138. I think I've figured it out...
They are just posing as Christians, and actually worship Mars, the god of war.

Maybe that would explain the motivation to extend the Empire, too....

Isn't there some standard for C-Span coverage that is proportional to public support? Obviously, this event is a flop. Well, it's good that we'll have it captured on video.

23. I'm sorry, I had to switch it off after five minutes.
Right after that Kristinn fellow from Freerepublic came on. I mean, bless C-SPAN for airing both rallies. I felt so good hearing the voices in Washington yesterday on C-SPAN radio while I was driving to do my radio show. I had it cranked up so that everyone around me in the traffic jam on I-40 could hear it.

If only the rest of the media in this country were as fair and even-handed. We might actually have a democracy.

27. So, if they are "pro-military personnel support", does that mean
that the 300-500,000 yesterday hate our troops and America?

What a joke. Of course, everyone supports the troops. It's just that the vast majority of us don't support *.

Since this is a rally to support the troop, our people should be there with signs that say We Support the Troops-but not the Administration who got us into this illegal war!! Who doesn't support the troops? These assholes always flip flop the truth. To support the troops we need to send them home!! Impeach all the bastards!!

The way this guy made it sound is that anyone at yesterday's rally wouldn't have been veterans.

168. An Iraq war veteran said "I saw women and children slaughtered."
On the street where the freeper pro-death rally was, he said to the freepers "You don't know what you're talking about. I was there, I saw innocent women and children slaughtered."

A freeper called us "cowards".

The vet responded "Oh, so I'm a coward for seeing women and children slaughtered???"

What these freepers do is sick, they make up their own meanings of words, in their cult-speak, a "coward" means anyone with a conscience, but that's not what "coward" means:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=coward

There's nothing in the definition of the word coward that mentions having a moral revulsion against evil.

There was a story from Iraq of two U.S. military snipers, they spotted some civilians, one was a child. One sniper said, "That's just a child.", the other said "Don't be a pussy, shoot 'em."

What I thought I heard was 100,000 'straggles' - knew that couldn't be correct. Was yelling at the tv (lot of good that does :crazy: ) looking for the remote, and still catching bits of what he was saying.

129. Thank you for the wonderful pic,
and for taking part. As one who could only be there in spirit, seeing all the people there yesterday on tv just filled my heart with hope.

I knew they were there - the guy talking seemed to think they weren't. What I caught of it (considering I was multi-tasking - yelling back at him, looking for the remote, and feeling my head explode), made it sound like he was speaking for the Iraq War Vets - singularly - as if there were no other point of view.

But, then again, I thought he said 100,000 'straggles' LOL, so what do I know?

52. Let's not forget
that c-span Book TV is having their fair in the same area. So, some of the people there could be onlookers, and only there to see what the "heck" is going on.
I have watched several of these pro war rallies and they always look the same. Very few people attending. Really kind of a waste of air time, but it's always good to see both sides of the spectrum.

99. or so I thought
I turned over to BookTv and they weren't showing anything about the fair. I thought that it was a weekend event. But perhaps it was for only one day, and I guess if people went to the fair yesterday then I suppose they could be hanging around sight seeing. Like I said when watching the Freeper events in the past they always look like not many there, and compare that to anti war rallies, well I guess there really isn't any comparison!

Boy that Deborah Johns is a bitch. Who is she to criticize Cindy Sheehan, and claim to be the one to "sing praises" for Casey. Again what a bitch....

85. She wants to ask Chimpie for the use
of the USS Ronald Reagan to ship yesterday's anti-war protesters to the Iran? She's got it all turned around. They are the ones that should be heading over there to promote their values.

70. It's amazing to me how they focus on Cindy Sheehan.
Even IF they disagreed, why can't they just respect a difference in feelings and opinions?!?

I thought this was a a rally to "honor military families," not trash Cindy Sheehan.

Unfortunately, their FOCUSED pro-fascist message will play MUCH BETTER on C-SPAN. Ours (A.N.S.W.E.R.'s) was unfocused and played like a laundry list of pro-socialist/communist grievances.

Talking about the protest yesterday saying they were obscene, counter-culturists. Says the American people need to know who the anti-war people are -- as in the 'Murikan people need to know how to hate them.

This guy is totally disgusting.

He did say we would stay until every Iraqi can walk on their own two legs....well, that's not gonna happen since we've blown off the legs of those we haven't outright killed.

150. Saying that we're against the troops is a turnoff
When over 60 percent of Americans are against the war. They're in effect marginalizing the majority of mainstream America, who will now have yet another reason to reject the ongoing war.

So I say let 'em keep denigrating those who oppose the war. Apparently they haven't realized they're taking potshots at the MAJORITY.

152. It may be they feared she was a plant. They started yelling, "go home"
when she said she was from Washington, and hoped they would help her get through what she wanted to say.

I believe they feared she had deceived them, and was an anti-war speaker, after all.

I think this is what happened.

153. I had to change the channel
can't watch these people anymore.

There is a woman on now saying she lost her stepson to friendly fire in 2003, now she has a son that just joined and is at Ft Hood waiting to go over and "THEN" she says her 17 yr old wants a waiver so he can join.

Can you say "WACKO KOOL-AID DRINKER"? I can think of some other names, but if these whackjobs want to kill off their entire family let them--it takes their genes out of the pool. The only ones I feel sorry for are the kids--having been raised to think this way.

It was disgusting.

155. That poor father.
Said the last time he saw one son (who was killed) was at the other son's funeral.

So sad.

158. OK, do I have this correct?
Unless I support Bush's monumentally disastrous "war," then I am un-American, won't defend this country and support terrorists.

Who's "angry" and delusional now?

time to stop them from defining us.

162. We love war! We love war! As long as it's somewhere else.
I wonder if they'd be so pro-war if it were here...

In fact, I wonder if they would be so pro-war if they knew the truth.


Fox news fallout.

167. Do you mean
"Mini flags as hairclips" girl?

She'd like to personally thank everyone at the rally today...

That'll take what - five, ten minutes tops?

165. I would support the war if they could assure we would not be attacked here
they can't.

This in response to the father who just said: he would support Cindy if she could assure him that pulling out of Iwreck and Afghan would keep us safe from being attacked here.

Iwreck and afghan are two different places-

going to Iwreck has just assured that there will be many more lined up to join the jihadis.

171. I think the speakers had help with their speeches.
Karen Hughes has been busy.

I'll bet that the White House wrote or reviewed every speech.

Looks like a wax museum.

176. We're seeing the "black-hearted agenda."
The speakers have been brainwashed into celebrating the deaths of their children. I can think of nothing more black-hearted--nothing.

why these folks idolize a guy who went out of his way to fight in Nam?

Why? Bunker mentality?

179. Agreeing with SillyGoose
It WAS heartbreaking to hear the families talk of their lost loved ones.

It was also very sad to see their either-or thinking. It was clear that they think Cindy Sheehan is the enemy on one side (along with the un-American, Socialists, Communists, etc.). They stand on the other side with God, Country and George Bush. So sad.

One father ended his emotional remarks by waving a cross in the air saying it was the first one liberated from "Cindy Sheehan's Unholy Camp." Very, very sad indeed.

180. The American Legion guy says we lost VietNam because of the protests.
He's also tying the Iraq War with the War on Terror.

189. The Freepers couldn't even fill out the bleachers.
I think this is very interesting...look at the lack of support for this event. About 400.

Then think of the numbers at yesterday's event. Approx. 100k.

I think that's a true representation of how this country feels about the war in Iraq. (Someone else is going to have to do the mathematical percentage for me; I'm horrible at math.)
