Suppose They Gave a "Religious Freedom" Rally and No One Came?

Another “religious freedom” rally was held on the west steps of the Capitol on Friday, with organizers and speakers reportedly very upset about the “lack of press coverage.” This despite the fact that the AP’s Kirsten Wyatt was indeed present, amusedly recording their complaints that no reporters were there.

We haven’t yet heard about anything particularly egregious said by speakers at this rally, in contrast to the prior rally where basically every subject was enthusiastically tied back to “the Nazis.” It’s possible that after the prior outing, the press was trying to do them a favor by ignoring them, but we tend to agree with the organizers that everyone in Colorado should watch these.

Albeit for different reasons.

Perhaps the most interesting thing that we’ve seen is footage from Wyatt of Sen. Tim Neville reading off desired GOP primary winners. Neville praised Owen Hill and Rep. Marsha Looper in particular, opponents of incumbent Reps. Larry Liston and Majority Leader Amy Stephens respectively. Safe to say, this wasn’t authorized by GOP leadership.

The question is, are Tom Tancredo loyalists dwindling in number, or was it just too hot Friday?
