According to the Freepers and Rush, the huge Philly rally today was fake
They think because many municipal employees were allowed to attend, then the whole thing was a big 'fake' rally.
It is mind boggling the amount of spin these people have to put on anything to convince themselves that Kerry has no momentum and 'real americans' hate him. Un-fucking-real.

4. well,
that justification for the size of the rally was courtesy of Andrea Bitchell, as she reported it.

I can't WAIT till Kerry just wins this damned thing, so those pseudo-news shitheads can just SHUT UP!

7. So, has Rush found a new supplier? Sounds like he's just as delusional
as when he was having the maid troll the Denny's parking lots.

9. more Freeper logic about the rally
it appears that Government workers aren't 'real people':

Clinton a rock star? Not quite. Maybe the Elvis of the Democratic faithful.

More dirty secrets...state workers in Philly were also given the afternoon off to swell the crowd. Of the 80,000, probably fewer than 10 % were private citizens, privately employed, not getting paid with taxpayer money for taking the afternoon off.

This has been going on in campaigns in PA from time immemorial. Pennsylvania wrote the book on political patronage.

And the poor taxpayers are left holding the bag.

13. Here is more of their BS that blacks are voting for bush this year
I think the spinmeisters have convinced them that maybe 10 blacks will vote for Bush, so they are playing it up like Blacks are defecting away from Kerry.

went to the rally. I'm sure there were many city workers there. However, my impression was that there were a lot of union, blue collar types. The thing that struck me was that there were so few Blacks there. If it's true they gave the city workers off, it's even more remarkable how few were there.
I said on another thread, if you emptied out the King of Prussia Mall which is located in a lily white suburb of Philly, there'd be a higher percentage of Blacks present than were at the rally in downtown Philadelphia.
