Thanks (4.00 / 2)

Did you see any opposition, Bruce? The #protestbeck twitter feed reported that 3 members of the opposition showed up and they just kind of stayed back out of the way. I guess Beck's supporters prefer to sit in their living rooms and watch him on TV - or spend big bucks to listen to him speak at the MICOC.

what the...? (4.00 / 3)

What the heck does the last sign mean?  "75,000,000 child slaves and counting"?

Some of those wing-nuts are the best advertising available for the Democratic Party.  Before next November's mid-terms, when more Americans are benefiting from being able to see the doctor, we need to pull up more photos like that for some ads.

On the left, we have passage of a health care law, which (lo and behold) hasn't had any death panels after all.  We also have a the stimulus bill which helped prevent a depression and save jobs.

On the right, we have the party of Joe Wilson, crazy lady from the Barney Franks town hall, birthers, and tea party demonstrators with racist signs.

I'm tellin' ya, next year is going to be a lot easier than the doomsday crowds are predicting.

There was some support for Beck (4.00 / 2)

and even one person that was protesting George Soros.  

I think the last sign is referring to everyone that voted for President Obama, even though he overshot the number by 5 million.

The Chamber invited an idiot to speak (4.00 / 2)

This is what Beck tweeted last night:

just got back from Unv. of Michigan. 29 anti Beck protesters ... 41 pro. All engaging in FREE SPEECH! Liberty still lives

The dummy didn't even know he was on the MSU campus! And the police estimated the protesters numbered about 250 people.

I didn't see Glenn Beck (4.00 / 3)

outside counting.  So obviously one of his supporters must have been doing the "counting."  

They must have run out of fingers and toes.

Billionaries for Weathcare showing up. (4.00 / 2)

Maybe Beck counted them as supporters:).

A voice in my head tells me not to be so mean to the conservatives.  I work very hard to ignore that voice.
