I'm thinking about heading over to the cesspool we call our nation's capitol for the 9/12 anti-government rally. As I understand it from local reports, there are fleets of buses heading out of Ohio for it, so I assume other states will have similar levels of participation.
Is anybody else here planning on attending? The local (Ohio) events have been no end of a good time, and it's a great chance to see that others against overwhelming government are normal, decent people and not the kooks the MSM are insistent on making us out to be. Plus, hey, it gets your voice into the debate, and lets you participate against this boondogle of a socialist push instead of just griping about it on the internet. Subscribe to *libertarians*

What is the significance of picking 9/12?

If I understand the reasoning correctly, it's because 9/12 was the day when the nation showed true unity and put politics aside for the better of the nation as a whole. Which would be pretty fitting, when confronting this cabal of socialist thugs intent on strapping us to the table.

I figured it was going to be fascist propaganda. I guess its not really worse than commie propaganda from demcrats but its still depressing.

No, why would it be fascist propaganda? It's the democrats who are in fact currently handling fascist propaganda (and socialist variants on the theme). This is essentially just what other rallies have been, writ large. That is, decent, normal people, the majority formerly politically apathetic, worried about where things are heading.

An appeal to anger, fear, militarism, and nationalism by referencing 9-11. Its pathetic really. These parties are being pushed by republicans like Glenn Beck. That should show you whose interests are being furthered.
Its republicans finding a way to drain public outrage for their own personal gain.

Well, there's a need to be angry, and a genuine fear of fascism/socialism is always justified. Ask any East German who climbed the fences. Nationalism was simply "let's put aside party politics", which is a bit different than "America Uber Alles". Where you get militarism, I just don't know.
If you haven't been to one of these, I'm not certain that your MSM crafted view can be taken seriously. Every one I've attended has had decent people at them, who were fighting mad at both Republicans and Democrats and said so openly. If you think this is some kind of "republican" thing, then you're sorely misinformed.

Just look at who is organizing a large portion of these tax protests. You find republican PACs behind them.
Some are legit, but most of this stuff if whipping up support for republicans.
Just watch. I won't need to tell you that I told you so.

The rallies we've had here in central Ohio were organized by a college sophomore who had some spare time.
Most of it is legit. There may be some Republicans wanting to tag along (politicians) but they're being booed.
Have you actually every BEEN to one? Serious question.
