1. Mo, what in heavens name are you talking about? I spoke with Will and

he's holding off because others from Truthout are coming tomorrow. What did I miss?

[mopaul]

2. just going by his latest post, unless he's changed plans

4. He's referring to all the naysayers telling folks not to go

not stopping people...

5. A clarification:

I'm one of those "naysayers", and I think it's great that Will Pitt is going down there to cover Cindy's story.

I just want to keep it Cindy's story.

7. IMHO, I don't much care what you think of me.

I'd rather discuss the issue at hand.

10. Your opinion is trumped by Cindy's requests

That's just a fact. Get over it.

[Goldmund]

13. My opinion will be trumped if, and only if,

a bunch of people show up, and it turns into a victory for the anti-war cause.

Then I'll eat crow, and boy, will it taste sweet.

Until then, my opinion is as valid as yours.

11. I am delighted that people are going in droves

I don't feel that massive reinforcements will dilute her story at all!

I am concerned about what the admin will pull
(calling in the guard like they did in the 60's comes to mind -- although what the hell...they're all in Iraq, right?)

I think all in all there is safety in numbers and I will be sending good vibes to all those who are going!

16. I was against people going as well.

I didn't want it turned into a circus. Just my opinion.

It's the difference between the lone man in Tianamen square, and 5000 people in tianemen square. Just seemed more symbolic this way.

When 6000 protestors show up - it becomes "A bunch of anti-war hippies stormed Crawford and were arrested" End of story.

As of now it's "one mother's fight against the tyranny of the * regime"

I'll send $, food water whatever. I was of the opinion that it will turn into another protest ignored by the MSM and radicalized by the wingnuts.

Now if a million people show up.......

If Cindy wants people there - let the floodgates open.

[Goldmund]

19. Hehe

If a MILLION people showed up... And STAYED THERE until they got some TANGIBLE RESULTS -- like protesters do in Europe, unlike what we do: take a stroll and call it a day... Well then I'd reconsider my opinion.

I'm working under the assumption that there is no way we'd ever see more than 50K. 5K is more likely.

8. Change of plans

The original TO crew heading down got snarled up in the details, so I am jumping in.

[mopaul]

9. rock forward

[stellanoir]

3. I wouldn't dream of it

and am driving tremendous vicarious pleasure and sending great prayers for all involved.

[WilliamPitt]

12. LOL

Thanks. :)

14. I think this should be just Cindy & Vets & people. We all want to support

but the freepers & GOP liars are having trouble painting her as anything than what she is - because nobody famous is there. Just them. People.

I am all for all sorts of public joining her. Just so the message stays clear on what this is all about.

[WilliamPitt]

15. I am going as a journalist

with camera and microphone in hand.

[applegrove]

17. Excellent. Don't let yourself get used by the GOP desperate to"

re-brand this as some other story". Hold onto that microphone the whole time you are there. Like Glue! You hear!!!

:hi:

[applegrove]

18. The GOP doesn't care about Dems or anyone who knows your name

and knows you are a journalist. All they need is to brand the event as something other than Cindy & vets - to their own patsy masses. Better yet - write "press" across your face!
