Comparison DC Mall Pictures - Glenn Beck's Tea-Bagger Protest vs Obama's Inauguration

My guess is that it's because the protest was held on a Saturday. People called out of work on a Monday but weren't willing to give up their precious weekend. J/K

My guess is that the inauguration was legitimately a more historic and more profound event.

My first post in response to Marc's original idiotic post was simple. To anyone who agrees with him, you too are a tool! Let these morons talk amongst themselves. Save your energy and intelligence to post in threads where there is some form of rational thinking.

You can't compare the two. The inauguration was truly a historic event. That would have been true if black Republican sworn in.

The comparisons is relevant, only a moron would say its not.

The RW also LIED, as usual, about the turnout.

Protest Crowd Size Estimate Falsely Attributed to ABC News - ABC News

Only the Far RW nutjobs buzzing about in the hive attended, despite the months and months and months of constant promotion from GB and the FOXNews media, as well as the RW media talk show hosts. Everyone knows that the RW media is a juggernaut and not even their constant promoting produced a desired turnout. Just like Lush Rimbaugh's campaign against Obama didn't stop him from getting elected.

I really hope you rabid RWers keep up with your shenanigans, let the whole of America and the entire world see you for what you really are.

True, as was the Inauguration. Cancelled out.

Not based on facts or reality. Irrelvant.

And an election was ignored by the media. Idiotic.

Fascism ignores the opposition. Good luck with that.

No, not really.

The inauguration of a black President is truly a historic event. There will never be another day in history when the first black President is sworn in. Yesterday was just a tax protest.

A better comparison is to the anti-Iraq war marches or the anti-globalization mob.

The two are wildly dissimilar events. Both in scope, historical significance and efforts spent on the organization of them.

Why do people attempt to bring race into a subject that has nothing to do with race?
Is it because calling it hate and trying to claim that it is racially motivated is just easier than using facts?

The thing is that these people with their signs DIRECTELY attacking Obama that have NOTHING to do with the "true" issues that they are protesting(would mean a lot more if they had showed up during the last eight years) turns of ANY moderate or independents. My advise to any Republicans is reign in these FAR REICH EXTREMISTS because they are REALLY turning people off.


Oh and I think the one sign from the first tea party.............MORAN sums up these people.

Let's see the source which indicates that these people did not protest the war, for example. I'd like to know on what you base such a conclusion.

Michelle Malkin says it was 2 million. Fire and police say 30,000 is being "generous.'

The RW Media is calling it a roaring success. ABC News says...not so much.

I base my conclusion on the SIGNS they are carrying!!



Read the freaking SIGNS and then tell me that they are protesting health care/ taxes.


And if you could explain where all these "two million" people were during the BUSH admin the one that set our civil liberties and world standing back about 60 years while adding $5 TRILLION to our debt that would be worth reading.
