So says us liberals :) I think others might disagree is all.
And just to keep this as the last comment. Glenn Beck recently had a rally on the Mall. This rally was -- as far as I know -- the reason John Stewart organized this one (and kudos to him for it).
This is what organizers of the previous rally noted:
> the "Restoring Honor" rally isn't about politics. It's to pay tribute to America's military personnel and others "who embody our nation's founding principles of integrity, truth and honor." (I don't think this is from Glenn Beck himself, but is from a CNN article on his rally quoted from organizers)
All I'm trying to say is all rallies such as this are political by their very nature. AND, whenever a group--left or right--wants to appeal to or sway more moderates, they will build their messages around how this is not political, this is no longer about left or right, this is about sanity, patriotism, building a better future, etc. This is pretty basic political marketing.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I am a fan of this upcoming rally. I'm just calling it how I see it, for whatever that's worth.
