I was at this rally. The AP reporter who wrote this story approached 3 people (including myself) who were having a discussion. The AP reporter asked one of our group if she could ask a few questions, and our group member proceeded to tell her in no uncertain terms what he thought of AP in general (it wasn't positive). He even threw in a couple of 4-letter words for emphasis. The AP reporter left hastily. I'm surprised this story is relatively accurate and unslanted considering the reception she got from us.

Your first hand report is appreciated.

Reporters usually make unreliable . . . well . . . reporters.

Good for him - more of us need to treat these "journalists" like the left wing scum they are and just refuse to have anything to do with them. Make 'em invent their lies about us from the ground up instead of giving them quotes they can twist and strip of all context.

These MSM reporters are never going to like us conservatives or treat us fairly, no matter how polite we are to them. So we may as well openly treat them like the fifth columnists they are and give them no quarter.

I was also at the event. The cameras seemed to be glued to the war protestors. I didn't get to see the coverage on Ch. 10 or anywhere else? Was it balanced? And I met Greg Parkinson -- an awesome young man, and a soldier just back from Iraq for a 14 day visit. He came to the event in Sacramento to surprise his mom -- she was coming to the rally and then was planning on going with them to Crawford.
I asked him what I could do for him while he was fighting in Iraq for our country. He said, "Just what you're doing right now." He really touched my heart.
