ABC Sanitizes Left Wing Rally, Excludes Communist And Socialist Signs

Good Morning America on Sunday recapped the liberal One Nation rally held on the nation's capital, Saturday, but skipped any mention of the socialist and Communist themed signs seen during the march.

These are some of the signs that were featured during reporter Tahman Bradley's segment: ""Peace, justice, equality, hope, change," "Fair trade, not free trade," "Educate every child," "Full and fair employment" and "Silence GOP lies." However, signs with the Communist Party USA logo, posters reading "Capitalism is failing, socialism is the alternative" and "Build a socialist alternative" were not.

Individuals with books such as the Communist Manifesto and The Jewish Question were also avoided. Interestingly, on Saturday, GMA's Deborah Roberts actually asked Ben Jealous of the NAACP about communist infiltration of the rally: "Now, Glenn Beck has said to some of his viewers and listeners on the radio, that among your organizers are Communist Party members and the New York City Democratic Socialists of America. What do you say to that?"

Roberts also had no follow up to Jealous' odd answer: "This is a big tent...You'll see Jews, Christians and Muslims. You'll see black, brown, Asians. You'll see everybody here from both parties who believe that tax cuts for the richest one percent at this time is crazy."

People from both parties attended the rally? Were they socialist Republicans?
