wow, thousands?

that darned liberal media


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."

2. There were "thousands" in any given EYEline. I know because I was THERE.

"Thousands" . . . yeah, those idiots WISH we were less enthusiastic than the TeaBundists. We also didn't have billionaires like the Koch's funding us or busing us in.

3. Don't worry. Ed will be on teevee on Monday

and will get a good number out there. Faux may try to pretend Beckhead got more people, but Ed will set that record straight.
