Local news was making a big deal of the counter protesters yesterday

[catmandu57]

Before they showed them I told my wife that there would be five six at the most, sure enough when they showed their scraggly asses I counted five. Pretty pitiful showing when compared with the size of cindy's group. I didn't see any porta potties or pick up trucks though, maybe they had them hid.
Time after time, whenever there is a protest against * and his war its always this way, large numbers of protesters, and a a pitiful handful of ugly freeps, so why isn't the message getting through big time.

1. Because it's still so difficult to get molten tar and bulk feathers at a moment's notice?

2. We need more local news. That is why so many are focused on situations theat either

dont' affect them or where we have the least amount of power.

4. nothing new

at one of the larger Desert Storm protests I went to years ago, some frat guys showed up and started yelling "drop bombs not acid" and "crack hippie skulls" and threw stuff at us. My friend Nicole got hit in the head with a FULL can of beer.

That night on the news, instead of showing us peacefully marching or the violent asshats, they showed the frat guys chanting "U-S-A!" and that was it. Local news too.

5. Yep, fairness and balance are the rule

If they show any clips of the anti-war folks, it's almost always the guy in the rainbow fright wig. And the counterdemonstrators get at least equal footage time as well as a live quote denouncing the dirty fucking hippies.
