http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/cvn_convention_rdp

Thousands Hit NYC Streets; Cheney Arrives

<snip>
NEW YORK - Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched past the Madison Square Garden site of the Republican National Convention on Sunday, chanting, blowing whistles and carrying anti-war banners as delegates gathered to nominate President Bush (news - web sites) for a second term.
********************************************************************

Tens of thousands, now imagine that. Who am I to believe, my eyes or these guys?

[SW FL Dem]

46. Gotta be. The march has been going on for over 3 hours

now and the people are still coming! How anyone can say tens of thousands with a straight face is beyond me.

[AgadorSparticus]

[madmax]

11. Here :-)

MSNBC just showed a clip of a protester being arrested blah, blah.
Switched back to CSPAN. Fifty-eight arrests so far..big whoooop di doo. There are 100's of thousands of protesters. So far, so good.

:kick:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. sadly, no cspan

so I'm following via AAR and msnbc (no audio unless its the protests)

[nostamj]

21. can't you watch from the c-span site???

www.c-span.org

they're streaming the video

[2Design]

39. where on the site

[iconoclastic cat]

Thanks!

I forgot that they had streaming video. Duh for me!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

51. couldn't get it to work, either

eom

[acmavm]

13. Yeah, but I'm sure by tomorrow they'll do something to make me angry.

But then again, without CSPAN, who would have seen the O'Reilly/Franken fracas? One of the high points of television viewing within the last few years IMO.

[calimary]

14. ME! Had to go check it out on CSPAN.

From mopaul: [e-mail] - to email them a thank-you for their unedited coverage. They just set the cameras in place and let 'em roll. And they rolled as half of humanity walked by. Apparently it was wall-to-wall like that for about three hours. Until some idiot set off that bonfire and the street had to be blocked off so the police and FDNY could put the fire out. Wonder which of the roving rovians did that?

[XanaDUer]

15. Here.

It's great.

[Leilani]

16. Watching this is worth it

just to hear them yell...FOX News sucks!

LOL!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

118. Give Fox News stink eye!

[lapfog_1]

17. YES

I'm lovin it.

Lots of great signs and slogans, but that tired "Hey hey, ho ho..."
is getting old.

So many people saying "Fox News Sucks!" - That ROCKS!

I really like the "empty warhead in Washington" sign (as commented
on in another thread here).

These people (the protesters) are VERY informed. Many DUers
are there. Not single issue, LOTS of issues, all bad for the
BFEE.

[Christof]

18. I'm loving this protest.

I'm glad people are doing this. :toast: :)

[goclark]

41. It is Energized!!!

[B Calm]

19. Behind the Hoosier Iron Curtain & watching the protest in NY!

[Leilani]

33. Hoosier Iron Curtain

LOL!

[VolcanoJen]

20. What a glorious, glorious day!!!!!

I'm so proud I think I'm going to burst.

It's good to know you're not alone. It's good to see free speech and democracy in action.

And it's especially rewarding to hear chants of "FOX NEWS SUCKS! FOX NEWS SUCKS!" coming from my television, instead of my own mouth!

:D :bounce: :D

Oh, happy day!!

[tridim]

24. The dude singing in the bullhorn right now

kicks ass! I'm enjoying the hell out of this. :)

[swag]

25. lovin' it, streaming to my laptop from c-span.org and the NYDOT

webcams.


And DU posts.

Tell me how democracy looks:
This is how democracy looks.

[TeeYiYi]

27. "Fox News . . . FULL OF SHIT!" ... n/t

TYY

[KoKo]

28. I've been glued to it since Noon! Feel like I'm there! Energy is

incredible....and is so great to re-energize me! Checking back and forth CNN/MSNBC and it's all Bush all the time, except for a short MSNBC
segment with Alex Witt where she showed 53 protestors being arrested and actually told the studio to "turn it up" to get the police sirens and pictures of arrest. BLECH! C-Span has been great showing this all day.

[still_one]

29. CSPAN is the only avenue which shows all SIDES

everyone else has an agenda

[Leilani]

59. Exactly!

They really are Fair & Balanced!

[laruemtt]

30. lovin' it!

wish i were there....

[moobu2]

31. Bush/Cheney-----ASSes of EVIL

Wish I was there

[Feanorcurufinwe]

32. This is great

I'm really enjoying it

[mockmonkey]

34. Even with Dial-up

and this horrible streaming I am enjoying this C-Span coverage!

Thanks C-Span!

[imax2268]

35. this is great...

look at all those people...

[burrowowl]

36. Love it

Brings tears to my eyes!

[caledesi]

37. I just woke up an hour ago and immediately went to DU and

then turned on C-Span. It's great. I am loving it. Thanks DUers (you always come thru).

What's the count at this protest?

[Leilani]

38. I think we all needed a lift

And this is it!!!

[iconoclastic cat]

40. I'm watching DUers watching the protests, does that count?

I can't get AAR's stream to load, and I don't have cable. Next best thing: Hang out at DU!
:hi:

[laruemtt]

47. catch the contact high, i.cat!! n/t

[iconoclastic cat]

52. Oh, yeah!

Actually, I'm streaming it off of CSPAN now. Cool!

[KoKo]

81. If you can imagine what looks like MILLIONS of ordinary Americans with

signs, banners, and all kinds of hand made graphic displays with every thing you can think to critize Haliburton, Evil Empire, War, Bush Criminals Massed for what looks like miles stretched down 7th Avenue...A SEA OF HUMANITY all singing dancing shouting with all kinds of improvised drums, shakers, jinglers, bells, whistles and energy that makes you want to jump up and down and join in...that's what it is.

It's unbelievable....Like a giant street party with all of "liberal" humanity expressing it's disgust with the Bushies and their policies and
I see that "we are not alone" and if all of America is as upset as we and the marchers are, there's no way Bush is going to get another four years...and the media better be alerted. Especially Fox...because the anger at them is just incredible...with shouts of Fox News Sucks out of every group passing by the cameras.

[iconoclastic cat]

85. Yep, it's amazing. I'm watching the vidstream on CSPAN online.

I wonder how many are really there.

[KoKo]

90. OMG...Looks like they have 900 Flag-Draped Coffins coming down the

street. Incredible!

[ezekiel333]

43. A Great Day!

Faux News, CNN, MSNBC, & All the networks can shove their "polls", we are taking Our America back in November. And all they had to do today was look outside their windows or turn on CSPAN to know it.

[Leilani]

68. All the Talking Heads are so busy

talking to each other,

they are not listening to the PEOPLE!

[catmandu57]

44. Hours and hours

with no end in sight. How many people do you suppose would love to be there that can't? Kudos to cspan for today but you know the reptiles are going to own the next four.

[Leilani]

53. Every protester is a vote

& they outnumber the delegates!

[MountainMamma]

74. Ditto Kudos to CSPAN

I'm going to let them know how much I loved them allowing me to be there vicariously. This didn't need words, the pictures were so wonderful and at last we have had a chance to show our disapproval to all of these evil actions that have been done in our name. THANK YOU CSPAN. YOU ARE MY STAR!

[ronnykmarshall]

92. I LOVE C-SPAN!

They have the guts to cover this.

:loveya: C-SPAN

[cal04]

45. CSpan TV is Awesome

Send fox news home to texas with Bush

[realFedUp]

48. oh, yeah...

can't stop watching. heartening.

[underseasurveyor]

49. Watching C-span on line

Enjoying it very much despite the fact I only have dial up available and the streaming is somewhat blurry. The sound is good though. Better than nothing :thumbsup:
On-ward brothers and sisters :bounce:

[jasmeel]

50. Me too!

Wish I was there!

[Richard D]

54. Do you get the feeling . . .

. . . that we're not alone!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

55. You Betcha!

Great stuff!

[SW FL Dem]

56. They are showing the coffins now.

Very powerful and moving.

[KoKo]

57. Big display of "flag draped coffins." Those 'things we aren't supposed to

see in Bush's war!

[drdigi420]

58. Bush is a Wimp!

More FuCKING less FIGHTING!

just when youre ready to give up on your country, this

im glad to be an American today, even if the mass media
doesnt show it

[JohnOneillsMemory]

60. Overwhelming affirmation of HUMANITY! Glorious humanity.

The anti-fascism movement comes clearly in view of TV Nation.

I'm oscillating sympathetically.

[Robbien]

61. Have several hours on tape. Going to watch it again tonight while

enjoying pizza, beer and friends.

Yay! New York City!

[DemWitch]

channel flipping like a madman

C-SPAN by far best coverage

[Feanorcurufinwe]

62. I'm proud to be an American today

[realFedUp]

63. This protest parade needs a choreographer

and maybe some better music :-)

next time.

[KharmaTrain]

64. You Are Seeing 1,000,000 Anti-Regime Votes!

Great coverage on C-SPAN. Special kudos to the NYPD that has really done a great job with keeping things cool...even during the fire...and the marchers who are saying more by their cool than any chant could.

I'm extremely heartened by what I'm seeing since these people WILL VOTE. And behind each one is another one or two or ten of us. We're all united in regime change and restoring some semblence of democracy to this country.

I finally am seeing the end of the parade...4 Hours later!!!

BTW...I saw a blimp overhead...wonder whose it was and where the pictures are from it.

On Edit: Just saw a very buxom blonde...pouring out of a top...with the sign "Less Fighting, More Fucking"...LOL!!! Thanks C-SPAN!!!!

[starroute]

83. Closeup of bllimp -- says both "FujiFilm" and "NYPD"

What's that about? Is Fuji renting to the NYPD? Or is the NYPD taking advertising?

[KoKo]

87. Saw that, too. "Privitization" in Bush's America.....Ugh...n/t

[faithnotgreed]

65. proud proud proud of the patriots today. thanks to cspan & new york

[not systems]

66. great!

[mfritz]

67. Did you see the Ron / Moron sign!

That was the best! Had side by side head shots of Reagan and Bush wearing cowboy hats, labeled Ron and Moron.

I love that sign! Wish I had a picture of it.

[realFedUp]

70. Big anti-Bush banner across crowd

love it.

[thecrow]

71. I wish I was there!

BUT I AM LOVIN' IT OH YEAH!!!

[drdigi420]

72. Bomb Texas, They have OIL too!

hahahahahahahaha

[jessicazi]

73. 250,000 protestors

that is the number MSNBC just reported.

[Leilani]

89. CNN just reported from Central Park

that the march is over!

[realFedUp]

75. "This is what democracy looks like"

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

I'm happy to sau our family will all be supporting Kerry!

[cornfedyank]
