Michael Moore and others rallied the huge crowd in Madison on Saturday. TPM reports: According to reports on the ground, Moore rallied "thousands" with a rousing speech that focused on "three major lies" of the "past decade."
"Wisconsin is broke. There are weapons of mass destruction [in Iraq,] and the Packers need (Brett) Favre to win the Super Bowl," Moore said. "The country is awash in wealth and cash,"It's just not in your hands. Wall Street, the banks and the Fortune 500 now run this Republic," he added. WATCH the video
The AP reports the crowd "roared in approval" when Moore called on them to keep pressuring Gov. Scott Walker (R) to drop his proposal to end collective bargaining for thousands of state workers in Wisconsin. Moore also compared the struggles in Madison "to Egypt's revolt."
Moore tweeted from the rally, which was streamed live on his website.
"2 things I saw in the crowd in Madison: The thousands of teenagers & the thousands of ppl in their 70s & 80s! Most diverse demo I've been 2," he wrote.
The protest was the third "mega rally" of the Madison standoff so far.
