Ok this is how the AFA is treating the rally in DC
Thousands march in D.C. to protest Obama spending
Nafeesa Syeed - Associated Press Writer - 9/12/2009 2:40:00 PMBookmark and Share

WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of protesters fed up with government spending marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, showing their disdain for the president's health care plan with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" and "I'm not your ATM."



The line of protesters clogged several blocks near capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Demonstrators chanted "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.



Throngs of people waved U.S. flags and held signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress" and "I'm Not Your ATM." Men wore colonial costumes as they listened to speakers who warned of "judgment day" - Election Day 2010.



Richard Brigle, 57, a Vietnam War veteran and former Teamster, came from Paw Paw, Mich. He said health care needs to be reformed _ but not according to President Barack Obama's plan.

Now credit where credit is due, they did not exaggerate the numbers.

After that

well, free speech and all that, but I still DO NOT agree with them and some of this is driven by race.

1. I love 1gnusNow if only so I can keep a finger on the pulse of insanity.
their ideas are so far out, so far away from rational thinking, that it is like a bucket of cold water in the face to read that stuff.

8. And as the cold civil war moves hot
that may get you or them killed.

When one starts thinking this way, one is thinking of the OTHER.
