quote WASHINGTON - Thousands of people marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending. The line of protesters completely filled Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. People were chanting "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

quote Terri Hall, 45, of Starke, Fla., said she felt compelled to become political for the first time this year because she was upset by government spending. "Our government has lost sight of the powers they were granted," she said. She added that the deficit spending was out of control, and said she thought it was putting the country at risk.

Here's an aerial shot of the march.

I don't think the Klan has had that many members in decades.

That picture looks a little thin.


REAL aerial shot.

And you know every person was photographed, and the states' facial recognition database searched for their ID's. "For our protection" of course.

Of course, because anyone that doesn't agree 100% with Pres. Obama must be a racist klansman.

Do you realize how stupid that picture makes you seem? Personally, I thought better of you.

Kind of interesting that the racist left is always screaming 'racist'.

The left always seems to accuse others of that which they are guilty.

quote Originally posted by Wolfhound: Here's an aerial shot of the march.

Wow, I thought it was Neptune who always jumped into a thread only to imply that anyone disagreeing with Obama or his policies were racists.

Guess not...

Oh, and IBTN

quote Originally posted by Wolfhound: Here's an aerial shot of the march.

I had thought you were better than that, but it seems you've decided to join NEPTUNE down in the gutter.

Ah,The self righteous indignation.
You clowns can dish it out but ,you sure can't take it.

Funny from those who call Obama a Nazi and Fascist.
Boo F-ing Hoo.

Mr. fierobear, you wouldn't be calling them hypocrites in a round about way, would you?

The march had absolutely nothing to do with racism. Those are American people of all color demonstrating to the federal government that we are tired of thier terrible policies. I am very happy to see a demonstration such as this, I would have been there if I could. It shows that the American people are getting tired of thier tactics and we will not stand for it. We can't just stand back and do nothing, we have to make a stand and we did a great job of showing our patriotism today. I speak for these demonstaters and WE WANT TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!

What's funny is that the leftists (you know, the folks that are supposedly about inclusion and tolerance) are almost always the ones to inject racial elements into a discussion.

quote Originally posted by Wolfhound: Here's an aerial shot of the march.

Wolfhound you act of making it a racial march when it was anything but has one earned you a negative and two made you seem like a child who lashes out with whatever you think might hurt someones feelings. I don't like Obama, have never called him a Fascist or a Nazi but I think he is dragging this countries economy through the mud and it will take generations to recover what his government has spent. I would have gladly joined this march if I lived in D.C. and you my friend cannot claim my motives are just about hate or along a party line because I have givin 21 years of service (and still serving) to this country defending it's Constitution. Have a nice day and post when you have something relevent to say.

Wait for the president to do just that. It's coming, just watch.

That blanketed statement makes you appear narrow minded and unyielding.

Curly I think it was sarcasm directed at Wolfhounds picture.

But comparing the protesters to Klan members is ok in your book? That's your idea of open minded and accepting?

quote Originally posted by madcurl: That blanketed statement makes you appear narrow minded and unyielding.

So you're OK with comparing the D.C protesters to the KKK?

quote Originally posted by Wolfhound: Here's an aerial shot of the march.

Really Wolf?
You want to call me a racist because I disagree with Obama?

I retracted my comments about draftees.. might have to revise that.. "mememememememe against me nazi" go get in line behind the UAW and Teachers Unions.. someone has to clean up after hes finished for the day.

quote Originally posted by Uaana: Really Wolf? You want to call me a racist because I disagree with Obama?

Nothing new, the left has been using that ploy since Obama announced his candidacy.

Perhaps you'd like to show me a post where I ever called him that?

I may not like him, but I treat the office he holds with respect.

I think it's the Canadian embassy. From looking at Google maps, it appears that's about where it would be.

Excuse me? Perhaps you'd like to explain that one.

I think comparing a large group of people legally protesting runaway spending in Washington DC to a KKK mob is narrow minded and unyielding?

You, of all people, should be offended by that comparison.

quote Originally posted by madcurl: That blanketed statement makes you appear narrow minded and unyielding.

You know what gives me hope about today?

Look at who's there: Middle aged families, people that would normally never do something like this. I think people are finally paying attention to the government and its follies.

Also, not a single act of violence.. sweet.

As far as the indignation again people using comparisons between Obama and the Nazis, "Nazi" is short for "national socialist party" so the comparison seems pretty valid to me. Granted, I don't believe Obama would advocate genocide, I do believe he wouldn't mind the economic and political control the Nazi party enjoyed for a while.

quote Originally posted by Wolfhound: Here's an aerial shot of the march.

What you didn't say about the photo is that during that time the KKK was made up of mostly southern Democrats.

Did someone say Obama and Nazis?

quote Originally posted by madcurl: That blanketed statement makes you appear narrow minded and unyielding.

So you also compare the demonstrators in DC to the KKK? WTF?

Because when everyone was out at the march we staged a coup!

Well, Wolf has succeeded in disrailing the thread topic with a classic tactic out of the liberal playbook...distraction. Personally, I try to ignore posts like that since they add nothing constructive to the chat and only tend to move the discussion to his playing field.

Remember people....don't feed the trolls.

BTW, various estimates currently say that attendance was between 1.2 and 1.5 million with both ABC and the UK Daily Mail both reporting up to two million people attended the rally.

It appears the silent majority wants to be heard, and not herded (into socialism).
