How can they be caught off guard!?

The caravan has been publicing this every stop they made!!

They are caught off guard because they see what they want to see. They heard about it, but thought it was just a few fringe groups, not regular people. They heard thousands and figured a few hundred.

It is all about what they THINK the American people believe. Just remember, the famous anecdote about a reporter who said she couldn't believe Nixon won because she didn't know anyone who had voted for him?

Well, this is the support the troops equivalent. "How can there be three thousand? I don't' know anyone who supports this mission or the president."

That's my theory based on years of being a news junkie and laughing about what they are surprised by.

This is nothing but BS! Fox did have advance notice of this event! Some Freepers made sure of that by emailing them way in advance! ALL the presstitutes knew! But you see, it didn't fit their agenda! Mark my words, just like we're hopping mad here, RUSH will also be livid on Monday's show!
