BARBER: SAVING THE BABIES?

We'll give the Rev. Barber and the NAACP some credit - they can round up a lot of organizational names to throw on a website for their shindig on Saturday. And I'm sure he'll be working to polarize folks even more.

One thing did strike me as peculiar on his list of folks. While clearly many of the groups on his Partners List would feverishly support abortion choice, I see no listing of Planned Parenthood anywhere. I'm just wondering if the Reverend and NAACP have tired of palling around with a group founded on Margaret Sanger's eugenics push and the racial undertones it held. She was all about breeding out the underprivileged in society.

If that's the case, then we'll tip our hat to you on this one.

In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye - "Save the Children."

Here's one of our favorite Marvin clips from coincidentally an NAACP Operation Push Concert:

Enjoy.

REV. BARBER - THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE ON JONES STREET...

How about taking time to urge that someone with state government remove this sign.

You did your HKONJ rally right beside a plaque honoring a woman who can rightfully be blamed for the ecological genocide of millions of Africans.

Who is it?

Rachel Carson. Somebody your environmental buddies who participated in the HKONJ march probably worship at the feet of.

She was quite successful in eliminating the use of DDT to fight malaria - particularly in Africa - thus resulting in the deaths of millions of Africans that continues to this day.

Thanks for propping up the leftist environmental movement Rev. Barber. It sure seems to be serving your brethren in Africa well.

DANTE STROBINO AT RALEIGH FIST IS ....

A. Not a good liar

B. Blind

C. Very poor counter

D. Juvenille leftist

E. All of the above

In Dante Strobino's blog post at Raleigh FIST, with the nifty Che Guevara picture clearly identifying them as real socialists, he stated:

Almost 10,000 people gathered in Chavis Park before the march....

If you even had 1000 people down at Chavis Park, that would be stretching it. I guess if you call the rally HKONJ (Historic THOUSANDS on Jones Street) then you can just say 10,000 and assume people won't know better.

You had over 80 leftist groups together with paid activists and you could not get beyond say, 10 - 15 per group?

You can see the real crowd photos here:

Or if you like, you can count below. These photos were taken at the peak of attendance at Chavis Park.

DEAR "REVEREND" BARBER....

Before you go and portray myself and thousands of other folks across North Carolina as "phony" citizen activists, may I direct you to something you may be more familiar with.

YOUR OWN HKONJ RALLY.

In a struggle for relevancy, you had to get 80 (WRAL says 100) front group/non-profit leftist partners to parade around downtown Raleigh earlier this month as "real" citizen activists. And at best you could only muster a crowd in the hundreds.

Who's phony now?

MORE REGURGITATED HUNDREDS OF LEFTISTS ON JONES STREET PHOTOS

HKONJ?

Cue the music.


HKONJ? Hardly.

Thousands .... No

Historic ..... No - just a lot of regurgitated leftism.

Only WTVD locally had the numbers correct.

It's a clever way to distort numbers. Have a decent enough crowd in the hundreds and the media will just go along with the "Historic Thousands" mantra.

A far cry from the crowds during last year's election cycle. Of course that was a MBM - money based movement.

You can check out the video footage from YouTube here:

Actual march footage

Actual march footage from a distance

General organizational footage from Chavis Park

Reverend Curtis Gatewood says blacks are still being lynched but does not tell us how

Overall video footage of crowd

The fact is that HKONJ had about 80 partner organizations and between them they only turnout a crowd in the hundreds on a decent weather day in February. WRAL says you had 100 partner groups.

On arguably one of the coldest days in January, NC Right to Life had a much larger crowd - in the actual thousands. You can see the video here.

Beyond the "Socialism Now" sign that accidentally popped up on the WRAL footage, here are some pictures of folks from other front group/non-profit partners.

HKONJ HIGHLIGHTS VIOLENCE ON BRAGG STREET, UH MAYBE NOT

You would have thought that when HKONJ marchers met in Chavis Park on Saturday, February 14, 2009, some lip service would be paid to the violence plaguing this community. Camden Street is just blocks away in one direction and Bragg Street just blocks away in another.

Not a mention. Nothing.

They did help to highlight Bragg Street though and completely unintentionally. In order to put on their show, traffic was diverted around MLK boulevard. That resulted in a caravan of drivers being diverted onto Bragg Street to navigate around the "march."

In due fairness, there was an outcry against violence. Violence against pigs that is.

flesh, milk, eggs .... products of violence.

There ya go.
