something epic in US history.
When a million-plus people show up today at the US Capitol to oppose Team Hopenchange, The Left/Mainstream Media declare it, um... well... er... y'know... um... WHAT THE HELL ARE ALL THESE RACIST RUBES DOING ON THE LAWN?!?...
Best comment today came from Brendan Steinhauser, lead organizer of Freedom Works (via Vodkapundit):
“I understand Nancy Pelosi is out of town, but Madam Speaker, if you’re watching on TV, we just replaced replaced the grass on the Mall with astroturf.”Indeed. Who knew the GOP and FoxNews had THAT many paid operatives?
UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds has more, including this video.
UPDATE: Lots more at Shout First, Ask Questions Later.
UPDATE: It seems a lot of "flyover country" flew into DC today, as the claims of 1-2 million anti-Hopenchange protesters today appears to be more accurate. The best the American Mainstream Media will admit is, um... "thousands". No surprise there. If the 1 - 2 million number is confirmed, today's march sends a message that the current powers-that-be in DC ignore at their political peril.
UPDATE: The numbers appear to confirm 1.5 to 2 million marched in the anti-Hopenchange protest today, quite possibly making it the largest protest in Washington history. It's the Conservative Woodstock. Which The Left/Mainstream Media will work very hard to spin away and/or ignore.
UPDATE 13SEP09: Good point - "Two million people with jobs."
UPDATE 13SEP09: Many, many more pictures worth seeing. The Conservative Woodstock indeed.
UPDATE 14SEP09: A comparison of trash after large gatherings in DC - - heartless, polluting conservative rubes vs. caring, hug-the-Earth Lefty busybodies.

Although my family wasn't able to attend, many of our friends did. It was quite funny to hear the media coverage of the event while we were getting updates and photos from the front lines.
I'm really convinced at this point that Congress isn't going to know what hit them come Nov 2010.
Our Baton Rouge paper, The Morning Advocate reported the attendance as being in "the tens of thousands."
And it was so important that it rated page three coverage.
When the socialists get swept away in the 2010 elections, just maybe journalists will take note.
