[Cultural Jihad]

Well, I didn't think the quote was all that bad to begin with, and one has to wonder whether an FR spokesperson (assuming one was there) can always be ignored by any so-called 'journalist' with an agenda anyway. I'll await the return of the participants to get their take on the event.

The comment they used was devoid of any significant content and did nothing to correctly portray the sentiments of the counter protestors. It WAS used to make us look as if we had no idea why we were there other than blind support for a republican administration. The lefty reporter won.

Wouldn't it have been better if any of these messages were the ones the reporter heard?

Of course, no one supports war. But, as in WWII, sometimes it's necessary for the brave and courageous to remove murderous dictators like Saddam Hussein to preserve freedom in the world.

We are here to support the removal of a tyrant who thinks nothing of invading and killing his neighbors, gassing and murdering his own people, and who supports and aids terrorists like those who flew planes into the WTC on 9-11.

We support the right of people to express their opinions, it is the center of the freedoms given to us in our constitution. However, the efforts of these protestors, who are supported by worldwide communists organizations, will only give aid and comfort to and embolden Saddam Hussein and lengthen the coming conflict in Irag which will end up in unnecessary suffering and deaths to the brave members of our military who are risking their lives to ensure those very same rights to these misguided protestors.

If you have a controlled number of people saying the same thing, backed up with a press kit, the press can either qoute what you want them to or or not. If they are looking for an unflattering comment they can use, better for all to stay quite because anything that is said will be used to put FR in as bad a light as possible.
