LA Times peddles the big lie about protests on its Sunday front page
front and center on page one the big headline says "anger in the streets of Washington" and makes the entire incident look like a spontaneous outburst of concerned citizens. Evidence here on DU and the internet make it perfectly clear the entire incident was organized by the republican party, health scam insurance companies, and various white right wing hate groups. There was NOTHING spontaneous about it.

And worst of all, the fact that this "protest" was pretty much a KKK rally was not even mentioned.

What a fraud article. Then again the Democratic Party INC refuses to fight back against this corporate manufactured white racist campaign, so why should the LA Times give a crap?

The Democratic Party INC is missing a huge chance to stand up against racism in a unified and organized manner but is failing to do so, abandoning its cherished 60's traditions. Here is a golden opportunity to hammer the Republikkkans back into the stone age yet it is being squandered.

Oh well, back to the usual.

1. Don't foget that this was planned 6 months ago. As another poster on another thread said
no way to tell how many of those ppl planned months ago and came to DC with other planned events around the rally--sightseeing, etc.
