"This is pitiful," Raleigh lawyer Brian Upchurch said...

Well, he got that much of it right.

Polls in the press tell us that the mood of the country has shifted against the war but an antiwar protest can't attract protesters.

Where is the lie?

The protests everywhere look rather poorly attended, from all the reports I've seen. Heh...

There is no lie. Their polls do show that.

Very little evidence of protest in Northern Westchester apart from a few hapless '60s hippy teacher types trying to get noticed at a busy intersection with some anti Sue Kelly (R NY) signs. Yawn!

Well, looks to me that the media should report that only 25% of the people who used to oppose Bush's war efforts openly in Fayetteville, now now care to do so.

I attended the Fayetteville Freep, the protesters were a joke, they had almost no one there

And yet, Our pols in Washington choose to believe polls rather than the evidence of their own eyes.

Oh, the people of the country are a bit worn down. Largely because our idiots at home won't shut up and insist on putting everyone in a bad mood because they are in a bad mood. But Americans don't want to run from terrorists, they want to win.

It has got to be killing them to have to report this..

I fully expect to not see anything in my local Sunday paper about it. I drove by one of the protests in NW Phoenix Friday night and they had SIX protesters out with their cardboard signs. Nobody was honking or even paying attention!! What a waste of time, the MSM is not going to be building this up to a huge protest report simply because they CAN'T. Wonder what next Monday's TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE BY STORM protest will bring? Hope someone posts a FR thread on all the goings-on next week!! he he hope there are lots of arrests and even a missile launched from WH rooftop!

He should have said "This is pitiful, the anti war movement is stuck in a Quagmire." LOL

"I'm here to support the troops and bring them home," she said.

If professional warriors have voluntarily enlisted to fight the enemy, and are there doing that, then how can you say you're supporting them by demanding they surrender and come home in shame and humiliation and let the terrorists destroy everything and everyone that you've fought for?

We love you as a person and just don't want to see you under duress, Gary Kasparov, so we demand that you resign at once before you beat Anatoly Karpov.

Driving down the main commercial street of my Philadelphia suburb late this morning, I spotted the local anti-war demonstration. A whopping FOUR demonstrators. They looked lonely and cold. Nobody was paying the slightest attention to them. I liked it :-)

"my Philadelphia suburb late this morning, I spotted the local anti-war demonstration. A whopping FOUR demonstrators."

That is pitiful for Philadelphia isn't it?

Here's a link to the live FReep in Fayetteville if any one is interested. Photos are now going up.

Small Turnout for Fayetteville War Protest

This should have been the sort of headlines we've read all along. When 1,000 burned-out junkies and paid "activists" show up to support Saddam and Al-Qaeda, in a nation of over 200 million people, 1,000 losers is very few, and not worth mentioning.

I'm out in the 'burbs, but still pretty densely populated with soccer mom types. I suppose there was a bigger one in the city, but I doubt it was very big. People are bored with sound bites on this issue. No matter what general "side" of the issue people are on, most understand by now that it's a pretty complex situation.

You forget the lamestream media and the magic magnifying glasses they use...
