Most of that is hatred of liberal ideology, and fear of the likely consequences if that ideology is played out as policy.

They are being led by the nose to fear liberal ideology- in toto, and its irrational.

Much of liberal policy has helped to improve the lives of the everyday working person and to also protect them from the abuses that would be caused by unregulated businesses. Its that same liberal ideology that led us out of the world of Sinclair's The Jungle.

glatt - Have you gone to both rallies or are you making that assumption based upon media coverage?

"They" very nice.

And you believe all the conservative policy is bad and icky. Gotcha.

Again, I thought the rally was a good thing (third time stating that point)
BUT ......
It was a political rally and there were negative and hateful signs there. I have proved that point repeatedly.

I have been to a tea party rally in DC and I know several people who attended the Comedy Central rally on Saturday, and I looked at their pictures and heard what they had to say. I also watched 45 minutes of it online.

Do you think your examples of "negative" sign photos are even remotely close to accurately portraying the vibe at the Comedy Central rally?

NO! Not at all - I NEVER SAID IT WAS!

Again ... I said the rally was a good thing (4x now)
I simply brought up the point that it was a political rally and there were hateful signs there as well. That is all.

I was pushed to prove both points and I did - repeatedly.

Thanks for clarifying that the pictures you posted and repeatedly defended don't reflect what you think. Surely you can understand my confusion though. I saw you say the rally was good, but then you started posting negative pictures and defending them. It seemed like you were changing you mind about the rally.

Why does an attempt at presenting all the observations made come out as confusing? Could it be he's making the effort to be complete? Deliver the whole of the picture?

I do believe sensible regulation is needed, especially in banking, but remember that The Jungle was essentially a work of fiction used to drive earlier regulation. Left to its own ends, the left would clog all economic activity with unrelenting regulation destroying mostly small businesses, which don't have the where-with-all to negotiate the red tape. The right, left to its own ends, would work to enslave and poison us all by protecting monopoly and subverting environmental regulations. Both parties seem to be working to shield big business from a competitive marketplace, which makes sense when you look at their donors.
