Jesse just started his speech, comparing Cindy Sheehan with Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman and Helen Keller

Actually, Helen Keller fits, from a standpoint of absolute blindness.....

Any NFL stadium holds about 75,000 or more.....sorry, didn't see enough to fill a stadium....also, reports from people on the street are saying they saw the same persons go by several times....

If that crowd numbered 100K, they counted it three times! Well they did march past the Freepers and Protest Warriors in front of the Hoover Building for three hours...... Some of them passed us five or six times.

I was one of those people on Penn. Ave. and yes, I saw some of this trash more than once. I would like to be proven wrong. Why do some people here have a problem with the amount of people they had when they had months to plan. For those of you that were there, if you saw the Police Officer in plainclothes and a vest, at 4:30, after 2 and a half hours, I asked him when they would open the strrets to traffic. He said the anti-americans(my words) were still "filling" the streets to 16th and H street. You all go ahead and believe what you want about the size of the crowd.

To all FReepers who were there... Thank You for coming.

Driving past after their march, we saw quite a bit of trash left by trash! Bad commies! Bad anarchists!

why would nuns participate in this kind of anti-war/(Anti-Bush) rally? It was disgraceful.

"nuns whose anti-war activism dates to Vietnam"

There was one gentleman who went and took the cross with his son's name, saying they didn't have the right to use his son for their purposes.

I know. There were a number that did that. My point is that they shouldn't have to. I'm wondering where do they get the pix from. There has to be a way to stop them from using these pictures in their protests.

We have a problem with it because they and the media lie consistently about their numbers. And we'll just have to agree to disagree because I have yet to see a shot of the moonbats that looks like their numbers would fill the Fedex Field stands. I'm done arguing.

A Wounded Warrior and his son. He stood with us and gave the protesters H*ll!!

God bless him and let us never forget them. Donate to organizations whose sole purpose is to help the families of KIA and WIA.

I'm not talking about the media's numbers. I'm giving my opinion from my first hand account. I hope I'm wrong. I don't want to argue with those on my side. Sorry if I offended you. Be well.

I wasn't near the WH or the Washington Monument. I was standing with freepers and other counter-demonstrators along the parade route.

Some might have been decent people. Most of the marchers were foul-mouthed and full of hate. Parents should not have brought their children to the anti-war rally because of the types of people such events draw and the violence that could have broken out among the factions of the 'peace' groups. The language on the signs was filthy, marchers were giving us the finger and screaming obscenities. Moms and Pops were giving us the finger and I was flipped off by more than one Grandpa. Then there were the goons with the bandannas covering their faces.

Some children on our side (behind the fences and with police in between the two groups) were scared and started to cry. If good people were associated with that show it must have been an accident.

"NOW, she can't deign to actually MARCH??? I bet her son did HIS share of marching, don't you?"

If Cindy and Casey had anything in common, I can't imagine what it would be.

Considering that Cindy called for the impeachment of Sanitation workers they should have been better to the environment.
