reporters easily outnumbered protesters

The sparse attendance...came despite US poll numbers showing that the public mostly opposes the war.

But they give 'em a nice story anyways. Which do you think reporters are going to believe to gauge public support for defeat in Iraq: The polls or your own lying eyes?

it’s stupid.

The opening sentence is a lie. But that's to be expected from the MSM.

Oh, please. He’s getting out soon (as we say in the military).

Just a bunch of trashy people...

>> While US public has heavily turned against the Iraq war

I see AFP is a bit out of phase with the “entire US public is against the war” meme. I’m not sure it was ever really true, but in any case it’s rapidly going out of style since it is obvious the surge is working... but AFP hasn’t caught up yet.

LMAO! If the lying media polls were correct, thousands should be besieging Crawford. Instead we have a woman and a dog. I don't know the dog's opinion on the War. Maybe reporters should ask. BOW WOW, BOW WOW, BOW WOW

It was a scorcher of a day when you guys were here last summer in Crawford. I almost got a heat stroke that day.

Carl Rising-Moore, a Canadian-born naturalized US citizen and another example of why we need immigration reform. America already has enough home-grown sissies and girlymen.

While US public has heavily turned against the Iraq war

Oh really? Guess that's why I don't get my news from the Lame-Stream Media any more. Liars, the whole lot of them.

"The three demonstrators included "Reno," a self-described US navy veteran who would not give his last name but explained that he had grown conflicted about the use of violence during his service in the Kosovo conflict. Reno, sitting at a picnic table not far from the dormant firepit used to roast hot dogs, said he had joined the navy in 1995 because "I wanted to go around kicking people's asses like they do on TV."

So Reno joined the NAVY in 1995 to "kick ass"? How much action did he even see in Kosovo? I wasn't aware that Clinton was sending sailors inland to engage in "violence". I think Reno's been roasting more than hotdogs in the last 12 years.

My guess is "Acrid Grounds"

a self-described US navy veteran who would not give his last name but explained that he had grown conflicted about the use of violence during his service in the Kosovo conflict.

And just how much "use of violence" did he see during Clinton's Illegal War?

[Drango]

two if you count the dog.

Why does every FR have to drag Helen Thomas into 'em?....... What???? I'm sorry. Wrong thread!

[kristinn]

I’m just glad no one told me until later how hot it really was!

Here is a pic of the lone Crawford protester(s) some 38 years ago (to this very day even!) on Yasgur's farm ....

“Rising-Moore, a Canadian-born naturalized US citizen, said he runs workshops on how to hold non-violent protests and that the goal is to “create a movement here” and put pressure on lawmakers to remove Bush from office. “

The only movement this guy ever created was a bowel movement.

I hope that dog doesn’t dig up a uterus...

Few= 1

I hate that new math.

Lately, whenever I read about folks who want President Bush to be impeached, I think of the Half Hour News Hour bit on the move to disinter and impeach President Lincoln. I thought that was pretty clever.
