Local RTL stages walk this morning
Some of the local reich to life people got together in Dubuque this morning for a walk from Washington Park to the courthouse;

About 100 walkers marched from Washington Square to the Dubuque County Courthouse on Saturday to proclaim their opposition to Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion on Jan. 22, 1973.


Of course one of the head RTL persons is going on now in the comments section about how there was more people there. That's the favorite right wing tactic on display once again, exaggerating the number of people who do show up for their events;

carpente50 No only 400 are able to go, many thousands more can't. & I counted about 150 people there today, not the 100 the TH undercounbted.


In other words, he probably counted people such as myself who happened to be going in to the post office (such as myself) as well as downtown residents and anyone in the vicinity of the Roeshek Building (IBM).

1. Why are they walking in this cold weather?
Are they nuts? Oh wait... Quite frankly, here in this Iowa cold, there is not much sense in any sort of protest type of march.
