DC Chapter ping!

[new yorker 77]

The leftists were probably angry that the paper did not print the location of their son's burial plot.

Without the location, leftists had no direct means to urinate and defecate on this hero's grave site.

Update ping!

[popdonnelly]

It's always entertaining to see leftists throw a tantrum when somebody disagrees with them.

[savedbygrace]

These tools are obviously suffering from Attention Deficit Syndrome.

Characterized by whining when not receiving as much attention as they'd prefer.

"Hundreds of thousands march for peace."

Dear, dear lefty friends, we've told you hundreds of billions of times:
stop exaggerating.

[nuconvert]

"Thanks for giving me a good retort to complaints of my right-leaning friends and coworkers that the Post and Express are lefty publications."

And that would be the reason they did it, Greg

[Hoodlum91]

Sadly, this has very little to do with one side or the other. It's just the MSM following their cardinal rule: If it bleeds, it leads.

Had violence broken out at the "peace" march, that would be the headline.

God bless all the gold star families and the families of those still serving.

[Michael.SF.]

Well, I have to agree with them, sort of. I too am totally disgusted by a grieving mother, whose son was killed for our Freedom. Her trail of tears has gone from Vacaville to Texas to Washington to fame, interviews and now jail. Cindy Sheehan absolutely disgusts me.

I seriously doubt it though if this Pro Freedom mother will capitalize on her sons death for her own self aggrandizement.

[Let's Roll]

Unlike the anti-war propaganda that is perpetually underwritten by the Stalinist ANSWER.

Their real complaint is that the grieving parents pictured are vastly more attractive than sindee and their pain is palpable.

[Reaganesque]

What's to cover at the "anti-war" protest? Everyone knew what they were going to say and how they were going to say well in advance of the event. They say the same things over and over and over again. Heck, they're so unoriginal and stuck in the past that they are using the same slogans and chants from their protests of the Vietnam war. Besides, most people intrinsically know that their beef isn't really with war itself but with the President and the politics he represents.

This is the sad, pathetic, angry, hateful and impotent remains of the sixties counterculture trying to recapture their lost and wasted youth and to force their political beliefs (i.e. Socialism/Communism) on the rest of us once again. At this point, their efforts are self-parodying, riddled with cliches, anachronisms and egotistical self-promotion (Cindy Sheehan) and I am beginning to get the feeling that most people in this country are beginning to see that.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I reject this "pro-war" label the left always try to stick on the majority of Americans who support our troops and their mission in Iraq.

This is not "pro-war" but really pro-stability.

The idiots who demand we pull out of Iraq (many of whom support our efforts in Afghanistan by the way) are the ones who are pro-war, eternal shame on them.

[astounded]

I watched some of the rally on C-Span and did not get the impression that the people there were "pro-war", as the MSM terms it. Rather, they are "pro-America", supporting the goals of our Administration and military. I believe none of the speakers who have lost a son or daughter in the war that was started by muslims in 1979 are "pro-war". In fact, they very likely are anti-war, but they know that their son or daughter volunteered and died for their country and its freedom. The use of the term "pro-war" by the MSM to describe the rally and its participants is vile propaganda. Plus, I saw some of the so-called "peace rally" that the MSM said attracted 100,000 people. That number is clearly a vast exaggeration, put forth by the MSM to inflate the importance of the affair. Another in a long line of lies and misrepresentations the MSM puts forth.

[Steve_Seattle]

I wonder if these Leftists complaining about the "pro-war" media can name one pro-war military parent who has received 1/1000th the publicity of anti-war military parent Cindy Sheehan.

[I still care]

I don't know anything about the express, but the "antiwar" rally I saw pieces of the MSM would be fools to cover if they are truly biased.

It was the biggest collection of angry crazies, anti-semites, and just plain loopy types with their drums and puppets I've seen in a while.

Even on DU they were complaining. There were even some clueless DU'ers who were wondering what all those hate Israel people were doing at their antiwar rally!

[GVnana]

Gee. These writers must be as self-absorbed as Cindy Sheehan to think the local media would prefer coverage of a bunch of out-of-town kooks stinking up the place, to a picture of a woman most of America can empathize with.

For once, I'm on the newspaper's side.

Simply because they didn't lead with a picture from the antiwar rally doesn't mean they are antiwar.

Now I am biased. I would have lead with this one:

[normy]

You Know You're "Right" Thanks for giving me a good retort to complaints of my right-leaning friends and coworkers that the Post and Express are lefty publications. Reading the Express on Monday, I found a full story and a cover photo covering the pro-war rally, but no coverage at all of the anti-war and anti-globalization protests. -Gregory Wahl, Washington, DC

Believe me Gregory Wahl, the Post did you and your people a huge favor by NOT showing that freak show.

[SuziQ]

Is the Headline "Hundreds Rally to Support Troops" that much more newsworthy than "Hundreds of Thousands March for Peace"?

It's certainly more TRUTHFUL!
