What's this? MSM Coverage?! Protesters prepare for Saturday's antiwar demonstration

[happy_liberal]

Maggie Pondolfino has a 24-year-old son who is a soldier serving in Afghanistan -- "he's honorable, courageous, has a lot of integrity and he loves his mother," she said.

Which is why, in part, she said she will be marching in an antiwar demonstration Saturday to bring him and other soldiers home from what protesters Thursday called America's "illegal war for empire."

The protest, against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, will begin with a noon rally in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House. The march will follow.

Organizers said at a news conference Thursday that the Afghanistan conflict has become "Obama's war." They criticized the continued fighting there and in Iraq, and said the president's war policies were just like former President George W. Bush's.

"Same soup, just a different bowl," said Mahdi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom. "This is Obama's war. This is not Bush's war."

1. That is because the War belongs to the Democrats now and more specifically, Obama

They would never have shown this when bu$h was in office.

3. tis true

but this is good news for the antiwar movement

2. M$M will cover any protest that appears to target Obama

regardless of where it comes from. The LIBERAL media, ha

[happy_liberal]

4. but finally we will get that coverage

Now is the time to end these wars. This is our only chance. If Obama is only a one termer, we'll have Cheney(or Jeb) and Sarah and a push for more war with full complicity of the media. The time to act is now!
