"You FreePers make me proud to be an American!"

Just returned from the protest and after-protest hash and rehash. Attending: Doctor Raoul, firebrand, TFine80, davide, and Don (not a freeper). We stood outside the Broadway entrance from 4:45 to about 6:30, holding our signs and shouting our heads off: "Don't buy Newsweek," "Newsweek Lied, People Died," "Flush Newsweek," "Newsweek Lies to America," etc. The signs said pretty much the same, along with "There Are Lies, Damn Lies, and Homicidal 'Reporting,'" "Former Newsweek Reporter Will Lie for Food," and TFine80's sign, which said something like "And you wonder why they hate us!" Many people stopped to chat. There were the usual Manhattan liberals (one of them was ready to sue davide for false advertising or something because she wasn't really a former Newsweek reporter), but a surprising number of positive responses. A Marine stopped by to find out more about it, and confirmed that rumors quickly go out of control in the Middle East, as this one did. Doctor Raoul had called Fox News and the New York Post, and a photographer from Polaris Images took quite a few good shots of our signs and us. He had come by just to get a picture of the Newsweek marquee and hadn't expected to see protesters there. If this story continues, there may be other protests, so stay tuned. BIG, BIG thank-you to all who went out of their way to attend on such short notice, and to StarFan for putting up the excellent announcement thread.
Thanks all. Good work!
Nah, an individual death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.
Thank you Freepers. Job well done.
Doctor Raoul - $5 donation to FR on the way!!
But if the pics ever show up, ping me!
Hang strong guys! Good Work!

I don't give a damn about Newsweek. We've know about them for a long time. I think we should publish examples of insults of different religions weekly just to show, by their reaction, which have the fanatics.
Hillary's speaking today at the Marymount Manhattan College commencement. Don't know where it is or what time, though.
Why do they hate us?
Because they hate us.
Roll their bones, roll their bones.

I prefer to label that rag NewsREEK, because it literally reeks of pure anti-US, pro-terrosits propaganda.
Alright Rack NY Freepers on protesting Newsweek

Any time. We know almost nothing of Oz, so, it is not surprising that Oz doesn't know how bad it is here, and how Communist our news media has become.
