Anti-IWRC* Palin Rally: "I can see the end of your career from my house"

Here's an account of what happened at the anti-IWRC* rally by an Alaskan blogger:

Okay, so I'm just guessing, but I'd say at least 1,000 people lined the sidewalks of I street between 9th and 10th Avenues today and spilled over into the area of the Park Strip near the memorial to rally in support of holding our corrupt and despicable governor accountable. [...]

I'm not really sure who organized today's rally. I thank them, no matter who they are. Someone told me it's a group called "Alaskans for Truth". [Laffy Note: It is.] I'm happy to know anyone who actually prefers the truth to the crap we're served up by the Palins' surrogate family (a/k/a the scumbags named Ed O'Callaghan and Meghan Stapleton..... okay, I'll just say "people who look and sound like those two dudes" just to avoid any possibility that either of those two wretched bastards might think "scumbag" is defamatory). [...]

Still, today's rally was one of those moments - like the rally earlier this month by the "Women Rejecting Palin" - that reassures anyone who feels isolated in their contempt for the ethical, moral and political cesspit of Alaska's executive branch of government. [...]

They all have one further opportunity, of course: The statewide Obama rally set for October 4, from 1-4 p.m. at the Park Strip. [...] Perhaps by then our favorite governor will be back amongst us, having been tossed off...er... reluctantly forced to choose to depart the McCain freefalling Maverick Express to Hell.

This one is from a commenter at Mudflats:

Walt Monegan’s mother Betty was there! She thanked everyone for supporting her son - through her tears. It was very touching.

I am not a good estimate of crowd size but there were a ton of folks there. Lots of Obama supporters - but I didn’t see a single Palin/McCain sign.

The posters were incredible - one of my favs: “I can see the end of your career from my house.” The other one that was priceless - it was a photograph of Sarah with an EMPTY thought balloon! LOL! [...]

Great speakers - we even sang! [...] An Alaskan Native woman spoke about how SP has totally dissed the natives in this State.

A woman who has voted Rethuglican for 24 years got up and explained why she is supporting Obama and working to recall SP.

Lots of chanting to recall SP. [...]

Today is my birthday and I can say it was the best birthday I have ever had!

Some photos via. I have a lot more photos, which I'll post later.
