Late Night Video — Emergency Default Crisis Rally

Filed in National by on July 31, 2011

The American Dream Movement called for supporters to rally at the Congress last Thursday, that resulted in a few hundred folks who showed up to send a message to Congress asking for a debt deal that was fair for ordinary Americans — no cuts fo Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I noted in a comment recently that this rally was held on the same day that the teajadis also rallied — with far fewer people (most accounts note that there was more press than ralliers), yet wall to wall coverage in the MSM. The MSM was nowhere near as interested in the progressive rally, although as the American Dream blog post notes, there was some coverage on NPR and in Roll Call. Here is some video (about 2 mins, 30 secs) of the rally from the American Dream people:

And the tejadis who rallied that day? Behold:

And yet this is what got all of the coverage. Go figure.
