More than a hand full of kooks.
Hey folks,
All through August we were told that, "Yeah, there were a hand full of Kooks, and those that are being lead by the Insurance Agencies to make a political point." Then when that failed to satisfy, they said it was "Astroturfing." Then of course, "YOU ARE ALL RACISTS."
But yesterday? Was this just a hand full of Kooks? Was this Astroturfing? Was THIS nothing but some Racist that hate Obama? Nope. The AP reports it this way.

WASHINGTON – Tens of thousands of protesters fed up with government spending marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, showing their disdain for the president's health care plan with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" and "I'm not your ATM."
What was it? Like a THOUSAND showed up at an ORGANIZED Pro-Obamacare rally? We are talking Tens of thousands of people from EVERY walk of life, EVERY political affiliation, and NO ONE was TOLD to go. Some estimates I have seen puts the numbers over a few HUNDRED Thousand.
The line of protesters clogged several blocks near the Capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Demonstrators chanted "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
All TRUE.
Throngs of people waved U.S. flags and held signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress" and "Obama Bin Lyin.'" {I LOVE THAT} Men wore colonial costumes as they listened to speakers who warned of "judgment day" — Election Day 2010.
Other signs — reflecting the growing intensity of the health care debate — depicted President Barack Obama with the signature mustache of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Many referred to Obama as a socialist or communist, and another imposed his face on that of the villainous Joker from "Batman."
It is GROWING. The more and more it seems Obama and Crew are NOT listening, more and more people become upset. NO ONE WANTS Obamacare. NO ONE that is SANE that is.
Richard Brigle, 57, a Vietnam War veteran and former Teamster, came from Paw Paw, Mich. He said health care needs to be reformed — but not according to Obama's plan.
"My grandkids are going to be paying for this. It's going to cost too much money that we don't have," he said while marching, bracing himself with a wooden cane as he walked.
FreedomWorks Foundation, a conservative organization led by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, organized several groups from across the country for what they billed as a "March on Washington."
See, See, They were lead. Wrong. Some of the groups were organized and helped some there that could not get there any other way. Some heard of it on the Radio. Some read about it on Blogs. Some heard about it from friends. But NO ONE was TOLD they had to go. They all went there of their OWN will.
Organizers say they built on momentum from the April "tea party" demonstrations held nationwide to protest tax policies, along with growing resentment over the economic stimulus packages and bank bailouts.
Armey and other speakers directed their ire at Pelosi — Armey took a photo, telling the crowd he wanted to be able to prove to her they were there.
"If it's necessary, we'll come back here next year," he said.
Many protesters said they paid their own way to the event — an ethic they believe should be applied to the government. They say unchecked spending on things like a government-run health insurance option could increase inflation and lead to economic ruin.
It will.
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 deficit spending is out of control, and said she thought it was putting the country at risk.
Not exactly Ms. Hall. They KNOW the powers they were granted. They just feel they are to restricted. They IGNORE the Constitution daily. Of course the Mainstream Media will not point that out, nor investigate ANYTHING negative when it comes to Obama and Crew.
Race also became an issue when a black Republican leader denounced African-American politicians that she said had an "affinity" for socialism.
"I'm outraged prominent black politicians use the race card" to cover up their failed policies, said Deneen Borelli of New York.
That is all they have left. You Racist you.
One woman held a sign with images of Martin Luther King Jr. and Obama, with the words printed alongside: "He had a dream, we got a nightmare." {I LOVE THAT ONE TOO.}
Lawmakers also supported the rally. Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said Americans want health care reform but they don't want a government takeover.
"Republicans, Democrats and independents are stepping up and demanding we put our fiscal house in order," Pence, of Indiana, told The Associated Press.
"I think the overriding message after years of borrowing, spending and bailouts is enough is enough," Pence said.
Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., also spoke at the rally.
Other sponsors of the event include the Heartland Institute, Americans for Tax Reform and the Ayn Rand Center for Individuals Rights.
By the way, some would suggest that, that last one, Ayn Rand Center for Individuals Rights, is a Liberal Group. I have been told that, but I do not know who they are. It makes sense if they are. Original Liberalism is NOT bad. They were all about smaller Government and PROTECTING Individuals Rights.
Connie Castleton, 52, of Irving, Texas, said she drove 20 hours from her home to attend the rally. The nurse said she's motivated to try and get others involved in opposing Obama's health care plan.
"There's a lot more people mad about what's going on than I thought," she said.
That's because the State Run Media will NOT tell you about it. They will tell you that it is just those waskly Republicans that hate Obama. They will tell you that there really is no one against Obamacare. It's all just Astroturfing. But that is NOT the truth at all.
Several protesters said they represented a "silent majority" or referred to themselves as "community organizers" — a phrase often associated with the president.
"This isn't some right-wing conservative agenda," said 30-year-old Adam Moore of Rochester, Mich. "This is a true grass-roots movement."
Yes it is. Because, contrary to what is widely reported, there really are not that many "Progressives," Communists, Fascists, American Hating Socialists, that want to change this GREAT Nation.
Erica Coyle, who's in her 50s and is from Louisville, Ky., said problems began before Obama took office, but she said the situation has worsened and people are "finally waking up."
"This is his Waterloo," Coyle said of Obama.
Let's hope so. Let's hope so.
