Some People Gather For Socialist Rally In DC
by Big Dog on Oct 3, 2010 at 05:01 Political
The Socialists and the Communists and other backers of Obama and the Democrats decided to have a rally in DC to counter the very successful Restoring Honor Rally that Glenn Beck held on August 28th. This was heavily promoted by the Socialists, some teachers were able to attend because the unions paid part fo the cost and other union members were required to attend.
Even with required attendance and a plethora of Socialist organizations and unions (but I repeat myself) backing this rally it could not get attendance numbers anywhere close to what Beck brought in. The AP reports that there was a sparse crowd and that it was not as densely packed as the Restoring Honor crowd.
I don’t care how many people they drew or that they had a rally but after Restoring Honor Ed Schultz, one of the speakers at the Socialist Rally, claimed he could draw 300,000 easily. I don’t think his TV show gets that many viewers but he assured us he could draw that many for a rally.
It is highly doubtful he drew that many and this rally was supported by a number of Socialist organizations and labor unions (there I go again). Still, they could not do it.
How do we know? If this had been as huge a success as Beck’s rally the MSM would be trumpeting the numbers and proclaiming how great it was. We would have non stop coverage of the great masses and they would be telling us it is America speaking out.
Instead, the MSM reports it drew thousands and that it was not as densely packed. If it was anywhere near as many the MSM would inflate numbers and try to make people believe that more were there than actually were (like the Million Man March). Even with deflated numbers the MSM assigns to conservative rallies and the imaginary numbers it invents for liberal (Socialist) ones, the MSM could not invent enough people to show this did better than Restoring Honor.
I am sure Schultz will be on the air Monday telling us about the millions of people who attended but we all know that it will be a lie.
At least he gave some fringe moonbats a chance to take shots at conservatives. Too bad not very many were there to listen.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

One truly has to enjoy the “we had millions” attitude of the left. If you have eyes in your head, the overhead shots of both rallies tell the story.
Has anyone seen pictures of the aftermath of this rally, interested to see if it was a mess.
It was, unfortunately-
I think it’s typical of each side to inflate or deflate the attendance figures depending on the rally. I usually don’t care unless I think one side is completely ridiculous on how many they think they had such as with the rally a few months back that conservatives said drew a million when it was clear it was much smaller than that. It was a very respectable crowd and it didn’t need to be inflated.
