    Didn't Fox News cover the whole thing like they did the tea party rallies?

    Infotainment reigns. That's a very bad sign in my book. But whatever. Maybe it will be cool.

    America is having innocuous infotainment rallies and costume parties, while Europeans are having real protests with strikes and shutdowns over budget cuts in the middle of deep depression.

    The naive, fat-ass, dumbed-down, class-ignorant Americans have been cutoff at the knees, defeated, and emasculated by the billionaires. They're so ing dumbed down and intimidated that they don't even know it.

    So, over 400 organizations chartered over 500 buses and, still, they have a less than desirable turnout.

    So Beck's jerkoff ignorant loser suckers show up in greater number than yesterday?

    Neither rally, no matter how pissed off people are, makes a bit of difference to how the country is run, which is out of reach of the citizens.

    And Beck and tea baggers offer NO solutions, just vague sloganeering like

    "Restoring America".

    Europeans know how to demonstrate, and run shutdown strikes when they are getting screwed.

    French Pension Protests Draw Nearly A Million Marchers For Third Time In A Month

    PARIS — Hundreds of thousands of protesters young and old demonstrated in France on Saturday, waving union flags and pressing conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy to drop plans to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62. It was the third day of protests in a month.

    No kidding.

    Why do liberal constantly make it a "us against them" fight? Why can't they try for equality, instead of demanding the least common denominator performance with unions, and call fairness... redistribution of wealth?

    Why can't everyone be equal in work effort?

    I swear. If liberals actively attempted to make an honest dollar, with the same energy that the fight against the rich, they would be rich!

    I can't help that. Maybe they should have spent more money on marketing the event than on buses.

    It was being billed as the response to the Glenn Beck rally and, if that's what they were doing, they failed miserably.

    In America people are upset because people can't work.
    In France people are upset because they don't want to work.

    I agree, with Fox news allowing for Beck to advertise his rally didn't affect the turnout. All other radio talking heads d the rally which had nothing to do with the turnout.. nothing at all..

    LOL...

    I heard about it on conservative talk shows. Are the conservatives advertising it more than the liberals?

    Your point being?

    Conservative talking heads reach a larger audience than liberal talking heads? I agree.

    FoxNews "allowed" Glenn Beck to talk about the rally on his syndicated talk show -- the airtime of which is paid for by advertisers? Would Keith Olberman not be given the same consideration by his network?

    Actually, I heard about the Glenn Beck rally on the web. I don't watch FoxNews.

    Where were all the liberal bloggers?

    so then you aren't suprised the non publicized rally was smaller.

    why even start the thread ?

    I heard about yesterday's rally as much as I heard about Glenn Beck's. It wasn't non-publicized. Maybe it just wasn't publicized and marketed to those who might have attended. Which, admittedly, is a shrinking population...

    Conservative bloggers have been talking about what a miserable failure it was going to be for a few weeks now.

    Again, why did no one in the more than 400 organizations involved not think to get the word out?

    It wasn't non-publicized. I heard as much about the upcoming "One Nation Rally" from my media sources as I did about the "Restoring Honor" rally. Granted, the mentions weren't as positive but, the were as plenty.

    Why are you repeating yourself, lose your medication?
