Protesters Call On Government To Prosecute the New York Times

At a rally outside the New York Times's office last night, protesters called on the government to "prosecute" the newspaper for its recent publication of government security secrets.

Led by a radio talk show host and Caucus for America president, Rabbi Aryeh Spero, almost 100 people gathered on 43rd Street to voice their outrage at the Times's decision to publish "national security secrets relating to our government's financial monitoring programs to track down terrorists."

1. Freeper protestors?

I am surprised they could get 100 people together. Probably 90% were sent by Cheney.

[LiberalFighter]

21. The same ones that were at the Miami 2000 recount

[ShockediSay]

39. Whose funding them?

Think about it

[EFerrari]

41. If they're staffers, we are. n/t

[chill_wind]

43. Were they all dressed in nice stiff *brownshirts* and (crisp off the

plane chinos and Gucci's?) ie Roger Stone's foot-soldiers? That would be just too interesting.



"Roger J. Stone, Jr.
From SourceWatch

Roger J. Stone, Jr. is a long-time Republican dirty-tricks operative who led the mob that shut down the Miami-Dade County recount and helped make George W. Bush president in 2000. He was also a campaign strategist during the presidential campaigns of Presidents Nixon, Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush. He is the chairman of the Fort Hill Group, a Washington, D.C.-based public affairs firm.

Stone was also a strategist for the 1981 and 1985 campaigns for governor of New Jersey by Thomas H. Kean, who was later appointed by President Bush to chair the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission). <1>"

2. Did they protest RevMoon and the WashTimes for giving submarines to NK?

Not to mention the gifts of tens of millions of dollars to crazy ol' Kim.

[MasonJar]

3. New York DUers, it is time for a counter-rally in support of the

Constitution.

[hatrack]

4. Wow, charges of treason in wartime drew nearly 100 protesters

Impressive.

Not.

[Cocoa]

7. I wonder what "almost 100" means

maybe it was just the Rabbi and his radio producers.

[Ezlivin]

5. If 400 counter-protested, would the MSM notice?

If 10,000 protesters filled the streets to support the NY Times, would the MSM notice?

It seems like the MSM only pays attention to one side of the story now. After all, how many protesters filled the streets before the Iraq war?

[dave123williams]

11. They didn't notice when MILLIONS took to the street before Iraq started up

[LeftCoast]

6. There's nobody who loves freedom more than a RWer.

:eyes:

[texastoast]

8. Are they going to protest the Plame outing?

I thought not. What a bunch of hypocrites.

[Lerkfish]

9. I wonder if THEY had police jam billy clubs in their stomachs?

naw...prolly not.

[KansDem]

17. You mean like this...?

10. If 100.000 showed up calling for * to be prosecuted, they wouldn't mention

it.

[rusty charly]

16. they did

[leveymg]

28. But they didn't mention it!

I was there at the one last September in DC. Not much coverage considering the size of the event. Quarter of a million, maybe more.:hi:

[coalition_unwilling]

24. Or they'd dismiss it as "100s of protesters demanded . . ." (n/t)

[zulchzulu]

12. Hand out copies of Bush's Executive Order 13224 (092401)

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/09/20010924-1.html

It looks like Bush let the story out to show the terrorists what we are doing! It's on the White House web site!!!

:sarcasm:

[Qutzupalotl]

19. I'm sure he wrote that himself.

It sounds exactly like the way he talks.

He wouldn't just sign something that somebody else wrote, would he?

[sakabatou]

13. How dare the publish public information!

Their traiters!

[Imperialism Inc.]

14. Almost 100?

Wow. Just wow! Sounds hugh! Very series.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. A whole 100! Wow! Wonder why they get 'news' coverage and the

half million who marched in front of the White House last fall, got none?

[goforit]

18. Rove is back stirring up trouble.

[young_at_heart]

20. Protesters need to protest the "protesters"

I wish our groups had been down in Florida protesting those fake protesters in 2000. They got away with it, to the delight of the neo-cons.

[FlaGranny]

32. There were numerous and large protests in

Florida after the 2000 election. I'm not surprised though that people elsewhere don't know much about it.

[RCinBrooklyn]

No one was protesting Judith Miller leaking Iraq info.

22. No one was protesting Judith Miller leaking Iraq info.

[yellowcanine]

23. Almost 100? Freeper says 300 (200 at one time). How many portapotties is

that? Maybe they should just count the portapotties and report that.

"When I saw that we had 30 or more people at a quarter to five, I knew it was going to be a success, since most people were coming after work. I would say we had 300 all together, counting all the people coming and going at different times; probably a peak of 200 at any one time."

[WePurrsevere]

25. Maybe they were counting the folks who stopped to watch the freep show....

these folks are wild enough they'd even get attention in NYC?

[depakid]

26. Led by a radio talk show host....

Yet another poster child for media divestment and re-regulation.

[geomon666]

27. See this is what we should be doing.

Protesting this disgusting Fox News and other right wing crap.

[Judi Lynn]

29. Gee, these clowns are really mobile, aren't they?

It seems only yesterday they rocked the newsworld by massing in Washington D. C. on a weekend hundreds of thousands turned out to protest the coming war, when they staged their own PRO-BOGUS WAR demonstration. That was awe-inspiring.

[FrankLee]

30. Mission Accomplished

The Bush admin doesn't really want to prosecute the Times. They just want to stir up their idiot base a bit and get them to express outrage and poison the well for the upcoming elections. Stupid fucking knee-jerk mullets.

[silvermachine]

31. Sounds...

...(and smells like) another "Brooks Brothers Riot" to me...

[NYC Liberal]

33. I remember when DEMOCRATS had a protest in NYC...

[Joanne98]

34. One Hundred SPOILED BRATS have a public tantrum!

Stop the presses.

[Jack Rabbit]

35. Jack Rabbit call for international tribunal to prosecute government

!!

[NVMojo]

36. FACIST FREEPER PROTESTORS!!! Whack jobs!!

[AliceWonderland]

37. Sigh... I hate being put in the position of defending the NYT

...now that makes me cranky.

Not that 100 yahoos is much of a threat.

[Rainscents]

38. 90 were media... 10 were freepers.

Don't ya love, corporate media? N/T! :crazy:

[chill_wind]

40. No Gophers protested Condi Rice "disclosing" an intel asset named khan

"on background" and blowing up an undercover UK/Pakistan operation in TWOT 2004.

Gee!

42. This is the NY Times' karma for their support of Judith Miller

Nothing like Freepers wearing kippot!
