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

CSPAN ^ | August 29, 2004

[maica]

I rarely watch them, but just had a few minutes to take notes and was not "disappointed" when my numbers confirmed what I had long suspected.

[oceanview]

local NYC news covering this now. noting the non-existant turnout at central park. protestors trash talking the police department.

[oceanview]

10 anarchists arrested for felonies as a result of the dragon being set on fire.

[mylife]

Good on you all!!

[firebrand]

Ooooh. It was the dragon that got set on fire. We saw the dragon go by and then we could see the smoke and then the flames in the block north of us.

[tgslTakoma]

Looks like at least 3/4 of a million people...

Central Park webcam

Supposedly refreshes every 5 minutes

[World'sGoneInsane]

You're witnessing the last hoorah of liberalism. These clowns truly are sick.

This is seriously bad public relations for our country. Next time I hear someone ask, "Why do 'they' hate us?"--I'll think of this broadcast. But, this is democracy in progress.

[firebrand]

Did you hear the "Communists for Kerry" chants?

That was a guy next to me named Ralph who kept starting that one.

[World'sGoneInsane]

Why are they pulling that ticker tape out of what looks like Dean Martin's mouth?

LOL, I thought it was Kissinger. Did you see those people running around in Howard Kossell masks?

[maineman]

It Was A Nice Day For A Parade

[Cold Heat]

Yes, it is going to be a difficult two months.

I have already broke out in a nervous rash, eaten two jugs of rolaids and doubled up on my BP medicine.

Hell, I might not even survive it! :-)

I only can hope the enemy is feeling worse.

10 anarchists arrested for felonies as a result of the dragon being set on fire.

Hopefully, they won't set bail until next weekend.

[NewLand]

It's up to us to provide counterbalance.

Agreed...but not on the streets of NYC with 6 zillion wackos around us.

[Cold Heat]

THIS MAY BE A BLESSING AFTER ALL!!!!!!

Absolutely! it is the face of Kerry and his supporters as it really is, without the rose colored glasses.

[maineman]

PREPARING FOR THE RALLY, JOHN WAS WONDERING IF HE HAD TIME TO DO A COUPLE OF 'CRUNCHES'

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[dougherty]

I hope that stupid dragon was worth having a felony on their records. Morons! I'm glad I finally pulled myself away from the freak show on tv earlier and instead of Anacondas, I saw Open Water. Great movie! Much, much better than watching the sharks in NYC today.

[floriduh voter]

How about pet rats? didn't mean to insult any dogs or cats. I think they got Bush some more votes today but curiously, when they opened the phone lines, the Republican callers had static on the line or were cut off but all the anarchists for Kerry's call got through. One caller at the end said it was a disgrace. It certainly was. I saw so much obscenity and heard so much profanity that Janet Jackson's booby is moot at this point.

[floriduh voter]

I thought it was live from Key West when I saw that inflatable giant, male member. There were children there and they were exposed to profanity, obscenities and that giant male member was unavoidable. I saw the little fire, the coffins which to me mocks the men and woman who died for our country. I saw two guys kissing for c-span. If those are KERRY voters, pray that they stay home on election day stoned out of their minds as they appeared to be this afternoon.

On the other hand, that crowd with their creepy exhibition will send independents over to the Bush-Cheney camp. They were Halloween creepy...

[floriduh voter]

I got cut off too. Not a busy signal but cut off. They were trying to pack that segment with people WHO JUST THOUGHT IT WAS SUCH A FUN TIME HAD BY ALL. Can't they hear, can't they see? Were they watching what I was watching. CREEPY, CREEPY, KERRY JUNKIES.
