It seems that the most important thing about yesterday's DC Klan rally was

[Subdivisions]

"how many people were there?"

Why does everyone, including the MSN (the first thing I heard out of my teevee this morning was Alex Twit asking someone how many people had attended the protest), obsess about the number of people that showed up? Are they looking for some validation for their racist, conspiracy-fueled wackiness - a lot of people means they are right in their insanity? Well, if they themselves are so hung up on, and seeking validation in, the numbers, they must not be all that confident in their message.

1. Yep - as long as no-one says it, it doesn't exist. So all resources are put towards...

preventing people from saying it.

2. Numbers indicate support levels

Below 100,000 = fringe group of idiotic cranks.

100,000 - 200,000 = watch out, this is something that could become a movement

200,000 + = MAN BATTLE STATIONS, WE HAVE A MOVEMENT ON OUR HANDS!!!!!

[Subdivisions]

4. I'm hearing and seeing wingnut on radio and internet saying 2,000,.000. Idiots.

They are trying to make the teabagger movement looks more substantial than it was. Hell, even glenn beck was too embarassed by the meager turnout that he was live on fux snooze yesterday, not even covering his own stoopid protest!

Here's one example from a site we're not allowed to link to:

I WAS THERE. There were people from all colors, ages, backgrounds, political parties, and every state in the union. Certainly the ‘majority’ of the crowd was white-middle class America, but that is BECAUSE the MAJORITY of AMERICANS are WHITE MIDDLE Class.

For those of you that want to believe what the T.V. tells you, that is your right. It does not matter whether the media gives a truthful representation of this event or not. I personally interviewed people all day long and did my best to take a true sampling of the crowd. The signs were nearly all home-made and 90% of those I interviewed had never in their lives been involved in any type of political protest and said that they had no idea if anyone was going to show up or not. These Americans came as far away as Hawaii and California – spending their own money that is hard to come by in this economy. — Unlike the liberals who have to pay people to show up at their own protests.

The significance of this event is huge. It was the largest protest in American history and for every person there, there were 10 more at home that wanted to come and even 10 more that didn’t even know about it. I met several people that said they only had a couple days to make arrangements to come because they had ‘just heard’ about it. In addition to the March on DC there were 250 satellite protests held throughout the country as well.

The left is not the majority in this country although the media wants the world to buy in to that. The bottom line is this, everyone is entitled to believe what they want, but the silent majority of Americans are fed up and have united. It is time to get back to the fundamentals of the constitution by moving the power back into the hands of the individual and away from big government.

The United States is NOT a democracy – it is a LIMITED REPUBLIC although that sentiment and transition has crept into the government. These Americans understand that and have decided it is high time to get it back.

6. They've spread the lie and the lie becomes their truth

IT's no different from the Birthers.

The birthers have decided that Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen and thus no rational argument will alter that.

The Teabaggers ahve decided that 70,000 = 2,000,000 and thus no rational argument will alter that.

They even go so far as to take a decade old aerial photo of an event on the mall and claim it as their own, just as Orly Taitz has taken not one, but multiple obviosly fraudulent "Kenyan Birth Certificates" and made them real.

It's a psychosis.

3. They Are Incapable Of Admitting Who Instead of How Many

And todays word, my friends, is Hoodwinked. But todays version has a slight edge to it. It is a person who has Klanish ideas but says he was mistaken,made a mistake,was misquoted when someone finally catches on to his comment. When the flock actually believe his MISTAKE, that, my friends, is a HOODWINK!!!!

5. It's a good way to refute every repuke congressman and senator...

... that says the canned line "I think it's obvious that there is a popular movement out there that does not support..."

If they spend six whole months with non-stop, free, 24/7 publicity from Fox and talk radio, along with corporate funded groups busing people in from all all over the country, and all they could get was 30,000 - 70,000 people, that's not a movement. That's not even close to a movement. That's a joke.

[Subdivisions]

7. 'That's not even close to a movement.'

Hence there need to make it out to be more than it was. They (glenn beck) needed it...nay, counted on it being 2,000,000 so that they could hype their "movement". But they did nothing but embarass themselves further, to the point that glenn beck wouldn't even come out of the fux studios to attend his own party. They had hoped for a real movement and all they got was a KKK rally.

8. Kicking to say: I'm listening to the radio and there's a guy on saying

that the crowd was shooed from the Mall and was forced under the trees where they couldn't be seen. Also, images of the rally are being doctored to show less people than were actually there.

This craziness is off the hook!
