After-Action Report: EMERGENCY PROTEST OF NEWSWEEK

What is uncanny is that the first official retraction came about (5:00) and then was later updated (6:30) as we were there.

You have to think that they knew that there were protesters coming or already outside and this affected their behavior, if only a little itty-bit.

The last thing we American's want to do is to offend our Muslim friends.

Great job you guys. To be standing in the middle of Manhattan protesting against Newsweek and getting a positive response really says a lot. Everyone, right and left is pissed about this debacle and rightly so.
Newsweek and parent companies need to suffer some major consequenses

[Coleus]

Thanks, give em hell. I think they should be prosecuted for the actions they caused. I can't go into a movie theater or an airliner and yell "fire" and neither should Newsweek or any other liberal rag write lies with impunity that incites riots and murders without any legal repercussions.

Hi Boazo...great pic! You have captured the essence of Easyoff.

[TaxRelief]

You are my hero!

[TaxRelief]

Did you convince Don to join us here at FR? :-)

[AnnaZ]

Thank y'all for your service.

[Lazamataz]

Good job, soldiers!

[firebrand]

He knows he's welcome but is not joined at the hip to a computer the way most of us are.

[Noumenon]

Where was the retraction? Buried back near the obits?

[firebrand]

Nicest thing anybody ever called me.

[Lazamataz]

We have to start looking at politics as war by other means.

Because it is.

Just missed it, I biked by close to 7 and looked around but didn't see you. I even had my 10 out 10 Terroroists agree ABB shirt on today

[firebrand]

Should have called me. We were at the Brooklyn Diner.

[ScoopandDizzy]

how about complaining to these stations that run "Newsweek On Air"?

If it wasn't for you fantastic FReepers, there would be no one to picket the leftists. Thanks for a job well done.

Now where are the pictures?

Next time you picket them, give them a few choice words for me. I think you know what to say.

All the Best.

There were the usual Manhattan liberals (one of them was ready to sue davide for false advertising or something because she wasn't really a former Newsweek reporter),

OH MY GOD, a liberal who doesn't understand "nuance".

[Doctor Raoul]

My local WB 10 O'clock News anchor just said of Newsweek, "Sorry isn't good enough."

[Doctor Raoul]

Actually, considering that there's supposed to be TONS of liberals, we got few negative comments.
