After Obama’s inaugural, there were tons of trash left behind.

After Glenn Beck’s rally on the mall, it was almost spotless. The trash dudes had a very small job after that.

After the October liberal groups rally on the mall, it was again a huge clean-up job.

After Jon Stewart’s rally on the mall, there were only sporadic amounts of trash; the clean-up job was not as bad as was feared.

Different types of people treat our public spaces very differently.

The same with the Promise Keepers march, not a shred of trash on the mall.

But the AIDS march during President Bush's term was so bad that the maintenance people were declining to do it and special crews were hired to take care of the “medical waste”.

No doubt because the Tea Party rallies shamed them into cleaning up after themselves. I strongly suspect that had the Tea Party not existed, the Stewart rally would have been just as big a mess as all the other leftist rallies we've seen over the last 70 years.

It was the same deal when FReepers including JimRob descended on Crawford Texas to protest Cindy Shehags group.

They were pigs.
We, who far outnumbered them, left the place spotless.
