just wondering your thoughts.. and how many protesters were at the DNC? ya know what.. i never heard anything about that "freedom of speech zone" at the DNC on the news ... (but i work 40+ hours a week and have a 2 year old so i don't watch TV much.. so I only heard it from yall)

1. Interesting. I don't recall hearing about the "Free Speech Zone" either.

I wonder what went on in there, it looked like a potential disaster.

5. Not too many used it

Most decided that it would be better to protest more openly further away.

2. There would have been THOUSANDS of protestors, but since the regime has

decided to call for a terror alert, there will be no crowds allowed to gather, don't you see how that works?

This is the reason for the false terror alert.

i agree to a point.. i think people are ticked off enough just to go and protest somewhere else instead

6. Including everyone...

about 1 million. That includes all of the unions, anti-war, anti-Bush, issue based, pro-Bush.

8. I would double that.

I'm sure we had a million at the February protests before the Iraq invasion. And on that day there were protests in every city. This time all of the protesting will happen in NY. I predict 2 million.

9. Think that the media will show it though? n/t

10. none!

because they will use that BULLSHIT terror alert to force people to stay away.
