The difference between Tea party rallies and Al Sharpton's & One Nation rally
Tea party- brought their own chairs and food and drinks -Keep the cost of the rally down dramitically.
They cleand up after themselves. Individual responsibility No cost to the city.
AL Sharpton's group - had to be told to move 6 times because they had a bottle neck build up.
Had to be asked if they were doing ok and if they needed some water.
One nation rally - had chairs in the front for them. Had food & drinks and water for them, cost of rally was much higher.
Had trash all over the place that had to be cleaned up by city workers also at cost to the city. No individual responsibility.
That is the difference.
The big difference is that the One Nation rally didn't have nearly a year's worth of bullhorning by Fox News and it's punditry that was carried on 77WABCTalk, Clear Channel, Murdoch publications, etc. prior to the event.....nor did it have logistics and transport funding by the Koch Bros. and Dick Armey (via FreedomWorks).
And yet they STILL had an impressive turn out.
The big difference is that the One Nation rally actually had a POINT, of which the majority of it's speakers focused on...and NOT a collection of rhetorical clap trap and pseudo-evangelism by a head speaker.
This bullshit about left over garbage is just that.
