Liberal rally show large Power at nations capitol,

A collection of more than 400 left wing organizations, including the Communist Party USA and other socialist groups, descended on the nations capitol in what was billed as the "One Nation Working Together" rally. While no official crowd estimates were available at the time of this writing, photos of the event showed that far fewer attended this rally than the rally recently held by Glenn Beck. The New York Times reported that, "Tens of thousands of union members, environmentalists and peace activist" showed up at the Lincoln Memorial - the same site used by Glenn Beck. The Los Angeles Times said that "Thousands of activists from groups that support the Democratic Party" were in attendance.

The meeting started with an opening speech by MSNBC host Ed Schultz, whose message of "unity" was rife with with attacks upon conservatives.

"The conservative voices of America, they are holding you down," said Schultz. "They don't believe in your freedom. They want the concentration of wealth. They've shipped your job overseas...They suppress your vote," Schultz said.

Claiming the rally had the blessings of God, Schultz said progressives and liberals, "must fight the forces of evil, the conservatives in this country across the board want it for them." Schultz's message of "evil conservatives" was echoed by other speakers at the rally.

CSPAN carried the event live, and streamed it on their website, however, their website used pictures from a Glenn Beck Tea Party rally, as shown at gatewaypundit, apparently in an attempt to make the rally appear larger than it really was.

The rally was part of an effort by liberal organizations to bolster support for left wing causes and help Democrats stave off a major defeat in the November election.
