C-SPAN sent me an e-mail last night asking, "Are there plans for any upcoming pro-troop events?"

After I finished laughing, I replied that the Gathering of Eagles are working on a rally with Rolling Thunder on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, but that we are not ready to make a formal announcement. (We still aren't, FYI.)

This morning, C-SPAN called me and asked me if I knew of any support the troops rallies happening soon anywhere in the country.

Translation: CSPAN is still feeling the pain of their decision to completely ignore and totally blow off a huge rally that showed support for our troops and our country.

Good. I hope they are still getting phone calls and emails from PO'd Eagles who were there (or who wished they could have been there) on March 17th .

Now, my answer to the CSPAN phone call would have been this:

"A support the troops rally? Well, there is the one on March 17th... Oh, wait! You knew about that one weeks in advance and you chose to ignore it. Why are you calling me now, when you wouldn't even give us the time of day a month ago?"

And then I would remind them that Rolling Thunder and the GOE are having a rally on the Saturday of Rolling Thunder weekend, in May, and I'd ask them if we can expect to see them there covering it.

That's why I'd never make a good politician, I suppose. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

Perhaps I should be more trusting of our dear friends in the media, but there is no way we would get another response like the GOE this early.

Having ignored the GOE, I wonder it the intent is to showcase a small rally as an example of how we don't really support the troops.

I'm leaning toward the belief that C-SPAN and all of the other MSM hadn't a clue as to how many supported the troops. Maybe, now that they realize how many do and how many are veterans, they think this is bigger news that the commies carrying communists signs and flags at the anti-war protests.

Or maybe the MSM is starting to get scared cause people are starting to find out who ANSWER really is.

It surely has a lot to do with the hard work of FReepers in getting the real conservative news out.
