More On The March On Washington


Last week, we witnessed the mainstream media's coverage of the "radical right wingers" march on Washington, DC. You know, people like you and me who think that socialized medicine is wrong, Progressives (Democrats) are ruining this country, Obama is an appeaser, redistribution of wealth hurts the economy, etc. Because we don't like having our pockets picked by an ultra left (Socialist) administration, we are radicals and racists.

Well, according to "the media", there were about 70,000 people there. You know, enough to cause minor traffic disruptions. The foreign press, on the other hand, reported in excess of one million people. Now, we all know this is nonsense because this "vocal minority event" could not possibly have attracted over twice as many people as the world famous "Million Man March"! (Remember, even though that crowd was estimated as less than 500,000, it's still the Million Man March damn it!")

One of our readers, Vinnie, reports that his wife was there last week with this right wing rabble. While obviously not an expert "crowd estimator", she guesses that the crowd was a lot closer to the million number. Also, anybody who has has eyes can look at the aerial photos and see that there are easily hundreds of thousands of people there. Great showing!

What does all of this mean? It means we are getting stronger. It means that the media is getting weaker (as witnessed by their increased distortion of the facts in an effort to promote a socialist agenda). It means that our politicians, who in large part declined to comment on this event, are getting scared. Be very careful of this last one. Powerful people who are in a corner are very dangerous indeed ...

Keep up the fight.

  1. By 1pm Freedom Works, one of the sponsors, announced to the rally that all the roads going into DC were closed and that the crowd was estimated at over 1 million every day, normal people.
