Did you have a point by rehashing the information here that's not in question?

Yes, money out would be for corporations and unions.
Well it must have been in question or else why did you feel the need to throw out irrelevant union history?

I am local and have friends that are going but I don't think I will go. The crowd that event will bring in is likely not going to be as well behaved as the Tea Party rallies.

Will try to catch the highlights on TV though.
More like the SEIU a few weeks ago?

So anybody that watches Fox have they said they will have multiple cameras and a full press core there like the other rallies?

You know to be "fair and balanced"?

Unless it is a great weekend (and it might be, today is fine in New England) I predict turnout will be pretty low. After all, this is an event put on by an entertainment channel, it won't attract the fanatics that a political rally would. The audience will be mostly the curious.

I expect it to be pretty much like a tailgater at a big college, with far less alcohol (if for no other reason, because you have to carry it in).

I'm just glad that Stewart and Colbert are finally coming out as progressive activists and no longer hiding behind just trying to be funny.

Oh, and LOL for ASSuming that I'm Canadian.

I'm not mad. Do try to keep that photo handy for when it is actually appropriate.

LOL, yeah, well, I thought you were trying to let everyone know you were a very strange Canadian with your avatar, the Mountie uniform being so recognizable. I don't watch the late night comedy shows so I did not recognize the guy wearing it.

Actually, and I apologize in advance for commenting on your choice of avatar being as it might be such a personal slight and probably will cause me to lose all kinds of forum karma points, I thought it looks kind of gay. Or maybe campy would be a better choice of words to describe it. Kind of like the Village People.

Yes, I am bored. Perhaps I should check out the wrap ups for the Euro markets. Yes, indeed.

Was this ever even questionable?

If only Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh would do the same for Conservatives.

Too soon?

Wow... large crowd.

Yea if becks rally had a "million" then by that way of counting; this has to be at least a billion. :awe:


Funny how the only coverage Fox"news" has of this is a small AP blurb on their site. What happened to "Fair and bal..." hahahahah. :D
