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.

To: Rhino369 (#4) 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 guess its not really worse than commie propaganda from demcrats but its still depressing. Rhino369  posted on  2009-09-09   11:37:53 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #7. To: Rhino369 (#6) 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. “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” —President George W. Bush Rhino369  posted on  2009-09-09   11:48:46 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #9.

Perhaps they realize they have been sitting on their rears for to long. Repubs may be exploiting it, but the outrage is real! Then again perhaps the people are using all the attention to help further their cause. Nah, never mind, can't be. phantom patriot  posted on  2009-09-09   12:16:57 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #11. To: phantom patriot (#9) Finding a way huh.

Yea right, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and all the Freepers, suddenly see the light, except they won't admit they were wrong for the last 9 years of Bush? Stop your wishful thinking. Repubs may be exploiting it, but the outrage is real! Most of the outrage is just republican outrage at democrats, at society, at whatever they don't like. They aren't serious, they aren't smart, and they will elect statist republicans, who will change nothing. There is a portion of them who are legit, these people grouped around Ron Paul last year. They are only a tiny portion. Want to test this out. Go to a Rally saying, end the war on drugs, and end the war on terrorism. See how fast they call you a communist. Nah, never mind, can't be. No it can't be. Its republican astroturfing over the campaign for liberty grass roots. No way did Fox News have an epiphany that freedom after all is really a good idea.

I saw plenty of anti-wod and anti-homeland security/TSA/Patriot Act signs at the last one I was at. Also saw lots of "Who is John Galt", lots of Ron Paul support signs, lots of Jefferson references/quotes/pictures. Its republican astroturfing over the campaign for liberty grass roots. That's a word I hadn't heard until DNC operatives started throwing it about recently. Odd that you use it.

To: SonOfLiberty (#21) (Edited) That's a word I hadn't heard until DNC operatives started throwing it about recently. Odd that you use it. I think I've heard it before the past few months, but can't be sure. Either way its a cool term that describes the situation perfectly. If you think that makes me a democratic operative, that just makes you paranoid. But if the DNC wants to send me some money I'm game, I never turn down free money.

To: Rhino369 (#28) If you think it describes the situation perfectly, then I can assume you've actually attended tea parties and other rallies in this vein recently? Right?
