A Rule Of Thumb About Rallies

If there are weddings with more guests the same weekend in the same town as the number of people at your rally, then you're not a big player on the national scene and don't deserve news media attention.

Well, that is unless you reinforce one of their pet narratives. Then you'll get wall-to-wall coverage even if you can only bring 80 people to your event.

The annual March for Life is massive, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, but it gets nowhere near the media attention as a couple of dozen white supremacists.
The news media needs the white supremacists. It's a wonder they don't hire people to go to their rallies to juice the numbers.

The Progs thought they had it made with obama and so along with him have over reached, sixty years and more of slow patient work down the drain, no wonder their out of their tiny cotton picking minds. Cautionary note, still a lot of draining to do, sixty years work won't be undone in sixty months, maybe two generation's worth of perseverance and some luck.

....are you willing to lay money that they aren't paying any of them?

Foxie, I was free-writing this, like I do most of my posts, when that thought occurred to me. It wouldn't be hard to manufacture a bigger rally with a couple hundred bucks spent.

ligneus, no apologies needed. Ever.

Just means you're not as nasty and suspicious as I am. ;)
Thought it was an interesting twist on a standard turn of phrase.
