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

[Sarah G]

Also, I'm curious about the OP

How was this rally "Obama backed"?

Did he even speak at the rally?

It real doesn't matter.

He might win another Nobel Prize for the rally.

Now, now. That isn't why I was asking but you could be right!

Exactly what are they protesting???

They are protesting for MORE government assistance. More tax dollars in their bank accounts. Less accountability, less involvement, less charity work. They want REDISTRIBUTION of YOUR hard earned money. They don't want to work for it...they think everything should be FRICKIN' FREE!

Here's the issue right here - your attempt to de-legitimize your fellow Americans fails because you don't even know what they're rallying for.

ah BUT when you guys did the same thing at the last rally, it was cool eh.

 

[Charles_Main]

What shall we learn from this rally?

That the Right is not so paranoid when we talk about Communists and they threat they pose

 

[Sunni Man]

They're asking for yobs!? OH PAHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE! They wouldn't know what a "job" was if it hit them in the face. They're asking for HANDOUTS! They truly believe that a job=a handout!

These people are not against getting a job.

It's the showing up for work part that proves just too difficult.

It's a Progressive Pro Depression Rally.
Progressives want to prosper at the expense of our economy.

Estimated 1.46 million now in DC

Wow!

1.78 million REAL AMERICANS peacefully protesting on the mall

Exactly what are they protesting???

If I had to guess, I suspect they are protesting a return to the Republican policy of subsidizing companies so they can send American jobs to China.

I still don't understand why Republicans think tearing down this country and building up Communist/Socialist China is a "good thing".

I guess it's part of their "Plague on America" Plan they seem so proud of. I love THIS country. China? Not so much.

Really? Have fun trying to find a post where I tried to de-legitimize the Beck rally.

Here's a hint - you're not going to find one.


And once again - the "But he did it first" argument didn't work when you were in Kindergarten, why would you think it would work now?

What are you basing this on other than your hatred?

Let's not forget folks that the only "rallys" that matter will be the 50 simultaneous rallys that happen in 31 days.

Of course not. Obama had nothing to do with this rally at all.

During his remarks at a town hall in Richmond today, President Obama gave a plug for a rally planned by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, called the "Campaign to Restore Sanity," contrasting the the tone of the spoof news show with that of its "purposely provocative" cable counterparts.
"What happens is these cable shows and talk show hosts, a lot of them figure out that, 'The more controversial I can be, and I'm calling Obama this name or that name and saying he wasn't born in this country, that will get me attention," the president said.
Part of the challenge of combating purposely provocative shows, Obama added, is creating a way to remind Americans that the country is not as polarized as cable shows would sometimes make it seem.
"Use Jon Stewart, the host of the Daily Show," Obama said. "Apparently he's going to host a rally called something like, 'Americans Who Favor a Return to Sanity or something like that."
He continued that most people -- like the people who will be at the rally -- have more pressing concerns than to worry about the the political beliefs of others.
"They're looking after their families," Obama said, "they don't go around calling people names, they don't make stuff up, they may not be following every single issue because they just don't have time, but they are expecting some common sense and some courtesy."

Really? Here's the website for the rally.

I don't see anything about "handouts".

It's a "War of the Middle Class".

Either you are for the Democrats who want to build the Middle Class in this country.

Or:

You are for the Republicans who want to build the Middle Class in China.

Funny because they claim it is completely non partisan and they are rallying for among other things. JOBS!

Did you read your source? Or just mindlessly cut-and-paste?

The Jon Stewart/Steven Colbert Rally hasn't happened yet. This rally was a different rally entirely.

The One Nation Rally has been "plugged" on Obama's web site for awhile now.
