		<description>No, the dems are labeling anyone are they?  Pelosi called the town-hall goer &quot;un-American&quot; for hanging a senator in effigy and &quot;disurpting.&quot;  But what about all the times Bush was hung in effigy (she did not speak out then) and, during the Bush years, she claimed dissent and disruption were patriotic! (So did HIllary Clintion in a yelling, angry speech she gave!).  So, it is okay for the Left to do anything they want but, if the Right does the same thing, it isn&#039;t?  Talk about your double standard!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are not kooks egged on by talk radio.  Plenty of us got upet over Bush&#039;s policies but we were not heard then.  Obama promised hope and change to those of you dumb enough to believe him.  Well, we didn&#039;t get hope, but we sure as hell are getting a lot of change, and not the good kind either.  We have finally had enough.  It isn&#039;t just about Obama, plenty of us were upset over Bush and still are.  It isn&#039;t about Republican versus Democrat, there are democrats who feel the same as we do and republicans who don&#039;t.  It is about ideals not political parties.  We do not support Obama and Congress&#039; ideals of larger government, ram bills through before they can be read (google what Obama said about ramming bills through Congress when he was a Senator during the Bush administration; classic example of a lying hypocrit), out-of-control spending (quadroupling the budget deficit in one year!), and not being represented by our elected officials who are SERVANTS of the PEOPLE not the other way around.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do you understand what communism or socialism is?  How they work?  Do some serious reading on the subject and then look at Obama&#039;s ideals and policies and what Congress is doing right now.  If you do that and can honestly tell me what they are doing is not communist and/or socialist, hats off to ya; but there is no way you will be able to come to that conclusion if you take the time to do honest research for yourself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We have finally had enough, the last eight months have seen things speed up to a blinding pace, things are being done that way just so no one can possibly keep up with them all.  It is time for us to put a stop to what has been going on in our government for a long time; things we chose to ignore for a long time.  We have chosen to quit ignoring them now; it should come as no surprise to anyone.  Our very constitutional republic is at stake.</description>

		<description>Kathy, as you pointed out Jim DeMint said this about people carrying signs saying Obama was a communist and Pelosi was a Nazi:  &quot;This is not some kind of radical right-wing group. I just hope the Congress, the Senate and the president recognize that people are afraid of what’s going on.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don&#039;t know how others define radical right-wing group but I think characterizing Obama as a communist and Pelosi as a Nazi is as far out there as one can get.  I can only interpret this Republican leader&#039;s comments as saying this is what the rank and file Republicans believe and stand for these days- such uncivil and divisive language, which started under Bush.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m not saying divisive comments aren&#039;t used by the Dems, but the Dems as a group were never this bad.  Bush labelled his opponents as terrorist sympathizers for far less than this.  And yet I don&#039;t see the Dems calling the GOP unpatriotic or putting such labels on the GOP.  (Good for the Dems for refraining.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I also noticed other signs at the tea party claiming that Obama was eating away at constitutional rights of people. Quite frankly this is what Bush did for years and these people looked the other way.  They have zero credibility in my book.  These kooks are clearly partisans egged on by talk radio.  I thought the first set of tea parties were good for these people, because I thought they needed an emotional outlet and it is important for the government to see their concerns.  Though the most appropriate way is for the people to give their concerns to their representatives who will then pass legislation.  Of course the Republicans don&#039;t want to negotiate in good faith, so many of these citizens&#039; concerns go unheeded.  If the Republican politicians DID want to work with the Dems at least more of the citizens&#039; concerns could be addressed.</description>

Instead, it will use a Washington Post account that said 1.8 million people gathered on the US Capitol grounds, National Mall, and parade route.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;It is a record,&quot; Barna said. &quot;We believe it is the largest event held in Washington, D.C., ever.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
