Wasn’t it “Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer”?

Not this group — just a similar sounding name?

The coalition came together out of political necessity, Paul Starr, a professor of public affairs at Princeton University, told the Post,

In other words, the very opposite of "grassroots."

Without the blind enthusiasm, bush-hate, and novel oratory flim-flam that went with the 2008 elections, I don’t believe all these different groups can get along with each other long enough to be effective.
But you’re right in that money will play a factor and it’s gonna start seeping in - along with the usual demorat red-herrings and floated “news” that MSM will happily do drivebys with.
But I’m willing to bet any public gatherings of this “grassroots” effort will be in sharp contrast to the simple, focused, patriotic Tea party affairs. Cue the loons from Code Pink..... OK bring on the New Black Panthers... Come on all you pot legalizers - try to keep up. Could be like Mardi Gras.

This should be a real yawn. Let them try. It will be like watching paint dry.

If they’ll just have their meetings under the big top they can make a few bucks selling tickets to the freak show.

Small nit: You have them slightly out of order. The slogan was:

“Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuehrer.”

Yea, pretty much.

The thing that they don’t seem to “get” is that they’ll never reproduce the energy of the “Tea Party” movement with a top-down, organized-by-diktat organization.

The other thing they’re not “getting” is that one of the reasons that the “grassroots” of the left aren’t going to get fired up like they did in 2008 is that The Oneness hasn’t delivered jack-all for them. Sure, he signed a healthcare bill... that even the liberals are starting to loath. Gitmo is still open, we’re still in Iraq, etc.

From their perspective, Obama’s administration has been a huge disappointment. As a result, they’re just not going to get all that fired up...

As its first major goal, One Nation is planning a march in Washington Oct. 2 that will push for progressive ideals including more government spending on job creation.

A Hippie Circus just before the election....priceless.
