Comparing the cleanliness of the post-Beck rally to the Barackalyptic Inauguration Weekend

[웃 910]

There was a huge "Restoring Honor" rally at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial Saturday, but you couldn't tell hours later given how clean the National Mall was:

Compare that to how this area looked after Inauguration Day on January 20, 2009:

The Left in our nation is always depicted by media sycophants as concerned with the environment.

By contrast, these same people always paint a picture of the Right being exclusively focused on profits with total disregard for nature and ecology.

What do these two videos say about this "conventional wisdom," and will Obama-loving media members in the post-rally coverage of this event point out to readers and viewers just how clean our National Mall was left by these awful, greedy, right-wing extremists?

There is often more debris left behind after a gathering of 2 million people versus a gathering of 80,000. Liberals often refer to this phenomenon as "math."

And when the 1-termer leaves office +60 million Americans will celebrate.

Well if you're going to pull out the big-gun non sequitur retorts, I am clearly outmatched. Warn me next time! Mommy!!!!!

Begging the question of how the other 190 million or so will feel...

It wasn't a question of there being debris in both vids, and just having more of it in the second one. There looked to be NONE in the first.

Libs can't pick up after themselves? Oh wait, it's ok cos 1,999,999 others were littering too.

In the first vidio there is a huge pile of gathered trash already bagged. There is no wind and folks are wandering around in shorts. The party, much smaller for God Beck has been over for an unspecified length of time.

The second video the wind is cranking, the party much larger, apparently much closer to the event ending. How much of the trash was blown in, unverifiable. How often the area cleaned in dead of Winter? Also unknown.

The truth is we have seen this same mountain of trash strewn about at all these lefty type gatherings, I don't care if they are political.... WoodStock, or even Earth day events, the Left is typically more likely to be public pigs.

What is this, some kind of performance art? I can't tell whether you all are serious or not. The way you guys sit around looking for random, nonsensical things to jab at is really pretty bizarre and disturbing.

The only part that upsets me is that it's not totally random. The choice to make a "point" about the "dirtiness" of an enormous mixed-race crowd celebrating the election of a black man versus the "cleanliness" of a tiny lily-white crowd gathered together to be fat and nonspecifically resentful is telling, to say the least.

The point itself is utterly without merit, but the way you are able to inject the freshly invented "argument" into the discussion without having to justify its existence, prove it, or make it useful in any way is basically trolling on a grand scale. And you love it, and it gives you a smug thrill, and the dishonesty and intellectual laziness and ugliness of the tactic bothers you not one iota. Gross.

Posting non stories like this is only proof of the fact that some posters couldn't recognise real news if their lives depended on it.
