You mean that Italian-American, Espera Oscar de Corti, who called himself Iron Eyes Cody. Never trust anything produced by Hollywood, even (especially) commercials.
Dagnabit A.A.. you beat me to it. I knew I should have read the entire thread before posting about ole Iron Eyes’ real name and heritage. Most FReepers are way more aware and have greater knowledge bases than regular citizens, but I tend to forget that.
I've heard that it was a running joke in Hollywood that virtually all movie indians were members of the A-wop-aho (a pun on Arapaho) tribe as most actors used for those roles were Italians.

We were at the Beck 8/28 rally, and it was incredible (as was 9/12/09 in DC).
I can tell you for a fact that in the Beck photo, there were people crowded blanket-to-blanket under each and every tree you see in the pic. It was a HOT day in DC on 8/28/10. So there were even far more people at the 8/28 rally than you can see in the photo.
And everyone was kind, polite and helpful to people who had trouble walking, were in wheelchairs, etc. AND we picked up every last bit of our trash - as usual. The DC Park Police are always stunned that crowds as large as ours leaves behind NO trash. ;-)
Don't miss Matchett-PI's excellent animated graphic in #12 comparing the 10/2 crowd on the Mall with the crowd at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on 8/28/10.
thanks for the ping
How people handle their trash tells much about how people view their obligations to society and to others.

So very true.
It’s not just that they left their garbage, but it’s where they left it. Such disrespect and dishonor has no place in American government.

Just following the lead of their god, BenitObama.
Last night on the DU there were those saying they had twice as many as the 8/28 rally.

Well, let’s give them a pass; they can’t count and they can’t think.
