Some points to consider about the liberal-progressive's 'One Nation' rally
Topics: Political News and commentariesErick Erickson offers some important points that make for a clear distinction between the liberal-progressive/communist/socialist rally held in D.C. this past weekend - meant to counter Glenn Beck's hugely successful, "Restoring Honor":rally of 8/28:
The "One Nation" rally happened this weekend. The majority of the crowd was bussed in by union groups and other leftwing groups. Compare that to tea party activists, the majority of whom pooled their money to go to DC for the 8/28 rally.Pamela Geller offers this easy comparison between the "One Nation" astroturf event on 10/2 at which thousands were given free bus rids by unions and the NAACP to get there, and Glenn Becks' ground roots "Restoring Honor" event on 8/28 at which the majority of whom pooled their own money to get there:A large segment of the crowd was paid to be there. Unions pay. Tea party groups and Glenn Beck did not on 8/28.
Nonetheless, the crowd was sparse -- so sparse that even the Associated Press was compelled to take note of it.
Of those who were there though, they were unapologetically of the left. Assorted communists, socialists, union goons, and Democrats. But I repeat myself.
The Communist Party USA openly bragged about its effort to turn out the crowd in defense of its darling socialist Barack Obama. The left is finally being honest. They are embracing their socialist/communist identity.
They even held up signs and banners proclaiming the return of the Reds.
The difference is striking. On the one hand, a sparse crowd of liberal-progressives, union goons, communists, and socialists - most of whom were paid to get there, and on the other hand, a massive genuine grassroots crowd who got there with their own money.
