Hume Notes Some Things Media Skipped Over at Anti-War Protest.

Picking up on a CyberAlert item and an article on Salon.com, on Tuesday night FNC’s Brit Hume informed viewers of his Special Report with Brit Hume on FNC how “we are just now finding out some things about this past weekend's anti-war protest in Washington that the mass media did not include its accounts.”

Hume began his October 27 “Grapevine” segment: “We are just now finding out some things about this past weekend's anti-war protest in Washington that the mass media did not include its accounts. One speaker, a rap musician, chanted 'F--- Bush,' but he chose to use the full four-letter word. The crowd then chanted the same.

“One protester, a high school English teacher from Virginia held a sign saying quote, 'U.S. Troops Out of Iraq, Bring Them Home Now.'

But when asked by a reporter for Salon.com whether he thinks the troops should in fact come home now, the teacher said he wasn't sure, adding that he quote 'would hate for the Bush administration to half way fix things and then leave.' So, then why was he carrying the sign? He said quote, 'I didn't even look at it. I was just waving it.'”

The October 28 CyberAlert reported: Sunday’s Washington Post story on the latest “anti-war” protest organized by some very far-left groups ignored the more incendiary comments from the officially-sanctioned speakers on the stage and tried to portray an image of a group of average people next door coming together along with concerned relatives of those deployed in Iraq.

As opposed to a bunch of hateful political activists. From the stage, to the delight of the crowd which joined in, a rapper yelled: “F*** George Bush!”

But the Post ignored that and saw only how “the demonstrators represented a diverse mix of dissent, from suburban high school students to gray-haired retirees, from fathers pushing their children in strollers to Muslim American college students shouting through bullhorns...” See: www.mediaresearch.org or

With all due respect, I think all lurkers and freepers know that ANSWER is a front for our enemies.

I think your post would have been more profitably posted on DU. Although it would probably have been removed after being flamed, it might have enough time to plant some useful seeds of doubt.

I watched some of these vermin on C-SPAN.

Pathetic.

DUmmyland had a thread about ANSWER's support of the terrorists in Iraq. ANSWER aint as popular over at DUmmyland as it used to be to some.

I have said this before and I will say it again. One of the main reasons for the fall of the left is Foxnews, not because they are spreading propaganda, but because they show the loony and depraved left, which was always carefully hidden by mainstream media.

Come on, how many here have gone to protests, where the leftists show up, in black masks, nipple rings and tie dyed hair, with profanity and signs promoting communism? And you turn on the evening news, and they find the ONE NORMAL looking person in the whole bunch, usually a schoolteacher or grandmother or something to talk to?

I can attest to that!

I have seen the Media do the same things with political rallies where just a few people appear to be "masses" - all Liberal rallies, of course!

[Huck]

My man, Brit. Fair, balanced and unafraid. I'll tell you what. I gotta start setting the timer on the ole VCR again so I can see Brit when I get home. That's the only news show on TV worth a damn.

[nutmeg]

LOL... just damn is right! I heard Brit's report last night, but didn't catch this article from the Media Research Group. Thanks for the ping... I'll ping my lists.

He said quote, 'I didn't even look at it. I was just waving it.'

(needs no further comment)

**"So, then why was he carrying the sign? He said quote, 'I didn't even look at it. I was just waving it.'"**

And this guy is teaching kids?

"So, then why was he carrying the sign? He said quote, 'I didn't even look at it. I was just waving it.'"

Kind of indicative of the way many liberals "think."

[Bigg Red]

the sign? .......'I didn't even look at it. I was just waving it.'"

Yup! They are just brain dead robots united in their all-consuming hatred of Bush. Where the intensity of that hatred comes from I cannot fathom. The best explanation that I can figure is that W represents traditional moral and religious values, values that they find repressive.

"He said quote, 'I didn't even look at it. I was just waving it.'”


Worst part of that? The idiot was a high school English teacher!!!

[Tabi Katz]

Interesting. I've participated in protests where I actually saw reporters with their cameras and microphones plodding through legions of intelligent spokespeople to seek the one deranged lunatic in the crowd, to whom they would grant ten minutes of airtime.

I wonder how many swearing, incoherent, screaming and possibly violent yahoos the major media had to bypass before finding someone whom they'd allow on the air (or into print). Thank you Brit Hume!

[mathurine]

Funny, but those three groups are among the five or six I want to be the big losers. Treasonous dogs and pigs are they all. Dogs and pigs being the insults given their moronic mentalities.

Thanks for the heads up!
