I can see a "new direction" in news coverage- anyway

I notice that there Was a distinct lack of pre-rally hype on this anti victory Anti-war rally. As a matter of fact the 'million Mexican march' had more pre-publicity.

I guess the Legacy Media has decided to play down the anti-war stuff since the Dems and RINO's are fixing to loose the war for us.

Anyway, a name from the past comes up in this rally in D.C., except that her entire history is a little....smudged:

Marching with them was Jane Fonda, in what she said was her first anti-war demonstration in 34 years.

"Silence is no longer an option," Fonda said to cheers from the stage on the National Mall. The actress once derided as "Hanoi Jane" by conservatives for her stance on Vietnam said she had held back from activism so as not to be a distraction for the Iraq anti-war movement, but needed to speak out now.
"For her stance on Viet Nam" -how about her seat on a AAA gun in HANOI? (which is the capitol of Viet Nam-for you High School grads)

Among other stars of this rally sponsored by United for Peace and Justice were:
12-year-old Moriah Arnold stood on her toes to reach the microphone and tell the crowd: "Now we know our leaders either lied to us or hid the truth. Because of our actions, the rest of the world sees us as a bully and a liar." Who is a young Nancy Pelosi in training.

Actor Sean Penn said lawmakers will pay a price in the 2008 elections if they do not take firmer action than to pass a nonbinding resolution against the war, the course Congress is now taking.

"If they don't stand up and make a resolution as binding as the death toll, we're not going to be behind those politicians," he said. Actors Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins also spoke.
Which death tool Sean? Your terrorist buddies? How about the thousands of kids killed in AMerica every year because they were too busy playing with their cell phones to drive?

The House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. John Conyers (news, bio, voting record), threatened to use congressional spending power to try to stop the war. "
George Bush has a habit of firing military leaders who tell him the Iraq war is failing," he said, looking out at the masses. "He can't fire you." Referring to Congress, the Michigan Democrat added: "He can't fire us.

"The founders of our country gave our Congress the power of the purse because they envisioned a scenario exactly like we find ourselves in today. Not only is it in our power, it is our obligation to stop Bush." Bush stuck with Rummy long after he should have changed personnel, so exactly WHO did he fire Johnny boy?

And- naturally they included "those who *know* the true facts...
A small contingent of active-duty service members attended the rally, wearing civilian clothes because military rules forbid them from protesting in uniform.

Air Force Staff Sgt. Tassi McKee, 26, an intelligence specialist at Fort Meade, Md., said she joined the Air Force because of patriotism, travel and money for college. "After we went to Iraq, I began to see through the lies," she said. But did you ever spend any time in the sandbox, missy? Or just look at your pictures and listen to your Liberal friends?

In the crowd, signs recalled the November elections that defeated the Republican congressional majority in part because of President Bush's Iraq policy. "I voted for peace," one said.

"I've just gotten tired of seeing widows, tired of seeing dead Marines," said Vincent DiMezza, 32, wearing a dress Marine uniform from his years as a sergeant. A Marine aircraft mechanic from 1997 to 2002, he did not serve in Iraq or Afghanistan. The last sentence pretty much says all you need to know about him...

And the Heroes:
About 40 people staged a counter-protest, including Army Cpl. Joshua Sparling, 25, who lost his leg to a bomb in Iraq.

He said the anti-war protesters, especially those who are veterans or who are on active duty, "need to remember the sacrifice we have made and what our fallen comrades would say if they were alive."
