CSPAN will cover the march live at 2:00 EST

And numebrs do matter in terms of getting coverage by the media.

Not really. The March For Life over the years has turned out millions on 1/22. It's routinely ignored.

The New Media is now locked and loaded.

Ball, patch, powder.

Fire!!

Sorry to be the spectre at the table, but did you see the protesters at the RNC? Now THAT was a CROWD!

That is because certain groups; communist, anarchists, Tides Foundation, etc. spent millions to bus the Rent-A-Mobs to New York. Many of the protesters didn't have any responsibilities that would prevent them from going to New York.

"I feel honored to hear them speak at last." To look on these guys and realize they've been having to live under what Kerry and his pals laid on them for over 30 years--while Kerry married his rich wives and windsurfed--is truly moving. They never got a chance to sit at the table, in front of cameras, and tell THEIR stories--whether those stories align with Kerry or otherwise. It's great they're speaking out. I just wish there were enough of them present here to attract media attention so their stories DO get heard.

If this group had a press conference instead, then the room would be PACKED, and the media would have to portray it as "A press conference for these vets was filled to capacity," and the speakers could speak in a more formal setting, their stories uninterrupted by protestors.

My complaint is only about finding the best way for their voices to be heard. I don't think this is it.

[El Gato]

Crowd now calling Kerry a coward..

And a traitor, which he was.

B.G. compared him to Benedict Arnold.

[gopwinsin04]

Burkett now comparing Kerry to Benedict Arnold!

[Huber]

"Legalized desertion"...STRONG STUFF!

[Crawdad]

One honest man trumps one-million liars.

[mylife]

Damning Dan Rather!

[gopwinsin04]

B.G. zeroing in on Dan Rather!

[areafiftyone]

I remember the Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry rallied outside the Kerry campaign headquarters in NYC. It was a great rally and the Vietnamese Americans attended. Also I think some members of rolling thunder.

[Huber]

SITREP: "Probably 3,000 people here, maybe more. 'Kerry legalized desertion!'"

[AZamericonnie]

Is anyone in touch with the FReepers there?

"That is because certain groups; communist, anarchists, Tides Foundation, etc. spent millions to bus the Rent-A-Mobs to New York. Many of the protesters didn't have any responsibilities that would prevent them from going to New York."


Sure. I'm aware of that. But it doesn't change the facts.

John Kerry figured out a way to legalize desertion. He left his Swift Boat Veterans after 4 months. He didn't care if they lived or died. . . . We understood loyalty. Not John Kerry. He had to come home and join Jane Fonda and her pro-Communists. JK came home from Paris and advocated Communisty solution to war. He bragged about it in front of Senate. Called us monsters. Called us murderers . . . . This is the same JK today who says he will get our allies to help us in Iraq. He called our allies in Vietnam worthless. They had 500,000 killed in action. . . .

Dan Rather popped up with a bunch of documents supporting John Kerry. Documents are foreged. But they say they stand by their story. Dan Rather betrayed Vietnam soliders as assassins. I got Dan Rather's military record. This is the man who says he a 2 tour Marines. He joined Marine Corps after college. Kicked out after 4 months. Couldn't take physical activity.

DAN RATHER LIED AGAIN...

[mylife]
