Lefty Rally at Lincoln Memorial Gets Glad Handed By Old Media, But Event a Bust

Naturally the Old Media is doing its level best to pump up the "One Nation" rally. The lefty protest is gathering in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington D.C. today, Oct. 2. But despite the glowing reports by the media there is no denying the fact that few people have turned out for the anti-Tea Party event sponsored by some 400 of America’s most extreme left-wing organizations and their associates in uniondom.
Despite months of planning the event seems like a bust. Sponsored by dozens of unions and groups such as the Communist Party USA, various socialist organizations, Code Pink, the racist Latino group La Raza and other extremist groups, organizers hoped to energize the left just ahead of the midterm elections just one month away.
But the numbers that have turned out -- even with the streets full of union-sponsored buses -- pale in comparison to the Glen Beck rally that many feel the lefties were trying to emulate.

Still, the Old Media is putting a sunny face on this debacle. The Washington Post, for instance, says that the One Nation rally is "energizing Liberals," despite that few have turned out to participate.
"Progressive groups hope to draw tens of thousands of supporters to the Mall on Saturday and create a show of force that will rival the conservative tea party movement," the paper helpfully states in its first paragraph. But photos of the attendance clearly show that only a few thousand are actually in attendance.
