I simply posted a link to a news report.
Again, I prove my point (about Romette making the addition to the post) and the libs go into attack mode. typical
First of all, Skippy, I'm not a Lib. I'm an
Anarchist. Yeah, really.
Second of all, you went to great pains in the OP to attempt to remove yourself from any political bias by quoting a British news source, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it was completely factually incorrect in its headline, because, I guess, no one in the world media has any interest in presenting a slanted or biased perspective on news from America
Not being content to merely link the article with erroneous information, you summarized it this way:
Today, estimates show that nearly TWO MILLION people marched on Washington today to protest Obama, his mandates, and Pelosi.
So, while many of you on this board cite a "lunatic fringe," that opposed Obama, I think this public display shows that this viewpoint is not some extremist "fringe" viewpoint.
Paraphrased: such an overwhelming demonstration is mainstream, not some astroturfed, right-wing fringe thing.
Let's put all this into some much-needed perspective.
The population of the country is
304,059,724. Two million is 0.657% of that figure.
125,225,901 Americans voted in the 2008 presidential election; two million is 1.59% of that figure. Statistically, these figures are incredibly insignificant, though if they were accurate, they would show that the organizers could really rally a large crowd and might be impressive. In reality, the 70,000 (to be generous) demonstrators is about 28% of the 250,000 people who turned out for Gay Pride in Washington in 2006.
But your lack of perspective really shows when figuring what impact
half of the two million you quoted would do to a city like Washington DC, with a population of
591,833, almost tripling its entire population in just a few hours.
Don't you think that a traffic snarl of of that magnitude would have been a huge story? How could the police have coped with it? Where would they have all used the toilet?
Are you really so sheltered and have so little experience in worldly matters that such thoughts never entered your mind, Skippy? Your need for validation and being part of something bigger than whatever pathetic little life you lead really overstepped your common sense. And that is giving you credit for having any.
You jumped the gun and made an error in presenting such obviously false information as factual, compounded it with smarmy comments and threw it out like a spitball at this community which you hold in such utter, obvious blind contempt. But like spitting into the wind, it's come back to glaze your forehead, making you look foolish in the process.
Give it a rest, Skippy. Your further attempts at justifying this thread just bury you even deeper in the acrid odor of the poor judgment you showed in the first place by posting it.
Now go pull up your socks and have a good cry.
