WhodeyUK,

That's it, something you took out of context and that's it.

I shouldn't have expected as much, that's usually par for the course from you.

[quote]I have just watched the "news" on Channel 4 in NBC in Washington DC. Their statement of "tens of thousands of protesters" is flat out wrong! More biased coverage - NBC never showed the number of vets other than the ones at the Wall. Thousands of Vets were everywhere. Perhaps NBC had to inflate the numbers because the crowd was so much smaller than expected. In addition, they had to revert to film from 1967 to show larger crowds. It also appears the "name" speakers didn't arrive because only Cindy Sheehan was shown. 'Tis a national disgrace when the media must enforce its anti-freedom agenda on the public.[/quote]


As someone who has worked at Channel 4 in NBC in Washington DC (WRC-TV). (About 11 years ago) I would just have to laugh at that statement, I know many of the reporters and while they may have their bias they do their job.

And as usual, you ignored a direct question of you. If it's not a cut and paste from some 3rd party, you never seem to have much to say.

The fact of the matter is, some of us think the best way to support the men in uniform is to not put them into the line of fire for some bullshit cause. Why this is so hard to understand, I have not a clue.

Depends, while I did not see the report as I was out with BJ and CinciInDC. The coverage of polotical issues is usually handeled by Tom Sherwood.

True story, I worked on the '96 election website for NBC4 and we were in the newsroom on election night, Sherwood came over to 'shoot the shit' with us we talked about Perot and the reason he had no chance the 2nd time as he was percived as a 'nut' after dropping out the 1st time. From the conversation we had with him it appeared to me that he seemed to be pretty even handed and fair but liked to read the tea leaves like anyone else.

If Sherwood did the report, I'd say it was most likely a fair one. Also however they have to send their reports to the person in charge of the newsroom (forget the technical name) so all reports have to be filtered to keep personal agendas out anyway. (After a reporter did this a few years after I left).

Exactly...Why suffer through getting an education when all you need is to read a few Blog entries to confirm your world-view?

Besides...Post-secondary institutions are notorious havens for COMMIES and homosexuals.

Is Political Science or Quantum Physics really worth the risk to your immortal soul?

[b]Watched the whole thing .... gotta hand it to the Malkin Dittoheads .... they did a good job of skewing the reality of the march ... they still weren't able to make their 300 people look like 30,000 though. [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/37.gif[/img]


A few lines I really enjoyed ...


- The soldier saying that the Anti War Protestors were upset about nothing .... (Yeah I guess 3,000 dead Americans and between 100-600,000 dead Iraqis) is nothing I guess

- Malkin: "They cherry picked photos to cast the peaceful eagles in a bad light" .... FUCK YOU MALKIN .... I looked these assholes right in the eye and watched them say that Jesus wanted me dead ... I was flipped off over 100 times ... I watched a young kid on their side say that I should hung like Saddam. I watched them tear up a young girls peace sign ... I saw a guy with a sign that said - Make a world without Islam ... peaceful my ass .... the majority of them appeared to be Drunk bikers .... who cussed every 5 words through blowhorns ... and thought the majority of us should be arrested or killed.

His conversion to the Religion of Peace made him a bigger asshole. Islam gave him a whole new set of reasons to hate America. He wrote in 1994, "When we begin to look critically at the Constitution of the United States, we see that in its main essence it is diametrically opposed to what Allah has commanded." He was suspected in connection with a dozen different homicides, finally getting his radical ass arrested for shooting a drug dealer in the legs four times.

BB,

I prefer not to do this, but someone has to. I am not of the Politcally Correct mindset and in the past I nelieve I have made that clear. Therefore it is understandable that I may appear an extremist (on the right),
but the truth of the matter is that I am a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Dog_Democrats"]Blue Dog Democrat[/url].

NO MATTER WHAT THE MEDIA TELLS YOU, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT UNSEATED THE REPUBLICANS IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS, so there is hope. Check-out the vote count on the recently (this past week) House -passed spending bill.

Go back and review the thread. You will see that when BJ stated that something to the effect " visiting DC,
you can't help but fee patriotic" I was moved. Additionally, we all started discussing the monuments.

I then presented images from PORTLAND, OREGON and made the statement that I did not think this COULD happen in DC.

It was BJ who became DEFENSIVE attempting to distance the DC protestors and himself from these ANARCHIST.

Well there was a similar demonstration in January; is this like a monthly thing :unsure:
Anyways, they left their "calling card" on the Capitol steps:

oh how cute;

[img]http://www.schuminweb.com/images/life-and-times/2007/j27/132.jpg[/img]

What 9/10 years old?

Back to the present, when this march was announced, word got out that there path would take them past the Vietnam war memorial. Well some people got wind of this and were not pleased. From which the [url="http://www.gatheringofeagles.org/?page_id=83"]"Gathering of Eagles"[/url] was formed.

Their sole intent was to defend the monument; the anarchist could not get to the wall.

I doubt they even tried, Rolling Thunder was afoot. ;)

Finally, it is true I wanted to expose who these groups were; I feel I have been sucessfull enough in this endeavor.

The bottomline: These anti-war crowd have one message, America bad. Socialism/Communism good.

With conspiracy theories abound, to most of the students, the US government is an evil thing that knocked the twin towers down for an excuse to steal Iraqi oil.

This bullshit has to end; and then you have BJ (running around behind a Vendetta mask) attempting to portray
his group as bunch of "little angels", he is being disengious and the evidence suggest otherwise.

I have no-problem with peaceful demonstrations and I disapprove of any hostilities directed at one side from
the other, to include the exchange of vulgarity and spitting on someone:

But, if there is a counter-protest taking place, how about a little fair coverage for them also by the MSM. <_<

[color="#000080"]Power to the People
by Jack Langer (More by this author)

Posted: 03/19/2007
I could tell right away this wasn’t going to be your average Washington D.C. anti-war protest.

For months, the anti-war coalition International A.N.S.W.E.R. had been publicizing its plans to hold a major anti-war rally in the nation’s capital on Saturday, March 17. However, reaching the protest staging site next to the Lincoln Memorial at 11:00 -- an hour before the protestors were slated to begin marching to the Pentagon -- I found the field nearly empty. Across the street stood several thousand counter-demonstrators, mostly comprised of Vietnam War veterans associated with various biker clubs. Wearing leather jackets emblazoned with organization names like “Rolling Thunder,” “Legacy Vets,” and “Combat Veterans of America Motorcycle Club,” the vets had turned out to stand guard at the Vietnam Wall and other monuments after some sites were desecrated at an anti-war rally in January. The vets were a grizzled, tough-looking lot, and their presence seemed to surprise the handful of Chinese tourists snapping photos in the area.

Across the street, the war protestors were arriving late with their usual collection of Che Guevara banners, placards decrying American imperialism, and bizarre signs denouncing the 9/11 attacks as a government-orchestrated conspiracy. Some tables were set up offering books and pamphlets advocating socialism while a few enterprising capitalists worked the crowd, briskly selling T-shirts commemorating the march. As they arrived, the protestors were entertained by a DJ who, we were informed over the loudspeakers, was from Puerto Rico – “the first country invaded by the U.S.” He played the Edwin Starr protest classic “War (What is it good for?)” several dozen times, it seemed, then launched into James Brown’s “I’m Black and I’m Proud,” as the mostly white crowd sang along.

Eventually, around 15,000 protestors arrived -- appearing to me about the same number as attended the January anti-war rally..This must have been a severe disappointment to A.N.S.W.E.R., which had drawn upwards of 100,000 people to previous protests. The poor turnout at this year’s rallies can largely be attributed to a schism between A.N.S.W.E.R. and the other main anti-war coalition, United for Peace and Justice. The two groups used to sponsor these rallies together, but have recently ceased cooperating.

Their dispute stems from two factors. First, there was some squabbling over the amount of time given to each group’s speakers at past rallies -- a surprising bit of selfishness from people who drive cars with bumper stickers proclaiming that everything they need to know they learned in kindergarten. Second, there was a disagreement over the Israel-Palestine issue. Apparently, A.N.S.W.E.R.’s position is that the Jews should be driven into the sea, while UPJ, being slightly more moderate, seeks to convince the Jews through peaceful dialogue to throw themselves in.

Before setting off for the Pentagon, the war protestors were addressed by a few speakers. The veterans watched quietly from just across the street until Cindy Sheehan was introduced. Even before she denounced President Bush as “the greatest terrorist in the world,” the mention of Sheehan’s name elicited from the vets a rigorous round of booing the likes of which is rarely heard outside the confines of a Philadelphia Eagles home game.

Finally, the march began. It was a motley collection of organizations and interest groups. The parade was led by a collection of anti-war military veterans, followed by the radical feminists of Code Pink. Then came a group of “drummers” who were really just banging sticks on the bottom of some empty pails, succeeded by the mandatory contingent of masked anarchists. Further back were lots of hippie-throwbacks, a good number of college students, some refugee from an anarchist rodeo twirling a lasso around himself, and a variety of people waving Lebanese and Palestinian flags. There were a few American flags as well, although nearly all of these were defaced with peace signs, political slogans, or sardonic renditions of corporate symbols.

The counter-demonstrators lined the first few hundred yards of the parade route, sometimes on both sides. Waving American flags, the vets gave the marchers a generally good heckling; “Go impress your professors!” was my favorite epithet. Despite their fetish for the right to “dissent,” the war protestors are unaccustomed to opposition, aside perhaps from a lone College Republican or two that might show up with an American flag at a campus protest. But these counter-demonstrators were different. They were combat veterans who still bristle at the memory of being jeered by these kinds of radicals when they returned from Vietnam. The marchers seemed not only nervous, but even ashamed -- to prove their patriotism to the vets, they began chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” This was probably the first time that chant has ever been heard at an anti-war rally.

I fell in with the anarchists, since that’s where the action usually is. There were around 100 of them, although the number of face piercings exceeded that by a factor of 10, even with most of their nose rings and tongue rings hidden by masks and bandanas. Their banners proclaimed slogans like “Destroy all government” and “No war but class war.” The vets yelled out to them “Come over here!” and “Show your faces!” Declining either invitation, the anarchists responded by chanting “Whose streets? Our streets!”

But the chant lacked conviction, seeing as the only thing protecting the anarchists from a smackdown by the vets was the line of police officers separating the two sides. I spotted a group of four anarchists carrying an upside down American flag and wondered how far they’d get with it. It turned out to be about 50 yards. Then, a vet managed to infiltrate the parade and snatched the flag from them, causing all four members of the revolutionary vanguard to run scurrying away.

After parading through this gauntlet of counter-protestors, the rest of the march was pretty subdued. I walked back toward a portable loudspeaker surrounded by Palestinian flags.[b] A speaker was leading a chant of “Stop bombing Lebanon!”, which I found strange, since no one is bombing Lebanon.[/b] :wacko: The chanting stopped when the microphone was passed to a Middle Eastern woman whose accent was so thick that no one could understand what they were supposed to be protesting. Finally, they agreed on singing another refrain of “War,” which seemed to be their automatic fallback position for almost any unexpected situation.

We arrived at the Pentagon parking lot, where a DJ was again playing “War.” I couldn’t take the song anymore, so I wandered off in search of the anarchists. I found them at the end of a bridge leading to the Pentagon itself. They were facing a line of police officers in full riot gear, replete with gas masks. “Whose streets? Our streets!” rang out again, but it was pretty clear whose streets these were, since the anarchists weren’t allowed to keep marching forward on them.

The police announced through a bullhorn that they’d use teargas if the protestors didn’t return to the parking lot. In response, a female-looking anarchist in dreadlocks yelled out to me and some other reporters nearby, [u]asking if we’d help get the word out that the police, without cause, had gassed peaceful protestors. “No!” I instinctively yelled back, eliciting some shocked stares from the anarchists. Another anarchist approached us and asked if we’d stand between them and the police to prevent the cops from “attacking” them. He pointed to one elderly female reporter: “You ma’am, if you get in the middle, there’s no way the police will knock you over.” The request caught me off guard -- I was unaware that old women are used as human shields anywhere outside of the Middle East. [/u]

The group sat down in front of the police to decide what to do. Some people passed out food, at which point most of the anarchists removed their masks and bandanas to eat, then put them back on when they had finished. My respect for this bunch was rapidly declining.

They took a series of votes, decided to leave the bridge to the police, and backed off about 20 yards. Then, in one final act of “resistance” before vacating the bridge, one of them burned an American flag, to the cheers of all the rest. This incident went unreported in all of the mainstream media, despite the presence on the bridge of numerous journalists and photographers.

Walking home, I reflected on what the anti-war movement has degenerated into -- a squabbling collection of aging socialists, pro-Palestinian militants, and cowardly anarchists. The Vietnam vets -- who were there just to protect our monuments and show support for the troops -- had a surprising effect on the protestors. “Fight back! Fight back!” was one of the protestors’ slogans. But it was all talk. When confronted by people who actually fought and bled for their country, the protestors grew sheepish and embarrassed -- I would even say humiliated.

[b]I couldn’t help but notice that the anarchists – the supposed hardcore fringe of the movement – waited until they were safely out of range of the veterans to burn a flag. Afraid of the vets, afraid of the cops, they don’t seem to be good for much other than occasionally smashing storefront windows when there’s no one else around. [/b]

Let's put it into perspective ([url="http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/horsesmouth/2007/03/another_wingnut.php"]read full entry here[/url]):

[quote][b]Another Wingnut Obsession a Lie[/b]
March 24, 2007 -- 10:27 AM EST // View Comments (25) // Post a Comment

Here's a little light weekend entertainment for you: Our first installment of "Another Wingnut Obsession a Lie," or AWOL -- as in awol from reality, decency, sanity.

Today's edition of AWOL stars Michelle Malkin and winger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs. For days now, Malkin and Johnson -- with an assist from Drudge and other righties -- have been pretending to be outraged by the fact that protesters burned a U.S. soldier in effigy and did other loathsome things during an antiwar protest in Portland. They are both desperately trying to turn this into something representative of antiwar sentiment as a whole, but in a laughably dishonest way.

The reason this is worth our time is that it's part of a much larger winger campaign of desperation to seize on isolated nutty and despicable acts to shore up the rapidly collapsing GOP argument that the Antiwar Majority's opposition to the war is anti-troops. This campaign relies on everything from lies like today's edition of AWOL to evoking cultural memories of allegedly spat-upon Vietnam veterans. Gotta knock it down every time it pops up.[/quote]
