Anti-Iraq war demonstrations all over the country and all we get from MSM

3. That's why demonstrations are a waste of time.

During the Vietnam war era, demonstrations got lots of air time and people paid attention. Rightwingers learned from Vietnam protests. One of the big complainst from rightwingers back then was "Why do they show these peace marches on the news? If we just ignore them, they'll go away". Well, fast forward to 2003-2006 and we have the rightwing answer to mass protest; ignore it and it will go away. The media barely covers it because the powers that be have told them not to.

4. Hey, they attacked a Mac's. Of course, that's more important!

Just think if there was a burger king or KFC in Paris! the horror!

5. That is why we need take to the streets everyday

Whenever you have a spare hour or two, stand in front of your post-office,
or on your street corner. Put a large sign in the rear window of
your automobile. Buy less! Walk more! Call your legislators everyday.
We can never stop.

10. Screw the MSM.

The point of all of our nationwide local demonstrations, big small and middlin, was to reach out to our communities, to go around the MSM, to let every car passing by know that people are opposed to the crap, are not fooled, are willing to stand up and speak out.

What I saw was a lot of 'drive by support', and that gave me hope.
