Ive looked at at least 100 of the signs and yours is the first of that kind that I've seen.

classicman · 11-01-2010, 10:59 PM

No kidding - Thats the point. They aren't being shown. HELLO??? THIS THING ON?

Pico and ME · 11-01-2010, 11:14 PM

So you saw the ones not being shown?

Come on, Classic, share more.

classicman · 11-01-2010, 11:28 PM

Google them yourself.

How about putting a link with that quote.

Its your point. Back it up. Otherwise, I am just going to continue with the assumption that signs like that were rare.

Pico and ME · 11-02-2010, 12:04 AM

In fact, Classic, here is a site that is tallying the signs. So far they have 350 to list and they are so not like the one you showed that my assumption still stands.

That's fine with me. I never claimed anything other than that they were there and a quick Google search gave me some without any trouble. There is no point in putting any more up. How many would I have to put up anyway? 5? 10? 100? And to what end? Whats the point?
It doesn't really matter.
The point is that the mainstream media didn't point out one, not one. And there were plenty there. Were they in the minority? Of course. But again, As far as the mainstream media reported it, it was a love fest against extremists. That simply wasn't the whole truth. I have no intention of convincing you of anything. It was a political rally and there were hate signs there. Inconvenient for you - maybe, but facts nonetheless.

from NBC...

Quote:

In his Washington Post column Sunday, Robert McCartney wrote that though “the crowd was wary of admitting it,” it was “decidedly partisan and decidedly liberal.” Though attendees told him that they “wanted less anger and more thoughtfulness in public debate and media coverage of what ails the nation,” follow-up questions showed that most thought “more calm debate and rationality would inevitably lead to adoption of pretty much the entire campaign platform of the national Democratic Party.”

Despite all this, the rally was good for democracy. Stewart genuinely believes in respectful debate -- he has chided audiences of his show for booing conservative guests, and he has a good relationship with some right-leaning media peers like Bill O’Reilly. But the rally also showed that intolerance of other views is not merely a right-wing phenomenon.

Bold mine.

Just for fun ... Here is another pic.

But those very very few signs didn't define the rally. The hundreds of other signs did. See the list at the link in my post above.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Pico and ME · 11-02-2010, 12:26 AM

Heres hundreds more for you to look at, Classic.

He's not gonna look! He's too busy bursting his buttons over a rally.

Pico and ME · 11-02-2010, 12:28 AM

He's being twerpy about this whole thing.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-02-2010, 12:29 AM

But you left out he lead in to that quote...

Quote:

Jon Stewart’s “restoring Sanity” rally on the mall in Washington, D.C. tomorrow wasn’t supposed to be political based on what Stewart himself has said but attendees are planning for a liberal love fest and the mainstream media will be playing along.

Stewart pitched this to Comedy Central as a publicity stunt, but considering his audience, and being the first opportunity for people to demonstrate their displeasure with the hate rhetoric, the attendees made it political.

When money talks, it spews hate. The ads on television are 1% vote for me, and 99% vote against him.
