10-02-10 March On Washington..

[Knucklehead]

Is anyone else here going to D.C. this saturday?? I've been hearing a lot about it lately on the radio.Sounds like it's going to be well attended,there are 700 busses leaving from N.Y. alone. It promises to have some real good speakers.I can't wait..

Outside of a few progressive radio hosts and MSNBC I haven't heard a peep out of the rest of the media..I wonder if this will be like the anti war marches back a few years ago,where hundreds of thousands of people showed up and the events received barely,if any media coverage..

That's strange, there are some major supporters missing from that list! Seems like the DailyKos just decided to edit these supporters from their list. But hey, maybe it's just a coincidence.

That's a shame they were left out.I've seen them mentioned on other websites..

Unlike most people on the hysterical right,I have no beef with either Communists or Socialists.I would vote,without hesitation, for a decent Socialist candidate..
Are you going to be there Laika?

Imagine a country where people are free to believe as they wish.

Someone ought to invent it and call it the united states of america.

No. You believe what you're told. And don't ask questions. And don't get educated. Them intelligentsia think they're so smart. Ignorance is bliss. Remember to vote Republican. Pray to the Christian God only.

I wish I could join them. Unfortunately, I'm really broke and also I have to work this coming weekend. Those of you who will be there, "seize the day." I will be here at home but my heart will be in Washington D.C.

I heard that apparently obama unofficially endorsed the march at some low-key event - can't find a video or similar though ..

Well, if Obama unofficially endorsed ???? it, then it must be good.

 

[Corny]

you are like the gold star of liberal threads

 

[bike10]

Glad to see so much support. Bet Fox News will avoid this story.

Teamsters President: Our Memebers HAVE to Attend

[swerve]

Wow Kenny -- that is SO COOL that you and Kester are able to attend...

And it sounds like you're going to be surrounded by GREAT company!!!

Oh -- just a couple suggestions -- don't hang out TOO CLOSELY to the "Green for all" folks...

And -- "don't bring your guns to town"...

HAVE FUN and I look forward to the pictures...

Teamsters President: Our Memebers HAVE to Attend

What do you suppose that means?

 

[bendted]

^Convienently, he left out "and they want to."

 

[justapixel]

^Convienently, he left out "or else".

 

[opinterph]

^Convienently, he left out "or else".

On behalf of Teamsters Local 237, we’re encouraging everybody to be in Washington October the 2nd …

I saw the clip this afternoon. Obama was referring to the John Stewart "march." It appeared that he was attending a back-yard picnic.

 

[White Eagle]

^Convienently, he left out "and they want to."

I've listened to it twice and never heard the "or else".

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

I've listened to it twice and never heard the "or else".

Our resident Right-wing party shills are really bad at trolling.

It's kinda sad to watch, really.
