Just what are the latest numbers of supporters?

[DanCa]

I was wondering the latest count of our side and the Bushies. And have the military recruiters showed up yet?

1. Must be several thousand by now. See here:

6. saying each side wants you think there are more--saying about 200

on each side.

2. CNN is saying thousands of pro-war, pro-Bush supporters

but then when they show them, it's a very thin crowd. What gives? Are they going by the RW advance propaganda and choosing not to believe their own eyes?

5. Same old story every rally..We'll have 10,000, they'll have 100 and...

the media will report 1000 on each side.

As I keep saying, the main goal of propaganda is "Everyone loves Big Brother. You should too (or keep your opinion to yourself)."

7. Anyone watching CNN headline news?

The announcer keep saying that both sides want you to believe that thousands are there for their cause but in reality it's not. He's making it seem that there aren't alot of protestors there. I could hear him saying it for the pro war pro Bush group but he is also saying it for the peace group. The video they showed was the peace camp where there were only a few people under them.

8. Typical the daily herald did a hatchet job on my cindy vigil.

"a few supporters showed up.. sang songs.." than since we had no protesters that invented or found thier own. Is this yellow journalism or what?.
