This is too funny. I'm stealing it for a Code Pink thread.

Her opening line at the "peace" demonstration was a real winner: "If we didn't know it now, we certainly know it now."
This rally is a great comedic diversion from the Hurricane Rita coverage. Tune in and indulge.
LinkTV showing what even CSpan won't show.

Tactical error. They should have held it on a weekday, when their paid union and government minions would have shown up.
I was supposed to be there today.
Hubby just called and said it was a zoo. He couldn't hear a word I said, because of the crowd noise. Just wanted to let me know it was over, but they couldn't leave yet because of the crowds, and he was going to go get something to eat with other freepers and Protest Warriors.
I am a little disappointed about this, because it either means that (sob!) all those buses from New York finally made it through the barricades, and there were far more people at the march than at the rally, OR it's just ANSWER's usual gift of inflicting maximum inconvenience wuth minimum numbers. They do tend to mill around a lot after one of these things. I'll wait to hear sauropod's account.
I have to say, though, that I was watching the crowd on TV, and on the traffic cams here, and at 3:00 it sure wasn't as large as it should have been. It should have been bigger than 2003. After all, they think they have Bush on the ropes, they think they have a majority opinion behind them, and they have their savior Mother Sheehan there blowing kisses to the crowd. And yet this was the best they could do...

Consider yourselves lucky: you don't have to be represented in Congress by this silly woman.
The article I saw posted at the CNN website was actually an AP story and it didn't specify any number of attendees at all. It simply referred to "thousands". That was a clear indication to me the actual number was well below what was expected or hoped for.
I watched this mess on LinkTV and Amy Goodman, a liberal puke in her own right, kept referring to 300,000 people. This is interesting considering these people want "truth and justice" yet can't even be honest in reporting the number of participants.
Looks like Donahue was wrong again. In fact, he didn't even bother to show.
This is what happens when they use bogus polls to ask bogus questions and count bogus numbers to draw bogus conclusions. They believe they own BS.
She lacks intelligence as well as common sense. Just goes to show, people can get ahead with half a brain.
hmmmm, they must have run for the hills when these photos were snapped. I don't see very many of them.
More than 100,000 protesters my butt.
The thread is just too huge to read through, so I'll just sum it up with, "If we didn't know it now, we certainly know it now."
More like Sin-thia.
Catch you later FairOpinion.
Thanks, Risktaker.
The MSM articles went back to claiming over 100,000 protesters. ( for a brief period, they mentioned thousands, as in less than 10,000, but then they figured nobody knows how many were really there, so they are safe to claim outrageous numbers).
Your picture is the proof, that's worth more than a 100 words. :)
C-SPAN showed David Brooks' talk at the national book exposition in Washington, and the Q & A afterwards...he was asked about the Amtrak trains not getting through, and he said that was the first he had heard of that. I wonder if a rumor was spread that people trying to get to Washington by train for the ANSWER rally were delayed because the trains weren't running. For all I know, the rumor was bogus anyway.
The Washington Post (on Drudge) writes that more than 100,000 attended the communist terrorist sympathizer rally and 150 attended the "let's finish the job and finish it right" rally.
CNN reports that their were 2000 pro-jihad protestors and 400 anti-terror demonstrators. Hmmm...
