Denver Anti-'Stimulus' Rally
Here are some pictures from the brief rally on the west state house steps by people who are as dismayed as I am by the bill which was signed into law today a few miles east at the Natural History Museum here in Denver.
I didn't do too well with identification of the lesser names speakers before my camera quit working. Below, bald with a beard is night talk radio host John Caldera, who was the ad hoc MC.
There was a guy with a sign with a swastika inside the O in Obama. He was the darling of the media after the rally ended. I asked him if he knew about Godwin's law. He did not, but wanted to know what it was. I told him 'the first guy to mention the Nazis has lost the argument.' He nodded and smiled but thought he was right to point out the lefty/fascist connection. There could be a connection.
There were lots of big checks in the amount of $30,000. I never learned where that figure came from.
The problem with getting a lot of people who will be negatively affected by the bill to gather and complain is that most of those people have jobs. Thus, there were only about 500 people there. I went on to get a record from the Court of Appeals for a brief due in about a week and when I get back, the thing was over. I didn't even get any of Michelle Malkin's roast pig.
