Fox News: "Invoking Tea Party Anger, Thousands Rally in D.C. in Support of Dems' Agenda"- Tea Party?

[TomCADem]

Here is Fox News portraying the One Nation rally as a Tea-Party-like event while repeatedly invoking Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, Fox News employees. Yeah Fox News, its just like a Tea Party, except that it is not corporate sponsored, it does not feature an undercurrent of racism, and it is supporting Democrats.

More than 400 progressive and civil rights groups marched Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial in support of jobs, education and justice -- seeking to tap into the same anger that fuels the Tea Party movement.

Organizers, including the NAACP, La Raza and Code Pink, called it the most diverse march in history as they tried to rally their base around Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill.

"We are together. This march is about the power to the people," said MSNBC host Ed Schultz. "It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back?"

In a fiery speech that opened the "One Nation Working Together" rally on the National Mall, Schultz blamed Republicans for shipping jobs overseas and curtailing freedoms. He borrowed some of conservative Fox News host Glenn Beck's rhetoric and vowed to "take back our country."

1. Fair and balanced online only?

Hmm. Most of the FoxNews.com audience probably like Glenn Beck, so equating Schultz with Beck seems to be trying to make Schultz look respectable to the Fox News right-wing audience? :eyes:

4. RW likes to use "anger" and "Dems" in the same sentence. That's all this is.

A standard propaganda line from the RNCs playbook.

"Angry Dems, Angry Dems, Angry Dems!"

11. And TeaAsses are "concerned citizens voicing their opinions".

Amazing how much you can accomplish when you control the message.

5. Thousands? Wouldn't their own official crowd estimators put this in the millions?

Or even the TENS of millions?

:shrug:

6. When DAMN IT are we going to get the message out

that this is the country of ALL AMERICANS and not the privilege few who make up the tea bags, the radical republicans and fox. WE represent all the sane, honest and compassion people in this country. And IF WE HAVE IT we sure as hell are going to fight to keep it and not let the rabble take it back. AMEN.

9. Here we go! Thom Hartmann has said that this rally was planned long before Beck and Palin's was.

Wonder when that was, I've been using 'the google' and am unable to find anything before Beck's rally.

10. It was a rally of sane people, not a rally of ignorant, pigheaded, ignorant slobs
