Associated Press writer David Ho

"When the marchers met another group of demonstrators waiting at Lafayette Park across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, there was a surge of enthusiasm and some began running toward, and over, the barricades blocking that section of the street."

Talk about bias and, in this case, a bald-faced lie! "a surge of enthusiasm" let's state the truth.

"The leftist anti-war protestor viciously attacked the peaceful gathering of Vietnam Veterans who were quietly standing in respect to the United States of America."

The above may be a slight bias, but it is much less biased than the reporter!

Well done Freepers! The local news didn't see fit to show any opposing points of view the the news. I'm so glad someone did!

You made the New York Times story about the anti-war demonstration and the Patriots Rally -- the last two paragraphs are about FR.

Two hours before the start of the antiwar rally here, supporters of the war effort held a counter protest on the National Mall, southeast of the Vietnam Memorial. Fewer than 100 people — mostly from two groups, one called Move-Out and another called Free Republic — waved flags as "The Star Spangled Banner" played over a portable speaker.

"We believe in America and what America stands for," said Joe Kernodle, a Vietnam veteran and spokesman for Move-Out. Many of the counter protesters were associated with the military, but Nina Burke and her husband, Steve, came from Fredericksburg, Va., as civilians. "We need to disarm Saddam before he sneaks a nuke into Chicago or New York, not after," Ms. Burke said.
