Well, we had our Protest at Newsweek offices led by the Tri-State Chapter. We only had a handful of people because we wanted to put the pressure on right away even on short notice, but we definitely achieved our objective. Depending on how the story develops, there may be need or demand for a further demonstration.
We had some great signs:
Newsweek Lied, People Died
Flush Newsweek!
There's Lies, Damn Lies, and then HOMICIDAL REPORTING! (I forget the exact wording)
and
And you still WONDER why they hate us!?!
We also had some cut-out bloody hands that we offered to Newsweek employees and to random people because 'Newsweek already has them'! And we chanted 'Newsweek Lied, People Died' from time to time.
You could easily see the fear and denial on the faces of some of the Newsweek employees. A few of the other workers in the building must have some gripe against Newsweek because a handful gave us thumbs-up. As usual, you could see the raw hatred and denial on the faces of many of our New Yorker liberal friends, but you could tell that even they could barely stomach this whopper.
We had a few photographers come by and it is possible that you may see us somewhere or another. Please flag firebrand if anyone sees anything!
Thank you to Firebrand and Doctor Raoul and StarFan for organizing the event so quickly! And God protect our troops who are being shot at because of Newsweek's idiocy and sedition.

Thanks for the update !
Right on, get us some pics!
But seriously, good job. What kind of reaction did you get from the passerbys on 57th St.?
Great report. Thank you from the left coast
I'm so glad you did this. Many thanks.
I had the thought last night (listening to Drudge) that the time has come for a good old-fashioned "die-in" -- seventeen people dressed as Muslims gather in front of the Newsweek offices, then fall to the ground screaming (in front of the cameras of the rest of the media, of course).
Possibly even some civil disobedience in splashing the steps up to Newsweek's offices with fake (biodegradable, washable?) blood. (I didn't say that!)
I hope the muzzies start to go after asskopf!!! He is a traitor first screaming Abu Ghraib and now this!! HANG TRAITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
I was going to ask if you took a bull horn with you, then I saw the Doctor was present.
Thank you for the report.
EXCELLENT!
Thanks for all the great work that y'all do.
I'm glad you reported on the attitude of the rank and file.
My local protest at the newspaper was a success because the average worker hated to be associated with the antiwar types. I guess you showed the same is true at NewsWeak.
Rank and file don't like to think their paycheck passed through bloody hands.
Great job.....
Pictures please
Thank you from the People's Republik of Portland Oregon! Great work!!!!
Use your right to free speech! Send an email to editors@newsweek.com
Tell the Newsweek scum what you think
I sent them an email... excerpt follows...
Newsweek magazine has sunk to new lows in the attacks on America by idiotic liberal media. Your false reporting on the Koran will create many more suicide bombers who will be attacking our soldiers in many locations, killing and
maiming many of them. There will be marines going to homes to tell relatives that their loves ones were killed in the Middle East.
Some follow up questions:
- Did you go to their Manhattan office?
- What was the reaction from them?
- Did you get any vets to show up?
- Did any local news people show up to report? Did you call them?
- Please post pictures if you have any.
Thanks!
