Thousands gather for 'One Nation' rally in D.C.

It's about time eh. I am so sick of hearing all that BS from the other side ... whine whine and more whining.

WASHINGTON — Tapping into the same anger that fuels the tea party movement, a coalition of progressive and civil rights groups marched Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial and pledged to support Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill.

"We are together. This march is about the power to the people," said MSNBC host Ed Schultz. "It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back?"

In a fiery speech that opened the "One Nation Working Together" rally on the National Mall, Schultz blamed Republicans for shipping jobs overseas and curtailing freedoms. He borrowed some of conservative commentator Glenn Beck's rhetoric and vowed to "take back our country."

"This is a defining moment in America. Are you American?" Schultz told the raucous crowd of thousands. "This is no time to back down. This is time to fight for America."

With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the four-hour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Senate. The national mood suggests gains for the GOP, and Republicans are hoping to ride voter anger to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate.

Organizers insist the rally is not partisan. They say the message is about job creation, quality education and justice. However, the largest organizations, such as the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union, tend to back Democratic candidates.

And the first speakers hardly shied from criticizing Republicans. "They want to change this country," Schultz warned participants of Republicans.

More than 400 organizations — ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups — partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea party-style activists.

Beck and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gathered near the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech to urge a vast crowd to embrace traditional values. Though also billed as nonpolitical, the rally was widely viewed as a protest against the policies of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.

One Nation organizers said they began planning their event before learning about Beck's rally, and said Saturday's march is not in reaction to that.

I didn't catch those two speaking but of the speakers I did catch... and the topic of each one, you would have thought this was like 1962 rather than 2010. I bet most people there were not even alive in 1962.... but so hungry are they for legit victims of oppression they have to fish that far back.

I admire anyone who gets off their aZZ and speaks up but one couldn't help but notice how small the crowd was.

When it is all said and done, the only fruit to come from this gathering will be the "out-takes" to appear on RW radio .....of the very far left folks who took to the podium to speak.

What's interesting is that for the 28 August rally, there were number estimates by early afternoon. I haven't found anyone estimating a number yet for this one, only sites posting comparison photos, which are a poor reference point as you can never tell when and at what stage in each event they were taken.

And the video clip where they announced that the crowd was bigger this time around means squat, without independent numbers to back it up, whereas they didn't even give their own numbers.

If I were a betting man, right now I'd put money on Glenn Beck and Co. having more people at his rally.

Whatever than means

Yes, so many more from the dark side of the force.

Your sources just can't seem to get Socialism and Communism straight so they choose to blend them into one giant boogieman. From your video footage, it doesn't look like this rally was much smaller than Becks. No hard numbers still but Reurters says "tens of thousands."

I guess the evidence shows communism/ socialism are two peas in a pod at these rallies no?

[sly_wolf 199]

Socialism is good. Communsim is bad. Is Communsim and communion related or I am getting politics and religion mixed up?
