OH-MY-GOD. 100,000 protesters carrying 1,000 coffins. This is the most ridiculous display of wreckless radicalism I have ever seen. As a moderate Republican, I do my absolute best to see both sides from their point of view, then base my opinion after I've ingested both sides of the story, but this is getting pretty wacky. All John Kerry and the Democrats are doing is going from special interest group to special interest group; going from the radical environmentalists to the gay/lesbians, from the peace-loving hippies to the pro-choice fanatics. It seems that the only special group that is not being lobbied by the Democrats is the one group that represent a vast plurality (proabably a majority) of the American population: the middle class family that just wants to raise their family in a normal environment. The Democratic Party seems to want to take that aspect away from us. They want to change America to Europe, with all the decadence and liberalism that would come with it. John Kerry is so liberal that he is even running on a bill of higher taxes (wasn't Mondale the last candidate that did that??). He will do every in his power to push his agenda on the conservative values that represent most Americans, and it is up to us, the conservative base, to ensure that Kerry stays in Massachusetts where he belongs.

Wow. Good rant -- I agree 100%.

the middle class family that just wants to raise their family in a normal environment.

Or as they're called by the Democrats: "Extreme Right Wing Neo-Cons With The Most Radical Agenda The World Has Ever Seen."

I watched the circus on C-span. It seems the left hates FOX news. Who would have thunk it?

Thanks.

It is just amazing, how the protesters, profess their fight
for peace, and yet display acts of violence.

[Marauder]

It demands too much of the liberal capacity for rational thought to realize that if we pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan, those terrorists we're fighting over there would be over here. I can just imagine their protests when that happens.

The "pony-tailed" idiot that asked the candidates in the 1992 presidential debates to think of us as their "children" pretty much typifies the hopelessly naive mindset of these people.

I don't believe there were 1,000 coffins. I somehow managed to watch most of it. The same hodge podge crowd of protesters whose causes were so varied marched in circles around the blocks giving the appearance of greater numbers. I was too young in the sixties to have seen any of the protests. But I believe that these protestors might not even have the convictions of a, all be it, misguided cause that was present at that time. They just seemed to portray a strange party atmosphere. Like they didn't have anything better to do!

Dear AP

You are sooooooooooooo partisan and unprofessional you should be ashamed-but you're not. Because you are not professional-you are whores.

[blake6900]

I wonder just how much belief in anarchy anarchists would have if those of us who don't believe in anarchy decided to...and started eliminating them one by one.

BTW, Reuters reported there were hundreds of thousands of protesters. Somebody can't count.

[SunkenCiv]

I hope it got plenty of coverage. Not constant replay coverage, just enough to motivate us poor old normals to show up on election day.

[freeperfromnj]

I was really getting upset and angry earlier watching the coverage of the protesters in NYC. A short while ago I watched the coverage of President Bush giving a stump speech in W. Virgina and let me tell you he wiped out and smacked down everything the filth on the streets of NYC did today. They stand for nothing and don't even deserve to have a President and a military that defends their right to slander this President and this country. If you get a chance, watch the C-SPAN re-run of Bush in W VA and you will have no doubt about who will win this race.

[lilylangtree]

First the press reports "hundreds", next came "thousands", next came "hundreds of thousands" now it's "more than hundreds of thousands". Well by tomorrow it'll be millions. Do I believe their numbers? NO!

It was like deja vu to the late 60's and early 70's for any of us who remember that (horrible) era. It also made me think of some of the death-penalty protests I saw while we were living in Dublin, Ireland. Same masquerade almost party atmosphere to such serious issues. It is ridiculous and yet they are treated with such reverence by the media. Well the Greek communists did something pretty silly a couple of days ago in their protests against the U.S. too.
Grow Up, Liberals!

[solo gringo]

The jon jon's and the communist are on the same page raise taxes and that will give us more money to buy more votes with.It is time for America to wake up and decide if they want to live in freedom or if they want to be ruled by Kerry and the communist,
