I was there and saw it all first hand. The Obama protestors were pitiful, mostly students, but some older folks as well, numbering forty altogether at the most.

Curiously, one of them was dressed all in black, with a ski-mask, and held a sign that read: "Free Ireland---Support the IRA", an infamous terrorist organization. Another protestor held a sign that said "Forget oil! I want to drill Sarah!" Apparently someone told him to get lost lest the Secret Service misinterpret his sign, so he disappeared after a few minutes.

And of course, the local media focused most of its attention of this motley crew while ignoring the half-mile long line of people extending into thje distance, shivering in the blustery cold yet determined to see Governor Palin.

The handful of protestors got first billing rather than the many thousands who were there to support Sarah.

Well if 40-50 losers is a “small mob”, then the thousands lined up to see Sarah Palin would be correctly characterized as an overwhelming throng.

But then, we cannot expect the propagandists in the LeftMedia to provide proper perspective now, can we?.

I know if Gov. Palin made an appearance at Texas A&M University's campus in College Station (aka God's country)... she would easily draw 80,000+. Let all the bleeding heart, socialist-loving Dimocraps eat cake.

We got your back McCain/Palin... keep fighting the good fight!

Honestly, I think the Obama supporters had every right to be there. You can’t knock those kids just because they were demonstrating.

Have any of you held a “welcoming committee” for an opponent when they have come to your town? I’m sure many of you have, and you are commended for it.

I have had the opportunity to be a part of it this election cycle. In fact, I was part of a “welcoming committee” when former Pres. Bill Clinton spoke at a local college in support of Obama. We were a small group and we had every right to be there. We stood there with our plungers and held our signs. I was there and I was excercising my right to free speech. I think more people should’ve been there too. We conservatives don’t speak up enough.

I understand that the line to see Sarah Palin is the big news story for that town, but that is the biased media doing the reporting. I stood in a long line to see Sarah Palin recently, and it was energizing. Our stupid newspaper covered the story terribly, just as expected.
