Fox News: NYC Protests got well UNDER 100,000 people!
Fox News | February 15, 2003

Posted on 02/15/2003 12:13:01 PM PST by Dont Mention the War

A reporter at the UN just reported that the Manhattan protests got nowhere *near* the 100,000 they were predicting, big empty holes in the specified protest area, and sporadic arrests. It's already broken up because they never got to critical mass.

A total failure!

Too bad that the news never shows that every time the anti-America/anti-Bush/pro-appeasement/pro-pali/Free Mumia/hate Israel crowd gets together, some jihadis always manage to show up, like in NYC today:

A Jihad Close-Up:

Say what you will but FOX news is starting to lean LEFT.As you check out the other networks covering these protests it's hard to tell the difference between them and FOX.A real lovefest with all the glorification BUT ABSOLUTELY NO SCRUTINY OF ANY KIND!These jerks are not anti-war protesters but terrorist sympathizers.

GW took a little too long to go after Sodom Insane. The Democratic Socialists of America have been planning seditious activities for 3.5 months now, it just took a while to herd in and hose off the homeless bums in time for the march. On the DSA site (hold your nose):

"Therefore, DSA opposes military intervention in Iraq and will work with like-minded organizations to organize effective political opposition to this war and the new strategic and military doctrines. DSA calls upon its members to join in political action in opposition to military action against Iraq. Adopted October 6, 2002"

Where in the heck do you think Pelosi, Jackson and McKinney get their marching orders?

You are right about the high number of Muslim protestors. France has high unemployment and a lot of angry young Muslim men. French politicians are scared to death of them. When these Muslims start burning Paris watch Frenchie cry to the US for help.

Of course! Because the American people stand behind their president. That is why he must invade after March 3rd (new moon). The Communist and Muslim pigs we saw in the streets of Europe don't count when we all vote next year.

F**k Europe! LIBERATE IRAQ!!! THROW THE FRENCH, GERMAN AND RUSSIAN COMPANIES OUT!!

They've been reporting inflated numbers, with the London correspondent (a combo John Cleese/Matthew Lesko) reporting "500,000, one million, possibly two million protestors."

You describe that retard perfectly. He was simply beside himself with glee at these protests...I actually heard him say "up to 2 million people"! Unreal bias.

You have already voted. Here are the poll results:
Iraq: Will anti-war march stop military action?
Expires:28 Feb 2003
Yes 10.08%
No 89.91%

That's a Sky News poll, straight out of London. Even THEY know what they're doing is pointless!

Didn't Clinton, of all people, do the old Cruise-missile-up-the-camel's-butt thing after Saddam tried to assassinate 41 in 1993? Clinton BOMBED IRAQ. Where were the protests?

He also lobbed bombs on Baghdad literally the night before he was going to be impeached. No protests there, surprisingly...

It would be rather disturbing to marching in an "anti-war" rally on the dust of the WTC victims.

289 Million Americans Avoid Peace Rallies

(2003-01-19) -- Police across the nation estimate the crowd that avoided yesterday's anti-war demonstrations at about 289 million. Americans from coast-to-coast voted in absentia against criticizing the Bush administration for Iraq's failure to comply with U.N. resolutions.

Anti-anti-war demonstrators gathered in grocery stores, shopping malls and private homes to proclaim their disagreement with protestors marching in the streets of Washington D.C. and San Francisco.

"Going about my regular Saturday routine is my way of saying I disagree with the radical left-wing agenda of the anti-Bush crowd," said college student Melanie Sampson, who spent the day preparing a term paper for a literature course.

Police reported no unusual problems with the droves that stayed away from the protests.

"It was a normal Saturday in America," said one Sheriff's deputy

Before or after the French surrender? Actually, the French have already surrendered to the Muslim Islamofacists. The French and Muslims have one important view in common--they are rabid Jew haters. If Paris does burn, I'll be about as sympathetic towards the Parisians as I am towards the Palestinians who glorify and admire terrorists/murderers and always blame all of the world's problems on the Jews and the US. (That means zero sympathy.)

Bella Abzug was more than floppy hats, she would address meetings of NOW in NYC wearing black full body leotards sans undergarments, and a floppy hat. Not a pretty picture.
