Massive Obama-Backed “One Nation” Rally...

[saveliberty]

So...the rally was really about Guatemalans with STDs from the 1940s. No wonder turnout was so light. Hey guys, Sailor got this one all fixed up for us. WTF?

Didn't Guatemalans have The Clap before 1940?

Some debate about that. Seems like they could clap twice and turn it off. Clap again and it was back on.

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.

Jake your a fool if you think this isn't done in any public school system even up north. After all a large portion of teachers are liberal.

Hmmmmm, wonder why......

What it really looked like....

Again, that picture was taken way early in a 5 hour event. Nice try though. Pathetic you righties have gotta use fake video, and pictures from early on to cover up the fact REAL AMERICANS fighting for change got just as many people in 30 days as you guys did in 8 mos.

Why do you and others from the left continue to lie N.Y. Times has the true stroy when this evenmt was being plan I say April is more than 30 days. And the groupos there were professionals at getting rally's going.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

I think the Liberal rally had the hottest chicks.

You don't set your standars up very high do you?

True. Capitalism is not in the Constitution.

Capitalism is the natural law of economics. It's what happens when the government isn't controlling the economy. In a free society, it's what will naturally happen.

I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand for some people.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Real America is rising up. We all know how good you extreme rwn are at screwing up an election..

No, it is the idiot left that screws up elections. Look at franken in minn. where how many counties had more votes than registered voters? Typical ballot box stuffing from the left to steal an election!!!!

This is a lie.

Don't believe everything you read on Conservative blogs.

So you have some information to share other than your opinion? A factual link

The crowd got thinner as the day *ahem* progressed and they ran out of free lunches.

word

I'm sorry your mad because Eddie told the fucking truth! And it was One Nation.
The crowd was diverse, the speakers were diverse.. Hell, I'll be willing to bet there were a few disgruntled republicans in the crowd.
The bottom line: The Tea Party isn't your grandpa's republican party.. So we, as One Nation, need to stand up to the Tea Party, and up for the republican party of old, who didn't always agree with us, but found ways to forge common ground. We need to stand against "NO WE CAN'T", and for, "YES WE CAN!"

Do you have any idea who the one nation people are? I suggest that if those are your people move to russia. America doesn't want you here.

Except it won't be free, because they will call them and demand a vote for a Democrat.

ya know, if what he said was true, then he should find some photos from later in the day

 

[bigrebnc1775]

I have tracked the links carefully. The One Nation drew about a 1/3rd of what Beck did with far less planning and effort. The crowd was diverse, young, darker in color, and looking forward to the future. I don't care that you don't like the fact that is the future. But that is exactly what it is. Either we in the GOP figure how to harness the force of the future, or we are going to let the corporations rule our lives.

This is the real world not some place in your little mind here in the real world Becks rally had more people. Now you can do two thing stand in the corner hold your breath and stamp your feet until we start to belive yu. Or you can join us in the real word and face the facts.
I suggeat stay in your corner because no one is going to believe your lie.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Photo-shopped pictures. OK. Typical of the far right loons. Here's one for you mainstream Americans. Who said, "Starkey you are a lying ******. You are a worthless piece of shit. Which after all that is what a ****** is a lazy good for nothing trashy piece of shit, no matter what their race maybe ******* are scum and that would be you starkey. White black red Brown yellow. Skin color matters not with what a ****** is but their character does, and yours is that of a ******." Yepper, you are all true Americans.

From Ed Schultz's speech at the One Nation Rally (emphasis mine):

ED SCHULTZ: Hello Americans. One nation. We are together. This march is about the power to the people. It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back? Are you ready to stand up for your brother and sister? This is a defining moment in America. Are you Americans? Are you Americans? Do you love America? It is time. It is a defining moment for this country. For us to look into our heart and our soul, to really find out who we are as a people, as a country, as a family. The conservative voices of America, they are holding you down. They don't believe in your freedom. They want the concentration of wealth. They've shipped your job overseas.

To our brothers and sisters who have fallen on hard times in this economic world, we stand with you today as one nation. To our brothers and sisters who have seen their jobs go overseas, we will not let it happen. We will fight back as one nation. To our brothers and sisters who have been discriminated against, this is no time to back down. This is a time to fight for America. You love this country. We died for this country. We will sacrifice for this country. But that sacrifice cannot profit those at the top all the time. This is about the people. This is about one nation. This is about our future. This is about our kids, our grandkids, the future of our country. We cannot back down. We will not back down. We must move forward.

Are you one nation? Are you one nation? Are you one nation?

For the last two years President Obama he's had to put up with the word no. 40 people, 40 people in the United States Senate has held down the working man of America. 40 Republicans have decided to say no. While you suffer, while your jobs go overseas, while they strangle the money. They don't want to give it to the small businesses. They want to keep it at the top. They want to see President Obama fail. We cannot let that happen. We cannot let it happen.

The Lord is blessing this march with a great turnout and a beautiful day. I leave you with a message. We cannot give up on November 2nd. We have not gotten everything we have wanted in the first two years. But we have to stand behind our leaders on the progressive agenda that is for the people and not always the corporations. It is for the family of America. The other side, they think it's about profit. They don't think it's about people. They don't want us to have health care. They want it for profit. We will get universal health care some day in this country. We will create jobs. We will get the money to the small businesses.

• We will not let them ruin public education. If we let them do this to public education, we will be a different country.

Just remember, the great thing about public education is when the doors open, everyone is welcomed. The gifted, the challenged, the rich, the poor, those who need special help, those who get moved forward in advanced classes. This isn't about just a few people with the money. This is about all the people in public education for the opportunity of America. We cannot let them tear it down. We must fight. We must push back.

Our brothers and sisters, our union brothers and sisters across America. They have vilified you. They don't want you to organize in the workplace. They suppress your vote. They delay the organization of collective bargaining. We will not stand by silent. We as one nation, we as one nation must stand together, must fight the forces of evil, the conservatives in this country across the board want it for them. They don't want it for the people. They talk about the Constitution but they don't want to live by it. They talk about our forefathers but they want discrimination. They want to change this country.

And we as one nation stand up this day and say we will be there on November 2nd. We will not give up. We will continue to fight. Are you Americans? Are you Americans? Do you love this country? Then we must vote on November 2nd. God bless America. God bless our troops for keeping us safe. Let's move forward for the country.

Does this sound unifying and looking at all Americans as 'one nation' to you? And this was
maybe the least abrasive of all the speeches I heard.

So how about it Progressives. Is this YOUR leader? Is this the standard bearer for your point of view? You would feel all good and affirmed if you had attended this rally?

Actually, the speech is pointing out the people who are doing everything they can to DIVIDE this country. The various demonizations of everyone and anyone who does not agree with the PNAC agenda and the various neocon driven pundits has been WELL documented over that last decade. TFB if the teabaggers, neocon parrots and GOP loyalists don't like it.....maybe they should stop dishing it out.

Schultz may lay it on a little thick and is NOT the worlds greatest orator off the studio mike....but compared to the sheer BS prostelyzing of Beck, he's practically FDR.

 

[saveliberty]

I don't understand how it is the future if you have less votes Jake. Obviously less people at a rally may or may not mean less votes at election time. It certainly doesn't mean you are ahead either.

 

[saveliberty]

To me it seems the rally was doomed form the start. You have 400 groups with different agendas. A unifying One Nation approach is not going to happen.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You are suggesting the rallies reflect the voting for 2 Nov 2010. The Tea Party cannot generate more than 10% of total vote, which will have impact in a few local races. But the center will reject the Tea Party, I believe, in most of the races, and the GOP leadership is going to destroy its influence after the election. Wait and see.

 

[taichiliberal]

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

One Nation Working Together

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 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.

One Nation Working Together

You're not too bright, are you? Guys like you keep thinking that your opinions, speculations, suppositions and conjecture are the equivalent of facts and logic (hint: they are not).

I mean, there's a LIST of the attendees....the Socialist and Marxists are NOT the major players. Add to that the FACT that YOU cannot provide any fact based proof of what you assert, from the source material of the actual website, and you're just blowing smoke as usual. Next time, think it through before you embarass yourself.

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.

Why don't you stop lying? You have NO evidence of anyone being FORCED to do anything. It's a choice, and kids will take a field trip to a rally any day of the week. What's pissing you off is that the Koch Brothers and Armey's Freedomworks were too blatant in their handling of the bogus Beck silliness.

Jake, You are straying pretty far here. Sometimes it's better to take a break and recalibrate your bearings.
