100,000 RALLY IN WASHINGTON AGAINST OBAMACARE
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, March 20, 2010, 11:59 AM
Over 100,000 Patriots Rallied in Washington DC Today Against Obamacare–
Hat Tip Ed
It’s Working…
Reports: Deem and Pass Is Dead!
The rally was called just two days ago and over 100,000 made it to Washington to protest the democrat’s unconstitutional take over of the health care industry.
FOX News reported:
Just days after holding a rally in Washington, Tea Party activists returned Saturday to make one final stand against the health care reform bill ahead of an expected Sunday vote.
Thousands of Tea Partiers descended upon the Capitol in an effort to derail the march toward “Obamacare” by pressuring undecided lawmakers to vote “no” Sunday.
At times protestors broke into chants of “Kill the bill!”
More than 60 Tea Party affiliates organized the event in the four days since Tuesday’s rally after organizers were flooded with requests to hold another one for those who couldn’t take off of work for the first one.
Saturday’s event featured actor Jon Voight, Reps. Mike Pence, R-Ind., chairman of the House Republican Conference, Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Steve King, R-Iowa.
Thanks to Ed for the photos.
Meanwhile Republican star Rep. Paul Ryan ripped outmatched Rep. Louise Slaughter in the House Budget Committee Meeting today. Ryan is outstanding.
Slaughter proposed her unconstitutional rule to ram through the democrat’s nationalized health care bill.
Glenn Reynolds has more photos from the Washington rally.

Thanks Jim — This is fabulous.

If the MSM doesn’t cover that rally, then it didn’t happen and the administration doesn’t have to acknowledge anything (not that they would anyway).
So then……. While everyone’s watching the death panel stuff, I’ve elected myself for paying attention to everything else.
Click on my name above to see some of the other news stories going on around (a post called “Waiting In The Wings”)……. including a huge three-way riot in England between Muslims and two rival UK organizations……… Plus…… Iran and Pakistan constructing a two-country-wide natural gas pipeline……… and…….. The Royal Opera Company presents: “Anna Nicole, The Opera”.
Cheers !

Bravo! Bravo!
Great to see people stand up for things they believe in. And in this case also for the right thing.
Andreas K. commented:
Kenny, there was a huge EDL protest in the UK. 2,000 British patriots stood up for their rights and freedoms, for the right to love their country, for their right to be British (well, we could split hairs now and say “English”, since there’s now a SDL and an IDL as well, but for the sake of simplicity let’s stick with “British”.) They were met by ~1,500 “anti-fascists”, who rioted. 60 leftists were arrested, including two of their leaders, who had called for riots and violence. 4 EDL members were arrested as well.
This protest is significant because, as far as I can remember, it’s the first time the EDL outnumbered the red fascists.
Hopefully this is a shape of things to come.

That woman Louise Slaughter is a detestable witch.

Deathmentum is building. Barry is the Master of Deathaster.
I was watching CNN at the airport yesterday while waiting for my flight. It was like a telethon for congresspersons flipping their votes to Deathcare 2010. Really depressing. How will they report the dying in the future? How will they explain how they cheered this sick stuff on? Detestable and feckless.

LOVE PAUL RYAN – he is the smartest man in the room.

Any bets the number of people is vastly underreported? Say… 35,000?

Kenny Solomon commented:
Thanks, Andreas. Much appreciated.
A friend of mine was there – in a building, not part of it….. Lives just outside of Bolton and was at work……. Said it looked like all the groups there (including the police) simultaneously started the ‘frolicking’ as he called it.
he said it was as if they all knowingly came together in Bolton just to knock heads.
Brenda commented:
You know Jim, I just scanned as many different “news” organization websites for any sign of the rally in DC today, under several headings, and NO ONE but Fox News has anything on all these people there today. It’s like, it isn’t real if they decide to ignore it.
Reuters has a picture of a Tea Party from December but no article.
At ABC there is an article about proposed marches for immigration, 100,000 projected, and another group that uses the same #, but NOTHING about what is REALLY happening now.
Several negative short headlines about healthcare that are a gross misrepresentation of reality …..
“Obama Slaps Boehner Over Finance Reform”….or
“STORMING THE HILL: Obama to Capitol to Rally Dems One More Time on Health Care”…..
BUT NOTHING ON THE SCORES AND SCORES OF THOUSANDS OF PATRIOTS WHO HAVE COME AGAIN AND AGAIN TO EXPRESS OUTRAGE over excessive spending and government intrusion and the socializing of our once Free Republic.
I am very concerned for my country. This is beginning to look like unabated totalitarian oppression.
Major Kong commented:
Tried to listen to Ryan’s explanation but Slaughter wouldn’t let him talk. Brother, if you need this much obfuscation to get something crammed through, you know it stinks to high heaven. Good on you Ryan!
Trevor commented:
I live in Virginia and just got back from the rally. I support everything 100%, but there is no way there were 100,000 people there.
Willow Rose commented:
Fox should have a one hour special on the Tea Parties that includes how many were there, interviews and PICTURES & VIDEO! Some one needs to provide honest reporting. It’s as if we don’t exist, even 100,000 of us!!! Yes, folks this is the birth of tyranny. Anti-depressants anyone?
iconoclast commented:
Pelosi forgoing Deem and Pass probably means she now has the votes to pass Obamacare. Not really good news, guys.

Drudge links video to Alcee Hastings:
“As the deal goes down, uh, as far as the rules go, we make ‘em up as we go along…”
(As best I remember it…)
Un-frickin-believable.
Kenny Solomon commented:
pm, the “esteemed” CongressCritter Alcee hastings happens to be my representative (FL-23).
Believe me, you can use much more clear and concise language when describing his actions.
He shouldn’t be in Congress…… He should be in prison.
I work for the gent running against him for the seat…… Bernard Sansaricq. Good guy – born in Haiti, former president of The Senate there….. his family was assassinated – he got out with his life and the clothes on his back.

Can we just phase out Medicare for good? Pick an age cutoff and be done with this.
saxton commented:
I’m totally against the Communist OBAMA sunni muslim in office. And his communist supporters. I am a true American. Northern Virginia demo-rats (Jerry Connley) support ISLAMICs & they allow illegals anything they want (especially the foster parent program-and Islamic schools) millions to illegals–and its definitely NOT-NOT for lovers??!! Thats a REAL joke. Fairfax demo-rats give some of the biggest support for CAIR and radical islamics in the US. The Fairfax women could win a war single handed with their mean, nasty attitudes. They also have some of the worst liberal teachers in the county. The majority of FAIRFAX don’t say excuse me, they don’t speak, they don’t smile–I’m telling you they are mean, mean, MEAN people. Don’t breakdown on the 7100 parkway-your dead, they will hit &run, they will kill you–they’ll run over you, honk, scream, and flip you off. They want all their kids put on retlin or aderol. Fairfax demo-rats are aliens (real body snatchers).
Old One commented:
To defeat the tyrants, the Barry Harry, Scary politburo, and the leftist loons who have usurped our Republic will take millions in the streets as it did in the Philippines, South Korea, and eastern Europe in the late 1980s.
I fear to few of us have the will, the fortitude, or the concern.
Liz commented:
Oh my oh my Ms. Slaughter seems to be mentally ill. What is happening to NY?
lyle commented:
The IQ gap between Ryan and Slaughter must equal five Barbara Boxers, a Chris Matthews, and twenty Charlie Sheens.
Becerra and Sander Levin came off badly, too. It’s terrifying that such numerically-challenged nincompoops only need a couple more votes to hijack our entire health care system in perpetuity.
Bruce commented:
We need Ryan on the 2012 ticket!
Indy Voter commented:
God Bless all who attended, you are patriots. I wish I could have been there, millions of Americans are with you in spirit.
Say no to tyranny!

Alana commented:
Those pictures – that’s not 100,000 people.
Alana commented:
Nor is it “hundreds,” as Newsbusters reports the Washington Post is reporting. Newsbusters also has a good picture. It looks like around 10-12,000 to me, going by that picture. Up to maybe 20, 25, tops.
Not bad, in any case. We can’t all go to Washington at the drop of a hat. I’m proud of everyone who was there.
CT commented:
I thought Louise Slaughter was the one Representative dumber than Pelosi (naturally Chairwoman of the Democrap House Committee on Rules), but then Reps. Becerra and Levin spoke up. Paul Ryan has the patience of Job, I couldn’t speak to the astoundingly stupidity of the Democraps in that room.
mbabbitt commented:
I think you can see what the difference is: spinning the benefits of out of control socialist government expansion on the one hand in political gotcha talk; or the clear delineation of rational ideas that address the problems defined with free market solutions that get the job done. Either BS or actual logic. Unfortunately, BS will probably win with these losers in Congress.
Carbon Monoxide commented:
Where is Slaughter from? That is not a W. New York accent. Carpet bagger.
ogee commented:
My sentiments. She must be a plant from the south.
Peter Warner commented:
It seems clear from watching those nine minutes of exchanges that the Democrats in leadership positions are not familiar with Rep. Ryan’s plan. How can that be? How can they have arrived at this late stage without considering the minority proposals?
Obviously, they have never seriously considered the various proposals presented by the minority party. They’ve been ignoring them.
This is government by mob rule, and it is not legitimate.
May G-d bless America, and may Freedom prevail.
Peter Warner.
Allen Funt commented:
Exactly, why make totally unrealistic claims about the size of the crowd? It just makes you look foolish.
A Conservative Teacher commented:
According to the Democrats, everyone at this thing are shouting racist, anti-gay, anti-meat, anti-blue, anti-Jew, anti-water, anti-feet, anti-nice, anti-happy evil mean hateful bad wrong unfair unjust comments. Some websites suggest that if these 100K people were all brutally killed so that healthcare could pass more easily, the world would be a better place. I kind of think the Democrats are unhinged.
CCFK commented:
“This is government by mob rule, and it is not legitimate.”
Where do you get off making a statement like this? You’re going to claim that if the bill passes by a majority vote as per the rules of Congress that it isn’t legitimate? How exactly does that work? And what does it say about your understanding of politics that you could make such a farcical claim. It’s obvious that you don’t understand how the American political system works, and would be more comfortable in a system where crying like a child when you don’t get your way is an appropriate response, along with veiled threats of violence. I’m so tired of listening to America-hating tea party supporters pretend to love their country while seeking to undermine everything it stands for. I see that the “T” in Tea Party stands for traitor and treason. Good luck trying to convince people you’re right when all you care about is destroying the American system of government.

Um, FNC is significant, and meaningful, and legitimate, but not part of the Mainstream Media? Perhaps this is another one of those situations where it’s convenient for it to be one way sometimes and the other way other times, therefore both sides are true. Sometimes. I’m not buying it, any more than I bought that the public option was so undesirable that only 6 million people would enroll in it, but it was so attractive that 90 million people would stop using private insurance and enroll it it. Which is it?
Remember the old song, “they will know we are Christians by our love, by our love…” Look around. You see any noteworthy love being exhibited by that crowd, who largely claim to be Christians?
Deb Phillips commented:
I also attended the 3/20/10 “Kill the Bill” rally in Washington and covered the event as a freelance photographer. It was great that so many came with only two days’ notice. Despite House passage of the unconstitutional, overreaching health-care bill late Sunday night, let’s not give up. There’s more work to do.
Keep on keepin’ on, everyone. Right will prevail.
