Click on the screenshot image to see the NBC report on the Washington D.C. Tea Party. I want to feature this one for two reasons. One, I have paused it at the .52 second point to show the image of the crowd moving past a flag at half mast — an image similiar to one that Michelle Malkin had up via a traffic cam (I took my own screenshot) that had hysterical Leftcultists accusing Malkin of “fakery”.
Second, unlike ABC, this report actually features the Tea Party instead of using it as a segue to cover Obama’s [much much smaller] healthcare “rally”.
@.35 Tom Costello: “Park Police estimate the crowd at tens of thousands, our own people think hundreds of thousands of people were here to have a voice, or to express their voice to Capitol Hill. So many people that DC police had to close down Pennsylvania Avenue to accomodate everybody making their way to the national mall. Their message: No to runaway government and No to government healthcare.”
The report makes it clear that this was a coalition of groups, a cross-section of America and, truly, grassroots.
Somewhere, Nancy Pelosi is dialing for more botox.

The Washington DC Tea Party wasn’t the only rally yesterday. Donald Douglas of American Power reports from Los Angeles – in front of the Federal Building on West Wilshire.

I was there. I was in the crowd all the way down Pennsylvania Avenue. I saw the flag at half-staff. There were so many people that we were unable to get close enough to see the speakers at the Capitol steps, and still the crowd stretched back all the way to Freedom Plaza, over a mile.
Maybe there weren’t a million people there, but there were certainly several hundred thousand.
Comment by Joe on 9/13 @ 1:54 pm #
I am no expert on crowd estimating, but that was no football game. Unless my eyes are lying, that is a completely different magnitude of crowd. I would go with a million, give or take a couple of hundred thousand.
Robert Stacy McCain said the crowd was metered (early on) at almost 500,000, so guessing a million is not that crazy.

Mail Online: Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama’s spending in ‘tea-party’ demonstration
With An Important Qualifier
The question isn’t if 2010 will bring the third American Revolution since the seventies. It’s if — as always — the damn Republicans will do something meaningful with it. Like term limits, anti-lobby legislation, and sunsetting half the laws in the place. With that as a framework, government monopolies on everything from “education” to myriad interferences in the private sector could actually occur.

This may be a distinction without a difference, but that was an NBC Nightly News piece that resides online at the MSNBC site, as there is no NBC News site.
Still, holy shit on both counts, NBC and the size of that crowd. I was at the Million Moonbat March in Sept ‘06, and this looks significantly larger that that one. Also, that one had a significant counter-protest contingent that this one doesn’t seem to have. Damn.

So when they resort to the worst behavior we’ve seen in some time, it’s because of the fear…That, and their heralds at the NYT have basically said the public option is finished, as well as essentially the Obamacare bill as written in the House of Representatives…

My only concern is that Obama, being the ultimate narcissist that he is, simply can’t accept failure, and decides to go for broke with the so-called “reconciliation” option. Ramming ObamaCare down our throats with his fist would seal his reputation as a Marxist, but I doubt that he really cares about that, since he knows it already.
So I expect that he is actively considering just that right now.

So true JeffS.,
But you make a good point; Obama will try to use the nuclear option on this bill, to ram it down the country’s throat; after all, he won!
But I predict if that is his course, he’ll have a lot tougher time selling the moderates and Blu Dogs on joining him in that action. After all, they’ll have to face the test of re-election in 2010, while he’ll have the luxury of another 2 years…
And, perhaps more importantly, between Obamacare, the coming cap-n-tax furfight, the high level of unemployment that his man Larry Summers warned we would suffer for the next few years, continued high defecit spending, and the inevitable coming tax hike, let’s just say that people’s memories may not be a short as Obama and the liberal Democrats would like to believe…

How can you expect a group of people who are proven science deniers, less educated and predominantly white, religious and southern to understand that this country is headed for disaster if the health care system is not reformed? They fear change. Conservatism by it’s very nature is REGRESSIVE - you know the opposite of progressive (as in forward thinking). This is the level we’re dealing with here… most of these idiots think the president is an illegal alien Kenyon muslim.
I’m thinking you don’t really know what meaning is attached to the word “progressive.” Not surprised.

Theas you lie almost as good as your boy Obama,
But what is this about Nazi signs? Were you flashing back to a Berkley BusHitler rally or something? Because that’s the only place that swastika’s were on parade, save for Pelosi’s mind…
And what is this “fascist conservatism” clap trap? To start, nazi’s were SOCIALISTS; read a histiry book occasionally. And if anyone is fascist, well, hello-it’s your boy Obama again. He’s the pnly one nationalizing banks, the auto industry, and who desires the same for the energy and health care sectors of the economy…
And science deniers? I don’t think so, especially here at PW; I personally hold a graduate degree in aerospace engineering-and not the slacking modern version, mine is in both aeronautics and astronautics. I think that you would find many here who are highly educated, thoughtful individuals. The same is true throughout the groups that oppose the collectivization of our nation. Indeed, many of those folks have a much better grasp on history and the intent of the founders of our nation that you breathless lefty mouth-breathers ever will…
I’m surprised at the rest of your stereotypes Theas; especially coming from an enlightened member of the party of multi-culturalism and tolerance. So you can tolerate the Jeremiah Wrights and Louis Farrakhans of the nation, just not provincial southerners, eh? Muslims who want to reduce you to dhimmitude are fine folks, but the eeeevoll Christians are intolerable…
And the fear thing? You have got to be kidding me. I reming you that Obama too warned of fear mongering on Wednesday; right before he went on to warn that a lot more people would die and go bankrupt and the economy crippled for years if his phony-baloney health care legislation was not passed immediately. Now I don’t know about you, but arguing against something just prior to invoking that which you decry is not too effective a strategy with thinking people…
Oh, and Mr. elite intellect, consevatism is conservatory, not regressive; try and at least be able to get definitions right when mounting your prejudicial and specious arguments…
Talking points don’t work here son, people here tend to use their heads. And spare more your moral authority based on race; my ancestry is one of the trump suits in your identity politics deck, so that argument bites the dust too.
Less talking points, more reason, less stereotypes; be classically disinterested and not ideologically invested. Because the arguments should revolve around the good of our nation and progeny, and not what is expedient for Obama, the socialists, or even you…

So far, the only people he’s “helped” have been car companies, banks, and insurance companies. Yeah, that’s “helping” the little guy, all right.

Great post. Sums up the situation quite well, I think. However, when it is now shown in surveys that Republicans are “less educated and predominantly white, religious and southern” as you note, I fear you cast pearls before swine. Trying to reason with them is, as Barney Frank noted, like “arguing with a kitchen table”. They cannot match either wits or logical arguments with the Left, so they do Junior High School level things such as putting square mustaches on Obama or Painting him as the Joker, or going into self-indulgent disruptive tirades at town halls. Then Joe Wilson blames his racist outburst on a “Town Hall Moment” as if it were some kind of normal thing to do because Re-thugs the country over have been doing it and thinking they are winning some kind of argument. Pathetic and sad actually. Unfortunately, stupidity can’t be cured.

Progressives are only interested in progressing their political power; and certainly could give a fig about individualism and personal liberty…
Socialism/communism are systems where the rights of individuals are bestowed on them by the benevolently tyrranical government. In contrast, our democratic republic specifies limit’s on the power of government in order to preserve personal liberty as much as possible…
Progressives are only interested in increasing the power of the state over the individual; not recognizing that the government recieves it’s limited authority from the people themselves…
You all use the term progressive revealed it’s statist, collectivist, ideology in the 60’s and 70’s; an ideology antithetical to classic American values. They’ve tried to morph into “progressives” in order to hide their well known intent from the people. But that jig is up, people are getting wise to it. The folks see “progressives” for the statist, anti-liberty types that they are, and that’s why so many gathered in DC this past Saturday to protest the direction that Obama and the progressives have taken, and want to take, this country in…

Theas,
Your “Think Progress” link is of dubious factual value, as I wouldn’t put them past photoshopping or staging photos to suit their narrative.. And even if they could be trusted as legitimate, you once again have demonstrated questionable intellect since there were no nazi references in any of their pictures anyway…
And did you actually read the Gallup link you posted? I think not, because aside from the widely varying and conflicting survey’s outlined, the results were actually split 50-50. And can easily be explained by devout fundamentalist religious people being sampled in the poll…
Once again, you mult-culti types embrace and celebrate all religions, whether legitimate or simply Shirley MacLain cult like groups, but have complete intolerance of Christians-even though Catholics and Evangelics account for most of Obama’s margin of victory in 2008!
You hardly own me, son. You couldn’t even aford to rent me…
Comment by Abe Froman on 9/13 @ 7:05 pm #
Theas kind of reminds me of william yelverton in that he continually throws out stats that don’t mean what they think they mean. He’s kind of a dummy like that.
He seems to labor under the impression that all people in blue states vote Democrat and all people in red states vote Republican. And he’s not smart enough to deduce from this evolution poll that it was posed as a “big band” vs. “Creationism” question which is a far more complicated matter than simply being anti-science. But the guy is just working offthe narrative he was given so what can you expect?

Wherein, it posits the following:
“Tom Davis, a former Republican Congressman from Virginia, explained how “the politics of culture has wounded the GOP’s mass appeal” in the recent years:
Politics has been defined by culture over the last few cycles, and we’ve become a rural party and a Southern party. We’ve been losing inner suburbs and the like. A lot of this was the policies of the Bush administration.
He also said that, in most cases, people with higher education vote for Democrats, while the less educated vote Republican:
The high education areas Obama carried – 78 of the 100 counties with the highest education. McCain carried 88 of the 100 counties with the lowest education.”

Some actual data, with source and link to the data anlysis tools.
We see that among those with less than high school educations, 58.5% are Dem or leaning Dem, 25.7% are Rep or leaning Rep (the remainder being confirmed independent or third party). Among those holding bachelor’s degrees, 42.9% are Dem or leaning Dem, 46% are Rep or leaning Rep.
Just as I said.
Of course, the data and data analysis tools are from that noted hotbed of right-wing extremism, UC-Berkeley, so take it for what it’s worth.

You see, unlike all of the other Presidents of the modern era, at least since the late 20th century, he doesn’t seem to have to release the details of his college history, nor the details of his work and personal histories…
That’s why it;s OK to speculate that he hokey-doked scholarships as a foreign born student, played the race card on college applications, and suffered abysmal grades…
And Abe is right, had he enjoyed stellar academics at Columbia, as a black man in NYC he would have had a muuuuuuuuch nicer entry level job…
And the Harvard Law review has admitted as much that he was selected based on Charisma and race…
I’m wrong? Show me specific grades and coursework details of his college career…
You can, because he won’t; becuase he has something to hide…

“once again the freak stalker ip address stealing morans have fuhrer bush to thank for college costs have risen by over 60 percent …”
Um, krystalx, what was it you said earlier about nazi references…
Do you know what has really driven college tuition costs? How about the great surplus of money available in grants, scholarships, and government sponsored loans. Just as the deluge of money directed by CRA from Fannie/Freddie helped inflate the housing bubble, so too has the amount of public money thrown into the system fueled the cost of higher education…
Just as the government pays maore than private sector organizations for just about anything, so too have they paid more to educate poor, minority, and gender preferred students. Oh and guess what happens when a large state school’s coffers run dry? Surprise!, the government bails them out of the hole…
I guess you didn’t have to study any economics as an undergrad or as prerequisite to taking a JD…

Of course you are. You are a base rethuglican moran whose attention only spans the length of the dreaded time slot allotted for Beck. I’m just getting started mullet..For the first six years of the Bush Administration — when Congress was under Republican control — the President did not follow through on his six-year-old campaign promise to increase the maximum Pell Grant congress had an opportunity to address the rising cost of attending college by reducing excessive subsidies going to student loan lenders and using those savings to substantially increase need-based aid to all students eligible for Pell Grants. But Rethuglicans have other priorities: cutting $12 billion from the student loan program and using it to pay for tax breaks that primarily benefit the wealthy. Only a very small amount of additional savings from the budget reconciliation bill went to student aid, and only a small subset of Pell-eligible students are eligible for this additional aid. Which sucks for you because you voted your chances at not remaining a fuck-witted repub imbecile right out the window..

I mean, what might piss off budget-minded Democrats more than removing a budget item with the words “Robert Byrd” planted on it?
Meanwhile, the DOE says this: “President Bush requests $54.4 billion in discretionary appropriations for the Department of Education in fiscal year 2007, a decrease of $3.1 billion, or 5.5 percent, from the 2006 level. Much of the decrease is based on a 2006 funding level inflated by one-time costs for Hurricane Katrina relief. Even with the proposed reduction, discretionary appropriations for education would be up more than $12 billion, or 29 percent, since fiscal year 2001.”
I leave that unlinked, for your Googling pleasure.

WTF! Underfunded Po’ Child Left Behind and Title I. The Po’ Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was supposed to provide a substantial increase in federal funding to go along with its accountability requirements. But the Bush Administration and Republican-controlled Congress failed to fund fully NCLB programs. Each year, the gap between the authorized and appropriated levels had grown wider. At the levels proposed in the President’s Fiscal Year 2009 Budget, NCLB programs would be underfunded by a cumulative total of over $85 billion. American public education is the backbone of our democracy wheteher your pappy learned you that or not is deceptive in social and economic ways as well. Needs to be abolished. Like the Republican Party.

I’m not much of a blogger, but I felt compelled to respond to some of the more virulent comments being posted this evening. Much seems to be made of the fact that one side or the other has more college graduates. I have a Master’s degree (albeit in English) and I teach both high school and college students. My husband and I have a farm and we live in Texas. We don’t attend church, but are tolerant of those that do. We are also Republicans. Do we agree with everything the party does? No. However, as a voracious reader and fan of the Constitution, I am concerned with the direction this country is taking. I am also concerned about the tenor of the debate. The level of venom is quite frightening (on both sides). I spend my days trying to teach my students the fine art of debate, rhetoric, and how to avoid fallacious argumentation. I would enjoy seeing the level of discourse ramped up a notch to thoughtful debate rather than who can call whom the most horrible name.

If you actually read much of the comments through the numerous threads you will be hard pressed to find a more intelligent group of commenters willing to engage in debate.
However, trolls are for thumping because the Left rarely argues or debates in good faith. As you can see, the Left doesn’t consider heretics and apostates of its dogma as worthy of any consideration. For the non-left, those that disagree are mistaken. For the Left, those that disagree are evil.

Comment by JeffS on 9/13 @ 10:46 pm #
#260, whatshisname:
Ironically, health care reform is critical to deficit reduction.
Ironically, Obama and the Democratic Congress has yet to offer a health care reform plan that doesn’t add to the deficit. All of the “savings” come from accounting tricks, shuffling Medicare funds around, and arbitrarily declaring benefits where there be none (e.g., the preventative medicine ponzi scheme). The CBO says so, as do a lot of other economists, doctors, and other professionals.
You know, they want people to be polite; they want people to listen to each other.
Equally ironically, Obama and his minions have pretty much refused to listen to other ideas.
David Axelrod, for example, brushed off a decent suggestion for improving health insurance, apparently because it widened competition without the public option (i.e., government controls).
President Obama hasn’t meet with GOP leaders to discuss health care reform since April. Specifically:
“Earlier this year, GOP leaders sent a letter to the president in May stating that they would like to work with the administration to find “common ground” on healthcare reform.
But the administration responded with a tersely worded letter indicating that they had healthcare reform under control.”
So all the Prezshizzle did tonight was what he did last Wednesday: offer the same empty talking points he has been offering all along. No change in his position. And no new plan, either.
Some “listening”, dude. Pretty much what he and the other Dhimmicrats have been doing all along. Their definition of “teamwork” is “I’ll tell you what to do, and you’ll do it!”
That doesn’t work in a free society. Maybe in Chicago, but this ain’t Chicago, it’s America.

BTW – Jonah Goldberg dropped a bombshell — more ACORN videos on the way.

Got a link? I’m not familiar with him and couldn’t find it.

He writes for National Review, General, and is the author of Liberal Fascism.
Here’s a link.

Here’s the AP story in The New York Times (via the web briefing) on the Census Bureau’s decision to drop its association with ACORN. The story doesn’t mention the prostitution videos from last week (and more are coming). How does a reporter and/or editor do that? Read the whole thing, the silences are staggering. It’s Pravdaesque.

Nice to see that Obama’s keeping at least one promise (i.e., missiling the fuck out of Pocky-stawwwwwwwwwwn).
But wait, I thought the War on Terror was over? I figured that Obama and Osama would be singing Kumbaya on a special edition of Sesame Street or somethin’. What happened?

Translation – The Right continues its attacks on meaningless targets.
Yeah right. Meaningless. And a couple of people with a video camera had to work really, really hard to bring this out didn’t they? What a misallocation of winger resources.

What a misallocation of winger resources.
Depends on whether you guys still want to win elections or not, Abe.
The tape would have had an impact next November…you remember Mark Foley, don’t you?
The ACORN story is a snoozer this far from the next election.

HAHAHAHAHA. Um yeah. Dismantling a criminal enterprise thats chief contribution is voter fraud with taxpayer dollars to the tune of millions is a snoozer alright.

Whoa. The trifecta of violent left wing idiocy. It’s cute when they think they can talk economics.

I’m vastly impressed with the mad legal skillz of our trolls, who keep claiming that BOOOOSSSSHHHH! passed all this legislation without realizing that the Congress, controlled by Democrats since 2006, and NEVER controlled by Republicans with the majority that O! commands, had to be the ones who actually wrote and passed the legislation.
Then of course there’s this chart, showing that Bush was bringing down the deficits despite having to fight the WOT Clinton left him until Copperheads took over the Congress and control of the bill-writing process.

Yes, it’s always a hoot when someone faceplants while correcting already-correct grammar, after having already compiled a trainwreck of screwed up contractions and possessives.
The tweaker has probably not gotten a JC degree yet. Not that there’s anything wrong with our local institutions preparing the unwashed for higher education, but it’s just an occasional step on the way to a JD, for those who slacked in high school. Chin up, krystalx, only a few more years and some large state university will, undoubtedly, gladly take you in undergraduate studies.
Our friend the Internet Lawyer couldn’t produce a coherent article if it sank all four canines into his ass. He’s not worth getting annoyed over.

Coming from someone who has performed the intellectual equivalent of a profession of faith in the validity of epicycles, that smarts not even a little bit.
Next, we’ll be hearing the political equivalent of geosynclines and ether wind, and it’ll still be laughworthy.

Be nice, Slarti ;-)
FWIW, if that clit-kicker has a JD, I am a Democrat.

I wouldn’t put too much faith in a Juris Doctor as cred….cripes, they damn near give the things away. Hell, I even picked one up. I’ve even posted my Illinois Bar number here when dealing with prior trolls. Now, who would/should care? I think more of the CGSOC education I have had…

The third picture down includes pictures of George Bush and Dick Cheney with swastikas. Those are as likely to be LaRouche Democrats as Right Wing Fanatics.
Right Wing Fanatics like Hitler, remember?

That’s all he’s got out of 1.5 million people? Pretty tame. But hey. If you dems think you can do better, have at it. And don’t forget those zany giant paper mache’ heads. And the women with beards. Don’t forget to bring them too.

At a Lefty rally, you’d have found more than a dozen naked people carrying signs portraying the President as Hitler. On the same corner, even.

[...] I think not, because aside from the widely varying and conflicting survey’s outlined, the results were actually split 50-50. And can easily be explained by devout fundamentalist religious people being sampled in the poll… …… There are ample shiteous law schools out there that admit almost anyone and prepare them for the bar exam from day one rather than actually teaching.
