It seems that the most important thing about yesterday's DC Klan rally was
 
"how many people were there?"

Why does everyone, including the MSN (the first thing I heard out of my teevee this morning was Alex Twit asking someone how many people had attended the protest), obsess about the number of people that showed up? Are they looking for some validation for their racist, conspiracy-fueled wackiness - a lot of people means they are right in their insanity? Well, if they themselves are so hung up on, and seeking validation in, the numbers, they must not be all that confident in their message.

But, but numbers were important when people were going to see concerts and 0Bama put in an appearance afterwards.  Numbers were important when all his unemployed faithful showed up for the inauguration.

1. Yep - as long as no-one says it, it doesn't exist. So all resources are put towards...
   
preventing people from saying it.

Yep, that's why the MSM downplayed the numbers. That's why the MSM ignored the Van Jones story until AFTER he resigned.  :mental:

2. Numbers indicate support levels
   
Below 100,000 = fringe group of idiotic cranks.

100,000 - 200,000 = watch out, this is something that could become a movement

200,000 + = MAN BATTLE STATIONS, WE HAVE A MOVEMENT ON OUR HANDS!!!!!

You betcha. You, well not you idiots, but the Dimrats in congress had better suit up.

6. They've spread the lie and the lie becomes their truth
   
IT's no different from the Birthers.

The birthers have decided that Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen and thus no rational argument will alter that.

The Teabaggers ahve decided that 70,000 = 2,000,000 and thus no rational argument will alter that.

They even go so far as to take a decade old aerial photo of an event on the mall and claim it as their own, just as Orly Taitz has taken not one, but multiple obviosly fraudulent "Kenyan Birth Certificates" and made them real.

It's a psychosis.

Stop projecting.  The incidence of mental illness at the DUmp is 50+ times higher than the general population. Liberalism is a mental illness.

A small campfire, but one that still illustrates their level of fear and stupidity.

Well it seems that not only did dissent being "Patriotic" die on 20 January 2009...so did the importance of the number of people showing up to a political rally.

It seems to be of some importance to the moonbats to accurately post how many members there are of the Hive.  And I would bet that there were more people there Saturday than show up at G-7 meetings to trash cities.   
You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

The hypocrisy of DU is just stunning, isn't it? Not so much that they are hypocritical - we expect that - but the fact that they so unashamedly put their hypocrisy on display within the Hive when it has to be so obvious to one another, and yet no one there bats an eye over it.

It takes some deep-seated personality disorders to be able to shrug off those kinds of double standards.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value.

I thought I saw somewhere that the National Park Service is the one that came up with the 2 million number.  Don't they work for the Obamessiah?

I`m not sure it is all that difficult for them given the liberal "mind".

They don`t actually think they just have beliefs with walls around each one so as it can`t touch a contradictory belief.

What happened over the weekend was seeing with their own eyes the fact that not everyone agrees with them like they think.
They saw the general population rise up to oppose them.
It wasn`t some oppressive force as they believe.

Some of those walls in their minds crumbled and they are frantically rebuilding them is all that is happening.

Oh dear, not quite like the Code Pink protests that were a mandate.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
