holy jeebus, anyone see the protestors in India on cnn?

[AlCzervik]

the news reader said tens of thousands--there was a sea of people and to my untrained eye i'd say it looked like at least 100,000 people.

[celestia671]

1. Yes I did!

Chimpy's doing a bang up job of winning hearts and minds, eh?

[AlCzervik]

9. oh yeah, and they were chanting some harsh things at him as well.

[MadMaddie]

2. That's what needs to be seen in America...

We need to have 100,000 people marching and choking DC....that's what we need!! * cabal can't handpick the crowd either....

[CrazyOrangeCat]

7. You are so right.

[Kierkegaard]

3. Haven't seen it, but I suspected there would be quite a turnout.

Look for Canned Neocon Nonsense to later report that only 8 people and a dog showed up...

[AlCzervik]

4. i mentally mute the cnn person, pictures don't lie.

5. According to the BBC...

there were tens of thousands at the beginning of their article on the protests, but then says that "Earlier, about 100,000 protestors gathered in the heart of Delhi..."

8. hey and i was just guessing at 100k!

[Burried News]

6. Aww they're just sore cause Bush is OK with Nukes and Missiles for

Pakistan. How unreasonable. Wonder how many billion it will take to quiet them down.

[progressivebydesign]

10. But.. CNN said it wasn't a bit deal to have 100k protestors..

as there are millions that live in the country.

[savemefromdumbya]

12. I think the other miilions of people were too busy

otherwise there would be millions of Indians protesting.

[AlCzervik]

can you imagine what that woulld look like? How would Faux "News"

spin that one?

[dogday]

14. Yes and all those poor people in India don't have the money

to trek to the city for a protest... The whole country should be there? Ridiculous..

If 100,000 voices are speaking, you better listen, they represent a whole lot more who could not make it....

[Burried News]

11. Looks like they want to make it Kristol clear that they have no intention

of letting themselves be the shock troops for Bush's war on Terra.

[rurallib]

13. Kind of wonder how they all got a day off from our jobs?

<snark>
I know I couldn't get a day off to protest Bush when the jobs were here in the US.

[Cleita]

15. Looks like Bush has no where to hide.

I think he's too arrogant though to believe he could be so unpopular and hated as well.

[lovuian]

16. This is a wake up call for Bush if he thinks he's got control

of India he is sadly mistaken as well as the Corporations...

The joke on the Corporations is they are making stronger their worse nightmare

and weakening those who would protect them...

stupid is as stupid does

[AlCzervik]

17. my husband travels overseas for business and talks to many people

from amny different countries and they all agree that the bush is bad for business.

[cliss]

18. Amazing.....

100,000 protesters? And Bush is there to negotiate? Just imagine, Bush is sitting with Manmohan Singh. (they're negotiating nuclear power).

Bush tries to tighten the thumbscrews, drives a hard bargain. Singh looks out the window, where thousands of people are protesting. Singh opens the window, to let in the noise.

How's that for a little cold water on your composure?
