Reds march on Washington: OneNation fail rally.

[Quietus]

One Nation, Under Marx, With Slavery and Poverty for All?

Obama Ain't No Socialist -- We Are, We Are!

Proud Socialists March at Left-Wing Protest in DC

Luckily real American patriots still outnumber the socialists.

After paying for their transportation with Union dues...


then handing them a swell pre-fashioned sign to hold, manufactured by productive socialist workers...


The 400 separate groups of socialist and union activists evidently couldn't match the turnout of one group.  The Tea Party, We the People.

Socialists trash Washington DC

However, it seems unfortunate that the Greens and Environmental groups didn't get on the busses.

Watching this lolfest on Cspan today was incredibly entertaining.  I can't wait to see what comes of the Stewart/Colbert rally, that should contain even more hilarity.

Chances that these socialists will vote Democrat in November?  100%.  Chances you will see any of this covered in the media?  -100%

You spend way too much time on this crap.  I didn't even hear about this rally until Friday afternoon.

I think Colbert/Stewart's will be a lot of fun.  They're the only investigative journalism getting done on cable anymore.

I realize that it won't have the attendance of Beck's rally, but I also didn't realize that was the point.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think stewart is hilarious.  Colbert, meh not so much.  However I wouldn't quite call it investigative journalism.  It is just comedy, and if the only source of one's news a pretty sad state of affairs for that individual.  I would very much like to see Stewart's take on the rally.  I imagine it would go something like this...

Fisrt he would show footage of Obama during the healthcare debate


"They talk about me, as if I'm part of some marxist plot!"

Then he would show all the Marxists marching at the failnation rally.  Then he would zoom in on the marx book store set up at the rally.




Pamphlet to show how horrible capitalism is and how great socialism is...Only $3!

See Palidius, I could be a writer for his show.  Unfortunately I'm not Jewish, and according to Rick Sanchez I'm therefore not qualified.

See, that's funny, because I'd say the EXACT same thing about Fox News.  At least Comedy Central isn't trying to masquerade around as a legitimate news source.

They're the only investigative journalism getting done on cable anymore.

I didn't say anything about newspapers, the internet, or scholarly magazines in there.  I think that anyone that relies on cable alone for information about what's going on in the world is at best naive, and at worst an idiot.

Now that's just plain silly.  The reason they destroy everyone else in the ratings is because they don't happen to be part of the journ-o-list.  Just like the VOA and BBC broadcasts competing with Pravda analogy that I made before.  I'm sure the VOA destroyed Pravda channel 1 news in the ratings as well.

People tune into Fox news, to find out the stories that the rest of the 'news' does not wish you to know about.  Plain and simple.

I would disagree with that 100%.  For cable is the only way you gain access to Cspan (other than the internet).  I would suggest that anyone who relies on someone else's opinion, instead of directly watching events and forming their own, is the idiot...  Whether it be blogs, newspapers or 'scholarly magazines' as you call them.

The other big change in the dynamic undermining the state controlled media narratives, is the rise of 'citizen journalists.'  All over the country, they're taking a video camera and going up to politicians and asking them the tough questions nobody else will ask and then putting their answers up on youtube.

Like the infamous 'Phil Hare' episode, where a citizen presses him about the constitutional authority for the healthcare bill.  A question no reporter in your list of 'investigative reporting' sources ever asks.

Phil Hare doesn't care.

His response?  "I don't care about the constitution."  It's not like he swore an oath to uphold and defend it or anything!   

Myself, if I were in the room I would have reminded Phil Hare that the original wording of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" was "Life, Liberty and Property."  But again, you only know that if you actually well...knew that.  You don't end up knowing that by sitting on the couch watching Family Guy or Big Brother.  You only understand such things if you actually educate yourself.

Democracy, finally, rests on a higher power than Parliament. It rests on an informed and cultivated and alert public opinion. The Members of Parliament are only representatives of the citizens. They cannot represent apathy and indifference. They can play the part allotted to them only if they represent intelligence and public spiritness.

Luckily the citizens over the past year have become informed, they are demanding the same of their politicians.  Politicians on both sides of the isle.  As you can see here the republicans traitors get just as much flack as the democrat ones.

LoBiondo doesn't know the US Constitution

Tbh, that guy is a true American patriot.  If he ever ran for office I'd move to New Jersey just to cast a ballot for him.  I would also laugh out loud, as the media ran story after story calling him a "radical racist extremist this that and the other aphobe."

[Pallidus127]

Right.  Fox destroys the ratings of other "news" stations because they tell more of the truth.  It's not at all that they've closely watching their ratings to see what sells and what doesn't and tailor their message to what the most people want to hear.  That could never happen.

Notice how I put other "news" stations in quote?  That's because I don't consider any of them superior.  They're all corporate owned, which means that none of them is in the business of truth.  They're in the business of entertainment.  Profits.  What gets the most viewers.  Fox is unique in that they're better at it, and have absolutely no shame.

Fox News is exactly what Paddy Chayefsky predicted in his 1976 move "Network".

For cable is the only way you gain access to Cspan (other than the internet).  I would suggest that anyone who relies on someone else's opinion, instead of directly watching events and forming their own, is the idiot...  Whether it be blogs, newspapers or 'scholarly magazines' as you call them.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would even call CSpan journalism and especially not investigative.  Investigative Journalism should be things that require investigating - not turning on your TV, watching lawyers speak in antiquated language and forming an opinion on it.  While the Senator from Washington is introducing cap & trade legislation, the investigative journalist should be finding out why.  CSPAN would show the lawyer pitching his cap & trade legislation.  The Journalist should show proof that the same senator has invested millions in a big solar company and show that perhaps this Senator's interests are not really aligned with the public's.  Perhaps it's a little more complicated than that.

So yes.  CSPAN is important, but by no means are they journalism.  That's ridiculous.

and another point in reference to

I would suggest that anyone who relies on someone else's opinion, instead of directly watching events and forming their own, is the idiot...

I would have hoped you would clarify that statement.  I can watch a chemical reaction between two compounds and proceed to tell you my opinion of what just happened at the molecular level; or I could listen to the opinion of someone much more educated in Chemistry since I don't know too much about what I really just saw. 

The intelligent person should realize that they are more ignorant than someone else on certain topics and defer to the more educated person's opinion, no?

Of course they do.  Let's take a look at what they're selling.

-The entierty of the rest of the 'news' is reporting Colbert's embarrassing comedy testimony.  The second narrative that day in the media was Rep. Weiner's committee investigation into Glenn Beck's evil sponsors.

-Fox news?  They were running lead stories on the second whistleblower stating that the Justice department was refusing to prosecute cases of voter discrimination against white people for political reasons.  The Colbert testimony was a minor tid-bit.

So is it possible, do you think Palidius, that what people are tuning into fox news doesn't quite equate to what your opinion of it is?  That it's information you can't get anywhere else, not to be entertained by pretty women and stunning set backdrops?

I don't think anyone in their right mind would even call CSpan journalism and especially not investigative.  Investigative Journalism should be things that require investigating - not turning on your TV, watching lawyers speak in antiquated language and forming an opinion on it.  While the Senator from Washington is introducing cap & trade legislation, the investigative journalist should be finding out why.  CSPAN would show the lawyer pitching his cap & trade legislation.  The Journalist should show proof that the same senator has invested millions in a big solar company and show that perhaps this Senator's interests are not really aligned with the public's.  Perhaps it's a little more complicated than that.

So yes.  CSPAN is important, but by no means are they journalism.  That's ridiculous.

Cspan is not journalism.  That's what makes it such a great resource.  Cspan is the way news should be.  You get to watch what happens, without any editing, unfiltered and in it's raw form.

I would have hoped you would clarify that statement.  I can watch a chemical reaction between two compounds and proceed to tell you my opinion of what just happened at the molecular level; or I could listen to the opinion of someone much more educated in Chemistry since I don't know too much about what I really just saw.  

The intelligent person should realize that they are more ignorant than someone else on certain topics and defer to the more educated person's opinion, no?  

The intelligent person, upon realizing their ignorance, embarks on rectifying that deficit of knowledge.  The 'more educated' person's opinion could be a load of horse-shit and you would never know.  That is certainly the case with your 'investigative journalism' sources.

Just look at the economic problems we've had since the democrats took control of congress.  Those 'educated people' upon which you choose to rely instead of figuring things out on your own tell you it's everyone's fault between "Republican deregulators", "Big greedy corporations" and everything in-between.  However the real truth is easily available to you, but you have to go look yourself.

Any sensible person knows that the economic collapse started in the housing market, with a bubble that burst.  Well, the question you would have to ask yourself is how did this bubble come about?

How the Democrats betrayed America

And yes, this video is footage from Cspan.  So much for those 'investigative journalists" you rely upon to spoon-feed you an opinion.  If you can find an archive of this footage shown on any mainstream media outlet, if you can point me to a single reporter questioning a democratic politician about their involvement with Fannie/Freddie in regards to the housing bubble, I will give you $1000 and a pound of weed.

There was a Time Magazine article, I guess one of your 'scholarly magazines' on the "Top 25 people to blame."  Curiously, Barney Frank, Maxine Water and Chris Dodd are nowhere to be found!

Bill O'Reilly flips out on Barney Frank - BANKING CRISIS mad screaming match

Oh wait, there was ONE media outlet willing to press Barney Frank on his involvement in the collapse.  Of course, these sort of things have nothing at all to do with their soaring ratings, and the plummeting ratings of traditional media?  Please explain, Palidius.  Please explain!

dude wtf is all that commie shit in those vidz??? isnt that the washington monument behind them? that ugly chick in the last 1, she is from Cali like me... she is a dirty whore n nobody can stand her, but blacks keep votin 4 her anyway but i heard she is goin 2 jail or somethin soon!!! did i hear it rite? she don't want 2 stop givin loans 2 people with bad credit???? is that a fucking joke or somethin????? maybe i will rite her a letter and ask 4 a free house when i turn 21! 

fuckkkkk 

[Quietus]

dude wtf is all that commie shit in those vidz??? isnt that the washington monument behind them?

Yes, that is the Washington Monument they are marching in front of as they head towards a rally to show support for the Democrats this election.  You won't see that footage anywhere on the TV news (except one station), and every newspaper article on the event will simply describe them as a generic "liberal activists such as labor and environmental groups."

Of course, Palidius will somehow try and tell you that this is an example of the 'investigative journalism' hard at work doing their job.

that ugly chick in the last 1, she is from Cali like me...

That was Maxine Waters, yes.  You also heard her correctly.

The Republicans tried a few times to reign in fannie and freddie before it was too late, the klaxon was roaring loudly, but each attempt failed when it would reach the Senate.  You see, back then the Democrats were the "party of NO" and loving every minute of it.  With the slim majority in both chambers of congress, the Democrats only needed to threaten or hint at a filibuster and legislation would die.

The Senate finally made some strides to end the Democrat's perpetual obstruction, by the formation of what was termed the "Gang of 14." with defectors from the Democratic Party.  But too little too late.  I can't wait until after this election, when the Democrats after 4 years once again take up the proud mantle of the "party of NO."  The contortions of reasons in defending such actions will be interesting to watch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_of_14

she is a dirty whore n nobody can stand her, but blacks keep votin 4 her anyway but i heard she is goin 2 jail or somethin soon!!! did i hear it rite? she don't want 2 stop givin loans 2 people with bad credit???? is that a fucking joke or somethin????? maybe i will rite her a letter and ask 4 a free house when i turn 21! 

fuckkkkk 

She and 7 other members of the congressional black caucus are all under investigation by the House Ethic's committee.  However she's not going to jail quite yet.  Apparently, while the democrats could find time for Colbert's testimony and time to investigate Glenn Beck's sponsors, the democratic chairman of the Ethics committee curiously could not find the time to schedule any of their trials before the election.

What will happen after the election, is that the trials will move quickly.  The will immediately claim that it's a political lynching by racist republicans because they are black.  The media of course, will do all they can to help push that narrative.

And yes, they will likely all be re-elected to their seats, obvious corruption or not.  Sadly 85% of the black population pulls a lever instinctively because of color.  Somewhat the opposite of what Dr. King said we're supposed to do.  If a black guy decides to think for themselves and become a conservative, he's immediately branded an Uncle Tom.  J.C. Watts, Clarence Thomas, Condeleza Rice... down the line that's what happens.



Case in point, Marion Barry, democratic mayor or Washington DC.  Caught on video smoking crack and getting busy with a hooker, when the FBI was investigating him on federal corruption charges.  Famous quote on TV, "Bitch set me up."  Jury deadlocks due to blacks on the jury believing it was a 'racist conspiracy' against him.  Subsequently spends 6 months in prison do to tax evasion...

...Then gets elected to City Council after he gets out.

But of course, if you're a republican, owning a Ouija board when you are 16 disqualifies you for holding any office!  I can only imagine what the media would say if she were caught on tape smoking crack with a hooker during an FBI probe!
