TODAY'S DC PRO-WAR RALLY FIZZLES -

 

What if they gave a pro-war rally and nobody came?

 

Well, it happened today, in DC..

 

 

 

TODAY'S DC PRO-WAR RALLY FIZZLES - IS BUSHCO IN TROUBLE?*

 

Less than 400 people gathered near a stage on an eastern segment of

the National Mall, a large photo of an American flag serving as a

backdrop. Amid banners and signs proclaiming support for U.S. troops,

several speakers hailed the effort to " bring democracy " to Iraq and

Afghastistan (the latter's president, Hamid Karzai, asked us to leave

his country yesterday) and denounced those who protest the war.

 

Let's look at the numbers: 400 people in favor of the war today as

opposed to 100,000 - 300.000 against it yesterday. And these are real

numbers. Unlike Diebold votes, you can verify these numbers with

observation. More details on the failed pro-war rally are below. Word

in the streets: Bushco is in serious trouble with its Iraq War.

ON THE DC PRO-WAR RALLY TODAY:

 

Support for U.S. troops fighting abroad mixed with anger toward

anti-war demonstrators at home as hundreds of people, far fewer than

organizers had expected, rallied Sunday on the National Mall just a

day after a massive protest against the war in DC.

 

" No matter what your ideals are, our sons and daughters are fighting

for our freedom, " said Marilyn Faatz, who drove from New Jersey to

attend the rally. " We are making a mockery out of this. And we need to

stand united, but we are not. "

 

About 400 people gathered near a stage on an eastern segment of the

mall, a large photo of an American flag serving as a backdrop. Amid

banners and signs proclaiming support for U.S. troops, several

speakers hailed the effort to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghastistan

(whose president has asked us to leave the country) and denounced

those who protest it.

 

Many demonstrators focused their ire at Cindy Sheehan, the California

woman whose protest near Bush's Texas home last summer galvanized the

anti-war movement. Sheehan was among the speakers at Saturday's rally

near the Washington Monument on the western part of the mall, an event

that attracted an estimated 100,000 people.

Sec.of Commerce told Fed Employees to Attend Pro-War Demonstration !!!

 

 

A friend of mine who works as a patent examiner in Washington D.C.

called me Sunday night, And during the conversation I asked if he saw

the 300,000 person strong anti-war demonstration ?

He said no but he heard about it when the Secretary of Commerce asked

government employees to attend the pro-Troops demonstration !

I asked him how he was asked and he said he received an automated

recorded phone call at home and he had already received an e-mail on

his office computer at work !!

 

OK Troops -- It is now your job to come up with one of these e-mails !
