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.

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.

Inocorrect, I quoted Stewart in post #146

But they have been explicit about one aspect: "This is not a political rally in any way, shape or form," Stewart told CNN's Larry King last week.

Not incorrect, post 150 you quoted what John Irvine wrote, after the NY Times quote on his page. I said you left out what he wrote before the NY Times quote, and added it.
