I can't believe this crap. The headline:
City takes to streets for day of mourning (Ft. Collins, Colorado)
Fort Collins has a population of about 110,000, including a ton of college students at Colorado State. So saying that the "city" took to the streets would indicate that a very large percentage of the city participated. Instead, we find this out:
More than 150 people gathered at United Campus Ministry
That's about one-tenth of one percent. But the "city" showed up.
And then YOU are given this treatment:
Robert Teesdale, one of the few counter-protesters at Saturday's rally
This idiot must be trying to pull together some work samples for an interview with the New York Times.

But you have to understand in the mind of the enlightened journalist the 150 that showed up are the city that counts.

Overdramatic, yes. And they weren't "mourning" either. It was a sad display of unpatriotic spinelessness.

Amusing, isn't it? 0.1% is "the city". Oh, but lest we forget... their ideology is "pure", no? Therefore they must, per Leftist dogma, represent the great silenced and oppressed masses of the suffering proletariat.

Huh? Clarify?

The reporter was fairly young. I don't think she did too badly. It would have been a temptation to ignore our rally in favor of focusing the story entirely on the anti-justice crowd.

CardCarryingMemberVastRightWC did a head count of the lefties as they started on the mearch. Ther were exactly 92 of them, not 150.
According to their website, the purpose of the march was "to protest the unilateral action of the United States and the occupation of Iraq".
We did a good thing by counter portesting them. The leftist leaning reporter tried to be fair, even with her bias.
God Bless President Bush! He got the most honking of all!
