My Photos from the One Nation rally. Also, a list of links to media coverage. Neither Rachel nor
Keith gave it even a mention, but at least someone did

My pix: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54629800@N08/
If you happen to read my titles and comments and notice errors (spelling, grammar, facts, etc.) in my comments, please let me know. This was my first time uploading to Flickr, and It failed to save my changes a number of times. I finally gave up and hope it isn't too bad.

Coverage links:http://www.freespeech.org/blog/how-media-covered-one-nation-working-together

An article decrying the lack of coverage:http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2010/10/06-6

Later I'll post my pix from the Rachel Maddow Show from the Deer Park tavern this past Tuesday. I only have a few and they kinda suck, but I was behind Rachel and thus right in the line of two giant lights. I'm still trying to see which ones are salvageable.

2. Does anyone know or guess what all this is about? Why no coverage, mention from KO or RM?

3. If I had gotten a chance to speak to Rachel on Tuesday, I was planning to ask her about that. The MS...
has their corporate owners trying to make the Teabaggers look mainstream, and showing that a large group of Americans disagree with them doesn't fit the bill.

6. LOL!! If you speak with her, tell I said hello. By the way, I was watching Katie Couric's show
America Speaks. (Don't ask me why. I'm at my Dad's.) However, I was pleased to see that only 22% of Americans align themselves with the Tea Party. Only about 1/3 of Americans see teabaggers in a favorable light. And the majority of Americans don't understand what the Tea Party is about.

Still, it's a mystery why the M$M treats this movement as "mainstream." Wait...no it's not! I take that back! The M$M does this because the Tea Party is really a front for Corporate America.

8. And of that 22% of American idiots, I'd love to know how many have the ability to tell you wtf they
are screeching about in anything but the broadest terms such as "I want my country back." How many of them would be willing to sit through an intelligent discussion of how the liberal agenda might be good for them, too, how balancing the budget of a nation is not the same as balancing the budget of a household, of how stimulus works, or of the constitution? Looks like willful ignorance has found its party. I just wish they'd call it that.

"The Willful Ignorance Party candidate was not able to attend Tuesday's debate. Believing her car was being spoiled by her giving it gas every time it ran out, Mrs. Lynch is refusing to fill 'er up until the vehicle gets off it's lazy axle and earns it!"

As for Rachel--too late for me to tell her Liberal_Stalwart71 sends his regards. Sorry. If only I'd known...
