Will we have a live thread for this protest....so we can laugh at these left wing knukledraggers..??

[RandallFlagg]

YAAAAA!!!! I was just about to email Kristinn and ask him if it was going to be covered. Any chance of a quick FREep to CSPAN, folks?

[stevem]

In all fairness, I can't imagine watching C-Span. The novelty wore off a number of years ago. I think the last "guest" I ever watched was Molly Ivens. She proved she had two talents worth mentioning (although I wouldn't waste time writing home about them). She proved she could giggle and spit, sometimes in a single thought, well part of one, since she never actually completed a thought.

The other thing that eventually affected you like a toilet paper commercial was the incessant callers starting some question with, "Thank God for C-Span." What drivel. It has to be 4 or 5 years since the last time I stopped at that insipid station. Thank God there are real outlets for news these days.

[Huck]

All due respect, but you have to be crazy. Where else can I go to get the full unedited broadcast of the President's speech on the Michigan case, and the full, unedited coverage of the opposition's response, etc.? With another chance to see it again later on in the evening?

Brian Lamb does some real excellent, patriotic, informative, constructive work. CSPAN is great.

[Ligeia]

For those who want to attend the rally C-Span won't cover, the Patriots kick off their counter-demonstration at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Constitution Gardens on the Mall off 21st Street and Constitution Avenue.

A bump for the good guys. Wear your longjohns!

[stevem]

If all C-Spann ever did was to show such unedited events, it might be worth another peek. Let me know when that comes to pass.

[Musket]

Not surprised. C-Span has really degenerated over the years.

Here's a "Go Get 'em" BUMP!!!!

GO CARL...GO NEWSMAX...GO USA PATRIOTS!!

Wish I could make it...D.C. is just too far away this time of year. Good luck guys, and PLEEZE, DON'T FREEZE (it's 5 degrees here. Mom says they had 6 inches of snow on VA's Eastern Shore last night)

[Angelwood]

DC Chapter ping!

FYI

Anyone coming to dinner tonight at Orleans House in Rosslyn? We will have a surprise...a good one! We are going to have a great planning meeting. News at 11.

[cake_crumb]

Sorry to hear that C-Span is still giving the patriots rally the cold shoulder. You were great on the C-Span call in programs I listened to, but C-Span apparently can't have anti-Saddam IRAQIS speaking to the public about Saddams atrocities, now can we??

[Welsh Rabbit]

The liberals at C-Span aren't helping their cause by showing these whacked-out loser freaks in all their glory...

[Angelwood]

You can start a live thread. I'll be at Constitution Gardens without my laptop. If anyone wants to relay information from our rally and the observance of the anti-war protesters' march to the Marine Barracks, please freepmail any of the DC Chapter member by this evening. We'll be out bright and early tomorrow.

WMAL just had a piece about the counterdemonstration on their hourly news. They had a clip of kristinn speaking.

[Timesink]

C-SPAN: (202) 737-3220

[concerned about politics]

the Iraqi flag, the Palestinian Liberation Organization flag and any flag representing Hezbollah, the terrorist group that blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983 killing 243 GIs. All three flags, however, have been displayed prominently at past ANSWER gatherings.

No shock there.

Terrorist love large gatherings. Gee, it would destroy America at it's very roots if the next terrorist attack were happen at the hate America rally.

I SAID....IT WOULD DESTROY AMERICA AT IT'S VERY ROOTS IF......

(Just kidding. I'd support deleting them off the planet, though. Start the millinium of peace early.)

[aristeides]

From Chris Core's intro to his show on WMAL, it sounds as if he's going to have someone from the counterdemonstrators on later in his show. He has an antiwar spokesperson on now.

[Angelwood]

Hi, I have to run and don't have time for another post. If you or anyone else would like to put it up.

Kristinn has been busy today with lots of interviews. He's supposed to go on live on WMAL, Chris Coor's show at 6:15 or so -- egads -- that's right about now!
