Seattle Media Misrepresents Size of Revote Crowd at Olympia Rally
1/11/05 | justthefactsmaam

Posted on 01/11/2005 2:28:21 PM PST by Justthefactsmaam

KIRO is misrepresenting the size of the pro-REVOTE crowd at the rally today down in Olympia. On their website they said 1000 revote supporters, and 500 Gregoire supporters. Baloney! I was there, and I have proof on film (my buddy panned the crowd for this very purpose - the liberal media does this all the time!). I left a message on KIRO's tips line that I had proof on film that they were not telling the real story, and offered it to them. Let's see if I get a reply! (I won't hold my breath)

They did the exact same thing in 2000. Hundreds would show for the Bush recounts and nobody or a handful would show for Gore.

1,500 total. So what! Even if that is right, who cares. It certainly doesn't warrant national media attention. I'm sure you can find that many people in every city larger than a hillbilly family.

Stuff 'em all into a booth to "revote" and slide 1,500 over to the other side if that'll make them happy.

What a bunch of delusional people. Don't these people have anything better to do in life!

I was there, and there were nowear near 500 D's, and, at least in my opinion, over 2000 R's,

I can 100% assure you this, the R's were 6 times the D's, easily.

That sounds a lot more reasonable. Under 300, that's for sure.

As I said to someone else, I was there, and I can 100% assure you there were AT LEAST 6X more R's then D's.

Unfortunately, she'd have to do something illegal in office for our Recall provision to work, I believe.

But it doesn't matter. If the court goes by the law (A big if, I know), we will get the revote, which we will win by 10%, minimum.

The Washington State Patrol estimate was 200 Anti-Rossi demonstrators and 1800 Pro-Rossi demonstrators.

One thing is for sure, the Anti-Rossi demonstrators did not have a single American Flag in their group. The Pro-Rossi demonstrators had hundreds of American Flags. That says it all for me.

Hope the court gets the message that some residents are a little angry.

They were all union thugs. No, not all union members are thugs, but these ones were. And they are all socialist, so I think you would sooner see a communist flag before an American one.

KIRO has as an employee, the former departing governor Gary Locke's wife, Mona. Is it any surprise Seattle's KIRO would downplay any opposition to Governor Fraudoire?

Thank you for affirming my perception of these obnoxious DEMONStrators that must have flew from the attic of the Governor's House like something out of the Wizard of Oz.

I couldn't go, but did watch the news coverage. KOMO did a fair job, saying the revoters way outnumbered the Gregoir (sp) supporters. KIRO however barely talked about the numbers and spent most of the time filming the pro Gregoir people.
