My rally's bigger than your rally

One Nation Working Together Rally: Day of Wingnuts - The Daily Beast:

the rally offered a snapshot of the fragile coalition that is the contemporary far left?a dizzying array of activist organizations and identity politics, with financial muscle provided by the labor unions who bused their members in.

I was pretty sure that this rally would be nowhere near as large as the "Restoring Honor" rally for a couple of reasons. First, they didn't have the GG Allin of Right Wing radio as their front man and second, I didn't even know it was happening until Friday (not that I would have gone, but that little buzz does not bode well).

What I find amusing about this, aside from the treasure trove of material that these morons just hand delivered to the right-wing press, is that it appears to confirm that our political process essentially been boiled down to a dick-measuring contest between crackpot talk-show pundits.

So Ed, Glenn, can you guys just get it over with? I'm tired of the rhetoric and to be honest, I'm tired of all of the pundits who claim to be "looking out for us".
