We have lost our momentum and have become ineffective.

There's a wonderful reason for that: the democrats are not in power. When I heard the coverage of the Cheney protest, my first thought was, "I'm glad it's their turn to protest and not mine." When the traitors and haters are unhappy, that means things are moving in the right direction.

"I'm glad it's their turn to protest and not mine."

They'll get all the media coverage even though "Corporate Crook" isn't even close to
Bill Clinton
We have you surrounded
Put down the intern
and come out with your pants up.

Now that is a catchy chant. Do you remember who originated that slogan? (AP?)

The spiel was:

BILL CLINTON!
WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED!
DROP THE CIGAR
STEP AWAY FROM THE INTERN
AND COME OUT WITH YOUR PANTS UP!

I believe Doctor Raoul penned that mighty refrain.

Reporters should to be told in no uncertain terms: The White House will entertain no further questions on the accounting practices at Halliburton and Harken Energy - until Mr. Clinton and his wife are pressed for answers about the most heinous crime ever alleged against a President of the United States. When reporters finally browbeat the truth out of the former first couple, then and only then should they get their Cheney press conference.

Makes sense to me but sadly it will never happen. The media is controlled and always will be.

Thank you FReepers for trying to make a difference.

Our ABC radio news played the disruptors this morning and then, just in case we didn't hear them, the announcer repeated the words again, loud and clear.

Freepers called it well yesterday saying the media would be hyperventilating about this and they were right.

Have you ever considered what would happen if, G-d forbid, there was even a limited nuclear attack on any city in America? Have you considered what would happen if smallpox or another biological disease was unleashed on a city or area of the country? Would you rather there was no plan to keep these areas isolated and prevented from spreading the disease?

If there was no attempt to prepare for the unthinkable would you be the first to demand answers as to why we weren't prepared?

Hysterical suggestions of despotic powers being sought is beneath contempt at this time. Just my opinion, of course!

ABC radio, owned by Disney, would rather die than report anything positive about anyone in this administration.

The protestors have been shown over and over and over on Atlanta's local news shows. This is the first I've heard of a Cheney response. Thanks for sharing.

Katy Colon had a hit piece on the "Today" show this morning. Started out with the Cheney hecking, followed with a Campbell Brown (?) piece about Cheney again in hiding like he was after 9/11, and ended with David Fineman in South Dakota talking about how the farmers there are distrustful of "big business". When one of his answers wasn't critical enough of business, she asked it again and this time he got "correct"! Innuendoes all, nothing factual, just their sorry leftist tilt at the "news".

(Sorry - not sure about reporters names -- too angry at the whole hit piece to be sure if I got them right!!)

BTW, whatever happened to Doctor Raoul? I haven't seen him here in ages. Went to his homepage to find in forum and there were no posts. Did he leave FR because of a disagreement?

Yep, it was all over the radio news yesterday. Funny what the left wing media thinks is news.

Mainstream media interest in covering the anti-Clinton demonstrations was nearly nonexistent. Even when two of them were beaten up at one Philadelphia protest by goons wearing T-shirts reading "Teamsters for Clinton," the press by and large looked the other way...

This would be the same bunch of dogged investigative journalists who asked Mr. Clinton one time and one time only about the rape allegations pending against him. Then, when his lawyer told reporters to move on, they obediently did so.

It takes a lot to make me angry, but this has put me over the edge.

Wouldn't the Teamster thugs just have sh*t their pants if, when they started beating on our people, one hundred more of our guys surrounded them with nightsticks & rocks?

Get with it people...We're in a Cultural War here (much like the 1960's), but WE'RE the ones trying to fight with flowers now. Forget the moral higher ground, these jerks & jackass lovers are only going to understand one thing...Picking their molars up off the pavement!

If it's physical intimidation they want...

There are several problems with that. First of all, there were about 500 of them there, with a fair percentage of gorillas. Second of all, only about 35 people showed up to protest Clinton AT ALL, with only 5 from FR. Third, the only person actually to stand trial as it was was Don Adams, and he didn't lift a finger against anybody. The Teamsters control the courts in Philadelphia (this according to former Mayor and DNC chairman Ed Rendell.

I remember well your part in helping Don & Teri Adams. You have been. and still are, a "Freeper Extrodinaire."

I have protested Clinton and her "highness." It was a great experience and I encourage everyone to stand-up for what you feel is worth protesting.

The media (80% at least) are bottom feeders and need to be aware that we see behind their deceptive practices.

My husband was at a local deli the other day when some guy picked up the local propaganda news and the comments made by all of other customers made his heart glad. I believe, in most cases, that people are becoming more aware of how the media is scewing the news. At least, I hope so.

Phil (Dead Man Talking) Donahue led last night's program with the hecklers. It drove me back to Fox in a New York second.
