Way to go, Aaron, I was there with you in spirit if not in body.

The treasonous NY Slimes can't ignore turnouts like that! There must have been 15 people there! Wait until twice that many show up next week in NYC. Maybe then the Commie Broadcasting System will take notice!!!

The people have spoken WITH A ROAR!

Looks like a flop. The rest of the wingnuts must have been guarding the port a potties elsewhere.

I stopped by briefly on my too-brief lunch break and I have to say it was a great sight. I wish you had posted pictures of the Protest Babes.

One minor quibble: The spy was Boris Badenov from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Bullwinkle is one of my favorite cartoons, and that was the protest sign that got a chuckle from me.

Who was the chick with the hat? I'm guessing Jessica Alba with a body like that.

Michelle Malkin! I'm so glad this happened. I hope it starts a movement.

But that's not black spy from Spy vs. Spy; it's Boris of "Boris and Natasha" from Bullwinkle.

Wow, what a huge crowd!

/sarcasm

Interesting that your troops brought out the Anne Franks analogy given that she was a victim of tyranny and your crowd is supporting a wannabe tyrant. Yes, we know you are paid political hacks supporting a President who is out to crush a free press.

Reality Check: Maybe someone who reads this will next time check facts first before hacking away.

Rumsfeld okayed pictures of his home for NY Times

Blogger Glenn Greenwald is reporting that the published photograph of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s home on Maryland’s Eastern Shore were taken with the Secretary’s permission. Following the publication of the photo (right) by the New York Times,a number of well know bloggers and political commentators, including Michelle Malkin and David Horowitz, attacked the paper for putting the property at risk of attack.

What is left of Malkin, Hinderaker and Horowitz’s credibility?

kjm - sorry to disappoint but the woman with the hat was Michele Malkin. Eeeeeww! Now go pull up your underwear or talk a cold shower. Good grief.

JP - excellent. But remember. Serial dishonesty turns kjm on.

Not a huge turn out. Liberally based protests are very populated because they're professional protesters and don't have jobs. Plenty of free time.

allen - liberals have real jobs. These folks were paid for by the RNC but I guess those budget cuts (haha) means there is less slush funds these days.

Michelle Malkin! I'm so glad this happened. I hope it starts a movement.

It's a little late -- chicks have been wearing cargo pants and basball hats for a while.

"allen - liberals have real jobs."

Like marching in the streets for any reason, hobnobbing on Daily Kos, and pretending you're an adult.

"These folks were paid for by the RNC but I guess those budget cuts (haha) means there is less slush funds these days."

Do you even think before you spew this nonsense into the universe?

Leave demonstrating to those of us who know how.

15 people is not a demonstration, it's a fiasco.

Guess Jom Rob's private army of well groomed bushbots just can't muster a real demo any more. Perhaps if he had as many followers as hall monitors he could get something done.

Yes, we know you are paid political hacks supporting a President who is out to crush a free press.

"mini-rally"

Emphasis on the "mini", I assume

Conservatives tend to not protest for a number of reasons. The primary hindrance to protesting is employment. A close second is that thoughtful analyses of complex issues don't lend themselves to catchy slogans that fit on 2X3' cardboard posters.

Osama may well be in Iran. Sadamn was harboring and assisting terrorists. Nuanced enough? Seventy planeloads flown into Syria in the middle of the Night? Attempted assasination of an American President? Smack Dab in the middle of the battlefield. Americans Do Not Run from a fight. Independence Day Greetings/God Bless America and Fox News.

A close second is that thoughtful analyses of complex issues don't lend themselves to catchy slogans that fit on 2X3' cardboard posters.

That's utterly ridiculous. The entire zoo of right-wing thought in this country is nothing but catchy slogans. Why do you think all talk radio is conservative? Because you're nothing but anger, fear and sound bites. Ban gay marriage! Save the flag! The press is evil! Honestly, it's so easy to lead you conservatives in whatever direction your masters want to take you -- just jerk your chains by appealing to your fear and anger. That's all you people are is angry, scared children.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA...oh, excuse me, that wasn't polite. What I meant to say was, better luck with the next protest, Freepers

Hey LeoCon, the NYT is a porta potty...

Alan Price lies. Those people were not paid by the RNC, nor Richard Mellon Scaife.

Come on Alan, cough up your evidence you big tough talking liberal you.

AreMark,

How wrong you are. It's your side that can't even craft a slogan they're so wedded to "talking points".

Your side carries the preprinted Workers World Party signs that say "Money For [Insert Some Entitlement Here], Not For War."

Now when you libs try and fake that you support the Soldiers, you say "Money For Wounded, Not For War". All you were able to do was change one word, but not the communist theme.

If The Left had a brain, the sign would say what?

Come on geniuses, show us you can think.

I'll wait.

As far as size, we'll the conservatives have done a great job of cutting the left down to size.

The Left had 40 years of unopposed protests. Forty years to organize, forty years of sucking at the government 501(3)c teat for funding.

As a matter of fact, the real revolutionaries, progressives, wackos on the looney left resent the old guard who have sold out to the 501(3)c money god.

Hey, Jodie Evans of Code Pinko lives in a multi-million Venice manse, do you?

Freepers cut ANSWER off at the knees. People didn't know that it was the Workers World Party, or that the WWP was asking them to give UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT to "the resistance". You know, theose fplks killing our soldiers.

People who really sought peace will not march with them.

By ANSWER's own inflated numbers, they went from 500,000 people (really 125,000) to 5,000 (really 1,100). Even using ANSWER's lies, that's a 99% drop. Trust me on that, it's a math thing, yuo wouldn't understand.

Code Pink get a hundred, maybe a few hundred on their rallies, even with Shehan, Sarandon, Glover in attendance.

UFPJ is seen by the other anti-war groups as a dictator. Rightly so because Leslie Cagan runs UFPJ with an Iron Hand and a loyal clique.

UFJP's most recent protest they claim had 350,000 in NYC. The police would not confirm. The Washington Post described it as "tens of thousnads".

But here's the real scoop, it only went 10 city blocks. No way you fit 35,000 in one Manhattan city block's roadway. 35,000 would be less than an average big city crowd at a Major League ball park. Shove all those folks in one city block. I don't thing so.

So without the money and infrastucture, we did well.

The left used to get big numbers because it was a big party, a Mardi Gras. Now they get booed.

It was monolithic in belief. You had to believe in abortion, no death penalty, save the whales, hate America and love cop killers in Castro, or you were run off. And oh yeah, hate the Joooooss (that's Jews for those of you in the progressive side of Rio Linda). Lot's of antisemetism in the left's ranks. That's the biggest bugaboo between ANSWER and UFPJ.

They both hate the Jews, but UFPJ sez don't let mainstream America see it....for now.

That the left gets vapors from a mini-rally....that's priceless.

Damnit! How do you do. Heartfelt 4th of July greetings, Raoul. Secretary of State, Rice, informed Russian counterpart it would be a mistake(basically) to concentrate on the loss of four diplomats while the picture on the ground is really much bigger! Smack? Sorry for the earlier post. I really do support the mission. I've been dissed by so many relativist spiritual shamnus Elites I can't even count. Ok?

By the way , "Most apt" descrription of the gathering outside Kellers gate, easier to round up a mob than it is to assemble a group of people who tend to ... Raoul? I can't converse with these people, either they imagine a " determined object in the eyes of others. When another self concious being looks at me, I know that he or she searches im me not for the me-as-not object but for the me-as-subject. Hence the gaze of a self-conscious creature has a peculiar capacity to penetrate; it looks into me, so to speak, that I make my free subjectivity present in the world of objects." Author?

AreMark,
I know that author! That writer screwew up the whole of France in the early 19oos? Confused and impresses whoe generations of frenchmen. Screwew up and screwed over. Nonsence in the light of day but oh so interesting and poignant when High. Poignant if drugged, just the sound of a voice, no moorings,all new, interssstinn gg g ...

YourMark, Up early, huh? Oh yeah, you was sayin? John Paul. Sartre! Oh crap. Intersting?But in the end ,just words tied together with wishfulless and youth, clever turn of a duck; but leaves a person thinking WTF? Inane rambling elitist hogswill for the elitites. Phrases they can use to charm the knickers off the girls... Just utter crap. " Whether Sartre was as good as Rousseau, I don't know. He was as pernicious" June 25, 2005 The Spectator by Roger Scruton

I did get to meet a celebrity, however. Who is that in the hat?

Lara Croft? :o)

(OK... I did peak at the first five replys!)

johnny-

I always did want to learn 'papier mache' so I could make one of those "giant puppet-heads".

I guess I was deprived because I never went to college... :o)

What a bunch of wimps you all are. Your goddess Ann Coulter thinks the Times should get the McVeigh treatment, and all you show up with are some lame signs. Don't any of you have the stones to pack a Ryder van with some fertilizer and make a real statement? After all, it's what your fake blonde goddess wants. You all act like you're card-carrying members of the ACLU. The next thing you know, you'll be defending the First Amendment -- in a time of war, no less. You cowards!

Wow. Severe leftist troll infestation here. Malkin flushes out the mouthbreathing moonbats like few others can.

I especially love how the troll monkeys claim they "know how to demonstrate," and yet have no actual political achievements to show for that demonstrating.

Except, of course, the "moral" victories. Or in common parlance, repeated electoral losses.

Lemme lay it out for ya, libbies. You can demonstrate, hunger strike, march on the White House, etc. all you want, but since you no longer have a monopoly on the legacy media, there are plenty of voices and sources that can easily and quickly knock you and your hordes down to size. After all, that's what demonstrating is about - a media spectacle intended to fool audience members into thinking that many more people agree with your viewpoints than actually do. Worked in the 60's and 70's, ain't working anymore.

Amusing as hell, though.

Keep demonstrating - get louder, more vulgar, more extreme and more shrill. You're digging your pathetic grave even deeper, and the nation is laughing at you.

Any one Here ever run across a guy, name Tony Petzold? Like Raoule, he seems to have acquired the ability to install moments of clarity for left coast types. I read his blistering but kind admonishments to the muzzie loving libber types (all great people) but young and/or immature and misbegottenly uneducated at"theleftcoaster.com"

The NYT Travel Section was always a little treasonous. They sometimes featured locals outside of the US. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which I'm sure could mean the death penalty.

The Bill of Right is long and boring, just like the NYT. I say listen to our leader. And you don't need all that liberal constitutional mumbo jumbo. BTW, the protest looks awesome. All they need is some brown shirts and tall boots.

The NYT trusted the White House when they said there are definitely WMD in Iraq. Now, they aren't so ready to trust the judgement of people in the Bush Administration. Both of these positions, before and after, are patriotic. Patriotism can be blind, unquestioning support, but often it involves independent thinking.

Fifteen or twenty sign-carriers and Michelelel Makllinn.... Wait, don't tell me; you're gonna say that your boy Timothy McVeigh was only one guy and look what he accomplished, right?

Throw them all in jail -- the NYT, the Washington Post, USA Today, all who oppose the president and have become mouthpieces for the Islamofascist movement. This whole myth of the "free press" is just that -- a myth. When the nation is at war, the press must support the president. Period.

Jail is too good for these traitors. Lock them up Guantanamo and throw away the key. If we run out of room there after locking up all the moonbats and the traitors and the RINOs, send some over to Castro. Make them live in the Socialist utopia they've been trying to force down our throats all these years. I guarantee you they'll be clamoring to come back to the US within 2 weeks of their arrival in that God-forsaken police state.

Why do the traitorcraps get so upset when they are challenged?

"When the nation is at war, the press must support the president. Period"

Exactly and more so because their cohorts, the democrat party voted for it. The fact that they were just perpetrating their perpetual fraud by voting for it just to save face and shortly after pulled a Kerry is undeniable proof they are UN-AMERICAN.

MINORITY IN THE HOUSE , THE SENATE AND LOSING THE LAST TWO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE SPOKEN OUT AGAINST THESE TRAITOROUS BASTURDS.

How embarrasing for Michelle Malkin, she begged people to go to this *protest* and a few people turned up that were outnumbered by reporters, what a joke!

Did you notice she has buried it on her site by putting up as much filler as possible to move it off the front page as quickly as possible.

I guess the NYT is quaking in their boots now, wouldn't you say Michelle?

No doubt. The GOP is in complete control for the last 5 years and look at the wonderful things they've accomplished.

Nice demonstration by the way. What were all the freepers off drinking Busch beer in their wife-beaters watching Nascar?

>crowd of about 20 people

Um that's not a "crowd", that's a line-up.

But then again y'all like your illusions and bubbles.

The important thing is that the Times now knows there are proud Americans willing to stand up against their lies and their treason. I'm sure next time they'll think twice about risking a one-way ticket to Guantanamo.

That's what you call "a crowd" when people aren't paid and bussed in to protest.

Raoul, communist? Dude, that's so '50s! It's Mexislamofascistarian. Get with the program...putz.

Rant Warning...

Unlike most, there are friends I worked with that aren't here anymore; Our IB firm had offices in four of the WT buildings, we met every Friday to catch up and hang out. You don't know what it is to help some of their families, get hair and other DNA to take downtown; or to hoof it to the Bronx in that exodus and tell your best friends' parents you couldn't find their son and pick up kids from schools (some of their parents came home, some didn't).

You don't watch everyday as their kids grow up without a father/mother; the effects and FDNY friends who have been broken ever since half of our firehouse died; or saw the hundreds of flyers everyday and people crying... wondering where their loved ones were; was downtown giving out socks, bottled water, whatever was donated for a long time; went to so many memorals and funeral masses (over months, can't count); saw a friend die from breathing in that same smoke and ash of those we lost... and wondered could that happen to the rest of us? You didn't take that 4 train to Brooklyn when the subway finally reopened... that smelled like a crematorium... the smell of which you could not get out of your clothes... no matter what. To not realize until the bell ceremony... that you lost someone else as well. The stories of your friends who were overseas... that thought they wouldn't have a country to come home to.

This isn't about a deadline, Pulitzer of 24 hour news cycle... The NYTs as well as other papers don't care if you live or die... it's the lede.

You didn't see the hundreds (yes, hundreds), that jumped from the buildings... or the fact you couldn't tell if they were even human when they landed. You didn't hear the sound of them landing... looking up, praying "Please God, please God, help them and screaming no as one by one by twos by groups, they fell. Neither did you feel as if hell itself was opening up right before the first tower came down... or the sheet metal slicing those who were running... or the things that fell and smashed them. You didn't think the thoughts of those who ran... and then after look around in that state for someone... anyone recognizable...

You also didn't see the people lining the FDR as the emergency vehicles and buses with PD came down... how they cheered. They made signs reading 'We love you', I love NY, USA, Prayers.
You didn't see St. Paul's lined with pictures from children, flags, memories, loads of flowers and candles. You didn't see the vigils... in Union Square, the Promenade and all over the city... as in this age of disconnect... brought as all together. You didn't see the tears or dropping to knees of firemen who found a brother thought lost. You didn't see the tons and tons of donations brought down... the restauranteers, who knowing their business was doomed, fed the workers day in and out. The people flooding the churches... the priests, ministers and those who came down to pray with those who were there... and their countenence after... recharged to go back in for another 12 to round the clock shift.
The FD, PD, ES, PAPolice who stepped up and helped the wives and children of those who were lost... nevermind the trauma they were under. How those traveling were treated in the countries they were in... how foreigners cried for us and seemed to be even more upset. The amazing stories of those who didn't come in for whatever reasons they usually did...

Freedom is not license. With freedom comes responsibility; I know... I was taught this growing up and served my country for it. Wake up, there has never been a country like this one... and you will never see the likes of America again on the globe, if this continues...

Since when was it fashionable to loathe oneself and your country. To lose a sense of self. To hate so much at any cost. It seems everyone forgot... maybe blocking it out... I don't have that luxury.

This isn't a game. Wake up
