Be Cool, People. We ARE the majority now.
So Cspan didn't give us the coverage we wanted and the other media biggies are ignoring the march....for now. I still believe we will see coverage of this event...maybe not live, but as a later report. But even if we don't....We. Are. The. Majority. Now.

We will make our voices heard.

2. That's right
This will be all over the Internets. The MSM can't prevent us from seeing it in all its glory. And more and more people will be asking themselves in disgust why the MSM didn't cover this event adequately.

3. They will have to show it sometime
I agree with you - 300,000 plus people in DC is massive. We all knew MSM was going to deliberately focus on Rita today. By ignoring the march, they're just makignmore people angry.
I'll watch CBS later and BBC already showed the march.

9. But
couldn't that be turned around?

First we ignored the neocon/christian/corporatist movement, then we ridiculed them, we're fighting them, but they'll end up winning.

Just saying.

5. You're right, thanks
All the polls show that we are the majority (even the ones who are trying hard to show the opposite). There are many many people sitting at home today who support our cause, in addition to the hundreds of thousands in DC.

7. Remember - 40% strongly disapprove of Bush's performance
I remember reading that about a poll where his approval was 39% or so and disapproval 57% or so. His "approval" includes "strong" (brain dead freepers), "moderate," and "weak." The strong disapproval exceeded all forms of approval.

Where are the Dems? It doesn't even require a spine to side with the majority of the American people.
