Love the million man math comment, Sam. It's the new math, doncha know. Remember, it's not the numbers, it's how you feeeel.
140?
This article from today's Washington ComPost says a lot in what it refuses to actually come out and admit:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/27/AR2007012700629.html
The block of space they refer to DOES NOT hold tens of thousands of people, even if they are standing on top of one another's shoulders. I was on the Mall during the September 2005 protest the article refers to (due to that nasty socialist Cindy Sheehan, the protest intentionally coincided with our wonderful First Lady's National Book Festival) and there were absolutely no more than 20,000 people attending for protest purposes. I have to say, I don't think more than 10,000 were there for the protest event, but I'm no expert.
I have another frame of reference for this as well, as I did live here during the Million Man March, and you can tell the difference. I worked downtown, and while there were not a million people here for that, that crowd was certainly in the tens of thousands, and the difference is palpable. It was noticeably more crowded everywhere in the area, and even more apparent because it was held on a workday.
These people are not only treasonous, they have proven time and again to be dishonest in their intentions, their means (rent-a-protestor is real, there was actually an article in the ComPost last February that quoted homeless people who were brought in from other states on buses) are disgraceful, and not all, but many of them are crass, and a scary minority of them behave as anarchists.
This is all most unfortunate. Peace is a wonderful cause, and our soldiers are on the frontlines sacrificing their lives to acheive it, as most of you already know.
"..(02-21) 04:00 PST San Francisco -- A survey using sophisticated aerial photography of Sunday's anti-war march and rally in San Francisco has produced results that indicate a far smaller crowd than the 200,000 protesters estimated by police and event organizer.."
San Francisco had a lower turnout verified by aerial photography. Too bad DC didn't get that as far as I have heard.
There was also another picture of a soldier carrying either a dead or injured toddler. That one was very sad. No, we don't hear enough or see enough of things like this that our men and women over there do for others. The MSM should be very ashamed of themselves.
Susan Sarandon was there, but I did not actually hear her speak. Hanoi Jane was the star. These folks not only annoy me, but disgust me completely. They all earned millions of dollars here in America and love Communists, but won't leave America to live in a Communistic state.
Your'e right...
Tim Robbins is the same...
