Estimated 1.46 million now in DC

Half a million fill the DC mall for immigrant rights. Fred Klonsky's blog

So he was lying?

Color me surprised.

Every Democratic rally I've ever been to, everyone picked up their trash before leaving.. And left the place just as clean as before we got there.

Fair enough.... but they didnt on 10-2-2010 did they?

Yep, they did. Just because a video shows some trash strewn about, doesn't mean it wasn't picked up.
And I would put money on this vlogger planted that trash.

Most people carry garbage around to plant on the ground.

Younglefty must attend very different rallies than the ones I watched/came through after during the Bush years. Even the pro-rally city employees were disgusted with the trash, some of it pretty disgusting, left behind in all of them.

And it was THAT which prompted the Tea Partiers at least in our state to be meticulous about leaving no unnecessary extra work behind for others to clean up. And I think that has been pretty much the policy in all the states and in such events as "Restore Honor" which was not a Tea Party event but which emulated much of the same principles.

It's a policy? I thought it was merely common curtesy. I didn't have to be asked to not throw my garbage on the ground at 8/28. I wouldn't throw it on the ground period. It's not like I wasn't carrying a backpack full of food.

Why would you make someone else work when you can take two seconds to save them the time and effort?

I agree that you get a much different civic minded class of citizen at Tea Party rallies and so you have a crowd that is possibly more considerate of others and conscious of the significance of historical public places. But yes it was policy. We didn't make a big deal out of it other than to announce where the trash receptacles were and encourage people to use them. And we did check the area after the rally was over. There was little or nothing left behind to pick up.

Interesting....we have our resident neocon parrots and tea party wonks doing EVERYTHING to distort and discredit what the One Nation Rally was about by wailing about attendence size, refuse left behind, etc........people pushing to get behind their politicians to get on the stick about creating real JOBS in the near future, as well as civil rights and education issues.

Of course, our resident teabagging neocons only focus on the Socialists and Communists that attended the rally, while ignoring everyone else. Here's a more accurate list of who, what and why

It wasn't a PR stunt were some asshole starts acting like a evangelist preacher who's handlers tell the attendees NOT to bring their signs....there was a lie about what was the exact purpose of the gathering.

The Washington Post gives a fairly objective review

Tens of thousands attend progressive 'One Nation Working Together' rally in Washington

And this from C-Span

"One Nation" Rally - C-SPAN Video Library

Like it or not, you had a more quality rally than Beck's bullhorn and using the tea party like a PR prostitute.....the trick will be not to let One Nation die there, but to transfer that energy into real political activism for a prevention of the return of Reaganomics on steriods...aka the 2 terms of GW Bush....and the continuation of the PNAC agenda...of which Obama's foreign military policy is complying with. Time will tell.

The turn-out was tiny considering the massive number of liberal louts that infest our country. What happened... did rally attendance not pay enough??? Were they not appreciative enough of their government dole to even show up???

The only ones who have distorted the truth about this rally are those who started the rally. Anyone with any ammount of common sense knows that one nation main supporters are communist socialist and marxist.

Just look at the one nation web page and group supporters.

And another thing from their own words they are a liar
We are conservatives and moderates, progressives and liberals, non-believers and people of deep faith, united by escalating assaults on our reason, our environment, and our rights.

Stunner. High School Students Admit They’re Getting Class Credit to Attend Leftist One Nation Rally (Video)

High School kids are forced to attend the one Nation rally in order to graduate. SSL (Student Service Learning) hours are required by many state governments to graduate High School, so kids must attend these rally’s. Apparently, the organizers were willing to use any means to bring thousands to the rally.

Contract dispute,
They wanted to hire non labor protesters to stand in, but they were busy filing out false voter registration forms.

If the SSL requirements are balanced with reactionary loon Tea Party events, then going to One Nation Rally is not a problem. If any school is carrying out a political agenda, as many of our schools in the rural South do, then there are ways to deal with that.

I think the whole thing was about one upmanship.

Beck had a rally and got a good turn out so the left had to have a rally to try to upstage Becks. LOL

Of course the Unions ordered their members to go and bring their families and the NAACP provided free bus rides and lunchs to their folks to respond.

Who had the more meaningful rally?? I guess it will depend on your point of view. LOL

And this is it in a nutshell if one-upmanship is important to you. The Restore Honor rally really had no official sponsors and nothing more than announcing that people were gathering together to show respect for and a yearning for God, country, integrity, honor, and the best of American values and ideals.

Rangel can say that his MLK rally and the organizers of the One Nation rally can say their rally was not to compete with the Restore Honor Rally, but I think only the most gullible of the gullible can believe that.

The Restore Honor Rally was full of patriotic and inspiring music, oratory, and expressions of idealistic hope. Nobody was bashed or demeaned or diminished or put down and the enormous crowd was peaceful, respectful, picked up any trash, and went home feeling good.

The MLK Rally was full of victimization speeches and how "Whitey" is keeping the black man down and how there is no justice and how they will overcome. I'm sure those who attended left feeling as angry and that the world owes them a living as much as before.

The One Nation rally was full of whining and anger and derogatory comments and sniviling and contempt for anybody who didn't share that mindset along with demands for ever more authoritarian government to produce and enforce their view of society even as they represented most of the most radical anti-American leftwing groups in the country. After trashing the place in speech and literally, the comparatively smaller crowds almost certainly left as contemptuously as they arrived.

To me it is a no brainer which group is more appealing to the average American.

When people after every other sentence, must type LOL

Why do they do that? LOL

On 30 days of promotion, without the help of FreedomWorks and the Koch Brothers, and without a big name politician headliner, One Nation had just as many people as Beckpalooza. Don't believe the pictures being posted by conservatives online.. They were taken early in the rally.. A 5 hour event, and they compared it to one taken late in the day at Beck's.

Enthusiasm gap? What enthusiasm gap?

And when you have an event like "One Nation", you try to include everyone.. It was, after all, a rally about jobs. Conservatives, progressives, moderates.. They were all invited. Who gives a shit if a small band of "communist" partiers showed up.. It was about jobs. Not about party affiliation.

About the trash: When you have over 100,000 people in the mall, your gonna have trash. Period. Restoring Honor had trash too. And at least at One Nation, people tried to find trash cans, but they were mostly full, due to so many showing up.

The people that showed up were teachers, firefighters, police, janitors, and every other worker in America. This was about America.. Keeping it on the right track
