#1 At least some of the crowd were in effect hired - college students who were told they could get extra credit for participating.
Even with that, and with a big chunk of the crowd being life-long anti-American Communists rather that war protesters, it was a sizeable gathering, and large enough to get good shots on tv, which will help the movement grow. It's just how things developed in 1965 - and probably a lot of the very same Commies.

#2 I knew this was going to be ther results. They had a "Big" protest in Sacramento last Friday afternoon (kind of a warm up) and maybe 50 people showed up. The paper claimed 200 but I went by during the "Rally" and they must have been including squierels. I only hope that while they were arresting those 189 people they resisted just enough to get whacked or tazed.

#3 I've seen how leftist politicians hate the military. It's disgusting. We're fighting a war not in Iraq but with them," said Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, a retired Air Force pilot.

He's not alone in that opinion.

For those who don't know him, Buzz was Aide de Camp to Clinton (i.e. carried the nuclear weapons codes and was therefore with him during a lot of Clinton's activities). He wrote a scathing book about it after he retired. Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security

His latest is War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Eliminate the Military and Lose the War on Terror debuts

#4 I doubt it will happen in D.C., but I look forward to the day when a whole bunch of anti-war freaks are thumped, and the police aren't there to protect them.

#5 Activists said they are planning "a week of action" meant to push the antiwar movement to a more confrontational stage

Sounds like they are moving towards a more dangerous path

#6 lotp - does your link go thru Fred's Amazon link?

Prolly not. But I did add it to my wish list, and when I go shopping at Amazon.com soon (Christmas is a'comin' and the geese are gettin'fat), I'll go thru Fred's portal.

#8 And that's a good reminder to us all: if anyone links to Amazon for book info, do it through RB so that Fred gets the credit when anyone buys using that link.

#9 At least the Washington Post article covered both demonstrations. My local television news last night only showed the antiwar demonstrations, in tight focus to make the crowd appear larger.

#10 I attended the counter-protest. Counter-protesters had 500 people at best and protesters had about 10K. We were considerably out numbered but gave the traitors their due. I found out this morning that COL Riley (Eagles Up!) had lost his voice. I was standing near him as the protesters marched down PA Ave. He gave his all as did everyone else.
