The National Organization for Marriage and Bishop Harry Jackson were expecting thousands of "Christians" to show up at today's rally in Washington, DC that was supposed to intimidate the City Council, which recently cast a preliminary vote in favor of recognizing same-sex marriages.

Peter Montgomery of People for the American Way and Right Wing Watch was on site for the festivities.

Jackson had a much smaller crowd than the thousands he had hoped for. As the rally began, there were well under 100 people; by the end there may have been close to 200. They were an enthusiastic bunch, shouting the Devil is a liar and other encouragement to the speakers. Jackson made excuses about how little time they had to mobilize, but promised to pack the Council chambers on May 5 for the next vote. Jackson said his group would be distributing inserts for churches to include in their bulletins this Sunday.

Also making an appearance was former DC Mayor and current councilman Marion "The bitch set me up" Barry.

1. maybe they should bring back slavery too - the bible is all for it nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. So Marion's still smoking the rock then?

Because you would have to be a crackhead to think it was a good idea to be seen with those batshit crazy hatemongers.

3. Yup, this turned out to be an all time backfire

Much like the tea bag parties, the response to this call to arms was less than enthusiastic.

4. "...by the end there may have been close to 200..."

the extra 100 that showed up were the panhandlers that showed up to work the crowd.

7. Gay Activists keeping tabs on them probably outnumbered the actual bibots. n/t

[ACTION BASTARD]

5. Epic FAIL!

The christo-fascists don't have the courage of their convictions to put words into action. Doing actual work for something other than themselves confuses and frightens them. Christo SS death cult members all mouth and no action.

Repukes don't know the meaning of the word sacrifice.

6. Shouldn't the IRS be informed? Political fliers in churches?????

Jackson said his group would be distributing inserts for churches to include in their bulletins this Sunday.

8. Policy Advocacy Is Not The Same As Candidate Advocacy /nt

9. Marion Barry has only been married 4 times

I am glad that he thinks he knows how marriage should be defined and who should be excluded. That Rev. Jackson is a real nut. In 2004 he said that he was called by God to help reelect George W. Bush.
:crazy:

10. Haha

Stories like this make me smile.

How awkward must it have been for the planners of the event? What if you threw a hatefest, and nobody showed up?

This is almost as funny as the 3-4 people who showed up to protest Obama visiting Notre Dame.

11. It was 5 anti-Obama protesters at Notre Dame. Three were left-wing anti-war activists. n/t

12. I am very disappoint

This makes me sorry that I've actually shook his hand
