Just a few moments ago, the morning crew at Fox News was interviewing a wounded soldier from the Army Hospital in Germany and they showed him some footage of the couple dozen "die-in" protesters on Fifth Avenue in New York to get his reaction.
When they set it up, the reporterette said, "You've got to keep in mind, Sargeant, that this group is organized by 'Anarchists and Communists,' 'The International Socialist Organization,' and 'Psycho Therapists against War.'" All three reporters took a shot at the inane, professionally-organized protest and the sargeant just shrugged and said somehing to the effect of "well we're fighting for their right to voice their opinion; just don't take it out on the soldiers is all I have to say." Very classy.
Then good ol' Fred Thompson came on a few minutes later and they "outed the protesters" again! They showed his commercial and talked a bit about how there seemed to be as many photographers as protesters and that it was the same old crowd we've been identifying here at FR since February 15. Fred did a great job articulating why and how the American people should frame these "world-wide" protests. I really appreciated what they said because I've been trying to get the word out at my university. I hope the mainstream media starts to "frame the protests" the way Fox News did . . . (but I'm not holding my breath!)

I wonder where the money to pay those people comes from.

Read his pathetic response to a similar question by me at post 210.
My second response is 5 posts later, reiterating the question.

The trick is to remember the channel for the different satellite networks. If he has Dish TV, for example, holler "it's channel 206!"

I saw that this AM. Once again Fox & Friends does a great job of telling it like it is.
Perky Katie, your services are no longer needed. Please leave morning TV.
BTW - Fred ROCKS!!!!! He makes my native TN proud.

LOL ah that'd be good, some guy in a little truck with a ton of dirt pulls up, shows a "work order from some group called ANSWER, hey I don't answer the phones, I just dump the dirt". The cops would chase him away of course but it'd be pretty good to see the look on those commie faces.

For some reason I paused on "Today" and Katie! and the others were treating this lame "die-in" as one of the most important events in the last year. You have to remember that Katie Couric is one of the "embedded" journalists.
The military formation she travels with is the Democrat Party. ;-)

And there's nothing in the Constitution that says we can't question the motives of those self-same people and speak out against them. And from the looks of things, the motives of the vast majority of the "peace" protestors are highly questionable.

That second one could be some easy, legitimate money. Looks like somebody is doing a focus group or a lengthy survey. I scored a couple of these when I was college; one was for a proposed TV show and the other was an hour-long multiple-choice "strongly agree / strongly disagree" survey on local politics before the election.

Lets also not forget, the right to protest is exactly what those solders are fighting for. Just because we might not agree with there opinion, doesn't mean they should not be able to express it. People don't understand the word "protest". I have to the right to submit a protest to your comments and have the protest heard without the GOVERNMENT blocking it. I don't have the right to interfere with the daily flow of traffic or people. I don't have the right to impose my protest on others. I don't have the right at any moment to organize a gathering of people and march up and down streets. I have the right to request a permit to do so and I should I be denied I have the right to take the matter to the courts.
Protesters that don't follow the law have the right (in my mind) to be loaded into a crate and thrown into the ocean.

The fact that the anti-war movement is unable or unwilling to cast aside Stalinists from the organization of protests is very telling. And the news media says
NOTHING!.
Only bloggers and conservative news sites even talk about ANSWER as a front group for IAC which is a front group for WWP. But now anti-war affiliated media units(ie: mainstream media) feel its very important to see who is organizing pro-America rallies. Even to weave a web of conspiracy and collusion. But we will never hear about who is funding the WWP?
Black is white, up is down. Pro-America to be viewed with suspicion, anti-America accepted at face value.

Protest is one thing. Destruction of private property and disruption of transportation and business activity is another. Defecating in the street, moving traffic barriers and vandalizing public buildings and private business establishments are not protected free speech. They are crimes punishable by law.

CHIGUNG (01-17-2003) seems to be a hit & run DU type.

Nobody, or very few at least, says they should be stopped, just that they should be exposed for who they really are and what their true agenda is. That's also freedom of speech, they are free to speak, and we are free to speak out against what they say and who they are.
