CSPAN Live Coverage "Peace"/Anti-Bush/Anti-America march in NYC [LIVE THREAD]

CSPAN ^ | August 29, 2004

[Catspaw]

I only caught the tail end of it on Fox News, but someone unauthorized got inside Madison Square Garden. The USSS took care of it, but I didn't caught what "it" was.

(My first thought, was, of course, Medea Benjamin.)

[gopwinsin04]

I thought the official count was taken in a public area like Union Square? (and they even havent gotten there yet!)

[Graybeard58]

appreciate the pics but they are taking forever to open and I have a cable connection. I have to wonder about the folks with dial up.

[olde north church]

anyone hear the USA chants and i heard something about communists for kerry

[tgslTakoma]

I fully expect that someone from Commie Medea Benjamin's "Code Pink" will infiltrate MSG this week and stage some kind of illegal action..."

[NormsRevenge]

another pinkie said that education wans;t being fuinded adequately,, lol

did she see the size of the budget for education the last few years?

If problems exist dispensing monies, beat up the states that dawdle and don;t take advantage of what is in the public feeding trough.

But NOOOOOOO. It's all Bush's fault.

[mylife]

looks as if theyve blown their wad

[Trteamer]

Your right! I can clearly hear the chanting "Communists for Kerry!" The true colors are on display today.

[pepperhead]

Wonder if it point the right way. LOL

[Graymatter]

I see flags hanging from the buildings but not in the crowd. There's a hammer and sickle...

Too bad one of these gangs didn't bring a batch of US flags, then we'd see all the others in the hive turn on them and sting them.

[BurbankKarl]

The police channels are going bonkers...someone is on the radio calling in officer downs, etc.

they are wondering if the demonstrators are doing it.

[gopwinsin04]

The protestors are now trying to disasociate themselves from the people on bicycles with baseball bats who were arrested..

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

These people are either the most uniformed individuals on the planet, or the most deceptive. The comments they're making are stunning. (You're right - no follow-up from Mr. SPAN. Of course.)

[rocky88]

"This is the biggest, most disorganized march I've ever seen by clueless, butt-ugly people!"

Lemmings going over a cliff, hopefully.

Though I desperately have to fold the laundry and get another load started - I cannot tear myself away from this train wreck. Sad, huh.

[jhw61]

"Here come the environazis with their huge Mother Earth ball."

Wonder how like all the smokers lighting up around them..shame on them..polluting the earth.

[Musket]

And ain't that just the truth. THEY MISS THE DEAD. Ever since Jerry left they've lost their direction.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

LOL

[don-o]

What's it been, an hour? 1000 per minute?

I don't think so. It might be around 25K

[Pharmboy]

LOL! EXCELLENT line...

I still can't get over that line from the one pink lady who was cute..."more public space for our bodies..."

[rocky88]

"Seems crowd thinning a bit. "

Yeah, mumblings of "This sucks. Let's go break a Starbucks window or something.."
