i'm not sure that the point of the rally is to get a bunch of people to go to dc in order to stand around being all beige and moderate. i think it's more to get people who aren't of the neo-fascist persuasion to turn out. it's also by extension a challenge to infotainment outlets like faux news, which has been fundamental to creating the tea party by giving it very considerable air time. so you can see how this sort of thing builds on the image of itself. well, on that and millions upon millions of dollars courtesy of those fine kansas koch brothers and other ultra-rightwing capitalist oligarchs.
so moderate in the sense of not the ultra-right. moderate in all kinds of senses.
it's an anti-tea party action. you get that, right x-man?
