1/20/2003: Violent "peace" protestors

It doesn't matter what the people were there for if their presence is successfully spun as lemmings for extremists.

UT, true, which is why I'm taking my time to fight that spin.

It seems the only people trying to spin it that way are the pro-war folks. And even then, it's just some of the sillier ones.

Also, it's a stretch. Since even ANSWER's home page isn't trying to take credit as a 'huge march for Stalin'. The only people trying to give them credit for such a thing are those that want to discredit the showing, which seemed to be about 200k, from what I've heard.

And I haven't heard much. Its seems that even since the 400,000-850,000 Man March, the Forest Service has shied away from making official estimates of crowd sizes. Which might be a nice opportunity for someone who wants to specialize in such a profession.
