The Rally had about 20-25 people mostly young college aged with a few older democrats who saw this as an opportunity to push their agenda. The biggest being Carol Lutness who showed up with a suitcase full of political propaganda and was really only interested in talking with the press. Obviously Lutness missed the entire purpose of this rally and the rally in Washington DC.  These Rallies aren’t for or against a particular view point but are against the polarizing of the American people which in the last two years has been over the top ridiculous.  If you voted for Barrack Obama you don’t just have opposing political views, you are some how a secret socialist mole hell bent on the destruction of the United States!!! Really?

Luttness isn’t the only person who missed the purpose of these rallies.  Take a look at Bill Reynolds (notaferryfan) comment on the Signal article.

this rally sounds silly especially since you’re not promoting an actual idea or suggestion. Looking for middle ground? Please help me understand by providing your opinion of “middle ground” and what you consider “progress”.

Well of course this Rally sounds silly to a Republican Wingnut extremist like Bill Reynolds, who is prone to just repeat a position repeatedly and end his posts with “idiot” or “moron.”  He is a person who is unable to support the merits of his position with facts or reason, rather creating video after video framing his opponent in a way that makes them look like they are saying something they are not.  Must have learned that one from Hannity who has been caught on numerous occasions framing Obama’s comments or even completely misrepresenting video all together.

Overall I think the rally was a success.  It had about as many locals as Roger Gitlin’s minute man rally back in February. Gitlin and Save Our State had to promote for weeks and get every wing nuts from Santa Clarita to Victorville to show up to make it appear they actually have some kind of influence.

What would a public rally be without Tony Miano who showed up with his amplifier so he could preach some fire and brimstone to the passing motorists. One of the Rally to Restore Sanity sign holders told me he changed his sign to read” I don’t agree with him but that is ok” and an arrow point toward Tony Miano. Wish I would have got a shot of that.

Overall I thought that Rally goers were in good spirits and had smiles on their faces. More of this type of thing please.

Big Thanks

to the MUSE for the great film work.

Pastor Audie Yancy

This old school fire and brimestone Baptist preacher set off a little firestorm after the January 16th SOS rally when he prayed

First of all asking forgiveness. Forgiveness for the way we have allowed our country to be overtaken by those who are evil, those who would ruin our country rather than raise it.[*]

Pastor Yancy was up to his old tricks this last Saturday when he began yelling at the opposition from Answersla.org, at one point tell them to shut up. This caused their featured speaker George Runner to walk away from the event.

Frank Jorge

George Runner leaving caused Frank Jorge to once again blow is his stack and give this tongue lashing about George Runner. Frank Jorge temper tantrum at me.

Sam Ziselman

I don’t mind Sam, It is his site that is the problem.

Ray Herrera

This guy is looney, he just rambles about everything from WWII to the Pilgrims.

Mark Reed

Reed is a small time politician just looking for a platform.

Lupe Moreno

This lady is usually bonkers, She was on her best behavior this day.  I think she broke my ear drum with the shouting into the microphone.

Bill Reynolds

I am not a fan of Bill Reynolds as he isn’t a fan of me.  I have tried to have conversation with on SCVtalk before and he just resorts to name calling.

Roger Gitlin

Giltin and I have a history.  That doesn’t mean that I don’t think Gitlin isn’t a reasonable guy.  What frustrated me most was his associations with extremist like Frank Jorge.  I was glad to hear he is starting to see the need for another method in the Anti-Illegal Immigration movement. [*]

Ted Hayes

the Muse, Blazingmonk’s newest writer, wrote up a play by play on Ted Hayes who was probably the most animated and clown like of all the speakers. Click here
