CNN just announced that

[justgamma]

"dozens" are expected to show up and protest. LOL

[Bjornsdotter]

1. CNN--Contains No News n/t

[Snotcicles]

42. I think their days are numbered. The Fairness Doctrine is making a screaming comeback. nt

[ShortnFiery]

2. Morans don't even try to pretend that they work for the people instead of Corporations. n/t

[shireen]

3. Morans! LOL! nt

[goclark]

4. Just heard there were 10's of thousands

but they only did shots of small spaces.

Reporter said, "not many there when it start bbut more a showing up now."

:puke:

[TahitiNut]

15. Translation: probably 200,000 or more.

They have to take their shoes and socks off to count the number of "tens of thousands." :shrug:

[bdamomma]

5. that bush's propaganda station CNN can shut the hell up

Watch it on C Span!!!!!!!!!!!!! there are thousands of people there.

[tuvor]

6. Earlier today, the reporter I saw said "hundreds of thousands".

Twice.

[DemReadingDU]

29. The reporter I heard said that

last week there were hundreds of thousands in DC for the Right to Life cause. And he thought there was no way that this protest had near as many people. This was about 11 am.

[tuvor]

31. I think that was the same reporter.

He also admitted that things still had a couple of hours to go before the crowd would peak--I'm just paraphrasing--and that there were marches that were starting throughout DC headed for the White House.

[pdxmom]

7. I peeked in over at Freeperland. They say they have 40 there. Bwahaha.

[cgrindley]

13. Unfortunately, Freep has one point

other than the one on their heads, and that's regarding the 9/11 conspiracy banner shown. What the hell are people thinking? I work in New York in the Bronx and Manhattan and the conspiracy crowd is really really insulting. It makes me sick to think that I actually agree with the jerks at Freep over anything. I'm going to go and throw up now.

[tridim]

16. I take it you believe the Official Government Conspiracy Theory?

That's fine, but you should know that the 911 truth movement has done far more research on the subject than our government has.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

19. You're right.

The Jersey Girls aren't going to go away.

911 is definitely not some "side issue".



:yourock:

[cgrindley]

38. No it hasn't

None of what any conspiracy theorist conducts is in any way worthy of being described as "research". People should leave research to actual researchers. 9/11 conspiracy theorists merely stregthen repukelickan criticisms of the left as being full of halfwits. at this point before the election cycle, we shouldn't do anything at all to weaken our appeal. Nothing at all to screw it up.

I worked hard for Ned Lamont this past election, and I can tell you that it's still touch and go with the vast electorate.

If the progressive left allows itself to be hijacked by idiots, it will lose us the election. Can anyone imagine what would happen if some asshole with a 9/11 conspiracy sign showed up to a Guiliani rally if he was in the running? It would make him even harder to beat.

We've got to convince these 9/11 conspiracy nuts to keep their traps shut until at least the election is won. To me, I think it's almost like they want the repukelickers to win again.

[tridim]

40. Ok, I'll stop searching for the truth..

because some random poster on DU actually believes our Government always tells the truth. :eyes:

Open your fucking EYES.

[cgrindley]

41. That's just absurd

Since when did I write that the government *always* tells the truth?

Honestly, I'm fairly convinced that 9/11 conspiracy nuts get money from the Repukes in order to discredit us before an election. It's beyond pathetic.

It's really really offensive to spout 9/11 conspiracy theories. It's the moral equivalent of posting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Really. People should stop.

a. I'm not a new guy.

b. You call me a troll one more time and it'll be you who gets your account closed.

c. If we don't care what the right wing thinks and does, then we will lose again. Grow up and try to adopt at least a small modicum of political sense.

[NotGivingUp]

46. ...

[CrazyOrangeCat]

21. Say that to the Jersey Girls or . . .

. . . to the members of FDNY.

The "official" 911 Report is bunk.

[cgrindley]

36. That's just stupid

Only an idiot would believe any conspiracy theory other than the real one: that a super rich 6'7" Saudi evil genius who hates the US for some fairly concrete reasons convinced 19 people to hijack passenger jets and fly them into the WTC because they somehow believed that some fictious deity would reward them in some equally fictitious afterlife.

The real conspiracy is so good that a person would have to be utterly retarded to think otherwise.

And really, as someone who works in the city, I consider any suggestion that 9/11 wasn't foreign religious terrorism is really insulting and offensive.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

43. You're silly.

[liberaldemocrat7]

47. George W Bush provoked the 9-11 attacks.

9-11 happened over oil and gas pipelines.

Bush secretly threatened the invasion of Taliban run Afghanistan in July 2001 after months of failed pipeline negotiations with the Taliban. The Taliban did not wait for the invasion and struck us first.

No inside job.

No let it happen on purpose.

9-11: blowback for US foreign policy.

Bush provoked 9-11 and failed to defend against it.

No conspiracy, but logical result of a bitter dispute between the US and the Taliban.

[Ezlivin]

23. What is insulting is this:

What happened to WTC 7? It wasn't hit by any aircraft.

NIST doesn't know but said six years ago that they were "interested in determining exactly why WTC 7 fell."

Really? I imagine that six years of research would have yielded something by now....

[Cassandra]

24. It was brought down by implosion...

and I think they said so at the time. The why of it isn't too clear. It may have been hit with debris but it was confusing at the time why they were in a rush to demolish.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. Enjoy your puke session.

:eyes:

[TahitiNut]

17. They count the number of porta-potties they rent and divide by two.

:silly: There's "fuzzy" math and there's "shitty" math.

[Unperson]

8. Turn CNN off!!!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. go to cspan. nice coverage there.

[PDittie]

26. Penn, Fonda, Sarandon, Robbins right now n/t

[Webster Green]

9. Surely they were referring to freeper counter-protesting morans..

That's the only possible explanation.

Either that, or they are shameless chimp-licking assholes.:patriot:

[peekaloo]

10. Give 'em a break. Hard to keep count on fingers and toes.

:dunce:

[Staph]

12. CNN.com

says that demonstration will draw tens of thousands, and that the counter-protest has about forty people. Maybe they misspoke and were actually speaking of the Freepers.

[sarge43]

14. Misspeaking

Is that like referring to Osama as Obama? CNN seems to be doing a lot of that lately.

[seabeyond]

22. or maybe the op misspoke, or misheard??? sounding like cnn is clearly

saying there are going to be more than a couple dozen protesters.

[helderheid]

18. We should send them pictures of the "dozens"

[EstimatedProphet]

20. DOZENS?!?

Let me guess - their estimate right now is 73 people...

[PDittie]

25. Why do you people torture yourselves?

Just flip over to C-Span. Unless your cable or satellite reception is so limited that you cannot, in which case proceed with the flagellation.

[justgamma]

28. My cable offers 29 channels.

What a joke. No Cspan. I gotta' gets me some Dish whether hubby wants it or not. Listening on PC is just not the same.

[PDittie]

33. Not to fan the flames of class war or anything

but you're exactly right; that's what ya need ta do. Even if it puts a few more shekels in the coffers of the corporate media.

[rodeodance]

30. But earlier a Cnn On-site reporter said 'tens of thousands" are in the

crowd.

[Swamp Rat]

32. Fuck CNN. They employ neo-nazi KKK racists like Glen Beck.

I don't watch CNN Headline News anymore.

Someone let me know if CNN ever starts reporting news again instead of fascist infotainment.

[Jack Rabbit]

34. Hey, CNN!! Take a couple dozen of these . . .

Image from Kill Your Television

[WilliamPitt]

35. The MSNBC graphic I saw said "Massive Protest in DC"

So that was OK.

[annabanana]

37. good... We may yet see something. . . n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

39. at least 600,000 that i saw march past the live webcam on 3rd and Constitution Ave
