I know this gets tiresome: Hot Air sez…..
“Thousands” rally at Minnesota capital to “Kill the Bill”

Give the Star Tribune credit; they actually report that “thousands” attended a rally in freezing weather today to demand an end to the ObamaCare effort. Minnesota Majority staged the rally on the state capital mall to hear Reps. John Kline and Michele Bachmann speak to the gathered opponents of the overhaul of the health-care system, as well as several other speakers — including me. The Strib did better than the Associated Press, which went with “at least hundreds” instead:

I just assume the “thousands” claim is bogus because it’s repeated on a right wing blog. The pics are dubious. Who is the “Minnesota Majority”? Here’s their suggested reading list from Amazon….

The 5000 Year Leap: by W. Cleon Skousen (Birch society propaganda)

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (freakazoid fiction)

An Inconvenient Book: by Glenn Beck (more Birch society propaganda)

Taking America Back by Joseph Farah (birther idiot from World Nut Daily)

The Marketing of Evil by David Kupelian (another WND idiot)

Original Intent: by David Barton (WallBuilders idiot)

The Fair Tax Book: by Neal Boortz (easily debunked nonsense)

The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul (Ron Paul!)

The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton (A Favorite of right wing terrorists)

Why do I bother? This isn’t even a challenge anymore. At least the lefties under the Bush Regime were a challenge to fact check.
