Open Thread – aka “Poetry Afterglow”
2009 September 12
Open thread…but just to throw a hunk of red meat in the cage, the Left is claiming all the photos of the march today were fake! (old photos re-touched from Leftist marches). Their “theory” is based on their assertion that there is NO WAY that many could have shown up on their own to oppose Obama.
I wish I was making that up!
cheers!
Justrand
credible estimates now place the number around 1.2 million.

1.2 million is not bad. I was hoping for 2 million even.

A commenter at HA saw this from the NYT:

He can run, but he can’t hide!

Inc – They starting to sing Hey Hey/Ho Ho when Glen Beck’s field reporter was live from the crowd, but it was just 2 lines
[7]
Maybe there were some old Viet Nam protesters turned conservative there! That’s the era of the original
Hey, Hey, Ho Ho
LBJ has got to go!
[8]
I hated the “hey hey, ho ho’ers”. Lame and stupid.

Well, RWY, you have to consider the amount of illegal substances that those crowds consumed–brains not working too well, you know.
[10]
Indeed.
[11]
Sorry Inc – I am dead wrong. I came back and read that agin. On Beck they started to sing Hey, hey, hey, goodbye. My mistake.

Fake? There is a reason we call them nutroots. They are living up to their moniker.

As Mr. Obama traveled to Minnesota on Saturday to rally support for his health care plan, he flew over the assembling crowd in Marine One. The helicopter could be seen flying overhead as the demonstrators marched down Pennsylvania Avenue.
I wonder if he spit out the window?

Here is a flattering picture of Captain Bullshit addressing the crowd in Minnesota.

I 100% believe that the DEMs are going to ram the public option through with ZERO GOP support. Their anger and fear after this wwekend events is showing on interviews with Fox news. For example the DEM pee-on that was part of Geraldo’s panel. The left is shell shocked from the crowd at the DC march and they have no answer.
[16]
Hahahahahaha don’t know what’s more funny that they thought they were faked in general or that they couldn’t figure out why a flag might have been at half mast this morning which is even more telling. I’ve said it before you just can’t parody these people anymore.
BTW the fact the bambi helo’s took off and flew over the event just goes to show how much he was lying again today when he claimed he was unaware of any protest event today in DC. Hahahaha yeah right mr. president.

A former Guantanamo detainee named Mehdi Mohammad Ghezali has reportedly been arrested in Pakistan on terrorism charges. According to the Associated Press:

The 12 foreigners were arrested Aug. 28 in the town of Dera Ghazi Khan. Police said at the time they had allegedly sneaked in from Iran and were planning to travel to the tribal areas. One was carrying a laptop computer and $10,000.

EPH,
5 R Sens will cave in allowing a couple of D’s to vote no.
The Dems can kiss the House goodbye.
