And here’s another “patriot,” this one via Gawker.
Isn’t there some place we can put these idiots where the can’t hurt other people with their idiocy?
Let the symphony of stupid begin, Ugh.
I wonder what the turnout was like in terms of numbers.
Gah! Fuck these people, so very much.
Yet another photo to add to list of Tea-Bagger misspellings— “Mauritania” without the “r”, nice. I’m amazed he didn’t misspell “Niger” too, if you get my drift.
(And what’s the point of that t-shirt anyway? To “prove” the Glenn Beck idea that “black people are racist?” Or to somehow ask us to accept that “maybe slavery is OK after all”? I don’t get it.)
One of the greatest gatherings of idiots in our history.
Welcome to the Idiocracy.
Someone should unleash Beef Supreme on those people.
Is she sig heiling? She is evil and Palin and her tea-party cohorts are not to be laughed away. We need to not make the mistakes that the Germans made during Hitler’s rise, thinking him a harmless fool as he consolidated his power.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that these people are consolidating power alone or on their own. There are big, big monies behind this operation. The amount of exposure vs. number of people who attended is the exact opposite of what those of us who protested the US wars received here in the last decade. We had over a million people protest in one day, and there was almost no coverage. Today, these idiots are on the front page of every news service. The Nazis didn’t form their little group and take over Germany then Europe without help. If you really hate these people, boycott the people, the news stations, and the companies who still advertise on the news stations.

someone must have made a killing selling Brawndo at this rally

Bozo would have stood a chance compared to these halfwits .
it’s the devils way now… and there’s no way out. you can all scream and you can shout but there’s no way out.. because our country’s about as intelligent as they want us to be. ignorance is glorified. alcohol is fed to the youth. soon enough hopefully we’ll all be aboard black trains on the way to fema camps to get stuffed in one of those big black plastic coffins they got stockpiled. god blesh us.
To answer Marc’s question, the count I read was 300,000.
This is getting very disturbing. I was able to laugh at it before but now I’m frightened. Can you imagine Palin or Beck wielding the power of the US military?
GERARD999… It may be safer up here in Canada (for a while at least)
oops… the CBC is saying more like 87,000. Event Organizers pegged it at 500,000. Looks like no one seems to know…
CBS had experts take aerial photos to determine the crowd size. The experts “counted” 87000.

Remember all the hype and positivity on the left when Obama got elected—no man could ever live up to that frenzy of optimism, and sure enough Obama is at best merely “OK” as a president so far. Similarly, all the hype that Beck hurls out about how this rally is a turning point that’s going to change America is merely puffery—the tea-baggers will make a lot of noise, and hog the conversation, but they will go back to middle America and drink beer and watch football like always. The more they talk, the more most of America sees them as paranoid and delusional, and if you’ve talked to them personally, a lot of them are loudmouths who spit angry talking points and deny anything you say as “lies.” They are unreasonable, and as long as there are people on the left like John Stewart and Rachel Maddow calling them out for their faulty logic they will not be able to gain a sizable majority in American politics. This election in November will show us whether glomming on to tea-bag craziness helps GOP candidates or not.
