O'Leilly's Show - Tony Snow - 500 to 1000 protestors today
O'Reilly asked Tony Snow how many protestors today: Snow said 500 to 1000. O'Reilly reiterated, "So just a couple of hundred, hardly any?" And Snow responded, "Hardly any."

OK - let's flood their emails with pictures of the thousands and thousands who were there today. Let's stop this damn propoganda.

email: oreilly@foxnews.com

These people are really the lowest of the low - I am going to yahoo and getting photos.

Now.

2. Articles which describe quite a different view-
Thousands of protesters descend on Washington


By Donna Borak
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL

Washington, DC, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- In one of the largest-scale efforts mounted by anti-Bush protesters, thousands of activists banned together Thursday with one resounding message: "You're not my president, President Bush."


Huddled in masses, staving off the cold with layers of clothes, wool hats and gloves, many of the tens of thousands of protesters began their day at Malcolm X Park on 16th Street for the D.C. Anti-War Network rally and march. They amassed under the cause of what they said was emancipating social justice from the grasp of President George W. Bush and ending the U.S. occupation in Iraq.

Protests Share Inaugural Spotlight Amid Top Security

Jan. 20 (Bloomberg) -- A protester briefly interrupted President George W. Bush's second inaugural speech and, amid the tightest security in the history of the event, demonstrators condemned U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

Carrying flag-draped coffins on a march through downtown Washington, hundreds of protesters denounced the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and demanded more money for health care, schools and housing. Two police officers sustained cuts and bruises in a scuffle with demonstrators near the Capitol and, separately, there were at least 10 arrests, police said.

``Fifty-one percent is not a mandate,'' said health-care activist Vanessa Dixon, referring to Bush's vote total in a speech to more than 200 people gathered at a designated protest area on Pennsylvania Avenue. ``There's a real and present danger in the world. That danger is George W. Bush.''

A protester booed Bush during his inaugural speech at the Capitol and yelled, ``Where are the poor? Did you ship them out of town?'' He was shouted down by the crowd and escorted away by police. Officials closed one entrance to the parade route because people were throwing stones over the security tent. Police in riot gear were posted at a nearby entrance.

7. It's bullshit, these lies. Pictures don't lie!
News is just trying to be optimistic (ignorant), and lie to a (decreasingly) unquestioning public.

9. I don't want to discourage your spirit
but you can email them until hell freezes over, they're not going to change. Fox is right wind propaganda, nothing more, nothing less. A better solution is to turn it off and quit giving them ratings. Encourage others to do so as well.

10. Media Matters sent out an unbelievable e-mail today with
a transcript of the dips on the Faux morning show dissing the Democrats and flat-out lying. Not that I'm shocked that they are lying but would someone please tell me why no one else in the media ever, ever, ever calls them on their bullshit and lies? People watch this shit and and believe that they are seeing newscast and they are not-what they are seeing are "opinion casts".

12. I don't care
I emailed both Tony Snow and O'Reilly with photos and the link to the (whorish) Wash Times, and I told them as long as they lie, they will win converts to our side. I hate liars.

16. Yeah a lot of "Do your job!" and "Tell us the truth!"
It was great. Obviously, we won't be hearing about it though. Wish I had a video camera.

17. Let 'em keep deluding themselves.
Classic Sun Tsu. When you are few, make the enemy think you are many. And when you are many, make the enemy think you are few.

19. I asked Snow if he had any fear of God
for his lies, in my email to him. I included the news services that contradicted his reporting.

It was signed and addressed. We'll see if we hear back from him.
