you won't look like a liar when you post.



Every single media source has described the event as nearly all white, from CBS to ABC to the Associated Press.  Even bloggers who attended.

But I'm sure it's just that evil liberal media showing its bias once again.


Maybe you should look at some photos from each event so you can form your own opinion rather than rely on someone else's opinion.

But I'm sure you're not interested in the facts/truth.

Sorry try again.  IN ALL OF THE PICTURES I've seen, if you just look over them the audience appears all white.  To find anyone who is not you must stop and really look over the picture.

The dance requires going beyond the pictures.  The news media made little effort to distinguish who was who. There's not much out there but what is, is tied to liberal and/or democratic efforts. And that's mostly from blogs, not from media stories.

Isn't it touching how everyone is coming out to explain why he lied about the 100%. If sanity or someone else on the right had made a claim like that, you would just call him a liar and moved on.

I guess that's better than admitting there really wasn't much about the rally that can be used as ammo against those bastards on the right.

edited to add: No you wouldn't call him a liar and move on, you would call him a liar and then bring it up again in every thread you see him post on.

That's the real deal. Wasn't anything here that left leaning folk could latch on to and scream about. It was what it was. Even most of the blogs I read from both dem and rep talked about how folks were friendly and politics was avoided.

Which blogs, StrangerThan?


Honestly joe, I didn't keep links. Interesting stuff though.

I found where a couple of tea baggers threw a sandwich in a servers face over a bag tax. Not sure what that is.

I found where one demonstrator had his sign stolen from him. There's a quick video clip of it. Again, didn't keep the link.

There was an interview of one woman carrying a protest sign and wearing an Obama shirt.

Another blog from a woman who wasn;t toting a sign but decided to have her own protest and talked about this being why the democratic party should be worried and questioning if this many of the base would show for an event.

Another blog from a pair of self-professed liberal types who intended to crash the party and ended up talking about how nice everyone was.

One of the signs was identified as coming from the other 98%. No idea who that is.

A blog post from, I reckon a conservative, who wasn't happy that he took his sign and the folks at the rally, not organizer folk, but attending folk, stayed on his ass about it.

Lots of talk, no real issues, and despite the fact that several seemed to be there specifically looking for issues, had none to report.

Which I think was probably discussed in great detail in planner war room meetings as in, give them nothing to do but gnash their teeth and keep it to what we say we will do.

This is coming from memory, so don';t sue me if I have a word wrong here or there.

According to the Hatchet, a newspaper at a city college named unimaginatively after a U.S. president:

Though the rally was a mostly peaceful gathering, two rally attendees got into a heated argument with an employee at the GW Deli over the D.C. bag tax, which ultimately resulted in one of the tea party members throwing a sandwich in the deli employee’s face.

Take that, poor college student suffering through a minimum-wage deli job serving Teabaggers their daily bologna!

About The GW Hatchet
The GW Hatchet is an editorially and financially independent student newspaper serving The George Washington University community in downtown Washington, D.C. First published Oct. 5, 1904, it is the second oldest continuously published newspaper in the District, after The Washington Post.

The Society of Professional Journalists named The Hatchet the best non-daily student newspaper in the nation in 2003 and 2007. The Hatchet is also a winner of the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award, in 2005 and 2008, and Online Pacemaker, in 2006 and 2008. Multiple Hatchet alumni have won Pulitzer Prizes.

The newspaper is produced by Hatchet Publications, Inc., an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It is headquartered in a townhouse at 2140 G St. N.W. in the heart of Foggy Bottom.


I dont see any affiliation with it being liberal or democratic.

The rest i can find no sources for... no blogs. Every pc has a history... but of course, someone shouldnt have to prove anything he or she says... just make... errr.. remember it as you read it and keep right on going.

About the bag tax that many cities are implementing, including my own depending on the store you shop in....

quote:

The District's user fee on plastic and paper bags at stores that sell food and/or alcohol went into effect New Year's Day and is one of the toughest such measures in the country.

Lawmakers hope the tax will make the nation's capital more green-friendly and help the environment, with proceeds going to fund the cleanup of the Anacostia River. They estimate it will produce about $3.6 million in revenue in the first year, an amount that might decline as awareness grows and people get used to bringing reusable bags when they go shopping.


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/01/AR2010010101673.html

Talk about rude tea baggers.
