2. Sure it wasn't 1000 released from Abu Ghraib?

Was that what they were talking about?

[WillyT]

3. I Saw About 8 In The First Shot, And About 30 In the Second Shot...

That PR firm that put this fake anti-Sheehan rally together, certainly seems to be earning its money!

:wtf:

9. It would not surprise me!

Spin / truth stretching is their signature tactic.

4. Did ABC phrase it as "Anti-Sheehan"?

That's a digusting sentiment and I hope America sees it for what it is (anti-Sheehan)

7. anti - Sheehan

Fucking unreal........we need some tee shirts for sure.........send all the pro-war people to Iraq, they can relieve some of our troops, but they are all mouth and are to afraid to really stand for what they say..............fucking cowards with a sign!

5. same people 'counting' who counted the 'thousands' worldwide

who tried to prevent the war.. All other news outlets counted millions, yet our media only saw thousands:shrug:..

6. 1000 is closer to the number than the other channels have been

reporting. they were saying 3000, and 3000 expected. or 1500. so abc closest so far

8. i just got back from camp casey and the peace house....

there's no way there were 1000 pro-war/anti-peace protesters. there were dozens maybe. it was your basic white trash. ugly, loud mouthed, rednecks driving big trucks with lots of "we support the troops and pres bush" signs.

on the other hand, camp casey was loaded with people. joan baez played. cindy spoke. it was nice.

10. Yep... They Had A Shot Of An Idiot Driving By In A Hummer !!!

Apparently it's OK to let other people's kids die for your right to drive a fucking tank!!!

Utterly disgusting, but a perfect metaphor.

:argh::wtf::argh:

Oh, and BTW - Thank you very much for goin to Camp Casey, and representing those of us who cannot!

:hi::yourock::hi:

Thanks...
