CSPAN is Jaw Dropping Drama!
The interviews in the street have been terrific. LOL...Lot of F-Bombs being shouted but they're letting it in. The freeper interviews are the best. They reveal a blind following like never before.

31. CNN....the news headline station.....
didn't have anything, NOTHING!!! and I was checking off and on for a few minutes during the protest. Yup, CNN has sunk to lower then FOX. Did you hear the chants of "FOX NEWS SUCKS"??? I think that was the most chanted slogan of the protest. How many people showed up???? I really couldn't tell.....estimates were 200,000 to 250,000.

8. How sweet it is!
The cops are on our side now.

Back in the Vietnam war days, the cops were fighting us with mace and billyclubs.

Nice (and significant) change!

7. I get goosebumps every few minutes . . .

I loved when they were chanting "Tell me what democracy looks like?" — "This is what democracy looks like." . . .

21. Do you think Bush has seen any of this?
I know his mother doesn't want to worry her pretty, little head with this stuff, but I think there are two, or three, more people in the streets today than there were on Bush's inauguration day. And notice, the sun is shining!

22. THANK GOD THANK GOD!!
It's just unbelievable...

This makes anything else I've ever been involved with PALE by comparison - and I was at the DC marches in the 60's and 70's.

This is just unreal!

Fan-frigging-tastic.

32. Would that that one would appear on "our" Iraqi TV.
But no way would the misadministration allow it.

25. What's going on? Why are the coffins stopping?
Are they being held up, or are they stopping on purpose?

27. But but but...they say we're a divided electorate!
THere must be an equally huge pro-bu$h rally through Manhattan somewhere else right now! Damn that liberal media for only focusing on this one!

LOL.
