No, I don't have many good things to say.  The best thing about Obama is he has done more for the conservative movement than anyone I can certainly remember.  People were fooled into "hope and change" which was nothing but socialism in disguise.  America is rejecting it.

What is my point?  Well I'm pointing out how the media judges two different rallies, and showing how one is misrepresented in the so-called media.  If you listened to the MSM on Friday, you would have expected only several hundred people to show up, and that the only people attending were racist "teabaggers".  All of which was wrong.

All that was from a hit piece from the NYT.  Ask the Tea Party groups if they have received any checks from them, the answer will always be the same.  There is not "one" leader of the Tea Party groups, they are community organized.  It doesn't matter though, the left has nothing better to do than call them racists and try whatever they can to discredit them.  This coming from the party of George Soros.  Oh the hypocrisy.

Your math is sound.  However, that does not take into account the fact that those who showed up had 2 things going for them - the means to do so (it would have been very difficult for an Alaskan to make it - even had they been well off), and the time.  That is why the 1.8 million for the Obama inaugural was so significant.  Not due to the ratios, but the fact that each one that did show up represented many who could not.

So if the Beckians were lunatics, what does that say for the Obamians?  Perhaps not lunatics, just cultish.  Ala Jim Jones.

thanks guys for the info.  I did some research on both Soros and Koch Brothers and relayed the information to my very nice but gullible friend.    I read her your responses and she didn't have much to say and was much more subdued than when she first told me about the meeting after being all hyped up about what they said. 

By the looks of it George Soros has everyone beat.   The interesting part is I found out that he is a very wealthy Jew and my friend is also Jewish.  Yesterday when I asked her why the Jews are more apt to vote Democratic especially when the likes of Obama and friends are no friends of Israel she told me that the rich Jews vote Republican.  She didn't know what to say after I told her Soros was a very very rich Jew. 

So much information being tossed to and fro and so little critical thinking these days. 

I'm fine with the money's use, but if he could get away with it, I'm sure that beck would have tried to take it all for himself. If you can honestly say that you think that he just gave out of the goodness of his heart, you're just as nuts as you claim I am.

And of course, if the big companies would grow a pair and just hire qualified people, we wouldn't be in this mess. Of course that would mean their cries that obama is bad for business would be completely unfounded. Sure in the short term they'll take a hit to profits, but the fact that they are paying more people means those people can then spend more money, increasing profits in the long run. But of course, we can't do that while the democrats are in control, because that might mean they did something right and their popularity would go up, meaning the people might vote for them again, and we can't have that.

three things actually, the two you mentioned plus the motivation to go.

I do applaud the money they raised. Although, I'm curious at the probability of ulterior motives as well. I'm not hesitant to criticize the left (where my beliefs lay, being a moderate/slightly left wing person); in fact, i tend to criticize them more because I expect better.

As for Sharpton, blegh. I've never liked the guy. I don't care for Jesse Jackson either, but at least he's bearable when he speaks.

That's a bold accusation, but I'm pretty sure that between his FOX salary and his own business ventures, Beck probably does quite well. Sharpton on the other hand, well his money comes directly from poverty and race pimping, all with a big Democrat seal of approval. People living in harmony just don't pay his bills, so he will never be for true equality, it leaves him unemployed. Victims mean cash.

Nothing political at all mentioned at the rally. Are you saying your incapable of doing such a thing for three hours? If people went to oh say a Bruce Springsteen concert based on his (often vocal) politics don't you believe attendance would be way down?

I asked Leauki the same question in a thread once.  It actually has nothing to do with politics per se, but with the way they are raised. They are raised to believe that a community is responsible, and of course the democrat version of social welfare plays right into their up bringing.  That is about the only thing they have in common with democrats, but apparently it is enough.  I wonder how smart they are to be so gullible.

#1: Your paranoia is exquisite!  So the reason the economy is tanking is not due to bad policies, but due to people willing to cut off their nose to spite their face!  What is your next act - pulling a unicorn out of a hat?

#2: Yes, Nancy - unemployment pay is the best jobs stimulus out there!  When you are out of OPM to stimulate the economy, what is next?  Printing money!  That does everyone good, right?  Oh!  Wait!  The unicorn and hat trick!  My bad!  I forgot about that one.

and #3: - that is a given.  people with no motivation are not reading about it either.  They do not care.

Meanwhile Count Baracula continues to drain the lifeblood out of our economy. Look at the news on every front...  its just a total disaster. The Cole bomber off the hook for now, the United States willing to accept the UN designation as a violator of human rights, more soldiers killed in Afghanistan than Bush's entire term, on and on and on. Obama is back from his 6th lavish vacation and to tell you the truth I wouldn't mind if he just went on vacation for the remainder of his one failed term.

Wasn't thinking of politics actually. I've always felt that Beck is a bit of a megalomaniac.

Offering $100,000 for a sex tape involving Beck.  

yea, another act of cowardice by those who find it all too easy to be cowards.

That's disgraceful; shame on them.
