Spokesmen for the National Park Service and “One Nation Moving Forward” said that the pictures and videos of garbage taken by conservative bloggers and websites, as well as The Daily Caller, are a misrepresentation of the liberal rally.

“I consider to be highly inaccurate,” said a very forceful NPS spokesman, Bill Line.

“To imply that this past weekend’s event is more dirty, contains more trash or is filthier than any other demonstration is not grounded in reality.”

2. this reminds me of when bu$h* went after clinton for 'trashing the white house'

when he and his henchmen took office...

sure, junior....it's right wing bullshit... when they can't win anything go for the cheap shot.

4. I thought of that also,

8. Very first thing I thought of as well, once the RW started carping!

:applause:

3. "not grounded in reality"

Remember when the Clintons trashed the White House, Air Force One and pried the "W" keys off the keyboards?

Yeah, me neither.

And be sure to K&R!

6. K & R! Well, what a surprise--the RW makes another mountain out of another mole hill. I'll admit, it

does bother me that any event creates such a mess, but it's good to know we didn't look bad in the eyes of those who know the facts.

7. How many turned out. I havent seen. nm

9. Oh, Christ. There wasn't that much garbage. I was there.

How fucking stupid.

ON EDIT: We mentioned at the time that there didn't seem to be enough trash cans.

10. And we saw the photographic proof, thanks to P2BLK

I'm proud of you both for being there!

No, the NPS never has enough trash receptacles for mass events. Another OP suggested we each get in the habit of bringing a few Hefty trash bags to our demos so we can police up after ourselves--what a great idea!

OT--Kudos again on your great find of the article re: The jungle of screaming souls. Heavy stuff, but very enlightening and worthwhile. :thumbsup:

11. Yeah, I wish it had gotten more recs. Thanks.
