HILARIOUS --- Obama's OFA holds massive (30 people) rally at NRA HQ
February, 23, 2013 —
We haven’t seen crowds like this since Sandra Fluke went on her Free Contraceptives tour, last Fall.
[ As in when she drew crowds of 10 or more passersby to college campuses and SaknSave parking lots. ]
Obama’s left-wing agitation group, Organizing for Action, called for a “Day of Action” on Friday to promote stricter gun laws and judging from this picture, about 15 people showed up. The LA Times reported that the protest drew “about 30?, which seems like a high estimate, but maybe some of the throng was off camera.
The protesters, dressed mostly in black, marched silently in front of the NRA’s glass-and-concrete building in a suburban Fairfax neighborhood, the quiet punctuated by the occasional honking of cars passing by. “2050 Gun Deaths Since Newtown,” read one sign. “Don’t Want Background Checks? What Are You Afraid Of?” read another.
“What we want to do is prove we’re not afraid of the NRA,” said Joanna Simon, a retired government consultant who organized the vigil as part of the Reston-Herndon Alliance to End Gun Violence, a group of former Obama campaign volunteers.
The small turnout underscores one of the challenges facing Organizing for Action as it gears up its efforts to promote Obama’s legislative agenda. The group, set up by top advisors to the president, is relying heavily on local volunteers to sustain its work.
Volunteers? They weren’t paid to picket? Oh – well that explains the poor showing, I guess.
COMPARE the pathetic death march above, organized by the president’s own top advisors, to the Day of Resistance grass-root PRO GUN rallies that were held all across the nation, on Saturday.
