C-SPAN INSULTS PATRIOTIC VIETNAM VETS - WILL NOT BROADCAST PATRIOTS RALLY FOR AMERICA

self/ C-SPAN ^ | Friday, January 17, 2003 | Kristinn

C-SPAN has informed me that they will NOT be covering The Patriots Rally for America being held tomorrow in Washington, D.C. by the patriotic Vietnam Veterans group, MOVE-OUT!, and the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic.

C-SPAN will be broadcasting live tomorrow the "anti-war" rally in D.C. put on by the communist front group IAC-ANSWER.

No reason was given for the disparity in coverage, but you might be able to get one from C-SPAN--or even get them to change their mind to cover the Patriots Rally.

The main phone number for C-SPAN is 202 737-3220.

BTW, you might tell them that national, international and local press, TV and radio will be covering the rally--even PBS' News Hour with Jim Lehrer.

Yeah, such a move would cut into the airtime for seminar calls to bore us all with their zombie-like recitations of DNC talking points.

Thanks for the "heads up"...we will make the necessary inquiries. Semper Fi

Good Luck, C-SPAM is nothing more than a tool of the left, their stupid questions in the morning are nothing more than an avenue for trashing Bush, America and conservatives.

They slip every once in a while, in their robotic manners, and expose themselves for what their ideology really is.

I watch them when I can, because you can find out what the liberals are using to muddy the water. Occasionally, they do have on individuals that speak for what is right, and occasionally they cover events that I want to see. When one third of this country is liberal/communist and one third goes with the flow, I find it impossible for the one third that have the right ideas to get equal coverage.

C-SPAM coverage of ENRON exposed them for what they are. They never took on Clinton and demanded that the country get to see all of the Starr material provided for the House to view prior to impeachment, yet they tried to ambush President Bush with the lies of the left that tried to make Bush et.al. the scapegoat of ENRON.

Just know that God will be watching and all you need is his smile.

With that and their book reviews there's just not enough time for The Patriots Rally .

[The South Park Republican]

I fully appreciate the effort here, it is a good one. But, based on the turn-out of the last Freeper rally protesting the anti-war freaks, I don't blame C-SPAN for not covering it.

Are they supposed to cover every event? No matter how poorly attended? Where does it stop? Less than 2 people.

I just got off the phone with mom, and she said she called the main number and they referred her to Ellen Schweiger (sp?) in the programming department at (202) 626 - 7965. She says to call that number and leave voicemail for her, maybe they will change their minds about their coverage.

[kristinn]

Our rally is only about an hour long. Grrrr.

Fred, can you call C-SPAN and give 'em hell?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

That's wrong. The more you read about the history of these rent-a-mob socialists, the angrier you'll get at the mainstream press for giving these idiots the microphones throughout the years.

They could push their Marxist "we're for the oppressed people against the evil American imperialists" 100 years ago, but we know better today. Who oppresses their people? We have E. Germany vs. W. Germany, Haiti vs. Dominican Republic, N. Korea vs. S., etc., etc., in every case where capitalistic free market economies and the rule of law are allowed - the people are far less oppressed. We know the truth. We have the 20th century, history and truth on our side.

Thank you for all you do, kristinn. We'll help get the word out.

Oh, we will be making a telephone inquiry. Mr Lamb, being a Navy vet, should be reminded of it...

[kristinn]

Thanks for your support. C-SPAN has covered leftist rallies that could fill a phone booth and not much more.

It's not just FReepers doing this, it's veterans from across the country coming to D.C.

[OldFriend]

We have come to expect CSPIN to be on the side of America's enemies.

They think nothing of allowing calls on that advocate the assassination of the president and members of his cabinet.

[Fred Mertz]

What time do we want them to cover us? I'll call 'em and give them H-E-double toothpicks;)
