Newsweek Offices Protest Report (May, 16, 2005)
Newsweek Freep Action | May 16, 2006

Posted on 05/16/2005 4:30:59 PM PDT by TFine80

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.

The first things that strikes you is: the damn signs are in English...The second thing that strikes you is: which issue do you guys want? Bush to apologize ???? (for a story that isn't true--as stated by the first sign!)

#1: The guy on the left, I've seen him in other news photos. He or one of his buddies shows up wearing a dirty/smelly nightshirt whenever there are signs in English or some protester catches himself on fire after torching a US flag.


Can you just imagine the stench emanating from all those armpits? Ewwwwww.

#2: Yes. Because it could have happened, and it's Bush's fault!

They should agree to turn over the "anonymous source" who made up the lie. Why is he being protected?

Interesting question, let's speculate. Remember in Rathergate when CBS claimed their 4 faxed memos were backed by "um impeachable sources"? It turned out that there was only 1 source, Bill Burkett, a wackjob twice committed to stays in mental hospitals, and who was also a rabid left-wing Democrat that had been after the Bush family for over 30 years. "Impeachable", my derriere!

Whatever source they had in the Pentagon was obviously a flake because even Newsweek said that on further questioning he/she couldn't back up his/her Koran flushing story.

They hung their whole story on one person that couldn't verify his/her claim afterward, and Newsweek claimed that they had earlier approached two other "sources" for confirmation, but one "source" wouldn't answer, and the other denied it. And those jackasses still ran with the story.......they must have wanted it really bad.

Exactly what I thought of. CBS protected the source, even though they were deceived. Why? No doubt that in both of these cases the source will turn out to have links to the democrats.
