***EMERGENCY PROTEST OF NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE***

5/16/05 | Starfan

[StarFan]

Outraged Freepers in the Tri State area are asked to join us in protesting Newsweek Magazine tonight. We will meet at the Newsweek Building, between 56th & 57th Street at 4:45 p.m. onward.

Signs are welcome.

Can't make it from GA, but make sure someone has a "Newsweek lied, people died" sign.

[TFine80]

Cool, I may be able to do this... Is this with a larger group or just Freepers?

Any talk radio plugs?

[chapin2500]

Newsweek lied -- Dozens died.

[wvobiwan]

Give 'em hell FReepers, wish I could go. Maybe march from there to the NYT HQ - might as well get two for the price of one.

[Semper Paratus]

Atler, Issikoff, Thomas, and Clift.

Weasels all!

[Osage Orange]

Can't make it from GA, but make sure someone has a "Newsweek lied, people died" sign.

May I suggest a small but subtle change..?

"Newsweak lied, people died"...

FRegards,

[eyespysomething]

LOL, even better!

[thegreatbeast]

Newsweek suscribers should ask a credit for this one edition. That will make the publisher look up and take notice.

[the Real fifi]

BRAVO!! GOOD LUCK--Compare it to BHOPAL

[TFine80]

Or:

Newsweek = WEAK NEWS

:)

I'm working on a sign right now... Any other ideas out there?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

A CA Freeper wish you all good luck. Wish I could be there, but the corporate jet is out of town. :o)

"Newsweak, weve got blood on our hands."

[Congressman Billybob]

Be sure to have some copies of Newsweek which you can rub on your backsides.

Here's my suggestion for a poster:
Newsweek
Can't Tell
Shi'ite from
Shinola

Congressman Billybob

Latest column: "We Have Seen the Light"

[Osage Orange]

Newsweek suscribers should ask a credit for this one edition. That will make the publisher look up and take notice.

They should just put themselves out of their misery...and cancel their whole subscription.

Of course...I don't hold Newsweak subscriber's in very high regard...but that's beside the point.

FRegards,

[July 4th]

Oh, that is cruel! He's a dead man in Afghanistan.

[wvobiwan]

How about: Newsweek = Al Zazeera/West.

[lesko]

Give 'em hell - you've got support here in Cheyenne!

[politicalwit]

""Newsweek lied, people died" sign."

That should read "NewsWEAK"

[ken5050]

"Spikey"

[Brilliant]

Now we know "why they hate us." It's because of the anti-American propaganda spewed by the liberal media.

[StarFan]

Is this with a larger group or just Freepers?

With such short notice we're lucky if we can get a sizeable group of FReepers. Hopefully those working in the immediate area will see this and join in. Spread the word.

[Brad's Gramma]

Bumping the thread.

[TFine80]

How about:

[ And you still WONDER why they hate us!?! ]

[NRA1995]

Having this fantasy of Liberty Valance throwing the editor of Newsweek on a table face up, making him eat his news story, followed by mercilessly whipping him

[melancholy]

Turn the "W" around and make it NewsMeek!

[Palladin]

Good luck with the protest.

Spike Spikey Isikoff!

[Osage Orange]

Keyboard KILLERS!!

Journalists Kill!! Ban Journalists!!

Ignore the Propaganda...Focus on the DEAD PEOPLE!!

I love my Country...It's the Main Stream Media I fear..!!

Newsweak publishes, therefore they are dangerous

Don't lie. Newsweak hates competition!!

[melancholy]

And you still WONDER why they hate us!?!

A good one and very true!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!!!

[hunter112]

Great poster slogan! You always dazzle me with your brilliance!

I have to say, I'm of mixed emotions on this one. I mean, even if Newsweak hadn't done this, would I ever subscribe, or even pick one up in a dentist's office? No.

I'm quite happy to have the liberals protesting their buddies in the lamestream media. Here at FR, we've known that most national news magazines aren't fit to wrap fish in.

Also, I'm glad to see Islamofascist hate out in the open where it belongs. Were the dead and injured in the Afghanistan protests Americans, or our close allies? If not, then who the hell cares? It's about time that we get it on with the final battle, 21st Century America against 7th Century sheep buggerers, guess who's going to win an all-out battle between those two parties?

We need another fresh reminder of the spirit that infused this country on 9/12.

'Newsweek Lies and Freedom Dies!'

[AgThorn]

[Moose Dung]

How about this:

GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, NEWSWEEK DOES

- it might be a good idea to burn a few copies of the rag in effigy (hmm, is it an effigy if you burn the real thing?).

dung.

[Moose Dung]

Get Doug in Upland to call his buddies at Sean Hannity!

dung.

[Corin Stormhands]

[StarFan]

Thanks but unfortunately I could never get there in time. Firebrand asked if I'd post an emergency thread to give FReepers the heads up. I'm hoping she and Doctor Raoul won't be standing alone due to such short notice.

BUMP

[melancholy]

NewsraTHerweak?

[johnb838]

Atler, Issikoff, Thomas, and Clift.

Weasels all!

Atler, Issikoff, Thomas, Clift. Weasels All Have Got To Quit!

[Moose Dung]

How about letters to local libraries to cancel their subscriptions and dump all back issues. Be sure to cc the local newspaper & TV.

[DoctorMichael]

I think the Koran story is true! They DID flush the Koran down the toilet.

............Except that they did it because they ran out of toilet paper. [/rim shot]

[StarFan]

Can you spread the word with your radio 'pals'?

[Xenalyte]

Someone still buys "Newsweek"? Did "US News and World Report" go out of production?

They do share an audience . . . the terminally misinformed who like to think they're in the know.

[Capagrl]

Okay, call me crazy, but I'm of the opinion that Newsweek did humanity a real favor by helping to weed out the gene pool. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that people losing their lives over a 'news' story is pathetic, right? Anyone who would riot and flip out over a story (true or not)... well, I don't think they need to be breeding, do you? Newsweek owes nothing - the people who rioted should be hanging their heads in shame for being such pathetic jackasses and causing death and mayhem over a story.

[Deetes]

BUMP

[Palladin]

Are you a blonde?

[Dad yer funny]

good one
