Today's article in the N & O. At least she got our numbers right.

Here is the itty bitty part that dealt with our group.

While the peace marchers gathered, about 40 protesters assembled for what they termed a patriotic rally in support of U.S. troops across Salisbury Street from the Capitol. Within an hour, the patriotic rally grew to about 100, and soon they were trading criticisms and chants with a knot of peace demonstrators: "Support our troops!" vs. "Bring them home!"

"These people, they're against war now, but if something goes wrong -- a chemical attack -- they'll blame the administration," said Stafford Patterson, 21, a junior at N.C. State who held a 10-foot-tall flag. He had friends across the street at the anti-war rally, he said, but they were just out to meet girls.

Go Stafford LOL!!!

Being an NC State Graduate myself I was proud to see the State students on our side. It was a great day for the Patriot Rally! The threads on this site showing the funniest pictures of the Anti-War idiots is absolutely hilarious. What rock do these people crawl out from under anyway.

Another little blurb I found about our group. Apparently they were upset that we even got a mention at all by the media. Must be were doing something right.

All of channel 14's stories ran footage of the 65 counter-protesters without bothering to mention how few of them there were, failing to even offer an estimate (I counted each of them).

All three stories also described the small crowd across the street as "a patriotic counter-protest," even after being told how insulting that was to the thousands who'd marched.
