You thought that was bad...getta load of this BS...(snip from AP via AOL)

Anti-War Protesters March Across U.S. by Tara Burghart AP NEW YORK (March 22) - Anti-war activists marched again Saturday in dozens of cities, marshaling well over 100,000 in Manhattan and sometimes trading insults with backers of the U.S.-led war on Iraq. War backers rallied too, often by the thousands, with American flags and chants of ``USA!''

In Chicago, some of about 800 troop supporters came within 20 feet of a small group of anti-war activists outside a federal building. As the protesters shouted ``killers, killers, killers,'' a military backer yelled back ``idiots, idiots, idiots.'' Later, about 500 anti-war protesters marched around the same building.

Carrying peace signs and wearing costumes, demonstrators in New York spanned 30 blocks as they marched down Broadway toward Washington Square Park. Unofficial police estimates put the crowd at more than 125,000; United for Peace and Justice, the march organizers, estimated the crowd at more than 250,000.

Yeah...there's no bias here! /sarcasm off

What's sad is the bias is not in the numbers, but the failure to report correctly. What they are reporting is the 500 or so who went and stood face to face after the other 3000-4000 left. They reported the number based on 2p, not 1p when the rally was in full swing.

I'm sticking with what the officer told me "5000 Pro USA in Federal Plaza today!"

The liberal media can bite me.

It must have been that small contingent, a miniscule percentage, of our people who turned away from the podium and went to confront the antis.
