Bush passes by her protest in Crawford, Texas August 12, 2005.

If this were a pro-war group they'd have had a far more accurate count, like "up to thirty-six protesters".
As opposed to the thousands who always showed up to FReep the `toon? </sarcasm>
It's hard to count heads in that photo but it only looks like around 25 pax to me! The MSM is probably exaggerating even to give them '50' and I'm sure that if they took a photo that wasn't cropped so tightly the public could see that it's a tiny group. How many freeper or other conservative protests have drawn any MSM attention complete with nationally distributed photos????
