Heck, many were probably just out to walk their dogs or to see the hubbub

and they also cited "thousands." All the camera angles were close up, but you could definitely see a lack of people in the rear.
If there were thousands, they must have been distributed throughout the city.

Cindy Sheehan. Al Sharpton.
Look which groups are represented. Moveon.org among others, some even nuttier.
Immediate withdrawal. That's real practical and would really help Iraq, right?
Seems like a slam dunk to me. Why aren't you marching with them?

How do you know I wasn't? I might as well be one of the many who think that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home!

I had a feeling you might be one of them. Or you "might as well" be one.

I had to double check when it came on TV because it looked like another Planet of the Apes rerun.
About all they could do was march and even that not well.

.... it could be hard to tell them from the protesters championing illegal immigration. 
Terry, there were anti-war protests before the war, and during the war. Now, I defend a citizen's right to protest. But I admit that it bothers me because our troops in Iraq do watch the news. That being said, I do think that our troops also know that the vast majority of our citizens do support them. I suspect that nobody wants them to return to American soil more than they want to come home. But they are there, are committed to their mission.
Those out to kill as many Americans and those they say are supporting Americans, also watch television. In some of their home countries they stage protests. They are good at it.
The difference is that in those countries the populace is taught tand encouraged to despise Americans. We despise terrorists. We don't despise the Iraqi people.
Because we don't , we know we can't leave them high and dry until they have a better sense of security around them. Sure, there were errors in judgment made from the get-go, but this is now.

in Brattleboro, VT, which is a way left hotbed. There was a demonstration in the park against sexual violence. They marched around carrying signs, blocking traffic and chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, sexual assault has got to go!"
Aside from wondering who they were caling a ho, I was wondering, do they expect people who might commit sexual assault to see the demonstration and decide NOT to?

.... to the problem.
Silly, silly chant!
Wonder how many of them would try to be excused from jury duty if a perpetrator was going to trial.

......cheap entertainment. Most of them probably couldn't care less what the sign said. Just make noise and wave signs, any sign, any cause.
IMO, if the USofA were to abruptly pull out, I wonder how long it would take the Osama wannabe's to test the water inside this country, again.

I'm surprised you had the stregnth [sic] to post it.
Wasn't it YOU who brought up trailer parks?
At least you and the rest of the gang had nice weather for your little outing. Did you happen to talk to Sharpton about the deaths he caused in Crown Heights?

If you can find a post from/by me previous to that post that talks about "trash", please let me know!

Not stereotypical economic classes like "trailer trash". There's a HUGE difference.
