Pretty lame, that rally.
I tried to watch it without the sound.
I couldn’t take it...I can’t even stand to look at Leftists!
This is definitely a “House Divided.”
Civil war will be the next act, I fear.
If you didn't start with the snarky "uh" you wouldn't look like such a stick when it's obvious you didn't get a simple gag.
I knew they were protesters your reply to me was obvious, so I gave you an obvious reply ....comment hijacked, point missed. sorry i said anything.
I'm sorry you did, too. Next time ask before you do the snarky "uh" thing and try to make it look like I was slamming our side.
I was there. There were thousands and thousans under the trees. I was one of them.
why is she wearing it like a mask?
only bandits and nerdowells wear masks.
Uh, I don’t remember “uh: ever being defined as snarky and folks often start sentences when one doesn’t know what to make of a comment.....I have taught college English, so I do know a thing or two about vocabulary. Simply put, I was not sure what your tone was...you did not use /sarc or LOL. Next time I suggest you do. Oh, I have no idea what you mean by calling me a stick, perhaps a euphemistic term for something else?
Maybe we just mis-communicated. But, rather than name calling, I will simply say, have yourself a nice day
On the CSPAN COVERAGE the award to Jon Huntsman who was not there as his granddaughter was getting married at that moment. Accepted by a cancer survivor..from the same hospital/center that Mr. Huntsman has provided for cancer victims. His dream was to die broke.
Glenn picked honorable and humble recipients..even a baseball player.
Have it running in the background--long coverage but important for all to hear. I should have gone many will echo..I..should have attended. :(
Look at a man's character not his color said King..
Let Old Al try to personalized MLK as only for his race--Sharpton is a crook! a cheat and a liar. Character is something Sharpton knows nothing about!!!
Alveda King echoes the same message..am still listening/watching. ReBuild America!!
The MSM especially MSNBC cannot ignore all these black leaders gracing the stage today of all backgrounds..there for all one message: To Rebuild!! To rebuild the change! Rebuild our minds, our hopes, our Faith..Building our building back stone by stone, rebuild our families up, stick together...America we got to...rebuild(lyrics to song song by Angelica Tucker)
{SONG}UNITY--.. LETS WALK TOGETHER..THAT'S WHAT WE NEED UNITY. A HOUSE DIVIDED JUST CANNOT STAND...EVERY CREED, EVERY RACE, EVERY COLOR..LET'S WALK TOGETHER IN UNITY........
I wish I had traveled there..I envy you.
this cspan link is a keeper!!!
Pony express has come a long way!
Thanks to the poster!
The New Carrollton Metro Stop was as packed as I have ever seen it for any of these rallies and marches that my wife and I have participated in. Two hour lines to get Metro Tickets. Fortunately we have a Metro Smart Card so we were able to get tickets quickly. God Bless all of those who stood in those lines to come down to this Glorious Event. To me, the event was very reverential. God Bless America!
illegal immigrant is suggested with face covered..living in the shadows is the message..
free speech is a right in the US
in Mexico, journalists are being murdered!!
media estimate 10’s of thousands (and the drove thing menitoned)
over 200 thousand
over 500 thousand
all media reports
so means much more
The people who have a problem with the date Beck that chose to hold the rally, are primarily the very same people who support building a mosque near the 911 burial site.
