WASHINGTON - Thousands of people converged on the World War II Memorial on the National Mall on Sunday morning and tore down the barricades blocking it off, protesting the closure of the memorial during the federal government shutdown.
Beginning at about 9:30 a.m., Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as well as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, were among the luminaries in a crowd that chanted "Tear down these walls!" and sang "God Bless America" as well as other patriotic songs as they entered the memorial, which has been closed since the government shutdown that began Oct. 1.
Tractor-trailers headed down 17th Street toward the Mall, blaring their horns. The Metropolitan Police Department blocked off the street, prompting the crowd to head up the street, shouting at the police to move their vehicles.
How retarded.

The people are rising against the White House. "This is OUR Memorial!"
God Bless America!
Great to see. Nothing can change if you don't get involved. The Communists/Progressives have seized power because they were allowed to. Too many have decided to do a lot of complaining, while doing very little doing. Ya gotta give the Communists/Progressives credit, they've been united and aggressive. Now it's time for Constitutional Conservatives to do the same.
The government will remove the barricades and open the national mall for a immigration rally but the veteran's have to remove them themselves what bullshit.
Wish I could have been there!
Veterans are now removing the barricades and are bringing them to the White House. Oh I so wish I could see this.
Veterans Remove Barricades from Memorials and Bring Them to WH
looks like 20-somethings are moving them on your *cough* "breitbart" link
How many people are there? 50? 100? Cruz, Lee, Palin & their handlers/staff?
You see what you want to see.The Daily Caller said "hundreds of people" not thousands. The pictures posted show a very small group and what struck me immediately is that the crowd is uniformly white and mostly male and not well dressed.
IOW, a small group of low income white males - the die hard Republican voters and TP supporters. Furthermore, none of them looked old enough to have served in WWII. Anyone who served in WWII would be close to 90 years old.
My brother lied about his age to join the army in 1944 at the age of 16 and he would be 88 today if he were still living.
All this does is underline how little support the TP has for their agenda.
