Nearly every weekend during that two year period, a hearty band of demonstrators from the Web site FreeRepublic.com staked out their appearances in Washington and New York; colorful signs, costumes and catchy chants at the ready. Bump!

What's amazing beyond the brazen nature of the double standard, is that Bubba STILL can't make an appearance in this country without someone from FR showing up to remind him that we remember what a scumbag traitor he is.

Even when two of them were beaten up at one Philadelphia protest by goons wearing T-shirts reading "Teamsters for Clinton...Were these Freepers that got beaten up?

So true! That is all the media has done today, showed the Commies, al la "rent a mobs" that showed up everywhere Cheney was, paid by the DNC no doubt!
Our own JimRob was interviewed at Cheney's appearance here, but so far all the media has shown is the protestors!

Figures. By the way, why was there no mention of Cheney in FRESNO today? A pile of protesters showed up at the Convention Center. We tried to get FReepers there but I think only Jim Robinson HIMSELF showed up waving Old Glory and carrying a sign in support of President Bush. Good grief!! For victory & freedom!!!

I remember getting pushed around by some thugs from the fireman's union before I even got a chance to heckle algore on one of his campaign stops.
profiling, perhaps? could have been the sign, tho...

I think it would be remiss of us not to acknowledge that from time to time NewsMax takes a lot of ribbing from contributors here. I'd like to think that the next time someone has the urge to make some snide remark regarding them, they'd think about this article. Freepers didn't have to be mention prominantly.
Thanks NewsMax. You're right on the money here!

Agree with Dougherty wholeheartedly on this one. A most excellent observation. 'Pod

Hardly a radio or television news broadcast transpired on Wednesday without prominent mention of the handful of hecklers who attempted to disrupt Vice President Dick Cheney's speech to the Commonwealth Club of California with shouts of "Cheney is a corporate crook." Yesterday's anti-Cheney protest was orchestrated, or at least heavily promoted, on democrats.com
Common sense dictates that I not post a link.

...The media's near blanket coverage of the anti-Cheney chanters ...Indeed, television coverage of Cheney's 45-minute speech at the Commonwealth Club in California was focused on a 15-second outburst by less than 5 morons in the audience. I saw no effort to report on the substance of his speech, which in my view, was far mor newsworthy based on his limited appearances over the past several weeks.
Ann Coulter I'm sure is taking notes for Slander v2.0.

It's not that protesters didn't show up regularly throughout the ex-president's two terms. It's just that when they did, the press helpfully declined to cover the confrontations. Throughout 1999 and 2000, for instance, hecklers routinely dogged both Bill and Hillary Clinton over the claims of Juanita Broaddrick, the Arkansas businesswoman who maintains she was raped by Mr. Clinton 24 years ago.

The media ignored these protests. The American populace never saw ideas/stories behind these protests. AND if the Clintons were in the area, the protestors were relegated hundreds of yards from the venue, sometimes behind a fence, and ALWAYS out of camera range.

Fox News was the only one to cover our protests nation wide, and yet as is typical of some on FR they tried to eat them, along with Rush, each other, etc.
We have lost our momentum and have become ineffective. And believe me, even though we were not reported we were effective. It shook the corrupt foundations of our criminal major new networks to see ordinary Americans on the street nation wide that didn't have to be paid to protest. It rocked their little world to see for real citizens, not members of some NGO or well financed group, out on the street and fiercly angry.
Now we are all snoozing while the enemies of our nation grow stronger and ever more organized. There is no excuse not to be protesting outside of local news networks demanding they drop Blather, Jennings, and Co. from their programing. I remember when local stations were actually talking about doing so. All they needed was a push and we stopped pushing.

It looks to me like this is simply another fine example of the leftist media on display . Purely partisan . This is 1 reason why conservatives will not make it in the left's domain .
Just as well .. Conservatives have a stranglehold on the market of books , hate radio , and the web . Has anyone ever heard of the term " Big Media " ? I have not , and it is not a shock .
Jorge .. Is this not the very thing you uncover in the course of you're fine contribution's ? I do believe it is .. Bump Mr. Cheney , and to exposing the left . Let's keep educating the uninformed !

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.
