Isn't it reassuring to know that the chicken sh*t, hand wringers are still among us?

Actually, I have it on good authority that the number was millions of zillions of people.

Just be sure to laugh loudly when you tell liberals that their democrats are doing nothing more than tossing them crumbs of nothing.

I'm wearing blue jeans in support of the war and it looks like lots of others are doing the same.

Ever leave a flaming bag of Schieffer on a doorstep, ring the bell and run away?

Ya know, I'm glad that Schieffer has restored CBS News' credibility after that Dan Rather quagmire.

Remember new math, according to the media:

Couple of people on a streetcorner shouting "Down with Bush" = dozens of protesters.

Handful of people shouting and carrying signs = Hundreds of protesters.

Couple of busloads of people who show up in DC to protest and mostly sightsee = thousands of protesters.

I heard the hwhole planet- some say even dogs and cats were protesting too- that I can't say, but I can state that I'm almost certain spyder monkeys were protesting too.

LOL! Great minds think alike. Like in the movie "Used Cars" when they wanted to prosecute someone for false advertising because they said they had a "zillion cars to choose from"

I'd rather know when the Communists in America have EVER held a rally in SUPPORT of ANYTHING this country has ever done.

CBS's Bob Schieffer led Sunday's Face the Nation by endorsing the exaggerated attendance claims of self-interested organizers as he reminisced about the good old days of Vietnam protests. “Yesterday in Washington,” he recalled, “was like a day from yesteryear -- the war that to many seems long ago and far away: the war in Vietnam. Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people descended on the capital to protest the war in Iraq.”

Missing the good ol' days, are you, Bob? Nostalgia, together with memory loss, increases with age.

The count is a much disputed thing. No aerial photos of the crowd. I bet that it is less than 3000.

The MSM is trying to propagandize the US public.

Josh was spit on. Thats enough for me. If I had been there, there would have been some thumpin, and I suspect that it was better that patriots stayed away.

But we should organize a support the troops demonstartioon. We could easily get 100,000 in the warmer months.

So what. In a nation of 300 million, 10,000 or even 100,000 is miniscule.

Just because they protest, doesn'tmean they're right. It just means they're warm bodies in one place.

Tired of people saying, "See? Protestors. Someone must be doing something wrong!" Not even close to accurate.

in a new time of war

with our own Freedom
directly at stake
right here at home,
with an Enemy that's now
just around the corner and
...up your street..?


Imagaine that, if you dare..?


NEVER FORGET
