Is There ONE PICTURE ANYWHERE of "1000+ Bush Supporters"...
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 04:48 PM by Junkdrawer
Come on people, if 1000, 2000, 4000 or more Bush supporters showed up anywhere, you KNOW we would be flooded with live video and pictures.

All I've seen are the typical, low-camera-angle-to-exaggertate-numbers shots of less than 100 supporters.

As Jon Stewart says: Show me I'm wrong.

1. I saw one of 4 people standing on a curb.
Maybe they can photoshop it and make those four look like a huge crowd. They like doing that:

4. Yeah but those "4" on the curb were pretty "unique"
looking characters. I hate like hell to be in a crowd of a thousand of them.

2. I posted this a while ago. If you look at the end of my post there's a
link to post #868, which leads to one pic of some freeps in a tent.
It appears to be about 40-50 people. The most I've seen though.

9. Scarce ground in Crawford? There's nothing BUT ground in Crawford.
LOL, it's not as if they're in some urban setting surrounded by buildings or some area with dense trees and vegetation.

11. CNN has turned on their Bushco propaganda machine. Call them on their lies

They are reporting bullshit lowball numbers and showing week old footage of Casey Camp 1 and no photos/footage of Camp 2....

The video they showed had about 20 people.

27. Patience is what I've been advocating today, too, in several threads
I think the anxiety level is rather high. Can't imagine why, can you? ;)
Now, I'm impatient for the 24th of September to arrive! :woohoo:

10. Someone's been lying to the freeps
telling them there are thousands there. Freeps are mad at Fox for not showing them!!! Maybe because it was a LIE! :rofl:

They're furious because there are no pictures of those thousands of pro-war, pro-violence Bush supporters. Just read a thread at FR. I'm sure if this were true, Fox would have the pictures!

Those two guys on the horses with the yellow ribbons must be on our side since yellow ribbons mean 'bring them home'!!

Don't Freeps bring their own cameras? They're asking why they can't post online!! Guess they have to wait 'til later to photoshop their 'evidence', just like Bush did with the soldiers!

They didn't stay long, I guess the funding only covered them for a couple of hours. Cindy's crowd never leaves and keeps replenishing itself without funding.

The freeps said that Moveon was funding the Cindy rally!! They heard it on tv. What a lie that is.

I saw one picture of the freeps, about 50 in a tent. They looked like aging draftdodgers ~ just like their AWOL leader. I guess that's why they like him. He too was too afraid to go to a war he said he supported!! Makes them feel they finally found a leader who understands them.

14. I have noticed
that ChronWatch (freeper message board) is relatively quiet about the rally today! I went over there to see what kind of attention they were giving this and found almost no mention of the rally??????

How strange!!!!!!!

17. Yea, some talking head on CNN said that Cindy was being funded...
... by MoveOn and a list of groups -I don't remember which ones (other than MoveOn) he mentioned so I don't want to misquote. It was one of their older reporters, a guy with white hair whose name escapes me at the moment. He was answering a call-in from a Freeper who was reading some RW propaganda script about Camp Casey being funded by a bunch of left-wing extremists.

13. It is very odd, even on Canadian news they are only showing
very small groups of pro-war protesters while reporting on this. There has not been ONE photo of even hundreds, never mind thousands.

18. Getty Images has some- couple of dozen in these shots
http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/FrameSet.aspx?s=EventImagesSearchState%7c1%7c0%7c28%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c1%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c53462087%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0&p=1&tag=2

I don't know if they can be linked individually. I haven't figured it out. But they do great work.

Some of those freeps wrote on their HORSES!

22. Yes, that looks like repeat pictures
of the same people I've seen elsewhere, the mother with the pic of her son, the horses. No more than a few dozen. I saw another with about 50 or so, and then one from Fox which was at an angle but only showed a few dozen also. If Fox had that shot, they would have the 'thousands'. Freeps said the Fox announcer looked 'uncomfortable'. Maybe he knew they'd blame him for not being able to produce the pictures ~

I think Karl Rove lied to the freepers and they're now mad at Fox!!! If there were that many people in Crawford, someone would have filmed them. Poor freeps, got their hopes up it seems, and now they'll probably blame Clinton or someone. It's all so staged. They all say the same things when they are interviewed. 'Cindy is helping the enemy blah blah!' I've heard that over and over from each one of the five or so who were interviewed.

Who got the troops killed? Who got Casey killed? Who sent them there and told a pack of lies to do so? This quickly thrown together 'counter protest' packaged as their stuff usually is, cannot compare to the numbers who support Cindy and who keep coming, every day to support her. Look at the vigils last week, even the media said 'hundreds of thousands' around the country!

They need to face facts ~ they were lied to and are still being lied to and most Americans are waking up and their numbers are diminishing by the day, and the more they smear Cindy, the more support they lose!

24. Here's one more with the King of the Freepers
Rimjob himself sitting front and center.



I still don't see anything close to 300 freepers, no less 3000. What a crock o' shit.

25. Counting the exaggeration techniques....
There's:

1.) 200 huge signs and 20 protesters

2.) Show a couple dozen marching up against a huge sign

3.) Huge tent with everyone in the front of the tent

4.) Same folks shot from different angles

and, of course, the Leni Riefenstahl (see post#21) special...

5.) Film a few from a ground level camera

32. Someone needs to give Mr. Yellowshirt an enlistment form...
...I see several other people in that crowd that should've "supported" the troops by going to Iraq instead of Crawford.
