According to the AFP that's about the same.

everyone agreed that it was paramount to "support the troops" fighting and dying

B.S. Typical Dimwit mantra regurgitated by the MSM. The left-wing wants the terrorists to win so they can pin a 'Vietnam' on Bush. They are traitors...it is too bad that they are not rounded up and executed as such...at a minimum, deport them to the Third World country of their choice.

I wonder if someone thought to hire a plane or helicopter to overfly the area and take pictures. It would be nice to have solid photographic evidence to throw in the other side's faces.

Although given that the President was in the area, I doubt an overflight would have been allowed even if it was thought of (maybe we can hope that the USSS has aerial photos?).

Saw very little of it on FOXNews... and what little I saw made no mention of numbers. FOX let us down bigtime.

Yup. I think that "don't spit on US servicemen and call them 'baby killers' - it turns off the general public" is one of their lessons learned from Vietnam. But there's very little doubt that's exactly what they're thinking as they falsely claim to "support the troops".

Or the more accurate (cough-cough) description: "Thousands of anti-war demonstrators and pro-troops supporters..." (it all depends on what the meaning of "is" is).

The coverage was terrible. The video did not even match what the reporter was describing.

We need someone who is there to video tape it, getting a clear view of the numbers of people, and pass it around the internet. To hell with the MSM.

That's very disappointing. I mean the coverage. I bet they've got some good pictures at the Move America Forward website...I'll be watching that. Protest Warriors are supposed to be going down, and isn't there are FReeper representation also?

Sounds like this could be a financial bonanza for Crawford. Wish I owned a motel there.
