Reply #68: Yep...Repub owned Koch/Murdoch/Wall St. Media promoted Tea Bag "gathering"...but Dems don't have any

[KoKo]

folks pushing this. Labor and others were told to have a "low voice." That there was labor there at all is a good thing...but when you are told to "cool it" you aren't going to get the publicity this should have gotten. MSNBC did cover it...to be fair...I didn't check CNN because I rarely watch them.

Ed Schultz was promoting it on his radio show heavily. But, without funding for a blitz of the media and a split Dem Party...most folks would seem to prefer a comedian's gathering over the "regular folks" like Black Church folks who are trying to send Obama a message and labor which is torn.

The publicity sucked...because we just don't have a Murdoch, Koch Bros., Mellon-Scaife and many Big Guns on Wall St. promoting..

What a mess. I was proud to see all those people out there though! For that number of people to get on buses or drive to be there says there's something going on that could be built upon. Maybe more "staying power" than "Tea Party/Baggers" for the long haul ahead.

At least we should hope.
